I normally walk 1 mile at 10:00 and 1 mile at 2:00. I walk 8 laps in the building where I work. If I do this on a continuously basis, how much weight can I look forward to losing. The lady I walk with wears a meter and it said we burned 120 calories when we walked at 2:00 this afternoon.

I'm a teenager. All my life, I was never good at school. My marks were always inconsistent. So now I wonder, if the doctor diagnoses me with Adhd- what the hell am I suppose to do? They won't do the testing until another 3 months and I've already started giving up. I've self-diagnosed myself. The thing is, the more an untreated person with Adhd tries, the worse he/she becomes.

At work I am usually sitting in my cubicle for 9 hours a day in front of a computer. Lately, I've been getting stiffness in my neck, shoulder pain as well as other upper back ailments. Is this normal?

After having my son (6 years old now) I was left with a lovely parting gift....stretchmarks... on my inner & outter thighs, and above my buttocks. I find them repulsive. Now I know it could be worse, blah blah blah....but I this is bad enough for me. Does anybody know any remedies that actually work? I've heard Coco butter?

I went to the dentist (a rough older dentist who didn't pay attention to what was going on much) to get my molars filled. I had to get fillings in the upper and lower on my left side. Even after a year and 1/2 I still can't chew harder food on that side. I chew with ease on the right side which still has cavities.
That's not normal is it?
He did tell me in one of my upper molars I may eventually have to have a root canal. But my lower hurts too and I don't get why.
I know I have to go to the dentist again soon for more fillings and to get my wisdom teeth pulled...but defenatly not the same guy...he needs to retire!

Can anyone hep me with this question? First of all, I don't have insurance and cannot see a doctor. I go through my local free clinic. Now, this past summer, late august, I got a period, and on my first day, I was doubled over in pain from cramps, bleeding was normal, lasted four days, was fine afterwards. The next period I got was the same thing, intense menstral cramping, was fine afterwards. In September, my period came a week later than it was supposed to and when it did come I had a slow heart rate and felt really weird. Well, eighteen days later, here I am on my period, with a slow heart rate, no cramps, and had heavy bleeding so much so that i bled through a tampon onto a pad yesterday. My chest also is kinda hurting so what I wanna know is...is tere any reason for alarm. This is all very new to me, and I am not on any birth control or have been sexually active. I am scared to start my next period because I am afraid of my heart stopping all together...

Okay the past week I think i cracked an eye muscle because when I took pics my eyes look completely different?
cross eyed or something compared to the previous weeks before ...does cracking of eye muscles have anything to do with going cross eyed or eyes looking more inward?

On thursday my throat began to hurt and I thought I was getting a common cold or a reaction to a flu shot I just had. On Sunday I was really tired and my body was sore. My sister in law (a nurse) looked in the back and saw white puss pockets and told me I had strep throat. I went to the doctor today and I tested neg. for strep throat and mono. He said people with sinus infections get this but I have never had a sinus infection and then he didnt know what I had. He just gave me anti-bodies but it seemed weird that he couldnt pin-point anything. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them? My throat is soo sore and I can barely eat, I feel really tired and my whole body hurts. (no sniffles). Thank You
