I have been smoking cigarettes for about 3 years. I just can't seem to quit. I hate smelling like smoke all the time. And my chest hurts sometimes. I can't even go up a flight of stairs without feeling out of breath. I can't stand it anymore. I've tried the gum and the patch, but they didn't work. I still got headaches, and craved a cigarette SO badly. Sometimes i will quit cold turkey for about 2 days, then get stressed out, and give up and buy a pack. How dd you quit smoking???

Ongoing debate with my guy who says that every guy on wants to have big muscles unless they're gay. I don't have a problem with guys who work out, but is it realistic to think that all guys want to build huge muscles? We have a wager on this, so guys, let's hear what you think.

I really get really bad menstraul cramps during the time my period comes each month, I take Ibuprofen and it helps somewhat, but I shouldn't take it because I have GI problems and Ibuprofen can worsen it. I haven't found anything to help over the counter, even my OBGYN hasn't helped me. They just give me birth control pills that don't work for me but get me nauseated.
Maybe there is another drug I don't know about or some type of food that works, does anyone out there know of anythinhg?

I am 5 weeks preg. and My 1st dr. app. isn't until the 13th. I have been taking sunvalley prenatal vitamins you get over the counter. Has anyone taking these before and whats the differance between these and prescribed ones.

I am going to take them with me to my dr. appt. and ask her opinion!

I would like to keep taking them though because with my 1st child I had ones that were prescribed and they made me sick these dont.

I have been experiencing occasional spells of painful bowel movements...it only really seems to hurt as it is leaving (I guess at the point of the anus?) not internally. I do not have any cuts or scratches or reasons for abbraisions or anything.

There is a little bit of blood when I wipe, but not in the stool itself, and only when I am experiencing the painful BM's.

It seems to last a few days and then does away.

I have never had children or any sort of trauma in that reigon.

Does this sound like Hemorrhoids or should I be concerned that it is something else?

My right foot becomes really painful every few weeks. Starts at my big toe and goes round the ball of my foot.It also becomes quite swollen. It lasts for about a week. Im planning on walking the west highland way next year and starting to panic a bit now. Nothing in particular seems to start it off.

My nose runs everytime I go from one room to a different room, any time there is even the slightest change in temperature. I don't have any alergies(non that show up on tests) , and I don't have a cold. It happens whenever I walk outside, or go from the lobby of a building to another floor. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm otherwise healthy, but would really like to not carry tissues with me everywhere. Also, people always assume I'm sick, and I don't like for them to feel uncomfortable, because I'm not contagious.

I woke up this morning and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I did not notice any thing unusual on my face before brushing my teeth, but when I started brushing my teeth, I began to have this burning sensation on my lips, and within seconds, the left side of my lips began to swell. The burning decreased when I washed the toothpaste away from my lips, but the rash or pimple- like swelling remained on the left side of my lips. Is this an allergic reaction, and am I allergic to toothpaste? This is very surprising to me, because I have never had any physical allergic reaction to any thing before- apart from the usual sneezing when I am around dust or heavy scented perfumes- and I have been using the same bottle of toothpaste for the past 3 weeks. I am beginning to think that this might be a result of something else. Please I would appreciate any clues as to what this is.

So like I started my period this morning as usual and it hurts more on the first day then it ever has before, like ever since I started. I have really bad cramps and I just don't feel well at all. It is normal for me to be like nausous and have some cramps but not like this. I don't know I was just wondering if any one has had experience with periods that are worse then usual and how to feel better. Thank you

I am a 27 year old female, my bone structure is very small and thin, but Im tall. I work out five days a week and lift weights. You can see my muscles when I flex them, but they look so small! Is there any way I can make them visible when Im not flexing them? Ive been working out now for over a year, and see a little improvement, but not to my satisfaction. I've also been pregnant, (8 years ago), and I have some belly fat that I cant seem to get rid of no matter how many situps I do! Am I doing something wrong? I eat right, am active and healthy, but im not seeing any results! I just want to get a little bulkier, especially in the bicep/tricep area. Are there different exercises that I should be doing?
