You know, like Under Armour tight compression shorts that you wear under athletic shorts, i have been told they can make men sterile if worn for a few hours straight. Is this true?

I know I grind my teeth at night, which is probably how this happened. I have a chip in my left front tooth and it bothers me terribly. I went to the dentist and he told me there was not much that could be done, which I totally dont buy. In order to fix my problem, you will need to 'file' the chipped tooth down, then 'file' the other front tooth to make them even again. This seems easy enough to me. Anyone els have similar things happen, and do you think my doc is full of it too? Thanks

I have been sick for about a month now, I keep sneezing and I have a runny nose. All of the medicine that I have tried have not done me any good. I constantly cough, which is kind of embarassing when I go to school, especially now that it is mit-terms, and I don't want to keep disrupting everyone. My coughing has now become worse, taking a toll on my upper ribs and back.

Is there anything I can do?

I am 5'8 and 148. I am 18 in HS & looking to lose the rest of the fat on my body, which obviously isn't too much. I am also looking to lift weights too, because I am really not very strong (average to just a little below avg strength prob). I have just a little fat around my chest, lower stomach & inner thigh, but it is minimal.

I plan on running 5 days a week, about a mile each, and going on a diet of almost no junk food, with as few bad carbs & fats as possible. I also plan on curling, benching, and squatting every other day.

If I do this, how long will it take to lose all the fat that I have????

By the way, what types of foods should i eat, such as for good carbs?? Would cereal like trix or bread be good??

about 5 days ago i noticed a small bump in my ear, i thought it was a pimple or something so i washed it with soap and water and it got bigger and bigger. Its not visible because its actually in my earlobe but I can feel it and it hurts if i touch it. Also I can feel a vein like buldge right under my ear which also kinda hurts but you cant see it. Is this something serious?

My married parents put me up for adoption, but kept my three year old brother. I was not wanted the moment I was born. I went to high school and graduated, then into the Army and became a paramedic.

Now I am a young (mid 20's) mother of two, my husband just cheated on me for the first time in our 10 years of a relationship (5 married), I stay at home and let my EMT-P license expire. I am overweight by 20lbs (My son is 6 months old) I can't make myself get back into school, and I want to be a physician, and overall I feel worthless.

Are we what we accomplish? I feel like I am taking up space, breathing and existing for nothing, and I hate myself in general. Now I think I may be becoming addicted to hydrocodone (that I had to take for months after surgery recently) and that makes me feel like a petty addict, but I am just so damn sad all the time without it. I don't want to deal with depression, my adoptive mother had it. How the hell do I define myself or find worth in what I am

I want to lose stomach fat, and maybe some leg fat. My plan is to run maybe 4 times a week, or 3 for about 25 minutes. In these 25 minutes I run about 3 miles give or take. On offdays, I plan to do simple home exercises like crunches, push ups, some curls with light weights because we dont have anything heavier. Is this a good routine, or are there some specific exercises that will really terminate belly fat.

Okay lately almost every single day for the past two weeks I've almost passed out. I'm out of breathe. I can not speak properly. I have been having trouble remembering things. I stutter a lot. I have never done drugs before. I thought at first i was feeling this way because i had a long period which lasted six to seven days. I'm not on my period anymore and almost everyday I feel like passing out. I'm very weak and tired. I abstained from meat for maybe about two weeks prior to my illness incidents. I must admit that my diet is not healthy at all. Some days two meals or even all. I have no appetite to eat. I have booked an appointment this week. In addition, when I feel like passing out my face, especially my cheeks, become very hot. I have firing headaches. I have not been sleeping as well either. I'm under some kind of stress. Is this a reaction to a lot of stress? or am i truly ill? If so, what illnesses may I possibly have? I am sickle-cell carrier if that helps.
