I have used all these different blackhead removal products, but when I look in the mirror I always manage to find blackheads on my nose that I always pop. Is there anyway to get the blackheads completely gone?

I have ejection fraction 50% - auto accident provoked massive MI with huge scarring in all walls. I have normal lipids, kidney, liver, blood chemistries. but I am in agony from swollen legs and swollen abdomen & liver. Edema did not respond at all to LASIX, torsemide. HCTZ. No diuretic effects.whatever.
I was advised to try Metalazone, a powerful diuretic of another class. I visited an MD today and he insisted , "Oh try the torsemide another 2 weeks, then I'll consider giving you asmall dose of Metalazone, I reminded him that I tried torsemide 2 weeks already, no results & I'm badly swelling with water. He insisted that it was early to try Matalazone, & it was too powerful &he worried for my safety.But he admitted that I was critically swollen with edema from CHF - yet denied me any Rx for this alternate diuretic. I'm in agony from pain in my body and can't bend my legs to step anymore. Someone please advise me. He smirked at me and said " don't go on the Internet so much"

Just completely weaned of antidepressants after 10 years of being conistently on them. My doc and I have already discussed things that might happen during the withdrawal process. But I'm just curious about how anyone else who may have gone through this, reacted to it (both physically and mentally) Any input would be very greatly appreciated : )

I have depression, anxiety, self injury problems. Is there anybody with similar problems that I can talk with. I mean just as friends who can relate. I don't want therapists, counselors or anything like that. I already have those. I've been in therapy and am on meds. I have a psychatrist. I just want people I can talk to as friends.

I have felt better for about 12 hours and have had some crackers, cream of wheat and a granola bar earlier today. Do you think it's over? I have emetophobia (fear of getting sick to my stomach) and I am so worried it will come back. I am even afraid to sleep tonight. :(

My girlfriend took plan B pill, a week later she gets her period, a week after her period, she started bleeding again, she was having similar pains as her period, but she says the blood does not look the same. I really don't know what it is suppose to look like, but i wanted to know if this is caused by her taking the Plan B pill. This was the first time she ever took plan B pill. I'm really worried because she did some research and she thinks it could be related to cancer, or another serious problem. I'm trying to calm her down by telling her that it must be from Plan B pill, so please help me, we can't afford to see a doctor.

Asking meaningless, seemingly attention-seeking questions on Yahoo! Answers, would you forgive them? Or simply pass them off as dumb pranksters?

How do you think we could tell the difference?

Would you rather have wasted your effort on a true idiot, or to have given a sarcastic comment to someone who really needed consoling?

Just curious. A random attention-seeking question popped up in my head, and I had to voice it.

I got my braces off a couple of months ago. I wore my retainers regularly for about a month but for the past month or so I've haven't worn them regularly. Now they barely fit, but I can still get them in my mouth. If I wear them all the time, will my orthodontist notice?

My 2 ½ year old daughter every morning when she wakes up, has got some or the other boils on her body. I don’t understand whether the boils are of mosquito bites or any other insect bites. It causes a lot of itching and she spreads the infection all over her body. I don’t know how to stop this. I keep the bed very clean and wash the bed linen every weekend. Even then it is of no use. Though we all sleep on the same bed, we never get any boils. Could there be any other problem with her ?

So so women know more about Testicles and Mastubation than Men do? I don't go on the Women's Health area and tell women why their crotch itches or why it smells like old fish being nuked in the microwave!

I think I have been suffering from anxiety and depression for a couple of years, but I also feel that there is something else wrong with me. I can't explain it. I hated being on medication, even though it helped me a lot, I did not like the fact that I needed pills to function, so I am currently off them, and trying hard to stay strong. But I guess what I am saying is I feel like no one understands, and I just feel very lonely. Has anyone else been confused like this?
