I was dignoised with the disease a year ago and i've tried PT, medications, excericeses, massage theorpy, and about everything else, but nohting has helped so far. And since i'm 14, they won't do any injections or surgery, but i have horrible cronic pain. My family won't bring me to anymore specialists because nothing is working, and alot the things we have tried were expensive. What can i do, i can hardly stand up for more then ten minutes, and every day things are hard to do, even blowdrying my hair, and my back pain is almost unbearable everyday.

Any suggestions and/or recomendations would be superly apreciated.

I genuinely just don't like to eat and won't do it much anymore. However, I don't like the embarassing growls my stomach makes at school all day. How can I get it to stop besides eating something?

Ever since I hit puberty I've had stubborn acne, all over my face. Not to mention my shoulders, back, I've even had pimples on my butt!

I've read a lot of reviews on the high rated, popular acne products, and found that most users don't reccomend using them on dry or sensitive skin. I have very fair, very sensitive, very dry skin, so I don't want to spend my money on expensive products that aren't good for this.

My acne is really horrible, and has had a major impact on my self esteem. I would sell my soul to the devil to be pretty again. ;( So PLEASE help me. Tell me something that actually works. (Also, something to help with scars would be nice)

I'd really like to hear from people who have had really horrible acne and have found something that works. I can't afford to see a dermatologist, nor can I afford really expensive products.

Please help a poor girl fit in in a world of beautiful people with beautiful skin.

I have suffered with anxiety for at least 20 years, since I was about 10. I have had symptoms of every disease imaginable from the west nile virus, to heart attacks, to cancers, and other awful diseases. I am constantly at the doctors and they tell me I am fine. I have numerous tests just in case that all come back ok. I had 3 cat scans in one week just in case. my bills are thru the roof. Now I am worried because I have a burning feeling in my foot. I want to stop this cycle. I want to not have invasive tests for nothing. I want to believe my doctors but I'm too nervous. I often have panic attacks and hardly can eat a thing. I do see a therapist and basically it has taught me to recognize my fears as panic but it doesn't make them stop. It is awful. Suggestions Please.

I read recently that the nicotine in smoking causes the release of dopamine, thus the basis of the addiction. I went on a SRI medication some years ago, and that releaved depression. Does sex release one or both of these chemicals? How about caffeine, chocolate? Over eating gives a gluecose rush. Is the joy of life itself composed of the pursuit of one or all of these chemicals?

I called his doctor and she said the hands and feet are probably hand foot and mouth disease, and the legs is probably exzema...... The rash thats on his hands and feet look exactly the same as what is on his legs, so i think she is wrong..... they look like blisters almost, and cover most of the skin in the area thats infected. I thought maybee chicken pox but from what ive read it starts in the trunk area and spreads from there. His started on his hands and knees. It looks awful but he seems to be ok. Hes not overly fussy or running a fever and he dosnt seem to be trying to scratch it except by occasionally rubbing his knees on the carpet when hes crawling. Does anyone know anything about hand foot mouth disease?????

I don't know much about medication, but I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately. A friend of mine has been taking valium and says it's worked wonders for her. I was wondering how I can convince my psychiatrist who prescribes all of my medications that I would like to take valium. I'm also a former drug addict, so I've heard that kids snort these. I'm not sure if she'll think that I'm going to snort these or not...
