I am 15 years old 16 in a month, and until I was about 12 or 13. I had clear skin I remember thinking when I was little my skin is so clear it couldn't break out! But I was wrong after 3 years of dealing with this and it just gets worse and no improvment I don't know what to do I've tried just about everything, Clean and Clear several products, mary kay products, soap, and many other things I've been trying Proactive for a while now and seen very little results and its been atleast 6 weeks of every day and then a copuple months of every other day before that I will try anything but I don't have alot of money.. I just want clear skin.. please,

I've had chicken pox virus as a youngster and am apparently immune. I believe my work colleague also has had it. However, at the moment my kid is infected and this colleague is avoiding me. His partner is pregnant and he's worried about the complications to his unborn kid if she were to catch it.

I've read that transmission is airborne, sometimes by contact with the sores. Any virus physically hanging out on my skin likely doesn't live long, certainly not longer than the 30 minute walk to work.

I am almost entirely certain that no real risk exists to my colleague. Are there reputable internet sources to direct him to for peace of mind?

natural ones, on how to alleviate that-I mean there are pears and there are apples and my body type is that of an apple, just like my mom's-so guess it's genetic, but as I get older my belly has a bloated look-it's very uncomfortable and unhealthy-what can I do? I eat conscientiously-fish, fruits/veg, no junk foods. Any advice as to how to specifically bring down the belly fat-and yes, my body is flooded with cortisol and I had abdminal surgery and my incision exascerbates it, so that adds to the mix

Recently I started seeing a pain specialist. He added Methadone to my prescriptions. I take pain meds, muscle relaxers,nerve meds,sleeping meds, high bp meds,siezure meds.and meds for anxiety/depression. I have many neurological problems such as Degenerative Disc Dis., Degenerative Joint Dis., Spinal Stenosis, Spurs in the cervical,thoracic.lumbar and sacral regions, Severe Encroachment of the lumbar/sacral for. Cauda Equina Syndrome, I also have meniscus tears in both knees ,bursitis in my rt hip, . Along with that Ihave Fibro Myalgia, Migraines, Epilepsy and High Blood Pressure. I dont like the fact that some people automaticly think Methadone is only for dope heads, junkies and the like. PLEASE help me educate the world about other uses for METHADONE !!!! I feel as if my family and friends think of me differently because I am taking Methadone. I take my medications as they are prescribed because without them I would have absolutely NO QUALITY OF LIFE. EDUCATE MY LOVED ONES!!!!!

I was playing basketball and as I was doing a crossover, I bent my ankle and stepped with it in that position. The muscles around my ankle hurt but I dont think anything is broken or torn... there was no swelling or brusing. Is it serious

Especially the common cold. It's what we eat. Wake up people. Our original diet consisted of fruit and every herb bearing seed. If you go back to it, disease CANT exist in your body!! Common sense!! 99% of what we eat is garbage and unfit for human consumption. Think about it. Does everyone want to be sick? Is it "cool?" You dont need a PhD to have common sense. I swear people believe anything they see on TV or hear from a doctor. Nothing is immortal..not even viruses and cancer.

i had a girl friend that left with out a trace after a year and i have beev hartbroken for the last 8 months. i thought i would be with her forever.

as for my kitty i had him sience i was 5 and i am not 20. i went to college and he ran away from the place i sent him to. it was not ust to little kids so he ran to get away from my cousins daughter who is 3. by the time i got home sevreal months ago i figure he was dead so i did not try to look for him but i miss him.

if i ever think about both at the same time the pain from losing my kitty is much worse. is this normal?

is it normal to realize how much you messed up with the way you trested your pet? i did not pay as much attention as i should have as i got older.

My nose is constantly running (it just started yesterday) I need a way to get it to stop or a way to speed up the process. I have bronchitis and ear and throat infections.

I have tried to blow it out, stuffed kleenex up my nostrils (and they are soaked 5 mins later) I need a way to get by during the day without constantly blowing my nose.

This problem has just started yesterday, and I haven't been able to sleep in a very long time due to this. Sorry for being so gross, but I really need some advice. Its constantly running, and it is very clear when it comes out. Can anyone give me any advice?!?!

(It is not allergies)

Does it hurt? How long does the pain go away? How does it affect the way you talk everything about piercing your tounge.

I'm 19 yrs old. Tonight i laid down to go to bed and I was on my right side and I felt a sharp pain go right under my breast. So, I laid still for like a minute then I moved to my back. The pain didn't stop for like 5 mins contuniously. And now, I took a hot bath to relax my body and now just sitting still or moving is triggering the pain. This happens like once a month but the pain only lasts for seconds...a lil background: I went to my female doc. last tuesday. She gave me a shot and said within 10 days I should have a period-the shot ups my hormone levels really high..if not more than likely I'm preg. -I have endometriosis. Is this a cause of the shot? What could it be? Should I go see a doc? I don't live with my mom but she's a RN & she said its just muscle & to put a heatin pad on it...just typing this is triggering the pain.

If somone had never heard of either Cannabis or Sugar/fats/oils before in their life, and I showed them a highly accurate and detailed report of both substances how many people do you think would say bad food is way worse for you than cannabis??

I think the numbers would be overwhelmingly in favor of cannabis being better for you... Please keep in mind though the diffrence between abuse and use.

Let me clear up some Stuff as well. Sugar less addictive than weed? thats hard to belive, less than 1% of cannabis users develope a physical or mental addiction to Marijuana. While i don't have statistics for sugar i can allmost garentee more kids/adults these days are addictied to sugar far more than they are to weed.

I am a person who has done MDMA(Ecstasy) meth, weed, coke, lsd, shrooms, dmt, alcohol, tabbaco, and i can honestly say giving up bad foods was the 1 thing i cannot do. And not im not obese or eat a TON its just i need them, its serously the only thing ive een addicted too.
