Health - 20 January 2007

After two and a half years' treatment for severe depression and several changes of medication, my GP is going to refer me to a psychiatrist. I have agreed to this VERY RELUCTANTLY, but would appreciate it if patients who have undergone psychiatric treatment could help by allaying my fears about seeing a psychiatrist. Thank you very much in advance.

Hello, my BOYFRIEND is about to recieve a hair test, we just quit smoking GRASS yesterday, and we are deperate for ideas to pass the drug test. We've already quit smoking marijuana, and thats STEP ONE. We are already aware of everything as stands and know that he CAN'T shave his head, for they will just find hair elsewhere on his body. Are there any home remedies that will help us pass the test, (we are already aware of hair test shampoos etc. to help) HOME REMEDIES in example : would it help to dye his hair the day before the hair test?

I have a chest pain on the right side of my body (a few inches to the right of my sternum) I also have a pain in my back in the equivelent position. Kinda like it's going straight through me. My back has been hurting a while but I know that's muscular. However the chest pain is worring me a little. It started last night when I was laying on my left arm and it hurts more when I inhale deeply. Does anyone have any idea what this is from or if I should be worried?

Okay** Before you continue reading, note that this is for mature people preffarably over the age of 20.

I know that the main and most common way to contract STD's is by sexual intercourse, but I've been taught that you can also contract an STD like AIDS by making out. I've never REALLY made-out before, and I am scared when I find that special guy, he'll have experience and might be infected.

So is it true you can get an STD by making out? (if there is a cut in my or his mouth and he is infected) ??

Wednesday around 6pm It was raining outside and as I walked into my job I fell. It happened so quickly I didn't have time to try and break my fall and I slammed down on my right shoulder and arm plus twisted my foot all at the same time. When I got up a while later I had a headache my foot was hurting and sore and hours later I was very nauseous. Now 3 days later my headache is still somewhat there it comes and goes and my foot has a bruise like on the bone where you can see it elevated or swelled in that area it's a small area though. I've been forgetting dumb things like where my keys are and leaving my cell phone places and etc.. I don't remember hitting my head. I don't want to go to the doctor just bc I fell but what should I be looking for to know if I need to go? also my neck hurts on the right when I turn my head right and my right arm is bruised.

I have had this bump on my left buttcheek for about 3 months now .. I tried to pop it but it just won't. It doesn't hurt unless I sit on it, or try to pop it (really hard). This bump used to be really small, but it's sort of growing now, but really slowly. It's white in color and it sticks out like a pimple. What is this?

With all we know about smoking today, why do you continue to smoke? Is it because you haven't really given much thought to what your life might be like when you're 50, 60, or older? If you have children, have you considered the fact that they likely might be burrying you before they're 30 years old? Are you convinced you'll never have grandchildren that you'd like to see grow up? I just really still can't figure it out. If you can convince me with logic and common sense that you're smoking is a good thing, you get best answer.

Hello all! Who else out there uses or has though of using a Menstrual Cup?
I'm looking for real answers, not silly remarks.

A menstrual cup is an environmentally safe way to deal with your monthly cycle, most types are reusable and can last for years, more hygienic, convenient and cheaper than tampons with money back guarantees too!

There are several models, among them:
The Diva Cup (made of silicone) – http://www.divacup.com
The Keeper (make of rubber) – http://www.thekeeper.com
The Mooncup (made of silicone) – http://www.mooncup.co.uk
The Lunette (made of silicone) – http://www.lunette.fi
Instead (softcup - plastic) - http://www.softcup.com

I absolutely love mine, although it took me a couple of days to insert and remove it easily. I thought the concept was gross when I was younger, but I don't like pads much and tampons give me cramps.

My question is who has heard of it, who has thought about it, and who else uses one? What's your opinion?
