My God Daughter is two months old and is not around other children but we believe that by the look of her stool she may have tape worms. My best friend is calling the pediatritian now and waiting for a call back. But I thought I would ask in the meantime.

Everyone I know says I am too skinny and should eat more, but my BMI is in the overweight range. Does everyone in the normal range of BMI look skinny to other people?

She used to be right on track for potty training but had one hard bowel movement that hurt and now holds it in until it's as big as my fist! It's becoming a test of wills and not much is working. I give her milk of magnesia 2 times a day and fibersure in all her food. She still holds it in and screams bloody murder. Will it just take time? She drinks prune juice , should I up her dose of milk of mag? 2 teaspoons right now.

i have been feeling very tired just lately so i checked my blood sugar level this morning before i had anything to eat and it was 8.0. i have a book that came with the machine and it says that normal range should be between 3.9 and 5.8 before breakfast for non-diabetics. i checked it again 10 mins ago and its back down to 6.4 which is within normal range. l have also been getting a lot of headaches. i dont want to bother a doctor and take up their time if theres nothing to worry about but i must admit i am confused as to why my blood sugar levels are up and down like a yo-yo. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

When little I remember my first dog had big testicles. My mother then told me it is what makes a male strong. Latter I found that balls also make boys weak.
Problem, I alway am facinated with a guys balls. Love to play with them and the control I get. Some guys like it rough, some are wimps. Any other girls like balls and the sac.

Sorry to gross y'all out but I'm a little worried...

Just passed a stool which looked relatively normal except for a couple of small bright red bits. I did have red peppers for dinner last night so could this just be a bit of that or could it possibly be blood? This has happened a few times before but it's always been after I've eaten tomatoes or something red (I'm not a very good chewer).

Plus, what does blood look like in a stool? Would it be like a couple of hard red specks moulded in with an otherwise normal stool?

Hope nobody's eating while reading this!

is it right to be paying for health insurance (health, dental &eye) from an employer and not have the coverage details? Like our company just signed up for new dental & vision October 1st. The benefits went into affect Nov 1st...but we have no cards, no group number, nothing! I dont think its right that we're paying for all this coverage if we have no info on if we can use these benefits and where. Im desperate to get my eyes checked, ive been waiting for coverage since march...and the HR girl said the eye coverage hasnt even been processed yet...how can i go about bringing this up or getting money back??

Hi. I'm a 23 year old male, and I've recently started to have mild anxiety attacks. The first couple of times were bad; I thought I was really ill, and I went to emergency. It's happened about twice a day since then for the past week.
I've learned that they won't hurt me, and I manage to stay pretty calm during them now. It's really just my heart racing and my stomach churning a bit; otherwise I am calm.
I'm healthy, and stress-free (I think). I do yoga and exercise regularly.
Is it likely that I have to deal with this for the rest of my life, or is it possible that it will go away?

We usually do it twice a day. When she plays with my balls for a long period of time, more juice comes out? Does this make a difference with the sperm count?

I have been in pain for over a year. I have seen 6 Doctors. I have also been in PT for about 8 months. Most of my doctors have given up on me. I have been on many painkillers with little or no effect. Everything besides laying down hurts. The pain extends from the bottom of my rib cage to my shoulder blades. I have started going to a chiropractor, but it is only reducing a small amount of pain. I'm stuck in a state of extreme inactivity and depression. I have also cleaned out my bank account trying to fix my kidney. Being in pain most of the time is really tough too deal with and i don't know what too do.
