I quit smoking three weeks ago using the NRT for a week then cold turkey. I have only had a small headache that lasted for about three days during the first week. Aside from that, I have had no withdrawals that I have read about other people suffering through. I had smoked a pack to 1 1/2 a day for 33 years. So will the withdrawals evenly kick in or what??????

I am a very tall, thin person( 5'7", 112lbs.), and have recently joined my local YMCA and begun a vigorous exercise routine to gain muscle and tone up. I have always been the type of person to never bruise easily. Now, I am noticing big, painful bruises especially on my legs. Is the exercising, causing these bruises? I ran cross-country in high school about 15 years ago and never experienced this kind of problem. I walk/jog about 2 miles a day for my cardio, and then do a few weight lifting machines. If the exercising is causing the bruising, is this normal, or should I notify my trainer and doctor? Thanks for any insight on this matter.

I have been on the starting dosage of a SSRI for about 6 weeks. Will this help me or should I see a therapist or something. I am nervous and anxious all the time.

Thanks.

I am 22 years old and a nanny. i absolutely love my job but because its winter and the parents dont want me taking them out side (they are 2 and 5 months) I have gained alot of weight. I have always been a heavy girl and for the past 5 or 6 months have really been working on it. I go to the gym 4 nights a week and have started weight watchers and am trying to stick with it. But I have noticed that because I dont do much during the day now I havent been losing like I was before or like I should be. So I was wondering if anyone has any tips to help me stay active in the house, they dont have a treadmill or anything like that. Thanks!

Is this because I'm slightly overweight or does it happen to skinny people too? If I was trussed up like this would I eventually die in a manner similar to crucifiction?

I have a head cold and I've tried everything. I've used Afrin, all kinds of over the counter cold meds...I even plugged in the vaporizer over the weekend. I haven't been able to taste or smell much of anything for 4 days now. Any suggestions on what I can do..keep in mind. I've already tried the nasal sprays. The funny thing is...I can breathe out of my nose just fine..I guess I'm congested up further in my sinuses. It's driving me nuts!!!

I am supposed to take Provera 10mg to stimulate my menstraul cycle (it's been over a year since my last period due to weight loss and too much exercize). Will this work even if I currently have less than 10% body fat?
What are the side effects of this method?

Because I am borderline anemic someone suggested I drink prune juice which is a good source of iron. I also tend to have low blood sugar, though I'm not a diabetic.

At noon lunch I drank an 8 oz glass of prune juice (first time I've ever had it). Nausea started at 2pm. Diarhhea at 3pm. I felt pretty sick and miserable until 9 o'clock that night. Thought I had a stomach virus but could this actually have been the juice? Can it make you feel that sick??

I feel ok this morning, by the way.

I'll wake up in the middle of the night and my calves will be so tight it is extremely painful. It doesn't seem to correlate with a hard workout. It's happened after days I didn't work out at all and when I did workout. It happens maybe once a week? I've had this fo a while now, maybe a year or two. Any ideas what this is?

Hi! I'm a good boy. Becoz I think so.

I nature is good. My thinking is good. My behaviour is good.

But I have got a very weird habbit. Since many years I have developed a habbit of neglecting people. I mean to say not paying much attention to people, even the one's whom I know. I really had very bad experiences of this. I have tried a lot to get rid of this habbit. But it's in vain.

Can u help me to get rid of this problem?

I said before in a nother question that my friend said a pregnancy test would be able to tell a pregnancy early in the game. say 4 days after unprotected sex? So my real question is what would you do? Take it now and again if the period is missed? my period is due by the end of this week so it's just a safety call and it's not a waste of money because this cna help determine the future of two lives for all of you who say its pointless. So my last answers were saying it was so pointless and my last answers were REALLY harsh. Can you guys just be nice with this one? I'm really looking for opinions on what you would do, that's all. I have the cash, it's not that expensive so I can afford the tests. What cna two tests take me into debt? Just opinions are all I'm asking for. Thx.
