My sister is constantly twitching her hands and she always has to be holding something in them. she loves to fold up paper in small pieces and sometimes she feels she has to tear it up. If there is nothing around for her to hold she will rub her knee or something, what could this be?

I'm looking for a pill containing ephedra that is comparable to Xenadrine RFA-1. I've been reading about this generic product called Superdrine that claims to have the same ingredients as Xenadrine RFA-1.
Please let me know of any weight loss pills that perform as well as Xenderine w/ephedra. These worked for me a few years ago and I'm really hoping to get the same results now.
Also, I am very aware of the risks associated with taking ephedra, so I don't need any advice on that. I willing to take the risk for a short period of time.

This is the Superdrine site: http://www.thatswholesale.com/db69.html#ch440

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know roughly how long you should be taking this drug before you feel any benefit? I'm on my 3rd month now, and nothing seems to be helping. My GP says to stick with it, it can take up to 4 months......really?

I am circumcised, and so need some help answering this question. How old were you when your foreskin separated completely from the glans? In other words, when were you able to fully retract your foreskin? I'm asking this because here in Italy, paediatricians encourage parents to pull back the foreskin of their young sons from a very young age, while my four-year-old son is unable to pull his foreskin back very far. I 'd have thought that this would not be a problem at his age. And yet doctors and other parents I've spoken to here seem to think this is highly unusual, and that by now my son's foreskin should be fully retractable. Any help welcome.

I donate blood quite frequently. And they always take it from the same arm – so much so that I now sport a scar on the inside of my left arm from all the needle punctures. It doesn’t hurt, and it hasn’t given me any trouble, but I began to wonder if it was good for a vein to be punctured over and over in exactly the same spot.

Does anyone know if there is any proven medical evidence that giving blood frequently is bad for your veins? Does it cause weakness in the vein wall, or are there any long term problems that can arise? Should I ask the Blood Bank to start alternating arms?

my mom is going today to have an operation for a perianal abscess. they tried to drain it, but couldnt get all the way to it since its about 5 inches in diameter. they also said it could be cured by antibiotics and prescribed some to her. by the time she had gotten home from getting the medicine the dr called back to say they would have to do surgery instead. i am wondering why such a quick change in decision. is there potential for something else there, even if he didnt say so? what can be expected in this operation? anybody with personal experience would be greatly appreciated. i know the background info as i have googled it and read many medical articles. just looking for some more insight and possible reassurance.
thanks so much!
