I have a friend who has this even though all her other nails are normal. It's something she was born with and drs have ruled out any fungus and can't figure out what else it would be. It is very difficult for her to trim and it rips to the quick and bleeds rather often unless she has artificial nails over it. Due to the makeup of it, there is no way to file it down smoothly. No matter how it is trimmed if even possible (it's so thick she can't even do that without it ripping), it grows back with the same thickness and appearance. What would cause something like that?

My boyfriend hates wearing condoms during sex because he can't feel any sensation when we have sex wearing them. I am not ready to go on any hormonal birth control pills.. cause i am extremely sensitive to all medicines.. so i am afraid.
so i want to know whats the best male condom out there.. that will allow him pleasure... or any other non-hormonal birth control ideas. thanks.

I'm in my 3rd recurrance of cancer and this time it's in my skull. Losing my hair when I had chemo was no big deal because it grows back, but now I've been told I should have radiation treatments. That can cause permanent hair loss. I've heard about a woman who used men's Rogaine to prevent hair loss when she was on radiation. Has anyone else heard of this?

I have a hard time falling asleep. When my mind goes into overdrive I will think and over think things in my head. These include singing songs or getting emotional about things I can't change in the past, I will start to get mad at people who did me wrong. I tell my head to stop, but it just keeps teeming with random thoughts. How can I ease my mind and just get some sleep?

I was under the impression that girls stop growing once their cycle regulates. My friend seems to think that they continue to grow (in height) up to a certain age. Does anyone know the answer?

I have been severely depressed, anxious and have had a relapse with my eating disorder. It is so bad right now it is ruining every aspect of my life. I have no health insurance and am not eligible for Medicaid because I had to drop an insurance policy voluntarily so I have to wait a few more months before I am eligible. I am so bad I feel I might need hospitalization. Has anyone ever gotten emergency medical insurance for mental health reasons? I am so desparate. Thank you.
