Health - 12 December 2006

I am 16 and my teeth are really bad. My mom doesn't work because there are 5 of us kids and my dad is a minister who works at a ministry that doesn't provide health insurance. I am desperate for braces but of course I don't have the money! Does an body know of an organization or something that can help financially?

Is this the amount of calories a normal person should be eating everyday? Should I be eating only 2000 calories a day?

I'm a 40 yr old female. I have madalungs deformity and had bones removed from a foot because of osteomylitis. A few years ago the pain spread to other spots. I saw a rheumatologist who did x-rays and bone scans. They showed some osteoarthritis, a bit of degenerative spinal disease, arthritis in various points, abnormal wear in one hip, bone chips in one knee (both knees have arthritis) calcification in one shoulder etc. The list is long. The rhuematolist said it's nothing autoimmune and go back to my doctor. I don't have a family doctor. I'm in Canada and they aren't available. I'm living on tylenol 1's (over the counter - around 8 a day) because I have no choice. I go to the walk in clinic for meds and there they act like I'm an addict. I live in pain, sometimes unbearable, but the doctors attitude now has me afraid to take ANYTHING. I had a doctor there look at my test results once and his response was "Oh that stuff is nothing." I can't live in pain forever. Any ideas?

I know I'll hear.."go to the doctor" from alot of you, but honestly, you're cheaper :] I have tingling in my left hand, only in my last 3 fingers and only when I am using that hand or if I hold it straight up. Laying it flat, it goes away. It's sort of a numb feeling, but almost like it is when you hit your funny bone. It really is starting to get on my nerves..which is prob. exactly what it is, a nerve. Any docs. or really smart people who have seen this or heard of it out there that can give me some idea what's wrong?? Thank you so much!

I never used to cough as much as I do now. Around this time last year I got a cold and had it for several weeks, maybe even a few months; I'm not sure how long it lasted. Eventually the cold went away, and the cough did too, a little. But then I started to notice something. Whenever I laughed, I coughed. When I went into little giggle-fits, they'd end in coughing fits. To this day, when I laugh more than a little, I always cough. It also happens when I cry, but not as much. Also, I have exercise-induced asthma, which means that I wheeze, cough, and have difficulty breathing whenever I exercise a little more than usual (usually resulting from running/sprinting in soccer/cross country/softball). After every time I exercise to a certain extent, I always end up coughing for about an hour after I finish. I told my doctor about the exercise part of it and she prescribed me with an inhaler to take before I exercise. I've only used it twice and it has worked for the wheezing and stuff, but not

I'm a african american.As you already know, we're known for our (urrr)assets. I'm trying to gain weight in the booty area because I'm trying to be a big butt model.I have a shoot scheduled in 2 weeks and I need my butt to be plumper. I got the face, the slim waist and I have a fairly bubbly booty, but out there in the industry fairly big isn't big enough because you need a stand out booty...like buffie the body. If anyone could give me any food tips to help me gain weight it would be nice.
And could you be specific....Please don't say " eats lots and lots of junk food and sit on your ***" cause I've tried it already. And please don't say don't squats and lunges because I've tried that too...the results are minimal and the only thing that happens is it gives a quick booty lift. If anyone knows anything thats worked for them( and I mean REALLY worked) please help, I'm low on time!!!

Both of my two oldest sons' hands are so dry they are cracking and have places that look like carpet burns. They've tried all sorts of lotions, neosporin, etc. Last night I had them put diaper rash medicine on it (zinc). It seemed to help one son's hands some but not the other one's. Any ideas? When I was their age my hand would get really dry and crack but nothing like theirs are doing.

I keep quite a lot of palpitations and chest pain on the right side which is sometimes also on my right arm.. is there any way at all this could be related to the heart? I had a doctor listen to my heart twice 2 years ago.. the first time brought out a murmer and I had a chest x ray(which was okay).. the second time it wasn’t there.. so she just shrugged it off as a inocent murmer…. Which means really.. there is still a 50% chance that its not innocent.. ( my aunt does have one ).. I do have anxiety but a lot of the time Im completely relaxed when the palpitations occur – and the pain is usually when im in bed so im not excersizing…. Im slim weight, don’t drink/smoke, but do eat a *LOT* of salty and fatty foods.
My resting relaxed heart rate is on average - 77bpm

Any ideas?

Can you tell im a bit of a hypocodriac!?!!?!

Oh and also im 17... and my grandad has strokes, as well as my aunts murmer - heart problems could be in the family...

(sorry!)

My son can not stop vomiting. for three days he has not been able to hold down anything. He is off chemotherapy. His counts have returned to normal. I took him in today for fluids, they said it would stop the vomiting. It has not. His cheeks are hollow. I'm so scared! I'm trying to start him on a diet that will remove the toxins from his body, along with the cancer.

I am very conscious of washing and showering daily and all that stuff, so it isn't anything that i'm neglecting. But for some reason it has a funk, and I also sweat a lot. Like, my crack is soaked sometimes and it's not like i'm running a marathon. What can I do to stop this? Also, I don't want to put a ton of powder down there and make my private areas look like an infant when i'm with a lady.
