I've picked up the habit, but I have really nice hands (if I do say so myself!), and I don't want to hurt them in the long run.

Why do men feel like they have a right to make comments or answer questions about pregnancy or female reproductive problems when they have no clue? (I'm *not* including doctors in this question.)

I'm asking this because I was reading a question from a woman with endometriosis and there were guys answering her who *clearly* had no idea what endometriosis even was. Plus I've seen other questions from women about pregnancy and such that were also answered by men, but how could they answer when they have no idea? I, as a woman, wouldn't even try to answer questions that are male-centered, like stuff about premature ejaculation and such. So why do men do that with female issues?

Again, to repeat, in case anyone didn't pay attention before, I am NOT including male doctors in this question.

I have been smoking now for 24 years. I want to quit so bad. I woke up yesterday morning and was so disgusted with the taste in my mouth I decided I did not want it anymore. Even though I had a carton sitting right in front of me. I did so good for the whole day. I almost made the 24 hour mark. But I gave in last night to this disgusting thing that has control of me. I don't have any physical withdrawals, it is the mind. It was driving me crazy. I am also trying to lose about 40 lbs and I am afraid that if I quit I will gain more weight. So I thought that I would lose the weight first then quit. But I think killing two birds with one stone would be better. Instead of being miserable twice, why not try both at the same time.

Please does anyone have some REAL suggestions for me? Maybe something that worked for you? Thank you for your time and Happy New Year to you all.

I think I've been having panic attacks for the last three weeks. I had a bad one at work and I took a week off. But yesterday was my first day back at work and it was hard. I kept thinking I would have another one and be embarrassed. But I didn't and after work I felt sooo good about it. Then I worked today and I fought through it and I felt even better about it. It's REALLY hard but I refuse to be controlled by this.

Also, if anyone knows of any good Discussion Groups or Website on the subject, could you post it?

My husband has been out of work for a little over a year , he is on very strong pain meds and will be having back surgery. He also has an aortic aneurysm and a few other things. He has seen a medical doctor and three orto doctors who all say that he , even with surgery will not work again. He gets a small disability check thru his employer. However , when he applied for Social Security he was denied. According to the letter, although is is deemed disabled by his physicians, there team of medical professionals has determined he is not disabled. Are they telling me that 4 very fine doctors are wrong. And their team of professionals consists of nurses and physicians assistants. We now have a lawyer who says it is a waiting game. They do this to push people to give up and go back to work or hope that the terminally ill will die before they have to pay out. This is so wrong. My husband has worked 40 years and never asked for help, he has paid for this benefit many years. Any thoughts?

It's not fair!, all my friends can fit into women sizes, and I can't! I am still a kid, and everyone still calls me a kid, and all my friends pick me up and tell me I am as light as a baby, is it because I am 13 years old, 66 pounds, and 5"2?

For the past two weeks or so, I have been feeling incredibly sick at night. I know that I am not pregnant. I am fine all throughout the day, but as soon as nightime hits, I feel nausious. It is also very hard for me to eat anything. At night I almost have to force food down my throat. On top of feeling sick, I have been very dizzy and uncordinated. It is hard for me to keep balance. If anyone might have any idea what is wrong with me and why suddenly I would begin to feel this way, I would love some feedback. It use to be very bad headaches as well, but that has resided. Now it is just not feeling myself at all through the night. But I do have a load of energy through the day.

Hello, I am 15, and I would like to gain muscle mass and tone my muscles. I understand some very basic things about training, but I would like to understand the nutritional aspect also.
I only eat natural, no hormone, no genetically modified foods, usually raw. I also drink pure juice and sleep, around 11:00 to 6:30 in the morning. I do not eat energy bars, nor drink Powerade/ Gatorade, because someone told me it was poison. They also told me to not eat Centrum, or any pills for vitamins.
I need the power and speed for two sports, fencing, and swimming. Cross training?
But I also want to look nice in the summer on the beach.
I currently bench 90 pounds and curl 30 on my left arm, 40 on my right. I can do about 20 pull ups and run my mile for 6-7 minutes.
I would like to train better, easier, and faster, without being stupid.
Does the amount of time you work out a muscle matter?

And the loss of which one of your senses do you think would cause you the most anxiety? Kindly limit your answer to the 5 normal human senses; in case you happen to be blessed with more than 5, that is. :-)
