I HAVE LONG BROWN, THICK, WAVY HAIR (DOWN TO MY WAIST). I HAVE BEEN TOLD, NOT ASKED, BUT TOLD NOT TO COLOR MY HAIR BECAUSE I COULD GET CANCER BY THE CHEMICALS USED.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS THIS TO BE A FACT OR FICTION.
PLEASE RESPOND AND THANK YOU.

I know that you're only supposed to use distilled water in the unit, but I'm just curious...
What about Vick's Vapo Steam? This was never an issue before I got my CPAP, I just used a humidifier...

I'm not overweight but I'm not in good shape either. I work full-time during the day and attend classes three nights during the week. Weekends are spent catching up on chores and doing homework. I had a gym membership for a while but rarely used it and it was $60 a month even with my company contributing a portion so I cancelled it. I have some equipment at home but I dust it more than I use it and I don't have anyone to exercise with minus my dogs when I walk them. Any suggestions on how I can get my lazy butt into gear?

Thanks!

Yeasterday I had some dental work done and I had some strange reactions (new to me anyway). Pounding heart, extreme nervousness, fight or flight kinds of things. Is this common?

I mean just in terms of general discomfort... not involving sticking hands up butts and feeling around.

See... I've got this interesting pain just a tiny bit northward of my groinal parts.... a rather inexplicable and temporary pain, but uncomfortable in an amusing sort of way regardless.

I know my family are rather prone to cancer... my mother's father and my own father both having died of it... and since one in three people die of cancer at some point, I wouldn't be surprised if I'd go the same way (unless I voluntarily end myself before that).

I'm just wondering if pains in that region could indicate cancer at all or whether its just something else. It didn't go away when I went for a p!ss... so its not bladder issues, I imagine...

Oh.... and no... I'm not going to see a doctor.
If it is cancer, I fully intend to just suffer it out to whatever end it may bring.
[Note to theists: life is not sacred... its an accident, and is fundamentally worthless, including mine.]

Someone told me that they only give you Tylenol? Is that true? Then one person told me percocet? Which is it?

For about 12 years now I ve had these conditions along with mood swings, and migranes, and non of the drs seem to no what is causing them. It's not pre manipulse, or thyroid, blood work says no problems, all other tests come back neg also. My resting heart rate is quite often high yet the drs. say it's not. AHA says anything over 90 is to high and I also just finished be recertified for bp screening so I no it is to high. I stay fatigued a lot also. Can someone please help me figure out what is going on with me. I m at my ropes end and I can not afford to be hospitalized any more. The bills are going to kill me if what ever is wrong with me doesn't do it first. I have bi-polar but that would not cause the phyical condition, Nor would any of the medicines I was taking. Now the only med I m on is Abilify. I also have autheritise

I just saw a guy on The Today Show who was a contestant on The Biggest Loser. He had lost over a hundred pounds and looked like a different person. He is now quite handsome. I would be interested in hearing from people who have lost a lot of weight about how it has affected their lives. How do you handle being treated differently? How has it changed your relationships? Do you now judge overweight people the way you were once judged? I've heard that friends are not supportive when someone loses a great deal of weight because it changes the dynamics of the relationship (where maybe they once looked down on you, now they have to deal with the hot new you). Have you found this to be true?
