Health - 3 December 2006

I have severe pitting, gum recession and enamel damage on my teeth due to heavy & hard brushing techniquine from when I was alot younger. My dentist has now informed me the time has come to pull all my teeth & get dentures. I'd love implants but way too expensive! He won't speak of Veneers. Anything "special" I should request? I am gonna get a cheap set made at a local clinic then a better set from my dentist. Can they make my final set as "white & pretty" as I want them? I am SEVERELY terrified of dentists & I dread this more than anything in the world. Any suggestions? Please help, I am desperate & welcome any advice.

I have severe IBS, I have diarrhea almost every day. I always seem to get it during car rides, maybe because of nerves. I don't dare to leave the house, even to go to the grocery store! I don't want to have an accident in public. How can you live a normal life with chronic, uncontrollable diarrhea?

A friend of mine burned her plastic microwave door which was located above the stove. It was the way her apartment was set up. There was smoke all over the room from the burning plastic. Is this plastic poisonous? If so, is there a good way to get rid of the poison in the air?

I'm sure it isn't as harmful as the over the counter packs with added chemicals to ensure your addiction, but is there any evidence out there about just how harmful sage, wild, or home grown may be?

A man gets into the women toilet when there are no women, squat on a urinal and masturbate until he ejaculates. After that he sees around to make sure if there is no woman entering and escape the women toilet. What is the problems with that man?Does he have problems with his brain?

You would think the things that are the best for us would be the things that taste better, so we will eat it.

I don't know if this question is naive or not.

I am a guy. When I ejaculate, that means I had an orgasm right?
So when a woman ejaculates, that means she she had an orgasm too, right? That's my question.

And if I am correct in my assumptions, 99% of women out there lie when they say they have never orgasmed. If they have never orgasmed, then how do they get pregnant? Just doesn't make sense. They are getting pregnant because they orgasmed/ejaculated.

I get the pain in my stomach and it shoots through to my back. I start to throw up and it doesn't stop (it can go on for at least one week). I have lost between 20-30 lbs. The doctor has run all kinds of test endoscopy, colonoscopy, upper GI , checked the pancreas, liver. The test are all good. They just cant explain this vomitting and pain. Has anyone else experienced this? & how was it treated?
