I've seen that dance exercise video infomercial on TV where they teach Latin American dancing in a workout. Do you know if there's any with different styles besides that? I guess I'm looking for one that teaches more of an American style. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your answers.

I had four heparin injections for a possible embolism (which I didn't actually have) over the last two days. I am home now, and the injection sites are bright red, like there's been some bleeding under the skin. Is this normal for an injection site? My stomach hurts a bit as well. Can it wait till morning or should I head back to the hospital? Thanks.

I noticed I slouch a lot. Any help with fixing it? I've checked other Yahoo questions, the answers don't help much. Maybe someone else can help? Thanks!

My throat has been hurting for quite sometime now. And sometimes I feel somewhat feverish. I took amoxicillin 3x a day for 5 days. I also take paracetamol when I'm feeling feverish.
I don't know what would make me feel better anymore...

I have promised my mom, Jesus, myself, and even my cat that I would not harm myself anymore, but the thought always seems to be there. Getting rid of my knives and daggers never seems to help, because there is always scissors, kitchen knives, and even tweezers around to cut with. What are some good ways to deal with self harm, and what to do to stop it??

Please don't flame me for my spelling.
I have tooken a depression online test and have 9 out of them 10 sytoms...

I had tryed to make a conversation with her about it...

It came out as one with the word suicide in it, and I asked her, but she gave me that "I'm going to hurt you" look on her face, then I quickly made an exuse to "get out of school that day" and she calmed...

Depression runs very high in our family...

She's very stirct and she'll tell me "she's to busy" all the tme...I am cyberschooled and she's a stay at home Mom. I don't have any friends and contact with family members is very minimal, and any family member would say that I'm talking crazy if I asked help from them.
I have to ask to use the phone, and she never leaves me alone, so I couldn't call anyone...

Please, could you tell me how I can tell her?

For me, this is like a 12 year old telling there parents that she got pregnant...I don't want to give out my age, but I just started PMS about 5 months ago...

the question:

A lady across the hall from you along with her two daughters. You think she may be angry with you since she no longer smiles when you see her in the building.

One day you find the lady on the floor holding her wrist which she broke. She says that she has been feeling weak lately and fell downstairs while taking down the laundry.

The ER doctor determines she broke her scaphoid and takes blood tests and determines that she's also pregnant.

What autoimmune disorder is this?

hint: her facial muscles are part of the weakness i think

Can't figure this one out.

I am just curious, I am trying to get down to my perfect ideal body weight and am very concious of what I eat now.
With excercise and eating right, do you have a really good feeling mentally afterwards? Like a natural high all the time?
is it really important to reach your perfect weight for this?

Hi,

Is the chemical serotonin found in certain foods more than others? Is there a particular food that has a lot of serotonin? It's interesting to take note of how nutrition has an effect on mood and behaviors.

Thanks!

I'm 37 yrs old, until 4 months ago I have always been in good health. Suddenly I'm hit with problem after problem. I start experiencing chest pains with dizzy spells. Doctor says hypertension and I get put on BP pills. Two months go by and all seems well. Then the dizzy spells and chest pains are back along with extreem weakness. I find myself laying down almost every day for hours until it passes. Another doctor apointment, this time my BP is good, blood work is ordered and meds are left as is. Waiting for results and my vision starts acting up. I repeatedly get spells where my right eye goes blury. Each spell worse than the one before and sight is less with each recovery. To the eye doc I go and I'm told I'm far sighted. The blur spells is age catching up. Today my knee felt stiff and in minutes swells up, I never hit it. It just seems to me multiple sudden issues at this age would be more likly one cause. I know there's no doc here but some may have experienced something like this.

I've been to 2 doctors and 1 specialist. If I cover my left ear, everything sounds as though I'm under water. My ear drum looks fine, no damage, they cannot find anything wrong. Yet I still cannot hear well out of it. A hearing aid has no effect. 1 doctor said it could be psychological but what does that mean?

Also, I work outside physically, so I dont know if that would give me some excuse to weigh a little more since muscle weighs more than fat.

I used to work the overnight shift at work, now I'm trying to adjust to normal sleeping hours. How can I get my body to fall asleep when I want it to? Lately it seems I just lay awake and toss about in bed.

After I take a dump and I wipe my butt, there is blood smeared on the tissue rather than bowel excrement bits. It occurs almost every time I go now, but sometimes there is no blood at all. Sometimes it hurts to even poo because the chunk is so big, as well. In fact I usually only see blood if it hurt to take a dump before. What is going on? I am a 15y/o male.
