Someone told me that when you are losing weight, your stretch marks change to you skin color. Someone else told me that when you are losing weight, your strech marks are red. So my question is, what color of your stretch marks when you are losing weight?

Yesterday (Tuesday) I woke up at 6 am with some sort of stomach virus. I was very nausious, had heavy diarrhea, headache, etc. I took about 6 pepto bismals during the day, ate some toast, it seemed to have gone away by the evening (I'm not 100% yet but no more diarrhea). It is now the next day (Wednesday) and my friend is throwing a big party and I was planning on drinking vodka or Jack Daniels during this party. Is this a bad idea? Or should drinking have no effect on this? Would beers maybe be the better option to drink? Thanks

Okay, well I got my ears pierced when I was like 2-3 months old. I've never had an earring hole infection, but now I've started wearing these pair of earrings and I don't know if it's the earrings or what, but now both earring holes are hard, and crusty and I have to wet them with water to make them soft so I can put my earrings in. Any tips of what I should do? Thanks!

I have taken 4 ekg's and the doctors have found nothing. My heart beats fast when i wake up and then i take a toporol pill which is a beta blocker and then when i eat it beats fast again and a couple hours later it will calm down again. When my heart is beating fast i have shortness of breath. Any ideas of what this may be? It is very scary when your heart beats this fast. Around 200 beats a minute.

I am a 17-year-old girl and I have always been conscious of my weight. I started exercising quite heavily when I was about 12 and I really enjoyed it, but since about a year ago I have been really depressed and can't find the motivation to exercise any more. I am so used to doing some form of exercise every day that not being able to keep fit has become a serious worry for me. As I sit here typing, I feel totally lousy because this is usually my "exercise time" and I am missing it. But I'm so tired... :o( Please help.

But I have a very VERY fast metabolism which annoys me so much. In the last 2 months I've been gaining, then over a period of a week ( a very stressful one) I lost it all. Anyone have any suggestions on how much I should eat each day of these to reach my goal (10-15 pounds in 1 month):

Grams of protein?
Grams of fat?
Carbs?

Also would creatine help me reach my goal?

Do you like anal sex? Have you ever tried it? Did you like it? I'm an adult so please don't delete my question, I'm really wondering if there's other women out there that liked it, and if so, do you have it often?

I had a hard life from childhood, teenager, and the beginning of adulthood. I have committed myself to a hospital for depression they gave me tons of med and I had to see a counselor for 4 months twice a week but he never really did anything but listen. The next time I was down I saw another counselor who just listen then saw a psychologist who types the whole time I talked to her and gave me more medications.
Who can I talk to who will really help medications don't solve problems they just cover them.

I apparently have an infection on the ring finger of my left hand, in a cut almost an inch long which I got from a nail. I have had it for about half a week. Despite dowsing it in peroxide and neosporin, it's still there, and doesn't appear to be getting any better.

What I originally thought was a scab formed over it early on. I believe it is actually dried puss, as it is yellow, is depressed in the skin instead of raised, and when I put peroxide or neosporin on it, it softens into a mucus-like substance. I tried removing it when it was soft, but it won't come out, and I don't want to forcebly pull it out since I'm not a doctor or anything and don't know what I'm doing :p

The infected area is sore, and I'm starting to become a bit concerned. Any suggestions, especially ones that are proven effective, would be much appreciated. Thank you to the answerers, and God bless you all!
