Health - 26 December 2006

I'm an author who has extensively searched the internet looking for a site that will answer a couple questions about gunshot wounds for me, but I haven't been successful. So my first question would be if anyone has any good, generalized sites that might discuss the various effects of different wounds and what their treatment and recovery times would be. If not, does anyone happen to know? I don't want the character to have too many lasting effects, but need to know general things like if the bullet would need removed or if it would pass through, what kind of surgeries might be required, what the implications of such a wound would be, and recovery times. Any other information that might help make the scene more realistic would be greatly appreciated!

I am NOT on birth control or even sexually active [I haven't been for two years now]. It had a smell as well but not overly so...just not normal. I'm supposed to start my period soon and I'm concerned about this. ANY insight will be appreciated. Thanks.

took a combination of drugs on the hope that you would feel normal? (for instance 3 klonopin and 2 blunts) I feel ok but delayed action time is a *****. Don't think I have any typos though).

Ok my father has type 1 diabetes and psoriasis very badly on his back, head, and underarms. He was taking some kind of diabetic Medication called Avandia 8mg., we believe thats what it was called. He has switched doctors and the one he has now wont prescribe him that medication because it is not yet proven to help with psoriasis. But I have took it before and it made my psoriasis go away pretty much completly. Do you know of any kind of medication that is proven to work for severe psoriasis. I would prefer a site that has Avandia for a decent price. Also has anyone else tried this medication or know anyone that has, if so what was the results/side affects. Serious answers only please!
Also if possible do you know of a site that takes medicaid insurance located in Bristol Virginia for Avandia or any other medication that is proven to cure psoriasis.

I hear EVERYONE say, "eat breakfast. you won't get hungry later on in the day" etc.

I don't understand the specifics of this.

ALSO, I've heard that not eating breakfast means that you can't burn as many calories and/or that it doesn't let your metabolism work right?! That makes no sense. why can't I just eat later on in the day and THEN exercise??

That whole thing just doesn't make sense..

I feel the side effects of antidepressants change my personality/who I am. They make me extremely hyperactive, irritable, agitated, and less sensitive to other people's feelings because I am emotionally numb like a robot. I am not like this off the meds but need to take them for anxiety. I am especially having a problem with the hyperactivity and agitation. Does anybody else feel antidepressants have changed who you are/changed your personality? It feels like I am a different person on and off the meds and this concerns me especially since I'm in the dating scene and I want to be certain the real me is showing on dates.
