Health - 18 December 2006

I have a lg fear of needles. I've managed to deal w/ it every time it came of having blood drawn, etc. Having 2 kids, it's not something I considered optional.

I've been lucky to go through my teen & adult years (this far - I'm 28) w/o any cavities - until now. While, like the tests & things I had to have done during pregnancy, I don't consider this optional either. My problem is that my fear of needles sends me straight into an anxiety attack. I went in for my appt today & while I was nervous, I told myself I was going to stick it out. It didn't happen. As soon as the asst. put the topical in my mouth to numb the gums, I lost it. I started gagging on saliva & the topical, got sick to my stomach and got really dizzy. After the dentist found out about it she sent me home w/ a new appt & a prescription for 12 mg of Vallium to take an hour before hand. Honestly, I don't know how Vallium's going to fix this! I was just wondering if anyone had any similiar experiences or tips.

Because I see answers everywhere saying that yes, walking will make your legs thinner, and then I see other answers saying yes, walking builds muscle and will make them shapely. Which one is true?

My fiance recently underwent a colonoscopy and the prior preparation required her to "clean out her system". Would flushing the body in this way be a healthy thing to do on a regular basis? She honestly lost nearly 9lbs in the ummm......flushing process.

I heard that if only your nipples are sensitive it's most likely pms, but if your whole breast feels tender, then it might be a sign of pregnancy. Can anyone confirm that?

It's a term you hear often when you are disabled but instead of Normal should it be common.
