I dont know if its necessarily a cold, maybe a sinus infection, but something, but my sinuses are stopped up, my nose is running, i have a cough and sneeze, and every time this happens to me (usually every winter) my teeth really hurt. Whats the reason for this?

Last year, I benched about 125 lbs of weight, curled about 30 lbs dumbbells, and ran in a 7:00 avg per mile. I weighed about 168-174 lbs then. Now, i have been working out for a month and half and started again. Because of my muscle meomory, I got back in shape in 3 weeks. I bench more then ever now ( about 150 lbs), curl 32.5's, and still run 7 minute miles. However, I have not lost any weight ( i am 204 lbs now and i was the same when i first started...freshmen 25 from college) I know my stuff about dieting ( I've been eating pretty healthy) and I am using the cardio/lfiting method where i slowly gain muscle while burning fat. I AM JUST SO FRUSTRATED because i still feel about three chunkfuls of fat in my stomach. I know that muscles are heavier than fat, and i need time for my body to adjust to a faster metobilism, but does anyone know any tricks to lose weight faster?

I've been diagnosed w/ ADD, and my doctor prescribed me antidepressants last week. The truth is, could I have one and not the other? Or even neither?
I've always had extreme problems with focusing on things that bored me, keeping a steady train of thought, and generally get addicted to things that I enjoy. (Books, videogames, tv shows, whatever. I say addicted as in I'll spend a lot of time doing these things, but not to the point where it takes over my life or anything bad like that.) Since high school started, I've been heartbroken, have developed slight philophobia due to this, and I'm often depressed. I'm also finding it harder to socialize, and my grades are falling from my inability to focus and my constant thoughts of the past, regrets, etc.
So, can anybody help me? Is it really neccessary to take medication, and do I even have any of these things? I've taken online ADD and depression tests, and both say I am high at risk for these problems.

My axillary(underarm) and cervical(side of neck) lymph nodes are swollen on just the left side they are really sore and tender. It hurts to move my arm around and rotate it. I'm not feeling really bad. I have somewhat of a stuffy nose but no sore throat or anything else....This is been hurting since this morning. Any reasons why they would swell like that and only on the one side?

Also I've had a horrid headache all day.
But that's not too uncommon I get bad headaches every so often. I'm on inderal for that.

I moved here about three years ago and had to find a new dentist. I have never had a lot of trouble with my teeth until now. I have always gone to the dentist regularly. When I started going to him, he told me that I needed 3 root canals and crowns. I trusted him and let him do it. I have been told by others, since then, he should have sent me somewhere else to have that kind of work done. All three teeth that he worked on have gotten infected, one broke off at the gumline. He said the root canals "didn't take" - "broke up". I am beginning to wonder if I really needed that kind of work done anyway. My question is, do you think I probably just had a bad dentist? OR (just another thought I had, it's far fetched but......) Is there a chance that my body is rejecting whatever the material is that they used to do the work? Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I am so embarrassed.

I'm 19yr's old, 5'0, and 145lb's. My goal weight is 110lb's.

I'm not asking how often, but how long every day. 30 minutes+?

If say I did run every day for that ideal amount of time, will it really work to lose weight?

Does anyone have a good meal plan to help with this? What to eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner?

Powerade vs Gaterade? Why?

And I don't gain weight easily...I eat quite a bit of unhealthy foods, and have for a while, and I've been waving around 145lb's for over a year. I never exercise and do practically nothing every day.(I know, sad) Does this mean if I actually do something, it should be easy to lose that weight?

What I am trying to do is get rid of this potbelly. It's horrible. Will running reduce the size of it?

What will happen to all that skin if I do lose the weight?

I cried when I found out he'd been hiding it from me. He said he knew I would freak out about it so he didnt want me to know. And he hides it from his parents too. Stuff like that scares me since I grew up around a man who hid drugs from me. Was my boyfriend right in what he did? Or am I right? Is it safe for him to be taking caffeine pills, creatine, muscle pills, and powders like this?

This is not a joke, and sarcastic answers are not appreciated, but there is a clinical drug that literally makes you sick when you drink alcohol so alcoholics dont want to drink anymore. What kind of drugs are available like that? I do believe they are over the counter.

I have commenced an unsuccessful New Year's fitness campaign. I was doing some sit ups the other night and pulled muscle in my lower back. After a trip to the hospital the doc gave me muscle relaxants, anti imflamatories and heavy duty pain killers. I am seeing a physio but also looking for some natural healing advice as all these drugs may be helping with the pain, but I would rather try something else. Any ideas would be great!!

What happens is that when I'm laying next to my girlfriend and I'm laying on my elbow on the couch at like a 90 degree angle. And then all of a sudden, pain shoots up my arm and my elbow locks. It really *ucking hurts. Then I know that I have to bend it to get it undone and when I do, it just goes "CRACK" or it sounds like knuckles cracking except for its a deeper crack and it's like 20 times louder.

Yeah, maybe I should see a doctor or something. Help Please!

My mother thinks that medication is not the right route for me, but I disagree. However, I would like to know if anything has helped you overcome the inability to focus. I drink coffee when I feel that I'm going to spaz out, and I think it helps. My question is that do you know of anything else that I could benefit from?

I'm a pessimist. I've experienced depression for the first time the last few months. I'm taking medication now for it. But i still am depressed, i go through bouts where i'm depressed for about a week. Then i have a day where i'm super happy and hyper. Then i go back to the way i was. Please, i need outlook tips not medication. Do you have any tips on being optimistic and getting myself out of my deep negativeness that i get into?
