I've heard that celery requires more calories to digest than you consume when eating it, so the more celery you eat the more weight you lose. But celery doesn't taste that great. So I was wondering, with all our breakthroughs in sciency and chemistry, why can't someone invent Pizza that tastes as good as Papa Johns, but is actually negative calories like celery. I think that invention alone would solve the obesity problem in the United States.

7 months ago I had a lump removed from the inside of my finger; it turned out to just be dried blood. The girl at the doc's office that removed the stitches afterwards seemed shy and clumsy. I felt like she didn't pull some of the threads all the way out. There was no inflammation, and the line of the scar is barely visible, but these 2 hard lumps of what looks like scar tissue remain. They do not hurt or itch but are a nuisance. The hand surgeon says it's just the way my body healed. I could have them cut out (by another doc, thank you) but then maybe I will have a repeat with the new scars if it was just my healing quirk. My dermotologist says they are not cysts, and to check back with the hand surgeon. No thanks.

Ok.. I received my period on a Friday, I had intense cramps and no medicine of any kind could help me. It last until saturday afternoon. Then I had a day in a half of regular period and all of a sudden monday.. it stops. Dead in its tracks, no blood, no discharge.. nothing. Tuesday morning, wake up as happy as can be and Im at work and all of a sudden a huge gush of blood, and not even the end discharge that most get at the end of a period.. but actual mentrual blood. That lasts for 1 day and now I have had 2 days of really really BROWN discharge. more than ever.

any thoughts?!?!?!?

A couple key things...

*My periods are somewhat illregular (sometimes late, sometimes early)... BUT, I have never had it for just a couple days. Its normally 5-7 days.

* I am sexually active

Many mothers are saying that the government are not doing enough to help kids that are overweight.
I have views about Tony blairs policy but how ridiculous.
I say don't give the kids any help.Again I say no funding at all.
The help they need is from the mother,how an earth can mothers claim they need help,The mothers are the ones feeding them with cr@p.
The child becomes bullied BECAUSE of the parents Feeding them the foods.
If my child becomes overweight then its down to me,sure he goes to MacDonald's and eats crisp chips etc,but still eats a staple diet of fruit and vegetables.
Then mothers are claiming I cant get him/her to eat fruit or vegetables,so what happened since I was a kid.
give the child a good healthy meal,if he or she don't eat it then they cant be hungry,if they do eat it reward them with a treat.
I'm absolutely bewildered to what is happening to this country.

I am considering monthly disposable "day and night" contacts which you wear continuously for one month, even when you sleep, and change after a month. Does anyone have these? Interested to find out what they're like.

I was talking to my friend the other day about this and she said everytime shes about to go out she does about 20 crunches and it actually makes her stomach thinner.. but i heard from a few people that crunches rarely work unless you do some running or some other workout along with that.

A middle-aged woman, appears at the clinic complaining of multiple small hemmorhaged spots in her skin and sever nosebleeds. While taking her history, the nurse notes that she is taking apronal (a sleeping medication) because she has problems getting to sleep at night. This drug is known to be toxic to red marrow. Using your knowledge of physiology, explain the connection between the bleeding problems and the taking of apronal.

Please give as many details as possible. Thank you.

I developed an immunity to my old allergy medicine, allegra, so had to switch. My doctor perscribed zyrtec. I have been taking it for about a week. I have been late to work every day this week due to my inability to wake up. My doctor initially told me to take it before bed, so I've been moving the time of dosage back further and further to try and counteract the drowsiness. No luck. I've also been somewhat tempermental since I started taking it... like I punched the button to the elevator I was so pissed off this morning about being late again. I'm groggy all day and lose my train of thought half way through doing something. Luckily my boss has bad allergies too and understands I'm adjusting to a new medicine.

I'm taking 10mg once a day. I'm 5'4'', slightly built and weigh 110. Could the dosage be too high for my metabolic rate? Has anyone else experienced the mood swings after taking this? I've been totally out of character since I started taking this.

It scares me that there are so many doctors that don't know about the TSH standards going from high TSH at 5 to High being 3 or even 2 .... This change was made in 2003!! I went in with a TSH 5.3 and my doc said I was "normal" I knew something was wrong with me (hmmm, hair falling out, cold, sick as a dog, tired, so confused it was hard for me to drive, etc) so I bugged and bugged him, I finally had to get an endo to talk to him, found out I have Hashi's ... if I wasn't persistent, I'd be in bed right now wondering why I was so sick, he probably would have put me on Prozac thinking I was depressed. People, if your doctor says a TSH of over 3 is normal, argue, kick and scream if you have to, it may be uncomfortable and awkward, but you will thank yourself in the long run.
