I need to use the rest of my healthcare spending account and my dr.'s office was closed all last week. Can I go to a place like Lenscrafters and would they be able to determine my Rx by looking at my glasses?

I suffer from this problem as well and I HATE IT!!! I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to prevent or lessen the diarrhea during that time of the month. Do you eat certain foods and avoid other foods? Medications? Herbs? I feel like I can't function for 3 or 4 days a month because of this problem. I appreciate any help that anyone can suggest. (I have an appt with my OB/GYN on January 11)

It's like when someone shines a light in your eye and then takes it away. Its getting really annoying now too. I almost fell over yesterday. I have an appointment with a neuroligist to figure out the tingling in my right shoulder. Any ideas of what this might be?

I got the patch (I tried it once before, and it didn't work, but I'm trying again.), and I'm already planning for various things I'm going to do in place of smoking, like taking a walk throughout the day when I get a craving, having something I can stick in my mouth (like a pen or something similar), I'm going to be buying carrot sticks to munch on, and after I eat, I'm going to brush my teeth.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I'd especially like to hear success stories.
Thanks!

I have a friend who can drive me nuts when she is manicky. I have a father who is very old and very ill and I don't want to have to turn my phone off in case something happens with him. This friend keeps calling me and keeping me on the phone for hours on end I try to set limits but it just doesn't work. She will ask the same question over and over. Untill I answer the way she wants then sometimes she'll ask why I changed my mind! I want to show her that I will be her friend but sometimes it's very hard.Everyone else has thrown up their hands and given up. I don't want to change my phone number for family reasons.I sometimes turn off the ringer on my phone to avoid her. She'll call every 5 minutes all night long! This is after keeping me on the phone for 2 or 3 hours. I kid you not most times she'll call in less than 5 minutes She is on medications but the med.'s don't help. Are there some Bipolors that can't be helped threw medications?I need help myself! She's driving me insane.

Ok i asked this question yesterday and got some good replies, see link above for more info. Should have been a little more descriptive though. The reason I asked this is because I am considering putting her on birth control pills to help control her mood swings. She is on medication for bipolar but they seem to do nothing for her pms related mood swings. She is only 12 yrs old which is another reason for asking. If the doc thinks the pill would be a good choice for her and she has to have the exam done, I would be taking her and be in the room with her when it is done, I'm not letting anyone do anything to my girl without someone there with her, understand? I know how uptight our society is and everyones first thoughts are that the mother should be doing this, not dad, but I handle all the doctor appointments and taking care of her when she's sick so it's no big deal to me. Thanks.

This really makes me mad. I've always been an active person. Now, everything hurts! In the mornings I feel like I've been hit by a truck. at night I can't sleep because of body pain. If I sit too long, it hurts to get up and move around, like I've frozen. I can't throw a football to my son anymore. I can't reach to wash my back anymore. Working in the yard is painful after a few minutes, as is standing, sitting, walking...even typing, my hands hurt. All labs have been normal, including RA, Lupus, Hep C, and about 20 other ones, plus xrays. The doctors "don't know" what's causing the pain, like it's some big mystery. Waaah! What's happening to me? I know, I sound like a big baby, but this sucks.

I'm on a weight loss mission in 2007, and I'm hoping to lose 115 pounds.

I am hoping against hope that I won't have to have a ton of plastic surgery to achieve the kind of body I want, and I am desperately afraid of being put under general anesthesia.

Has anyone had both a breast lift or reduction and a tummy tuck at the same time under local anesthesia and sedation?

Also, how long did it take you to recover from the surgery? How long did you need to have someone at your home to help you?

My bf and I just got through having sex. I was on top and when he came I went to take the condom off but I noticed that the condom was not as full as normal and it looked like some of the ejaculate had somehow leaked onto the base of his penis... Is this a big chance of me getting pregnant?

I've watched the Biggest Loser for about three years. I'm planning on losing about 115 pounds in 2007, and I'm wondering what I can do to minimize loose skin.

Some of the contestants on the show lost WAY more than that, and they seem to have no loose skin!

I've hired a trainer who promises to exhaust me, but I keep hearing over and over again that I'll have to have plastic surgery for the skin. That's so expensive, not to mention painful.

Does anybody know a way to minimize the skin probelm after weight loss?
