Health - 10 November 2006

Hey! I'm really worried about one of my friends she is saying she is fat when she is not. I insist on telling her she is fine the way she is and is beautiful but she thinks she is huge. She's told me she is on this diet that she only eats 800 calories a day. Is this true? is this healthy? will she lose weight? I don't want her to get hurt but she won't listen to me what can I do to help her!!!!!!

I eat on average one or two cartons of eggs a week, usually 5 at a time. I love eggs and never get sick of them. Is this healthy or not.

I've tried Proactiv and alot of over-the counter products, but nothing really works well.

Also I've visted a derm today and she prescribed me Retinol A, Dyoxycline and Benzaclin..what are your experiences with any of these? And are they suppose to cost so much?

Overall I just want to know what experiences people have had treating their acne & the scars. Thanks ahead!

I was just wondering if people get sharp pains near their hearts or on their left side of their chest. I am young so I am not guessing any heart problems at all very healthy and active. some times it just happens randomly and when it does and I try to take a deep breath the pain gets sharper.. any ideas about this?

I started using an acne medication with salicylic acid in it. I think that's why the skin on my face has dried out. What can I put on it, to help moisturize it? I tried a medicated lotion, but that didn't help.

Just wondering if B complex vitamins have much of an affect on OCD/depression or even PMS symptoms.

I'm a little apprehensive about my surgery. I know its minor with the vein-stripping, but i get bad thoughts about a mistake happening during the operation. The last one wasn't succesful, and it happened to be that i was one of the 5% that was unsuccesful as opposed to the %95 successrate. Is there anyway, if possible, that something tragic could happen that would result in leg amputation? Or would the doctor just have to be really incompetent, but my one surgery with him already went awry by not being successful. I just need some assurance. Could you help me?

I live in Charlotte, NC and would like to become a model for cosmetic denistry, in particular the "teeth in an hour" technique. I am sure there are dentist who are considering using this method and need someone to practice on. I would be willing to travel. I have seen the surgery on nobel biocare web page. The surgery costs 25,000.00!! I would never be able to afford that amount as I am on disability. I would like to return to work but am afraid my present smile would impede an already nerve racking process. Please help if you can.

My freind, Esteban, said you get it from 2 things. (Bad diet, and too much red meat) I need the real facts, how do you get basic cancer & how do you prevent it?

I am a support worker in a care home. How can I best help residents who range from low to high dependency? All I seem to do is wash up, make beds, make meals, lay tables, wash and dress residents, etc. What else can I do to REALLY help them?

All my life I have always handled stray cats. Infact I have 2 stray cats as pets now. 1 is vaccinated/spayed. The 2nd I have had for over 2 months, she is NOT fixed/vaccinated. Next Friday is her big day.
Now my problem is this. I have seen a stray/tomcat off and on roaming my neighborhood for nearly 1 year now.
Bruiser basically took over my yard. He is very friendly/affectionate. He bit me last Tues/Wed. Over a week ago. It was very minor and not deep it pierced the first layer. Like when a sewing needle pokes your finger. 1 drop of blood came out of all 4 fang marks. It was a little scratch more than a bite.
About 3 days later his jaw was swollen so large and was infected looking.His mouth was either hurt or infected.
NOW he is ok again but has a scab where he got hurt under his chin. He eats and drinks like a champ.
Should I get the Rabies vaccination to be on the safe side?
He has not gotten sick for the last 10 days after the bite. Am I safe because he is not sick?

I dont understand why I always have these dreams where it is pitch black, and near the end, when im about to wake up I dream that demons are hidding in shadows and out to get me. Just before I wake up I dream that a demon is appearing or jumping at me.... with claws and red eyes.... with a red body... snarling at me. About to attack me. I have no dreams except for this near the end of it before I wake up.
My anxiety attacks I cant help.... Im taking medication for it and I know I cant take it forever. What should I do to help relieve myself?

As a kid and growing up I was skinny and weighed 145 for about almost two years but now putting on 20 pounds weighing 165 i want to put on a little more weight but its a problem. Sometimes I lose weight just not eatting is it my motabolism? Should I eat more. I lift to and that helped too. I just don't understand how much calorie intake i need.
