I go all natural in the Winter, no make-up, no nail polish, etc. I just added a new body to my list. I'm not fat, I'm not skinny, I'm medium. Thanks to being on the step and double dutch team, I gained weight in places that wouldn't make me look over weight. I just need to know what's the best stomach excercise to do. My goal is to lose 40 pounds in five months, which is a healthy goal. Let me know.

Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Fibromyalgia, spinal spontenous, neuropathy, emergency colostomy, extreme spine/hip/leg/feet/hand pain, nerve damage from a fractured L-4&5 , degenerative osteoartheritis, vision difficulties, major depression, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and ADD. Any help for dealing with this and still remain active? I take various medicines, follow a sensible diet and do physical therapy. Recently, the pain has increased and I am having great difficulty moving around and I am trying to remain independent. I have various doctors/specialists and each tell me to rest/relax and recover and this is hard for me because all of this hit sudden and I am normally active. Any help, suggestions, recommendations are appreciated. Please be advised that I do seek therapy and I am responding and learning any and all techniques provided. I just want to be alive again or the best that I can be with the disabilities. The colostomy is the most recent with additional pain.

It just started after I got out of bed this morning. It's not acid reflux, indigestion or simple cramps, and I know it's probably not a hernia because I don't feel a bulge.

It feels more like a muscle pull/strain in my upper left abdomen. The area hurts a bit when I breathe or move. Funny thing is, I didn't do any type of exercise last night.

Is this a simple muscle pull or something else?

I did have six Heinekens before settling in for the night but I doubt that this is related. =)

What is circumcision? Is it necessary? Does it makes any difference in the sex life.

I've been taking this Pill for almost a year now. I have very low sex drive but I guess that's pretty normal with any Pill. What concerns me is the fact I've lost a lot of hair over last year or so. I know that side effects vary from woman to woman but are there many who have lost/are losing hair whilst on this Pill?
I'm just curious as it can be something else, of course, that's causing it.

I'm not worried about the pain - because i know it won't hurt much .

It's the Needle,which really scares me.
And the thought,of it going into a vein in my arm. lol. Very squeamish.

Very grateful for tips on relaxing - and staying calm.

Thankyou.

I've looked around at previous questions, and none of them seem to be able to answer my question. I am aware I need to see a doctor for a second time, since my first doctor simply stated to "include more fiber" in my diet. I am a 17 year old girl, and for the past 6-9 months, I have had an increasingly serious problem (please note that I am not sexually active). When i deficate, There is a lot of blood on the toilet tissue, and on occasion a mucus-like substance, with a similar texture to "snot." There is no pain, and defications are not large, but an average size. I tried to fix it myself via milk of magnisia, and more fiber like the doctor said, but to no avail. Since I am incredibly shy, I just need a best case scenario before I visit my doctor. I am incredibly worried. Please help.

I've had the flu for 7 days. Should it be on its way by now? Anybody know of any good remedies that helps to make you feel better? I have plans for new year and not sure whether to cancel them or not. I hope to feel better by then, has anybody had flu last longer than a week?

My question is, if there is any medical insurance plan out there that will cover accutane. If there is, about how much would you have to pay out of your pocket for the accutane? Also....does the veteran hospital have a dermatologist section? Is there any way I can get accutane thru them? Please dont write back saying i need to take this instead or reminding me about the side effects. I had take accutane before, and its the only thing that has ever worked on me. Thank you for your time....
