Health - 25 January 2007

I was sick about 3 weeks ago, went to the doc and he advised me to get Claritin. Worked the first day, then it didn't. I'm only congested and it's frurstrating, no sneezing, and a little bit of coughing. When I blow my nose, it's clear and very thick...I drink a lot of fluids...what else can I do?

Hi-

I am looking for some type of fat burning/weight loss product that really works. There are so many products out there that it's hard to determine what works and what is a scam. Please Help!!

when you're trying to lose weight and PMS starts? I never had a huge tendency towards cravings, but since my sons birth (he's 16 mos) it has been intense. It's usually something off the wall and something I normally wouldn't really even eat. Do you stave off the cravings, or do you give in?

Do you think that Yahoo is Making a statement by featuring Hilary Clinton Question?

Do you think that they are trying to hit off a silent compagin by featering her question about health care?
Or do you realy think she cares what you think about health care or its just a way to get her face on yahoo home page?

Does Special K cereal actually work in helping you to lose weight? The box says you can lose 6lbs in two weeks (3lbs per week).. is this true?

I don't see what the big deal is. If medication can help you, I say go for it.

I had quite a traumatic experience in 2006, but i felt as though I had recovered from it. Now i'm not so sure?

I feel so sad within, i want to cry...yet my eyes just glaze over & nothing comes out?

Depression may have something to do with it, yet i do not believe in taking medication, so that's so far, a no-go area.

Has anyone any ideas which could help.....

many thanks from dee :-)

I am having surgery on my mouth tomorrow. I am 15 years old, and have a severe fear of , doctors, needles, and dentists. :( I am scared out of my wits. And my grampa keeps talking about it and saying how I could die and stuff. He knows how I feel but he won't stop. I need some coping tips. They are going to give me some relaxation drugs when I get there at 5 am tomorrow, but I am afraid they will be like the last ones and they won't do a thing for me.!!

I feel so nervous, like I am going to throw up! And I have been trying not to think about it but it seems everytime I turn on the radio or tv there always seems to be something about a doctor or hospital on there. I basically need some comfort!!
Please help!!

I don't want to say it's pain but it's hard to describe. It doesn't happen in both legs often mostly the right one, it feels like my whole leg is dead weight and I have to keep moving it. I'm not sure what it is but it's getting annoying so any serious thoughts or theories are appreciated.
