I've been an on-off member of weight watchers for a while now and it seems that every time I lose some weight, i fall of the wagon and put it back on again. Joined (again!) last week but I can't even seem to get the initial motivation! I need help! Any tips?

I have had a sore throat now for 5 days. After waking up in the morning and taking my hot shower I have a productive cough where I cough up that nasty phlegm... yellowish/grey/green and thick. But as the day goes on that stops and I only have the dry cough which makes my throat hurt worse. I have nasal congestion too. When I walk fast down the hall and around the plant I work in and then back to my desk I am out of breath and start coughing for a few minutes. Is this just a cold that passes or something to be concerned with?

My husband has been taking L-Lysine for the last few days and has had pain in his knees. worse in the knee that he had surgery on 25 years ago. It's also rainy weather. If the weather is causing the pain, it will be the first time ever. Could it be the L-Lysine?

I have a cold and a history of asthama, but i didnt need anything since i was a child for it. But since i had this cold, and temperature (mild) i keep coughing, and also im wheezing too much (like i cant breath properly). Its getting very very uncomfortable, do you guys know anything i can take to calm it down a little bit?

I dont have an inhaler , i never needed one since i was 15 (now im 21).

I start cussing like a sailor! It's mainly when my kids won't mind and yes I've tried everything like grounding and taking things away. They aren't the problem though. It is me. Could it be any of these meds that are aggrivating my stress level? Lamectil (mood stablizer) provigil (sleep apnea, narcolepsy) ovcon (birth control) this is it other than levoxyl (thyroid). I've been on Lamectil and Ovcon for about 3 weeks. Before was wellbutrin and orthotricyclene. My nerves are so bad!!!!

I have small hips and a bigger bust. I hate being out of proportion. Are there any exercises that can reduce the size of your bust?

I know Airborne is supposed to be preventative but I've been taking it and caught a cold anyway. Now that I have the cold will continuing to take the Airborne help, or should I cease and desist?

I have this pain in my right hand from my palm area to my third finger and it's VERY painful!! I had carpal tunnel surgery done on both hands 5 yrs ago, I am right handed so I use it more. I went to my family doctor, he had xrays & an MRI done on my hand, he said it didn't show any swelling, arthritius or anything unusual. He said I might be getting carpal tunnel back! He suggested I wear a brace for carpal tunnel to bed at night, so I do... but it doesn't seem to helping. The pain seems to be worse. I don't remember this kind of pain when I had carpal tunnel, it was mostly numbness, then painful. My question is....is there a specialist that I should go to for my hand or continue wearing the brace & see what happens...it really hurts bad!!

why is it you can read a huge ammounts of questions that can involve possibly life threatening symptoms on this site. honestly i think life is too precious to gamble on any site, alot of these people that ask should really consult a doctor as alot of us people are not health proffessionals and thus are basically giving our oppinions (which is fine and dandy if it is a question about less important things, but can be dangerous to peoples health)

I get a good nights sleep, get up and drive to office (45 min) and by the time i am there I am not fresh any more. My head feels cloudy and I feel lazy. Then I go on to use my computer for the rest of the day and by the time its evening I am completely exhausted. I thought i need a vacation, but a recent 4 week vacation did nothing to improve my condition.
Could it be that i need glases? I never feel that my eyes are weak.
My diet seems to be alright and I do exercise regularly.
I went to the doctor recently and got my self checked up completely. The diagnosis- I am perfect.
Any help to clear up my head?

How long does the pain last? How fast does it heal? How much does it hurt?

have a lump, about four-five centermetres inside my vagina. it doesnt have feeling, or any pain. its in the shape of a sausage, or something similar. i dont think my family has any history of things like cancer or such, but i dont have the guts to get it checked. i know i should, but i suffer from depression and panic attacks/anxiety, so its not that easy for me to over-come my fear of getting it checked out. it doesnt really hurt at anytime, although occasionally during sex or inserting a tampon, it feels like it gets stuck, or goes the other side of the lump. (the lump protrudes at an agle of the side of my vaginal wall). i can feel it with my finger and trace around the top or it (thats how i know the shape) any one had a similar thing??

i know that i need to have it checked, so please dont submit answers stating that!!!

Has anyone experienced episodes of disturbed sleep where you are awake and conscious in your mind but still physically asleep - that is, you try to open your eyes and get out of bed but can't - and when you try to go back to sleep - you experience a kind of seizure? Would this be related to epilepsy or some sleep disorder?
