Before I gained weight I had no problem with acne at all and now I have it REALLY bad. I also realized that I have really dry skin. Before gaining weight of course I had dry skin sometimes but now if you look at my skin it's almost like a light white ashy color over it. I have tried all kinds of stuff like lotions to help and for acne I have tried all kinds of face washes and creams and none help. Can anyone tell me why it's changed now that I have gained weight and anything that might fix these things?

This is VERY long and will span several posts

I just asked a question in fitness and got results almost immediately so I feel encouraged to ask some more…

I have had a boyfriend, who I will call Keen for anonymity reasons, for almost 9 months now. Before we dated we was going out with another girl and even admitted to liking me and hung out with me while dating her, but not sort of ‘cheating’ beyond that occurred, which I don’t consider cheating.
We would talk for HOURS. It was wonderful, he made me feel loved. When we dated, it got better. For the first few months. Then we would argue about silly stuff and serious stuff and he always manage to make me apologize.

I think it was around the 7th month I really noticed a change. I noticed, when chatting online, he didn’t use anymore of his cute little faces” such as “XD” and “X3” and so on, little stuff, but it just made everything he said so impersonal when he used to have every sentence with it.

If prominant ridges appear on the nails over several months , what does this mean? - is this anything serious to worry about? What can you do to make your nails healthy again and how long does this take?

I was diagnosed as a diabetic last week, I was prescribed a pill called Avandia, it's supposed to lower my blood sugar. I haven't got it filled yet, anyway, I have been taking my sugar for 1 week and its only been high twice, once 122, and 145 another, but it normally runs about 70-80 at night and 100-110 in the morning. My Dr. determined I was a diabetic by a A1C that I took an hour and a half after eating, and no other tests, it was 4.5, and my average, i guess that's what she said it was for the last three month was 143. From what I have been told you are supposed to fast before taking a A1C, is that true? I didn't know I was taking it that day either. Should I get another opinion? I don't want to take the medication if it is going to make my sugar too low.

My skin itches really bad, all over. Sometimes I scratch so much that it bleeds. I don't know wether it's because of dust or winter dry air, but will a humidifier help me?

Is it getting to the time when nature will put a stop to the population ever abundance. HIV AIDS has been around for some time now and no cure or prevention yet. There are several other desieses out there that if get loose will be devistating to us all. Some of the old ones are coming back due to becoming tolerent to antibiotics. TB is one of them. Bird flu may get us soon. There are more coming along all the time.

.....Has mother nature hd enough and is about to show us just who is the boss?
.....Personaly I do not know but it does have the appearance of a pandemic on the way.

I've suffered from depression for as long as I can remember & have used drugs to cope or medicate since I was ten years old. I'm now 38, I've had my share of ups and downs, a emotional rollercoaster at best. I recently lost my business, my house & for the most part, my family & friends. I quit crystal meth, after 2 years of pretty much everyday use, cold turkey in November of 2006. Along with the meth went anyone else I had to talk to. I'm still with my wife but she is a bitter person, tired & finished dealing with me I'm affraid. The depression is overwhelming. I feel empty, hollow, alone. Any attempts to try and better my situation only seem to plow me deeper into depression. I can't find work, cant find forgivness & cant find myself. I'm tired. The pain I used to feel with depression was normally not something I could put my finger on but now it is physical as well. I don't know how much longer I can manage. I have no one to talk to, no means to get professional help. What next?
