My friend is freaking out cuz she's been having her period for two weeks but they usually only happen for no more than one week. Does anybody recognize this as symptoms for something? Should she be worried?

I lost twins almost a year ago but I am still have a hard time. Most days are ok until I see a pregnant women or a happy family. Lately eveyone I know is getting pregnant so I just want to crawl into a hole. I have found lots of books on loss but none really touch on a way to cope with other peoples pregnancies or how to he happy from them or how to stop the envy. Does any one know of any books or websites that discuss this topic?

Since the New Year, I have been drinking a gallon of distilled water a day. My skin look s great and I'm feeling better; however, I've noticed that I have a metallic taste that is lingering in my mouth today. Is this normal? Is distilled water safe to drink if that's the only thing you're drinking?

Yesterday I watched along with my wife a scientific TV show in which it said that actual deodorants possess a mixture of aluminum with other chemical elements that make the deodorant stick better to be in our skin.

But, will all these chemical compounds affect our health in a long term??

I am not sure how it started, but I assume it might be from dryness on my lips from wind or just the weather. I have a little dot on my lower lip that every now and then it starts bleeding for no reason, it doesn't hurt or I don't even feel it when it bleeds. But it is annoying that sometimes I have trouble eating because of the bleed so I have to wait until the bleeding stops. Sometimes it won't happen for many days but it comes back. Does anybody knows a good remedy, or anybody with the same problem? By the way I have cuts on other parts of my body that have healed normally. Thanks

This was my second bout of flu. I went to the doctor, took my antibiotics and other medications, and now I am taking a tonic cold and cough remedy. It does not seem to be working. I have no zeal to do anything, because I tire easily, and I cold sweat sometimes. I feel dizzy when I walk around or bend down.My hands feel shaky, and I don't feel like eating.

I recently moved, and my blood pressure monitor is no longer working. Before I moved my doctor told me I had high blood pressure. I do not have a new doctor and cannot afford one at the moment. Is there anywhere I can order a free blood pressure monitor? Thank you.

But other things like Borderline Personality Disorder and other personality issues, they won't because insurance companies feel they are untreatable.

That is why so many people are being diagnosed as Bipolar.
