Health - 15 December 2006

My two front teeth are quite weak because they took ages to come down after the baby teeth, which means they are kinda yellow at the bottom too (I'm gonna have them whitened when I'm 18 after I've had my braces taken off)
Only problem is I also have lots of small little chips on them as a result of the slight weakness (and I used to bite tops of bottles :P) So I have lots of little chips that make the teeth look uneven, I went to the dentist for a regular check about a year ago and told him and he started to "grind them down" only problem was he made them look WORSE and said that they looked fine now that there were two chips on them in the same place... LOL - I want teeth with no chips!

So I'm 15 right now and I'm kinda scared about what to do about these chips in my two front teeth because I don't want them to be grinded down so much that they are really short and stupid and I don't want them to be ruined completely by bad dentistry work! What should I do? (No websites plz)

The problem is with the skin on my face. I rarely get spots. Maybe 2 or 3 a year, just before my period. My skin can also be quite dry, especially in the winter. Recently it has been exceptionally dry, even though I moisturise twice or three times a day. Recently I've had alternating patches of red spots on my face. Sometimes they're on my chin, other times on my cheek and sometimes my forehead. They fade through the day but new ones appear the next day. Any idea what this could be? Thanks

My symptoms include twitching and "painful cramps" in my legs and arms. Cramps that are, at times, so painful I either can't go to sleep at night or I can't stay asleep at night.

They are only 1 miliwhat. They will dazel if shone into the eye but is the power too low to burn the retina. Also I notitice the beam speads out to about 10mm diameter at 15 feet so the beam is much wider than the iris of the eye which reduces the light in the eye as well. The fact that they are sold even to children seems to sugest they are safe

Ok I haven't engaged in any sexual activity at all in my life... but I have these bumps around the base of my penis head... I've had these for months now and I just shrugged it off as nothing. But in the last couple days the spot at the end of my tailbone, right above my anus has began to itch like crazy... so much that it hurts and I almost cry... I've tried to look in the mirror and I can see swollen red bumps. Today my testicles and penis have began to itch and burn... as well as my actual anus... all the while the spot on my tailbone is becoming worse and worse. It's maddening... I can barely take it... I feel like killing myself to end the pain. My scalp is beginning to itch as well as my eyes, and various other parts of my body. I'm afraid of what's happening to me, and there's no way to go to the doctor... It's 3:30 am here right now and I live in a small town. The doctor is closed over the weekend. The closest hospital is almost 2 hours away... and I have no way to get there...

I am not referring to the trigger of the attacks but rather things in a persons past experience that would cause someone to develop the condition later in life.

I'm 19 years old indian boy. My height is 164 cm. and weight 48 kg.
My skeletal growth is not as much as a 19 years old boy should have.
The reason is because of improper nutrition in my 15-18 years age period because of economical problems in my family
but now it is ok and I'm taking good nutrition.
Even though I feel embarassed because my skull growth is very less and it looks smaller than my friends.
My father's height is about 1 inch more than me.
Is there any method so that I can grow more especially my face/skull.
Any suggestion or method?
If you suggest to go for a doctor then what will he recommend?

two of my cousins have been caught selling controlled substances such as ambien and lortab. My first cousin was in his 5yr of pharmacy college and was caught in his dorm room with it. And my second cousin sold it to his friends on highschool property. What is the point, is it really worth a felony?

I am planning to get the Complex knee ligament reconstruction and stabilisation in India. I have been tired of trying to get it in the NHS. The cost is supposed to be very low in India and I have heard the Hospitals are good.

Every time I swallow or yawn my ears make sounds like a bone cracking. I don't feel any fullness in the ear and there's no pain and they don't feel like I need to pop them... in fact its just the same as normal and my hearing's fine but this cracking is driving me crazy. I try to pop them by holding my nose and blowing but they are impossible to pop all the way and after a lot of hard work they just click and go all echoey... the sound like when you need to pop your ears!! They will never go any further. The doctor gave me Sudafed decongestents and they don't seem to work. I have also had tinnitus for a year but I don't know if this is related as I suffered from that long before I heard this cracking noise. If anyone has any answers thatt would be great thank you.

I went down with a nasty sore throat in the early hrs of Thurs morning - forced myself to drive 130 miles for a meeting, but once there went green and sweaty and passed out cold. My throat has virtually closed up and is so painful that I haven't eaten or drunk anything since Thurs - I can't seem to swallow properly. My glands are visibly swollen, I had a high temperature during Thurs (thats gone down now) and I have deep throbbing pain in my joints.
I dragged myself to the GP yesterday - he looked at my throat for a long time and said the white lesions were typical of oral thrush. After checking my blood sugar he sent me away with a single dose of Fluconazole 150mg, plus some Nystatin drops.
I sceptically asked if oral thrush was supposed to make you feel this ill, and he just shrugged. I'm taking paracetemol with dihydracodeine every 4 hrs, but apart from easing some of the pain in my neck and joints, I feel no better.

I LOVE butter and white bread. I actually wrap a slice of white bread around a stick of butter and just eat it like that. I love everything with carbs, like white bread, white rice, I LOVE carbs. I hate fruits and vegetables and crud like that, but I haven't felt very good lately, really tired and disoriented. I weigh about 110, I actually LOST weight. I don't know how to keep it on and I don't like eating most healthy foods. What can I do to pack on the pounds and without eating like, fruits and vegetables and stuff like that? I want to feel healthy too while doing it.
