I don't mean to offend anyone but.....

The people that feel they are the opposite gender than they really are and want to change their gender, are they mentally ill?

The parents that have a baby and they are not sure what gender they are and the doctors can't tell either(Can you explain that to me how that can be a possibility?? I mean everyone is born with a gender!). Are they mentally ill?

I have a year or so of college study behind me already in some basic courses.

What are the most important factors that employers look for - choice of school, grades, etc.?

Are there any college programs or extracurricular programs that could give me an advantage after graduation?

I looked up some general info online, but would like an insider's view or advice from those who are employed or employ others in this field.

Thanks so much for any help!

It was discovered that I had scoliosis a few years ago. I have been wearing a backbrace regularly for a couple of years now. I take it off for an hour or two a day. I get this loss of touch in the outside of my upper right thigh sometimes. Do you think the brace could be pinching a nerve or something?

Its getting to the point where

1) I drive
2) I get out of the car
3) I go to close the door ... and as soon as my finger hits the metal part of the door BOOM i get shocked...

and if I avoid all contact with any metal on the car, then I end up getting shocked by the metal doorknob when I go into a building ...

I'm getting really tired of this, its to the point that I dont even like driving because I know that as soon as exit my car, im in for a jolt of pain .. what can I do to stop this?

I know, I know! I know that most people are going to say that diet pills only work when combined with diet and exercise. I understand that. But my biggest problem is over-eating. I have heard that these diet pill stop your desire to snack and make you feel full so that you don't eat as much. My problem is that even when I am trying to cut down, I have no will power when I feel hungry, so I eat and eat till I feel full. I am about 20-25 lbs. over weight right now, and really want to loose it. I have cut out all sodas from my diet and also have begun watching the amount of carbs and sugars in and food I eat. I work for a dr and he told me that it is not about counting calories and that studies have shown it is better to count carbs and sugars. But I need something to curb these cravings and the need to over eat.

This morning while I was getting ready for work I suddenly felt very nauseous. I ran to the restroom where I threw up stomach acid. I haven't been eating much lately, and I'll admit I have struggled with anorexia, but it's never caused me to vomit for no apparent reason before. Please don't advise me to see my doctor as the small company I work with does not provide health insurance and I can't afford a doctor so I don't even have one. And yes, I realize anorexia is unhealthy; I've managed to get it under control without any outside help, it's just that I've relapsed a bit recently. Thanks for your help.

I know this is not a women's health issue but I know I've gotten some good advice here before so I figued I'd try....

Ok...This may be petty but here goes:

EVERY time she's around other people and we are on the phone..she hands the phone to someone for me to talk to! She does this w/ people I don't even know! I can easliy name 6 off the top of my head she has done this with. Granted I know 2 of them but still! Here...talk to so and so!!!!!!! OMG

She just did it and I predicted it! Granted the person I was "FORCED" to talk to I know and I told him...I hate when she does this...He agreed!

I know maybe it's just a friendly thing but I hate being forced to talk to someone I have no clue what to say to them! It's like she gets off on it! Thinks it's hysterical! UGH!!!

I have told her I hate this and she does it anyway.

There is a thinning of hair on one side of my scalp, its been like that from the age of 19 and im 31 now. I first noticed this when I stopped exercising regulary, so I assumed it was a circulation problem. Over more recent years the hair on my legs falls out in patches and eventually grows back but only for a short time. My feet seem to get very cold on a regular basis, so is this circulatory? Or am I possibly allergic to something milk maybe? Any ideas??

I have had sore front teeth for about a week and it really feels like they are moving forward! I had braces as a child to correct rabbit-like front teeth, but now they really feel like they have suddenly moved forward again. Is this possible? Or perhaps the pain in my front teeth is something different (not cavities as I saw the Dentist recently).

She just broke her foot so I have been staying with her. Now she has a double whammy of having a cold on top of that. I want to make her some home-made chicken soup (something super easy, please). Got any quick and easy recipes? Also, she takes other meds for her heart and such, and has to drink lactaid milk. Doesnt that cause mucus build up? I was told that regular milk will but that lactaid milk would not. Anyone know for sure? thanx folks! And yes, I must keep an eye on her so she does not get pneumonia.
