I got a massage for my birthday on Sunday and on Monday I couldn't get out of bed. I'm all sore and inflamed. I could barely walk and its 3 days later. Should I call the place I got the massage or go to the doctor??

I'm 20 and have been on one date (about a month ago). The girl was really into me and gave me her #, we talked and I asked her out. We went out and ate, then it went downhill from there. I had no idea what I was supposed to do be it talking on the phone or whatever. I asked her out twice more and she canceled both times. Now we haven't talked in over a week, and I'm over her, but I keep thinking that maybe it's all my fault. Maybe I'm just not cut out to be with someone. I know that this is a ridiculous thing to think, but it crosses my mind nonetheless. What should I do?

How many potato chips can you safely eat?
If I eat nothing but potato chips will I be OK?
My Doctor said I had to eat other things as well (even though I was run through every blood test imaginable, and was A-OK) and sent me to a nutritionist, but the nutritionist and I didn't exactly see eye to eye.

Potato chips are high in fibre, iron, Vitamins c& b , and have no cholesterol. The ones I buy are marker "heart smart" because they use the right cooking oil.

Admitedly I am about 20 pounds overweight, but that's not that bad, and I exercsise quite a a bit.

i have a minor hietal hernia, which I was told could be treated by diet, but when my Doctor told me that meant eating less vegetables I think she almost choked herself.

When i was in university some nutrition students did a project on me and insisted I should not be alive and was missing several essential nutrients. But i still am. So how can they be right?

Why is it so bad to eat just chips?

I eat around 1200 calories a day average (i'm small framed, only 5', and have a sedentary lifestyle). I eat a 200 calorie breakfast, 200 calorie lunch, 100 calorie snack, and around 500-600 calories for dinner around 6:30 pm. I want to know if this will cause me to gain weight and make losing weight harder. Do the calories I eat at dinner time get stored as fat, even though my overall calorie intake is only 1200? Does it matter if my biggest meal is at night, or is it all based on overall calorie intake? I know I don't burn all my dinner calories off when I sleep so does it get stored as fat or can it get burned the next day?

Please, serious answers only.
Thank you.

My 13 year old daughter tells me all the time that she wakes up in the middle of the night and it takes her forever to fall back to sleep...and she sometimes has difficulty falling to sleep to begin with. She's gotten frustrated with all my other suggestions, like calming music, chamomile tea, etc.

I am a happily married mother of 2 and I work outside the home, but lately I find myself so tired. I cant keep my eyes open. I want to sleep all of the time. I am starting to really worry I have never been like this. I mean its come so far as when my husband comes home from work I feed the family and go right to bed, and it feels like I am never getting enough sleep. Does anyone have any serious suggestions on what this may be. Thanks in advance.

I mean the calorie meter on the treadmill. Or perhaps the calories burned by wearing them while cleaning the house, etc? Thanks.

Ok...heres the deal. I have been trying to get pregnant for a year now, in August I stopped everything, the provera the fertility drugs everything. Well basically if I am not on anything, I will not have a period. Well in December I had one come on ON ITS OWN. But it lasted awhile, so the doc asked me if I would be alright going on a low dose BC just to get me regulated. Remember I am not taking anything as of then. So I said I guess. I mean I want to get pregnant, but I guess I need to get regulated first. So he put me on Yaz about 4 weeks ago, well 3 days ago I was supposed to start and didnt. So I just now 1:30pm took a test, one of those dollar store brand, and of course it was negative. My question is why am I not starting like I am supposeed to, and 2ndly why are my boobs so sore. I guess I just have never experienced all this before. Its like I want a baby so bad, but its like it never works out. When I start seeing symptoms I get excited. Anyway what to do. BLAH!!

I should probably know this, but I need some outside insight.

What are the symptoms of depression? I know the classic symptoms (feeling helpless, losing interest in activities), but how do you know when it's not just feeling sad or blue?

The reason I ask is because for the past couple of months, I have been feeling pretty down, not wanting to do things with my friends, feeling worthless (esp. when it comes to taking care of the house/kids/husband), irritable, basically feeling like the world wouldn't miss me (not that I don't want to keep on living, but that no one would be affected if I had never been born).

The thing that throws me is that there are breaks where I do feel good and I am happy, but they only last for a week or so, and then I am back to feeling down again. Should I talk to a doctor about this, or are there some things I should try myself to feel better? It's starting to affect my job (I don't feel like doing anything at work) and my relationships, and I hate feeling this way.

Thanks!

I take birth control and they have the yellow pills, which keep you from having your period. Then for a week they have white pills, which is allowing you the time to have your period. Well, I went straight from yellow to yellow, and skipped the white because I didn't want to start my period. Well a while later I still started it on the yellow pills. In less than a week I will be on the white pills, and I don't know if I will get another period, or it I just messed up my whole period cycle now? Has anyone done this before and what happened?
