I had my ears pierced in the past, and was constantly getting infections. Swollen, hot, painful earlobes, with some pus. I tried nickel free, those marketed for sensitive ears, 24 k gold - all caused problems, so I let the holes grow back together.

I'm wondering would titanium have the same negative effect?

What is the concept of right? Who invented it? Is it a truth, a fact, a perception? What is the point of it? Is it like Freud said just so we can satisfy our ID? I only ask this because I'm manic depressive and am going through a severe depressive phase. There are people everywhere telling me what to do, think and feel and I don't know what the most beneficial view is to take from these people? And I know that your own view is right but my perception of reality is different just now b/c I'm depressed so I can't rely on it. Or can I? Cos thats just what people say. Oh I don't know, everything is an endless circle of questions in my mind and I never reach any conclusion because my mind has slowed down so much and when I do grasp some sense of understanding from something it runs off again and I need to try and remember what I understood and how.

If your own judgement can't be fathomed or is wrong because you are ill, who becomes right?

My name is Heaven and Im 16 (I was named after a book by V.C. Andrews). I am 16 with a family history of varieous medical problems....For the last few months I have been throwing up randomly. Im not making myself throwing up either. Its never alot and it doesnt seem to have a pattern. On top of that I have lost 20 pounds which may not seem like a lot to ya'll but I lost less when I was on a carb diet for a year. I dont think its the flu cuz I rarly feel feverish but I do get cold chills. I feel week and irritable also. I drink alot too. I could drink a gallon of water and a two letter of diet soda. I have a doctor's appointment the 25th but It would be nice to have an idea of what is wrong. I hope I am just being a hypocondreact...

Probably a silly question, but it occurred to me to ask it anyway. If I brush, floss, and mouthwash my teeth at night right before bed and don't eat or drink anything else before sleeping, what is the logic behind flossing again in the morning? Surely the morning brushing and mouthwashing would take care of any bacteria that set up shop overnight.

Just wondering.

I'm 17, I've been on my period since I was 12 so I'm no stranger to my aunt flow. I've got something incredibly alien to me going on, and I don't have the slightest idea what it may be.

I was sitting on one of the recliners in my living room and I felt what I had assumed was my period start. No big deal, get up, go to the bathroom and do the tampon thing. Wrong. I got there, and when I wiped to be sure, there was this dry looking brown blobby wormy looking thing on the paper. Upon closer inspection I found that it was rubbery, and wiped again there was a second blob/worm/whatever, looked the same only balled up. I called my mom at her work and after waiting a half hour for her to come to the phone *her boss answered and told me to wait a minute* she pretty much said that it was just funky clotting. I've never seen dry clotting with the period.

I'm on depo, had a full pelvic exam and three mandatory pregnancy tests for depo since I've had sex. What the * is happening?

I just got a dental cleaning done yesterday. My dental Hygienist said that I have couple of 'pockets' about 5mm deep and that I require intensive antibiotic placements.
How important is this procedure and is there some way of avoiding doing this for now as my insurance does not cover most of this procedure.
Any dentist out there that can provide me with some info?

Has anyone had the IUD Mirena put in? I am debating what form of B/C to use as I have four kids but the dr doens't want to tie my tubes because I am too young, yet I want it done. So I am debating on forms of birth control before demanding he does the proceedure. He recommends Mirena because I can't take the pill because of the fact that it simulates being pregnant and I ended up getting edema and diabetes when I was pregnant and he cautioned not to go on it. He recommends Mirena which in his opinion is the best on the market. Yet when I talk or search the internet, women had nothing good to say about it. Alot of women stated, pain in the abdomen, hard harsh periods and infections. My next door neighbour had it and she ended up pregnant on it. I need some womenly advice and fast because I have an appointment on the 18th to get it put in...

Hi,

I am a 19 year old male. The question I have is regarding my erection.

When fully erect, my penis isn't 90 degrees or higher relative to my abdomen...it remains at around 80 to 70 degrees. It remains hard throughout sex and i usually last for around 5 to 9 minutes while penetrating my partner. I ejaculate fine and I have had no other problems sexually. My partner doesn't complain..

But recently I have seen pictures of men having erections which are more than 90 degrees ..even on wikipedia..

I was reading somewhere that that's a normal erection...My penis is slightly bigger than avg when erect and i always thought that maybe because of that my erection is like that. But recently it has been bothering me.

So pls help me regd my fears..I don't wish to mention this to my partner fearing that she will think im obssessive abt it..

so is my erection normal??any men out there with the same kind of erection...or women who have had partners with such an erection..pls help.

I've been exercising since Monday evening doing 20 press-ups, 60 sit-ups and 20 laps running around my pool which is 10metres by 4metres, and today Wednesday I'm feeling sore, I'm worried that tonight I'll be too sore to exercise, I don't normally exercise and the reason I've started is because I would like to tone up. Am I doing maybe a little too much? or is this sore thing a sign that it's working well?
