I constantly am getting calf cramps, whether its in the middle of the night or during my swimming team's practice (happened this afternoon... and it still really hurts). I know people say to stretch, drink water, and eat bananas, and I do all 3. (well... not bananas because I think they are digusting. Any other foods I can eat to boost my potassium??) What can I do to stop this pain!!!!???

She's vietnamese but has lived in usa since young. Now she's in her 40's/50's. She's short and slim. But I'm amazed because all day long while at work, she keeps eating and eating.. all kinds of things. And most of it is chips, mcdonalds, junkfood..and stuff like that. My question is, she does seem healthy but is she really that healthy....can she possibly be healthy even with those bad eating habits. Or do asian people have a super metabolism so that's why she doesn't get fat.. and also, even if she eats junk, it doesn't affect her?

One of my best friends had sex while she was on her period and usually her "bleeding" (icky i know, it is all the time) lasts for about 7 days. She has it rough! But the day after she had unprotected sex, her period started to get much lighter when usually that's one of her heaviest days and her period ended early. She thinks she's pregnant. I know it's possible to get pregnant on your period, but can someone help me give her a little bit of reassurance because even I don't know. Just help me calm her down, she's starting to get a litle freaked out. Thanks guys!

I used to be the person that would stand up and scream for no apparent reason. I'd yell @ people for screwing with my friends in the mall. I'd do all kinds of crazy stuff. I was fun to be around if your an adventerous person as am I.
The problem is, I suffer with depression. Im on medication for it, but it's not helping any. I don't like to leave my room for anything!!! I don't like to go out in public, Im nervous all the time, I chew on my fingers until they bleed, I am mute, and I don't know who I am anymore.
I used to LOVE doing all kinds of things. Everytime I try and push myself to do something I once did, I end up looking down. Get what Im saying? I want to talk. I do.
I have alot going on right now. My step father in prison, My real father has yet to bring me xmas gifts {Im 14, Yeah, I don't really care about the gifts, but still, he's my father you know?} And it's like four weeks till my birthday. I have lots more going on, I just don't want to put it all out like that.

Do you think people that have Panic Attacks daily are stupid? Would you go places with a person that could have a Panic Attack in the middle of public with you?

Hi, I have a question here.

My uncle was sure he was bitten by a spider on his neck, he even said he slapped it off when it was biting him. He had muscle pain, vomiting, fever, and started getting a skin rash in that area. The first two days he couldn't even move his sore neck.

So anyway, he wouldn't listen to us, and didn't want to go to the doctor, until about four-five days later.

However, when the doctor saw him, he said it was herpes, or rather looked like herpes.

My uncle isn't very accepting of this, he says, there is no reason for him to have herpes. (My uncle is married, and pretty old fashion).

So my question is, how likely is it, that this can be a mistake? No tests were run, just diagnosed by the appearance of his rash.

My ten year old has a rash on his face that's coming and going. Every time it comes back it's worse than the last PLEASE help. Note: Him having a brownish skin tone has had the area around his lips go white from licking them, but it is now cured.

Madden has nothing on me. I'm about to embark on my first flight in over 15 years. During the last flight, I had a stage 5 panic attack that nearly killed me. I'm talking hyperventalaion, trembling, blackouts, so bad they almost landed the plane prematurely.

Tonight those racing feelings are coming back and in a big way. I got sweat running down my forhead and my heart is beating at 165 bpm, literally. I can feel it pounding in my ears.

My doc prescribed my to take .25 mg Xanax tonight (11 hours prior to flight) and another .5 mg 2 hours before boarding. Will this really work? I got panic attacks worse then anyone, for real. He said this combination would totally relax me, but said if I still feel anxious, I could take .25mg. more, for a total of .75, plus .25 the night before. I'm desperate here. Not to mention I have a middle seat for a 7 hour flight. HELP

I am in high school. and when my teachers have us take notes, they usually use an over-head.... Unless, im like right next (within like 2 chairs) to the over-head, then when i look down at my paper to write, then back up, it takes me a while to re-adjust to see the words written. It slows me down & i have to take time.. the teacher gives us enough time, but it annoys me that it takes long for me to re-adjust and read whats written (in over-head marker)... I can only see out of one eye, since my other is blurred from a virus i got at age 2.... Any idea on how i can solve my problems? Please dont say glasses, id rather not wear them--they dont look that great on me... :\

I have a five-minute teeth-brushing routine:
1. Floss
2. Use Anti-Plaque Before-Brushing Rinse
3. Brush with with toothpaste with whitening agent (Crest, etc.)
4. Rinse with Listerine with Anti-Tartar control

Does using the Listerine mouthwash wash away the whitening agent and prevent it from working? I know off-the-shelf whitening toothpaste does work miracles, but I haven't noticed much whitening after months of using it...

I am trying to lose weight the right way, smaller portions, healthier food, exercise. What foods are best to help boost metabolism? Also what helps to motivate you to exercise (besides wanting to drop the pounds or be healthy)? I love to exercise but find I have a hard time just motivating myself to start every day - chronic fatigue may be the culprit there.
