Health - 30 November 2006

NEARLY 11 months after a 14-year-old Florida boy died after a beating at a juvenile boot camp, seven ex-guards and a nurse have been charged with aggravated manslaughter.

Martin Lee Anderson was repeatedly kneed and punched by at least seven guards as the nurse stood by. It was later found he died from suffocation.

The beating, captured on videotape, prompted repeated outcries from Anderson's family, black lawmakers and civil rights leaders, and spurred a daylong sit-down by college students outside the office of the Florida Governor, Jeb Bush.

What has been your experience with prozac? I started it two month ago. When I first began taking it I thought I could tell some difference. I wasn't sleeping so much, had more energy, and I seemed to be less dependant on starbucks. My husband and I have been getting along so much better too. Also, my sex drive decreased, which wasn't so bad because before it was Insatiable. Overall I feel less depressed, but I'm not sure if its the meds or my life in general. I have a new job that I love that I started about the same time I started the meds. My job is demanding which keeps me busy, which keeps my mind occupied (less time to be depressed)....but now I'm back to sleeping all the time, drinking more starbucks then I was before, and back to my old low level of energy. I'm still not depressed, but also not happy. The sex drive is still down, but I don't know if its the Prozac thats keeping me from depression and killing my sex drive or if its my new job that keeps me busy 10 hours + a day.

I have used expensive hydroquinone products from the dermatologist and over the counter creams to no avail! I also do not have tons of cash to blow trying new products.

Hi
I have a lump under my armpit. I went to the doctor and said it was just breast tissue, that i could choose wether to remove it or not. I have still not removed it. I have been takin breast enlargement pills and the lump hurts too as if it's getting the same effects that my breasts are. I was wondering, if i remove the lump, will it grow back if i take breast enlargement pills, since they make breasts grow.
thank you.

i think there is something wrong with me, like i have to do things over and over again until it is perfect.

For example, if i am writing an essay i have to retrace words again and again till they look right
I also find myself counting the number of steps i take for example i can only take 2,4,11, or 22 steps in a room because these numbers are lucky
I also have to touch things like my food twice with each hand before i eat it
If i look at the clock and if the it is anything with a thirteen in it i have to stare at the clock and only blink twice until the unlucky minute has passed, like if it is 5:13 when i see the clock in need to stare at it till it is 5:14
when i wake up i always need to put my right foot down first
i have to arrange my pillows in a certain order before i can sleep
i have to make sure my right and left half is "equal", if i touch something with my left hand, i have to touch it with my right
if i touch anything with my knee down i have to count to 22InMyHead

I have been on a super low carb diet for about 3 weeks now, and I have lost a significant amount of weight so far. The problem is I dont eat all that much meat, so I'm left with salad and cheese. Does anyone know of some semi low carb snacks or items I could incorporate into my diet.

The dentist started a root canal today, didn't hurt at all, however headache still there. Shouldn't the headaches have stopped once she started the root canal??? Also have neck ache, wondering if it was this all along causing the headaches not the tooth. Can a neck ache cause tingling on the scalp?

I have posted a question earlier on stretching. Well, since I have been stretching for awhile now I am looking for some variety. Can anyone refer me to a great book on stretching which has hundreds (or at least alot) of stretching exercises for each area and also has clear instructions on executing each one.

Thanks.

I'm just wondering, I see conflicting articles everywhere on the net. My aunt leads a normal life, but was just diagnosed a few years ago after however long she actually had it. My boyfriends mother was diagnosed in '96, after years of being mislead by unqualified doctors (her husband is even a doctor).
