I get these weird bumps on my skin that look like mosquito bites, but there are no mosquitos out. I have had them on my legs, breasts, arms, stomach, and back. They just pop up in random places, but are usually found in clumps together.They itch SO bad! I have looked for bed bugs, but I don't think I have them. I was just wondering if anyone has had these symptoms and what it was?

I've been having mild to moderate upper-mid back and shoulder pain, on and off, for at least a few years. My neck often aches as well. I'm a 25 year old student who spends a lot of time sitting in front of a computer. I know my posture could be better, but it's difficult to maintain when sitting in front of a laptop. So my question is, do you think I should see a chiropractor, massage therapist, or physical therapist about this? I feel like my muscles are almost always very tight, but I have had a bit of shooting pain in my upper-mid back and some mild tingling down my arms (rarely). I would like to hear from people who visited any of these specialists. Thanks!

i went on the atkins diet last may and lost 120 lbs... I was huge, 6'5 and 310lbs!! after hitting my "goal" weight of 200, I started eating unhealthy again. I gained 20 pounds and came across the thought of me possibly becoming fat again. Im now trying to do something about my weight and get it back down to 200. I try to eat a little bit more healthy, and recently started jogging every night. The problem is I dont jog far (after jogging about a kilometer i get really sweaty and can't continue jogging. I then try to push myself a bit and do a few more. I dont know if doing that is enough to push some weight off. Also, what is the best way to get rid of my excess skin? I still have a big belly (without fat mostly I think)

thank you

Hi there,
I've had this condition for about 2 weeks now. It started with a runny nose, then about 3 days later I got a sore throat which was not really bad and my lymph nodes got really swollen as well. I kept getting a runny nose in the morning and before going to sleep at night, at a day time it wasn't really bad. For these past 2 weeks I did not have any fever though. After about a week I went to a doctor and she prescribed an antibiotic which I've been taking for a week and today was the last day. Even though I still have a sore throat still and also this dry cough which started about 5 days ago. Also I noticed for the past 10 days or so I've been sweating a lot at night and it never happened to me before, not unless it was really hot. Also today I got a result of my blood test which was done at the time I went to a doctor and she said everything is normal except for my blood chemistry was too high which she said means I have a high vitamin concentration.

So I know this might be gross but I've always wondered why girls get so gassy and have to Sh*t so often when we are on our periods? I tried to look it up on the internet but only came up with some bogus answer about demons being in our colons and needing an exorcism...I thought it was pretty funny but I was wondering if any of you knew the true answer.

This story is set in the early Victorian era.
Jane causes her sister, Anne, to have an accident during their horse ride. Anne, from her head injury, becomes blind (Or should I make her crippled?) And so Jane feels guilty and so spends the rest of her life feeling guilty and trying to make up for that guilt by always helping out her sister. Of course, this isn't the entire plot, but just the overview of it in order to ask whether Anne should get blind or crippled. The problem with making her a crippled person is that I don't know how one is to tend to crippled people. I tried to research about it, but the information is difficult to find

I took them to the vet about two weeks ago and neither vet had seen anything similar...She prescribed anitbiotics for the respiratory infection and thought that might clear it up (it didnt) , she also suggested trying a different type of bedding (i use carefresh and am going to try aspen). the growths are around the outer edge of the ear and dont seem bothersome, some spots are black but it looks crusty. I will take them back to the vet, but was hoping I could get some peace of mind before I do that. Could it be a fungus? Are there any websites with good diagnostic photos?

I have been wondering what kind of snack, energy bar, and etc. would help me on my running. Hear potassium (bananas) can help on restoring worn out muscles to prevent your legs from getting sore. Any thing else?
Any energy bars? But I really don't like Power Bar and I have a suspicion it doesn't really do anything.

Anyways, just curious. I only do pole vaulting and some other jumps, nothing really extraneous (I think).

A friend of mine said that he heard somewhere that slightly undercooking pasta will make it less fattening. It was something to do with the "Glycemic index?" or something to do with sugar / carbs / digestion? Does anyone know if it's true?

Play therapy has been recommended for my 6-yr-old step-daughter by her school. I think it is an excellent resource for younger children. The insurance company refuses to approve it and states that there is no statistical proof that play therapy is any better than other types of therapy. Anybody have an opinion, experience with play therapy, or information on play therapy?

Any ideas or info welcome.

Step-daughter shows signs of depression, anxiety, withdrawal consistently for 2 years (behavioral screenings). In addition to behavioral, social issues, she is in special education (1st grade). At home says, "i hate myself" and "i want to kill myself".

We see her 2 weekends a month and half of summer vacation, limiting our access to get her the resources she needs. Mother only now is finally looking into this after a year of pushing on our part.

Those people were only eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating meat with out all the sauces and fat, running around getting exercise all day long, and still not living to be 100 years old. They would live to 60, maybe. And now days we have 100 year old people who have eaten tons of fast food, smoked, and never ran a day in their lives. What is up with that.
