Health - 26 February 2007

A friend of mine has a neice (age 18) with an acne problem. She has been using ProActive for 6 mos. now. BUT, her skin looks worse than it did when she started. She did clear up for a while but now she breaks out horribly and scars from the acne. She does use the product as instructed.
Has anyone else had this experience (or similiar) with the product?
I had been thinking of trying it but this concerns me to the point I just got a Retin A rx instead. Since I can no longer have kids, the side affect involving pregnancy is a non-issue for me.
I know there are tons of people who could sing the praises of ProActive, but, is there anyone who had a bad result as this girl did?

I've heard 'Indian Head Massage' can be good for bouts of 'depression', 'anxiety', and even some physical ailments like 'bad back'. Has anyone had any experience of the treatment and does it work?

Thanks in advance,

Pete.

I have been in moderate to severe pain for 4 1/2 years and I've been to doctors, physical therapy, orthopedic specialists, and I've had countless x-rays done, one MRI, and one MRI with a saline injection but the only thing that has shown up is inflamation. . They have rulled out a rotator cuff tear, fractures, and labrel tear. Can anyone tell me what else it could possibly be or what type of treatment may work so that I can discuss it with my doctor.

How do you tell a co-worker that you highly respect that their breath is very unpleasant? w/o coming across as rude. I can handle a little morning breath but we're talking about smell that really upsets your stomach. Thank you!

I recently went to the doctor because I am tired all the time and I have slight pain in the nerves of my forearms. They did several blood tests that came back normal except for the CRP test. What could this indicate?

I got a cleansing bottle at the hospital to use after delivery. Wondering what exactly is that for and how do I properly cleanse down there? Do I lather up with soap first and rinse off with the cleansing bottle, or is using just plain warm water down there sufficient. I'm concerned about having any odors down there and since I'm bleeding and from what I'm told, will be bleeding for several weeks, I want to know what exactly I have to do to avoid having any bad smells down there. So far, I've been showering as I normally did before labor. I use soap down there (I lather up with Dial Antibacterial soap, no wash cloth, I rub soap directly on that area) then I use the cleansing bottle to rinse the soap off really well and I change my pad every 4 hours, but I still feel like it smells gross down there (like old blood I guess). Am I doing something wrong or what else can I do?

It's not in my budget to buy a special chair or anything, and I've tried making a wedge with towels, pillows, you name it. I do transcription work so my feet have to be on the floor at all times. And strangely enough, my tailbone doesn't really bother me much while I'm sitting but sometimes I just can't get up because it's so bad.

I don't even know what all the symptoms of ADD are, so I don't know if I have it. It's really hard for me to focus on one thing, it's like my mind is hyper, I have so many random thoughts. When the teacher is talking to me, I just go into a daydream...everyday! Also, I have a really bad short-term memory.. Can someone tell me if I have ADD or what the symptoms of ADD are?

Also, it's like once I start doing something I get bored and move onto something else..I can't even read a whole book. not that i cant read i read very good but it is SO boring..I haven't read a whole book in about 5 years, and I'm only 17. I just cheat my way out of book reports by either downloading them, or picking a movie that has a book..

For about the last month my left foot has been hurting intensely. I am not aware of anything that I have done to hurt myself. It hurts to put my weight on it, especially firt thing in the morning. It hurts when I bend it certain ways. I do not think it is broken or anything because it is not swollen. My husband was sick last week so I slept on the couch, it seemed to hurt less on the nights I slept on the couch. When he got better and I started sleeping in our bed again, it started hurting really bad again. I also have a seriously stiff neck on my left side. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Any ideas about what may be causing it?

I know I probably have Adult ADD but is there anything besides medicine that I could take or some kind of exercise ( mental of course ) that I can practice?

About mid morning I start having a feeling of passing out. Not to the extent that I do but it is not even a dizzy sensation, the only way I can describe it is the feeling you have right before you pass out. Afternoon and evening I am fine! I am not pregnent I had a hysterectomy several years ago. I am on medicine for high colesterol and take an arthritus medicine. This started about three weeks ago and Im not on any new meds. It is driving me crazy! I just want to get back to normal. I have always had very good blood pressure also.
