hi i'm having surgery in 4 weeks, its only the day surgery i'm going in and operation lasting 30/45 mins.

i don't have a fear of the operation itself nor recovery, but what i have a fear of is being put to sleep and never waking up again :/

i don't know why i'm feeling like this, ive been put to sleep a few time with anathestic as a child, but i don't know maybe as you get older you fear it more.

i know the replys i get from this will question will probably be "fear nothing, you'll be okay" but what is the death rate of being put to sleep?

i'm 24 (almost 25) and will be 25 when i have surgery, but yeah i'm health and in good shape.

its the 'waiting' thing thats getting to me.

I'm 6'2" 175 lbs. which i know isnt at all overweight, BUT i have some unwanted fat around my belly and face that id like to get rid of without burning up what muscle i have. ive started running an hour each morning before i eat, 5 -6 days a week. My problem is i dont know how much to eat so that i dont go into "starvation mode" but at the same time not eat too much as to not lose any weight. can anyone give me some advice on how much i should be eating to avoid both of these? Also strenght train 3 times a week for about 20 minutes. i heard this will help me from losing muscle mass. is this true? thankyou

When someone says something and then you confront them on what they said wether it's 5 min later, 1 day later or 1 month and they say they never said it. Is this a illness and if so what?

I have a degree in Social Services and am very interested in talking to people who have this. It must be so difficult to live with. Do meds help at all?

I will be quitting my bad habit of smoking soon (got the patch ready to go, just waiting for a weekend to start so I can see how it affects me). I'm concerned about what to do with my hands... the smoking was somthing to occupy them and it really is an oral fixation. I know the basics.. walk, exercise, eat healthy and so on... however, I am looking for something that can occupy my hands while dealing with the withdrawls until my habits change.

I'm aware... use carrot sticks or celery sticks or gum, or mints and things of the like... I'm looking for other ideas

Hi, I have had a staph infection on my scalp for 3 years now. But just recently found out about it. I have had many bumps that fill with puss. And just recently found out by a dermotologist off of my base that I have this infection. I have been on many antibiotics and nose cream to kill the infection but nothing has worked.
I am moving out of my apartment because my roomate is leaving out of the state. My friend offered me to stay at his house. He and his wife have a small baby a year old.
Over the past 4 years that Ive had this infection unknowingly I have lived with 6 different people and none have came down with any symptoms of infection, i am also a firefighter and live at a station with alot of guys and noone has got infected either.
Should i move in with my friend and his family? Thanks

I have/had a best friend that has genital herpes. She was diagnosed over a year ago. The current boyfriend in which she has been with for approximately a year, has no clue she has this. She is afraid he will leave her when he finds out. We are no longer friends because I felt what she was doing to him (the one she supposedly loves) was beyond wrong. I have never said I would tell her boyfriend, but she had the perfect chance to tell him when she had a bump that was from the HSV2 virus. She told him she was going to the doctor to find out and would keep him informed. I guess he said if she had it he was going to leave her if he didnt come back with it. They have never used protection. Long story short, she told him she didnt have it. So now thats two HUGE lies she has told him and he thinks hes safe from disease, but he isnt and probably has it. Like I said, I told her this was too big of a deceit for me to stand by and be her friend while she is ruining someones life!! Right or wrong?

I have already tried cheaper methods and they were not very good.
I would like to try the Brite Smile method where the dentist uses a blue light but am curious to hear from people who have had any procedure.UK only please.
