I don't want to judge ppl but like I am kind of freaked out by AIDS and now someone I know has cancer I don't really want to catch it or be around them. IS that bad? It just freaks me out!

I'm not sure if it's an exposed nerve or maybe the second more sensitive layer has become exposed on a molar, but it's become pretty sensitive to cold. If I just touch it with my (cooler then my mouth) finger it even gives me a jolt. I have an appointment tomorrow for a cleaning and I'm just afraid that cold dental tools will hurt.

Anyone with sensitive teeth know if it ever bothers them or not?

I have lost about 30+ lbs. and am running and lifting weights some. Recently I have been stuck at a certain weight for 3-4 weeks and cant break it. I know I am eating less than i probably should. About 1000 to 1500 calories a day. I weigh about 232 and am 5'6. Any idea why i cant loose anymore? I increased my running and started to cut my calories to below 1000 today, but im unsure. Any help would be appreciated.

I just got back from the dentist and my gums and teeth are rather sore. Is tea tree oil better to use or oil of oregano? And how do I apply either of these? Straight oil or mix with oil and apply?

im 24 and i can sleep the whole day and still feeling really tired. Nothing seem to work on me like caffeine. Is it normal or not for me to sleep like that or if i might have a problem with my body? I cant keep my head focus in school because all I think about is going to sleep or skip a class just sleep in the library. Any suggestion would be helpful.

I hear it's just as good as the normal stuff but way better for you if you're trying to control your weight and health?

Ok, i am a mom to a 7 month old boy. I gained an insane amount of weight during pregnancy (65 pounds). My son was born very large (9.4pounds) so i still have a little bit of tummy weight. Thanksgiving is coming up and when i go back home we are going to go out with some friends and i want to look a little better than i do know. i've lost about 40-45 of those 65 pounds and i am basically back to my weight as a college freshman (depressing) so what can i do to flatten my tummy quickly, i know it's going to take a longer time to rock hard abs but what can i do to at least shirnk my waist so i can wear my pants comfortably...lol. i'm a size 12 and i no longer have to wiggle into my pants so i am making some progress. by this time next year i want to be back to my size 9/11. but for now i just want a little quick fix. i hope another mom out there can sympathize with me, who understands my inner ramblings...lol. a quick way to flatten a tummy at least a little bit.

My 80 yr old mother will shortly be undergoing surgery for which I believe she may need some in-home care afterwards. She has two kinds of insurance (Medicare and a supplement), with no assets to speak of. Does anyone know how I go about finding out what she might be entitled to vis-a-vis in-home care? I've read a bit online, but between long-term care, short-term care, home-health care, custodial care, palliative care, Medicare parts A,B,C, and D, and blah, blah, blah....you get the picture. And what if she needs care on a more regular basis, depending on how this all turns out? Overall, I feel like I'm in a bit over my head. Any guidance out there? And thanks for your answers.

I drink plenty of water but it seems that my mouth dries out like crazy. My lips are also dry and it's soo irritating I lick them sometimes. My tongue turns into a light coat of white from the dryness.. And when I like em I get dried up saliva on my lips which is very unnatractive and annoying. Help!! I think I sweat most of my water out through my pits, palms of hands, and bottom of feet. This is (of course) will doing nothing (i.e. watching t.v. - playing pc/xbox).
