Health - 30 January 2007

We broke up several months ago. Now I'm worried that I might have hep c. We had sex without condoms (but never during my periods).
Can anyone tell me where I can get tested for hep c? (I live in NY, brooklyn) And how much is it gonna cost me? (considering the fact that i don't have health insurance). And also I wanna do it anonymously.

I am really tired all the time-I just started an exercise program and hopefully that will help, but I'm sure i need to take some kind of vitamin also. A friend recommended B12 and i started that 2 days ago, but is there a possibility of overdose if that isn't what I need?

~I am a 31 yr old mom of 3 kids and I work full time-sure I'm going to be tired, but I mean ready to go to bed at 7:30 every night is crazy! I am 5"3 and 155lbs, which is considered slightly overweight, but I feel sooooo out of shape!

Any tips or suggestions would be great-Thanks!

I want to loose weight and tone up. The only thing is that I am addicted to carbs. I love to eat sweets, breads, and other bad food. Is there a way I can make myself change? I want to go on a protein diet, but I'm clueless where to start. How can I really discipline myself and change my eating habits for good?

i've had a "knot" in my upper back/shoulder area for over 2 months now....sometimes the pain lessens quite a bit, but then it just comes back full force....
what's causing it, and how do i "treat" it??

I went in for my back pain today, and I was prescribed 3 medications after a thorough and painful examination: Medrol (a steroid 6-day dosepack) Robaxin (muscle relaxer) and Vicodin (pain releiver). I was also given a shot that did take the edge off the pain I have been in for 4 days, but it did not releive it completely.

Anyway, I read over all this medication information, and I am afraid to take the vicodin. Hubby and I usually have a glass of wine with dinner, and I am afraid so much acetominophen (500 mg per tablet and I am directed to take 2 tablets each dose) is going to be harmful. Of course, I have no issue with forgoing wine with dinner at alldue to the medication, but since I have drank a glass with supper some nights for many months, will this medication harm me? I don't drink to excess and rarely have more than 2 glasses, and it's not every night.

Plus, has anyone out there ever used this medicine (Vicodin 5/500) ?? I am afraid to take it but I am in very bad pain.

Some people tend to report that this should be a total of a person's steps in the course of a day and then I have seen others say it is the total amount just for exercise. I myself on avg do from 1500 to 3000 a day. I figured this out on a baseline to see what I'm doing currently before starting exercise.

A couple of times I have found rolled up pieces of aluminum foil lying around and I am wondering if this means he's smoking pot or something? I have never done drugs, so I don't know anything about it, and I don't want to accuse him if there's nothing going on.... I thought he was telling me everything and would be very hurt if he was hiding this from me. :(

In my childhood I had bad problems with my gums, and used to be dreading going to the dentist even if it was months to go untill I actually went. It ruined my childhood basically. But I never told anyone. Anyway, I brushed religiously and got them sorted out. But I now have 1 or 2 teeth with slight gingivitis, its not major, just slightly red. I can even diagnose myself, because I went that many times when I was younger. Anyway, long story short, im going to the dentist tomorrow and absolutley petrified. Even though I know my gums are in good health except a few, im still scared to death. I swear, I start hyperventilating in the car.

Anyone know how to calm myself down?
