How can we treat our son (19yr old who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia a year ago and was treated and hospitalized at the hospital for 2 months and still under treatment and medical care and supervision) with our attitude and behavior as parents? He is so uninterested to do anything and he is an artist as well.

I got braces back in March and was told that there is 60% chance I would not have to pull teeth. This was due to my using the technology Damon3. I had chosen this orthodontist because she had made this "promise."
However, now it has been 9 month, she tells me that I will have to pull out four teeth, my bicuspids to be exact. This is to provide for room because my bottom teeth are too crowded. But since there are no room, my lips has started to jut out a little. Therefore, it is to bring my teeth back in... so my profile isn't so weird or outward.
I apparently also have a slight bite problem, in that my upper teeth are obviously not 30% over my lower teeth.

I was just wondering, would it be good idea to pull my teeth? (I am relatively older-21)
I have heard from some people that if I pull my teeth it could mess up my whole jaw or that I could lose teeth easier when I get older. Plus I do not understand why I cannot just pull the bottom because that is where the crowding is. HELP

I have tried to hold down a full time job despite my illnesses and did so for about two years but my Fibromyalgia, Anemia and Depression would flare up really badly. Despite my employers being happy with my work, I would have to leave these jobs. So I tried working part time for a while and I did better and did not have so many episodes of depression and Fibro flares.Unfortunately, the money was not that great so now I'm working full time again. However, five months into my new full time job, despite Wellbutrin and meds for my Fibromyalgia, I had one of the worst depressive episodes I have ever experienced and my Fibromyalgia and Anemia flared up so badly that I still have not recovered completely.Since this keeps happening to me I am wondering if I should stick with part time work? . We need the money a full time income would provide but I'm wondering will I end up sacrificing my sanity and health in the long run. Anyone else out there who has/ is going through the same thing?

My husband thinks he's coming down with a flu which would mean our son is already exposed. Should I forget about giving him the flu shot? His doctor kept pushing it lst week and I had turned it down. Any advice?? How long does it take for the flu shot to take effect?

To move my lower jaw forward 4mm will cost me $15,300 in sugeon fees and $10,000 in hospital sugery fees i am at a loss. I have had my braces on for almost 3 years now and am just now being told I need this sugery. I am a full time student going into the dentistry field, hence I need this done. Insurance won't pay because they say it's pre-existing so I'm looking for more options. I am very scared to go abroad but am willing to consider the most credited, reputable, experienced Dr. I can find. I know here there is American Board Certified Dr.'s, but what kind of accredited Dr.'s would I look for in maybe Mexico? Any info or referals would help.
Thanks,
Misty

I'm not depressed, but I just haven't been hungry for say the past week or so. I didn't even eat much at Christmas. I think i've lost about 5 pounds, and it is starting to worry me. I have to really force myself to eat. Any ideas? I'm taking all my vitamins, my iron, etc. so I know that is all up to par. Thanks!

I've been on anti-depressents for 5 years, and lately ive been using the nicotine patch to quit smoking. I'm not sure which one gives me the super vivid dreams but they are literally like movies, i wish I could remember them it would make a great book. However, no matter how much I sleep I'm never rested, I can sleep 5 hours or 12 hours and I just as tired either way. I don't know if its that my brain isn't turning off or something else is going on.

My aunt who is a wondeful person has had skin cancer and breast cancer, has now been told that she has bone cancer. This explains why her bones keep breaking and now totally healing. I know that there is not a cute for this. How long does she have to live? Is there any type of treatments that can help? She has 3 kids, 6 brothers and sisters, and her mother is still alive. All of them would be deeply affected by her loss. I feel horrible about it. Especially since we recieved the news right after Christmas. What can I do to show support to her and my father (her brother)?

This doesn't really have anything to do with anything, but it's something I've always been curious about. You know how you have to fast for a certain number of hours before surgery (because of the anesthesia)? Well, what if a person has to have emergency surgery and they just ate before it? What happens?

I need some kind of substance to clean the blades of my shaving razor. I have experimented over the past few months, and when my razor head gets about 2 months old, my acne REALLY gets bad. But after 3 months, and I get a new razor, my skin clears up. So, I've figured out that it must be the razor head and how dirty it is. I do rinse it with water after every stroke. I don't do anything different, and I use the same shaving cream and all that.
