Im 16 and have been suspecting that i have vitamin deficiency. however i dont know which, the list is endless. can i professional or someone who has experienced help me figure which type.

I have speech problems like stuttering or cant pronounce a word correctly, walking problems - i lose balance, headaches i thought it was due to coffee or due to the time i spend on books, weak mouth, bad breath, pale skin, weak limbs - 3 or 4 days per weak i feel totally exhausted, i have white spots under my nail, hair loss, instances where my mind just won't think, loss of apetit, underweight, numbness or tingling in my hands and feet, blackouts when i stand up all of a sudden, i get out of breath easily - like at school four flights of stairs with my bag on my back kill me i try to breath and that makes my feel nausetic, anxious all the time, impatient, lack of refexis and can't connect ideas toghether.

im really concerned. what if it has bad effects on my future, and my ability to conceive

It seems that doctors give prescriptions to patients but never take the time to talk about the side effects and other things. And you ask your Pharmacist and he knows more than the doctor does.

If my calculations are correct,I have had no had a period in 40-45 days.
Has yours ever had that length of time in between, or was their any medical condition involved?

I usually have my mom or dad or grandma tuck me in before I go to sleep. It works only by them, no one else... my grandma doesnt live here and my parents sometimes go to sleep before me. How can I go to sleep without waking up my parents or getting an anxiety attack? I am not going to drink warm milk, I am a lactose intolerant. That meditation zen stuff doesnt work, and even if I exercise a lot for one day that doesnt help. I cant play music in my room, and I dont usually have time for a long bath... I also wake up several times each night for a few minutes... ALSO... 1- Is there anything wrong with me? 2- Should my dr know? 3- What can I do to help it?

No matter in the summer or winter, my body heat's so high that I feel so hot, especially in a room with bad air-condition. Every now and then, the heat brings a blush to my face. So I don't wear much indoors even in the cold winter. People always think I'm crazy. Why do I feel so hot?? What's wrong with me? May I get some remedies from you people here?

u see, as i know the chances of getting pregnant are higher if i have sex around the 10th up till the 20th day of my menstrual cycle. its a fact in my science book. n i've known this fact since i was 15. n came across this fact in all the women's health books as well. i have unprotected sex right after i have my period which would take around 6 days to finish and usually i'll have sex on the 7th day. I'M 20 NOW, n after being sexually active with my bf for almost 1 1/2 years i haven't experience any pregnacies yet. i also have unprotested sex a few days be4 my period cycle starts again. so its always, right after my last day of period and a few days be4 my period starts again. but i came across another fact saying otherwise. it seems that having sex right after period and a few days be4 period is the most at risk of getting pregnant. so which is true n which is not? damn confuse!

I have chronic achilles tendonitis, which is like having 2 sprained ankles all the time and I have a bulging disc in my back. I'm in a lot of pain and I'm really depressed because since I had to quit going to biblestudy, only one girl called me one time. It's like I don't even exist. I live with my mom because she has to take care of me, so I talk to her sometimes and my counselor, but I don't have any friends anymore. Everyone left me. Do they just not know what to say? Are they so busy that they don't even think about me? I'm really sad because I can't drive and I'm in a lot of pain and no one will call me or come by to see me and I'm afraid to call them. I'm afraid that I don't have anything good to talk about because I'm so depressed, so I'll just make things worse. So, I don't call anyone and they don't call me and I'm all alone and I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice for me?

I can't interact, not in the way I used to in high school

Sometimes I can't make out what others are saying (we are all speaking American English)
Sometimes they would be wispering to me in class about some stuff and I won't be able to tell what they are saying and I will just either say huh and huh again (and look stupid) or pretend to laugh along or say something else to cover up.
Sometimes I can't follow a person's 'story'. It's as if they are speaking too fast and jumping a lot and I don't follow very well.
I admit I'm never a witty person but in high school I could still come up with some sort of funny retort when people joke with me. Now I can't. Worse, I try so hard that my responses become 'off'. Im so inconfident that I just pretend to laugh.

I'm in an ivyleague college. gpa3.5. Why do I have this problem? It wasn't like this b4 I came to college. Any tips on gaining or getting back my 'intelligence'? I can't communicate with anyone at all. Scared to talk to anyone

I am over 3 weeks late ( almost a month). I have never been irregular before. i began taking the pill almost 2 years ago, and was on that regularly until about 4 months when i stopped taking it. I had regular periods until this month. my last one ended december 4th. i have had protected sex, but recently took a pregnancy test and it came out negative yet i still have not got my period. I am not under any stress so that could not be considered a factor. I am beginning to think that i could be pregnant and the test screwed up? Should i take another one? Just wondering if anyone has had any similar situations or any thoughts and/or help would be unbelievably appreciated. Thanks.

Have you used these 'omega 3's' in diet or supplements to improve your child's behavior or improve concentration in school?
Did they work?

What's your opinion..?

Thanks!

I will be 25 next month and have been smoking since I was 14. I quit when I found out I was pregnant, the baby helped, the smell would make me sick to my stomach. I started back when she was a week old. My daughter is now 7 years old. I want to quit, but it is soooo hard. I find it helps 'calm my nerves'. Also, I am worried about gaining more weight if I quit. Any suggestions please. Also, please be nice, I am asking for advice, not rude remarks. Thank you.

I heard that if you say Heimlich Maneuver when you're going to use it to help someone, that you're charged for using the name?? This is what I heard from my CPR class, and they said that's why you say adominal thrusts instead. Is this true???

I never take them out because I can't see anything without them and just laziness. I drive cars around all day at work so i can't function w/o them and i don't own any glasses. I've been sleeping with them on since I got them over 2 years ago and never had any problems accept short term irritation. Just how bad is it for my eyes?

Last fall, I played a little too much tennis and developed tendinitis in my right wrist and began to see a slight hint of tennis elbow, but fortunatley stopped and immobilized my arm before anything permanent could set in. Now that spring is coming, I'm going to start playing tennis a lot and I'm wondering what sort of vitamins and/or excersizes and/or anything I can do to keep my arms and joint strong and healthy. I currently take a normal multivitamin, a omega-3 complex and a glucosamine/chondroitin complex. Is there anything else I can be taking to strengthen tendins/muscles/connective tissue/bones? Also, what sort of excersizes, workouts or warm ups can you reccomend for me?
