I have SEVERELY dry and cracked lips, they have been this way for a few years and I've tried like every kind of chapstick and lip balm out there. (no, I don't lick my lips either) It gets worse in the winter, but it's kind of painful and really annoying.

Why are my lips like this, and what can I do about it?

No matter what brand of bcp I take, Ortho-cyclens, Yasmin, Nordette, Lo-Ovral and Lo-Estrin (yes, I think I have tried them all), I get awful side effects. Either I get skin discoloration on my face, or acne, or facial hair, or nausea... I hate it. Same with the depo provera shot. But then, if I go off of the pill, I get horrendous cramps and bloating and all that drama. I feel like I will have to be on the pill forever, and look like a circus freak all my life :( Is there any other solution, or am I doomed either way?

I have a 14 month old little girl. My wife and I have noticed that when we give her a sippy cup or allow her to use a straw to drink one of our drinks (water, juice) she just gulps it down. We can give her 8oz of milk at dinner and she will drink 1/3 of it without stopping.

My wife told some friends at work about this and they said that they had heard being overly thirsty could be a sign of diabetes. What are other things we could look for? She is an extremely happy toddler....laughes all the time, great sleeper two 1.5 hour naps each day and usually sleeps from 8pm until 8:30am.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.....

and it looked pretty bad, so I took her to the ER. They told me it was most likely broken. After the xrays, they didn't really know. They said it didn't look broken, but there was a dent in the bone. So they put a half cast/half splint on her and told me to take her to the orthopedic doctor. When they gave me my release papers they wrote it up as a contusion, which is a bruise on the soft tissue. So which is it? My problem is that it's going to be 4 or 5 days before the orthopedic can see her and I don't think she needs this stupid splint on. She hates it and begs for me to take it off. She hasn't been crying with pain only just wants the splint off. What would you do?

I once heard a radio program on radio 4, which discussed the Experiences of Mohamed in the desert, when he spoke to the Angel Gabriel.
Mohammed was described as undergoing a trance like state where he started to sweat profusely and started to rock to and fro(as muslims practise today while they pray), he then started hearing the voice of either Allah or the angel Gabriel.
This obviously sounded like the symtoms of schizophrenia, since at that time I was working as a community mental heath assistant, caring for people who suffer from schizophrenia.
A large percentage of people who suffer from Schizophrenia have religious based phychosis, and delusions, believing they can talk to god.
Do you not believe that it could be a possiblility that Mohammed could have been Schiznophrenic due to the simple fact that it could not be diagosed as an illness but was seen by the people of that time as a characteristic of a prophet.
Therefore one mans delusion has become a world wide illusion.

With birth control pills, specifically Yasmin, do I need to take the white pills the last week? Or are they just a placebo to keep my habit of taking them daily?
