I am getting a lil pudgy now, I have cellulite and my stomach has that lil ponch going on and I wanted to be toned for this summer. I am not overweight or anything its just i I have eccess fat from the birth control i was put on and i want it tightened and toned. If I did yoga/pilates will this do the trick?

My mom is being treated for diabetes. She is treated through oral medication by her doctor. She has tried excercising and eating right, but her sugar level still shows that it is consistently elevated lately. She thinks there is something going on in her body that is preventing her sugar level from going down.

What kinds of things could be going on? She doesn't have a sinus infection or anything obvious. I'm asking what are the not-so-obvious things that maybe she hasn't thought of.

Hi,

Im 16 now. When I was 12 I broke my right leg in two places (tibia and fibia or something like that). Anyway, after the cast came off and after all the physiotherapy etc...Ive come to notice that my leg is twisted so that the foot is pointing out to the right. I.e. when I just stand on my left leg, my knee goes perfectly down over the foot so I cant see it. When I just stand on my right leg, the knee goes down but doesnt cover my foot because the foot is twisted round to the right slightly.

In other words, left foot is 0 degrees off of the left knee but right foot is maybe 30 degrees clockwise off of the right knee.
I hope that is clear.
Anyway, I was wondering whether there is any PHYSIOTHERAPY I could do to get my foot twisted back?

Thanks for any help!!!

I've been wondering about Lasik, but I'm really squeemish with my eyes; I can't even put contacts in because it freaks me out so much. So here's my question: Can you be anesthetized during Lasik?

I haven't even decided if I want to have it done, and if I do, it won't be done anytime soon.

I just want to know if I should keep considering it.

Any help would be appreciated!

I have so much stress in my life that sometimes its bearable but sometimes i just cry and i cant stop. Some days i feel like i can do it and some days i feel i like i want to run away for awhile. Some days i feel like i just want to be my myself... better off not loading others with my drama. I try hard to live my life: go to school to graduate and do better, be better at my job.. but somehow i feel like i cant anymore that i lack strength to keep going. Sometimes i feel that i have everything i need in life, enough to survive and be happy but i am not happy. I have the car i always wanted, i am cleaning my debt, i have a great family that loves me, i have a great job that prefers to give me a raise than to let me go... i have best friends.. why? why do i feel this way? I just want to be happy.

I am in the middle of changing doctors. I was told lowering my zoloft by 50 mgs a time is ok. I started at 200 mgs a day now i am lowering it by 50mgs. Is that too much at a time? Are there side effects when coming off of it?

Lately I've been feeling depressed, I'm not as enthusiastic as I used to be about things, and feel like I'm floating along. I have many options, but the two that stand out are.
1. Go and live, and work at a buddhist retreat center in Northern Californa. which would give me change of scenery, and tools to work through my internal issues through buddhist psychology.

2. Stay around here, find work, go to school and attend regualr therapy sessions with a Psychiatrist.

" My thinking is that you can't fix a car while it's running. " ie...if I go and work in a remote area with positive like minded buddhists it may help me. your thoughts?

I am average size. I bought some regular size condoms. I really haven't worn any in a long time. When Im erect they fit fine, not too tight, not too loose, but I noticed the condom does wrinkle up some, kind of bunches up in places, especially with friction. Is this normal?? I mean I can pull on the end of it and it does not slip off at all, it stays on firm at the base. Just curious.
