Ive been trying to gian weight since I was 11 and I'm almost 13. I'm tired of seeing all these weight loss programs and not one weight gain program! There are still skinny people in America. I've done all that dont excersize just sit down and eat a lot but its not working! I'm only 95 lbs and I gain weight regularly (like 10 lbs a year) just like anyone else but that isnt from trying to gain weight, that's just natural. I wanna be able to gain weight! I had too much of this and I'm tired of everybody making fun of me. I'm nice! I never call someone fat unless I don't like that person! I'm tired of people acting like they can just push me around just cause I have no body fat. It's annoying. No matter how hard I try. I could say I have fast metabolism but I'm not really sure cause I never go to the doctor. As a matter of fact, I dont even know if thats where you find out your metabolism speed. My parents suck.=( I'm kinda getting off topic but I just wanna know a good way to gain weight

I have woken up the past 2 mornings with excruciating lower back pain...i can barely walk, i definitely can't bend down and i have to sit at a computer all day for work.....about mid afternoon, it starts feeling better though....has anyone heard of this or experienced this and know what it might be and/or if it will go away? I really don't want to go to the doc if I don't have to, they usually give some strong muscle relaxers and/or pain pills and I'm just not a big fan of those.......

I like jogging a lot. Everytime I have been running 5-10 kilometres, my knee seems to be filled with water and swallows up a little.
What is that? Should I really continue running twice a week? Is it "dangerous" for my knee?

I went for a baseline mammogram a week ago and they called me in to do another. It turns out I have calcifications in one breast and they did a magnification scan and said they're probably benign. My mother had post-menopausal breast cancer with califications so I made an appointment with my doctor to discuss the whole situation. The radiologist wants me to wait 6 months and get a 2nd scan he never even saw me and I'm not sure he was aware of the family history. I'm not so sure. I'm 38 and in good health otherwise. What are some good questions to ask my doctor?

So I'm taking a wellness class in college to help me learn more info on being healthy. My first question is what is a reasonable amount of weight to lose in a month. My instructor said it was about 5 lbs. but I heard it was anywhere from 8-10. I know usuallly you lose more in the first few weeks. My second question is based on a 1200 calorie limit. I just want to know what or where can I find some good and realistic meal plans. I'm trying to cut down on my white foods(i.e. white bread, rice etc.) and I'm using wheat bread instead. but I can't find any realistic food plans or even suggestions because most of them I see have foods I've never heard of. I'm trying to stick with 1200 calories but I may increase that depending on how my body reacts. Usually I get headaches if I don't eat enough. Anyways...mostly I just wanted to know about the reasonable amount of weight to lose and somewhere I can find a good meal plan or suggestions. Thanx!

It says... For acute back pain, take a 30C potency four times daily. What does that mean? It is for homeopathy.

I am a bipolar male in my 40's who has been taking lithium and low dose atypicals for about 7 years.
I prefer a vegetarian diet but am having the problem that when I don't eat meat for several weeks I develop symptoms apparently caused by my meds (shaking, tremors, etc). These symptoms are serious enough that they effect my functioning.
My first guess is an amino acid issue, but I have not been able to figure out that yet.
Second guess is a fat or fat ratio thing.
No other common nutrient (vitamin, mineral) is likely involved since I take supplements.

This morning I woke up at 5:30-ish with some heartburn. I immediately took a zantac 75 and went back to sleep. I woke up maybe an hour later, and the heartburn was back, so I took another zantac... but this time it did absolutely nothing.

A little back-story... starting about two years ago, every now and then I get absolutely EXCRUCIATING heartburn (though I didn't know it was heartburn the first time it happened--I thought I was dying). I don't have an ulcer, and the doctors don't know what it is, but my mom described the same symptoms and said she had a pre-ulcerous lesion, so I figure that's what I have. She told me to take antacids and I'd be fine, and that has worked for me for two years.

Until this morning. This morning, I ended up taking 3 zantacs and 2 of these herbal supplement things my stepmom gave me that worked before, and I was STILL up for 2 hours pleading with god to make it stop.

...Should I go back to the hospital and see if they can figure it out now?

I'm in the Army and we do a lot of running and marching, and it hurts a lot. It bothers me not knowing what it is that hurts, especially since it's not a sprain or stress fracture.

I have OCD. Self diagnosed tho! Here's some reasons why....
When I walk on sidewalks, I don't step on the cracks. If I do, I take two steps back over it, and walk over it again.
When I close my bedroom door, I open it all the way to the wall twice, close it, open about a foot four times, close it, and then turn the doorknob 6 times.
When I leave my bedroom, my hip must touch the doorknob.
When I close my bathroom door, I must turn & touch my hip on it.
I constantly rearrange stacks of papers, bottles on the bathroom counter, etc etc.
When I'm about to go meet a friend somewhere, or talk to someone at all, I worry & obsess over how it's gonna go- I play & replay the entire thing in my head, how it's gonna go, over and over again.
Things MUST have an even number- no odds over. (volume, iPod, etc.)
I know it's OCD. Isn't it???????
And how do I get treatment for it?
My problems are it needs to be free, no parents involved... I live in CA if that makes a difference.

Okay so most of the people that are gonna read this is probably just going to tell me to go to the doctor. but i cant. I have social anxiety and agrophobia REALLY bad.

I've been trying to fight this UTI for a couple months now.
This is the first time i've ever had one. I've tried Cranberry juice, Native Remedies, And Cleartract. All of them helped. But nothing seems to cure it all the way.

Is there anything else i can buy???
Please help me i will be so grateful for any answers.

As embarrasing as it is, i just failed to balance my money well and am completely broke, wont be getting paid again till this next wednesday. Im not talking dont have extra money to buy nice things, i mean i literally have a couple dollars in change... I havent eaten since yesterday morning, as i no longer have any food available to me. I am confident i can make it 5 more days without eating comfort-wise, even though i will be hungry... but is it going to be safe? i really dont have much of a choice i dont have family i can go over and have dinner with, live alone, i pretty much am stuck. like i said i have no problem doing it as its my only choice i just wanna make sure im not gonna get super sick or die from not eating for a week.

Thanks..
