I take 150 mg of Effexor. I have a daily headache, I am tired ALL the time (even with taking naps!), and I wake up in the mornings with puffy hands and now today I feel puffy ALL over and it's afternoon and hasn't gone away. I've also gained weight, about 10 lbs since September. Has anyone else experienced the puffiness? It feels like I'm filling with fluid, doctor said my hands feeling that way are from the way I sleep, I don't think he's right. Anyone else having headaches and the same Michelin man feeling? I hope, I would like to know I'm not alone!

Since around last night, my tooth has been hurting.. It's one of the ones in that back that isn't supposed to come out. It can wiggle a bit and when I bite down, I can feel that tooth moving up some. It's loose for no reason! Can I do something to fix this or something?

Fasting is something I practiced regularly for the past few years before becoming pregnant last year. I've also studied extensively and may eventually write and publish my experiences fasting. Spiritual breakthroughs accompanying fasting changed my life but weren't the only benefit. Since I now have a 3 month old baby daughter it will be possibly a couple of years before I can fast. I could health-wise REALLY use some sort of cleanse or detox in addition to the spiritual aspect of a fast, but since I'm nursing I am only wishing and wondering. Please share your answers and opinions on fasting while breastfeeding if you have done it or know someone who's done it.

FYI, my baby is supplemented with about 6 oz. formula daily and is at the top/above her weight level for her age. She was almost 11 lbs. at birth.

BTW, the only info. I can find online relates to penance and that's not really the same thing I do when fasting.

Thx!

Ok here's the deal I weighed in at 175 last week and here I stand at 160 this week. I have been on my same normal routine Im not really eating any less and I havn't been vigorously excersizing to get any weight off. What got me real concerned is I dropped 4 pounds between yesterday and today and I did absolutely nothing, but stay at home and relax on the couch. What do you think?

Since last night, I've been having a sore throat and a stuffy nose. I'm guessing these are some symptoms of a cold. I'm also developing a cough. -__-" Well, the problem is I need to get rid of whatever it is.. FAST.

I'm a highschool freshman and finals exams are starting on Wednesday. I desperately need to do well on them because I have a dream of becoming class valedictorian(: lol.

Well, any suggestions?

Ho do you get psychological help in NYC if you do NOT have health insurance? It's more difficult (and expensive) to get medical health here if you don't have insurance. Any advice? Thanks..

I woke up a couple days ago and my right nostril felt odd. Over the past few days it has become red and swollen on the outside. The pain seems to be emanating from the inside, but the whole front part of the nostril hurts when the slightest pressure is applied to it. Any idea what this might be and how to treat it?

My mom is dating this a$$hole who smokes, no one else in my family smokes and I get really sick when I'm in a place full of smokers. Anyway he knows I can't stand the smell of smoke and my mom has told him to only smoke outside. So he does, but he takes our dog outside with him EVERYTIME he smokes(which is about every 15 min, seriously). And right after he is done he comes right back into the house and carries the smell into our dining room/kitchen and the smell lingers around in there for 5 minutes or so. Could he be killing my dog slowly by doing this? And could it be affecting me even though I only breathe it a few minutes each day? I know second-hand smoke is no good for humans but what about dogs?
