I have heard rumours that a home pap smear kit has become available. It's terrible, I know, but I have not had one done since I was a couple of months pregnant 10 years ago. I can't bear it. For me, it's something I can't go through, so this home kit may be what I need.

I think the pain was caused by lifting weights. Anyways I went to sleep and early in the morning I woke up with extreme pain in the left shoulder. I went to take some tylenol and lost consciousness. It was a very brief moment of unconsciousness though. The pain was the worst ive ever felt. I could hardly move it was so bad. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

I have been getting migraines for 2.5 years and lately they have been really bad. I had one for a month straight and the only way to get rid of it was to be hopspitalized for 5 days and get medicine through and IV, then the day after I was released I had a migraine again. I am in college and have been missing class. I have tried every kind of medicine and nothing has worked, I dont know what else to do. I get pain in the back left of my head and when it first starts it feels like my brain is tingling then it feels like there is a build up of pressure then it just throbbs. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've been having random mood swings for the last year. I'll be really happy at one point and all of a sudden I can get really angry or agitated. And I can go the other way too.

Also, when I do become agitated I tend to push people away and I feel really bad about it, like my insides are reaching out for them but my body is pushing them away.

My boyfriend thought I might be Bipolar but I don't get 'depressed'. Sometimes I feel like nothing I do is worth anything but I pretty sure everyone feels like this at times.

Basically, any thoughts on why I have constant mood changes? It's also hard to explain to people close to me so I don't. I feel like they won't believe how I'm feeling..... I don't even know how i feel.

Skin Bracer is an After-Shaving lotion. Sold at drug stores everywhere. I don't bother wearing designer stuff.

Anyone wear this stuff? I wear it because I like the scent. I'm 17. I dislike "Axe" and "Tag". I can't stand sprays. I get allergies really bad.

It all started when I took my girlfriend to the gunrange for the first time a couple months ago. I've been in the Army Reserve since 2001, and was deployed and all that, and I thought going to the gunrange would be a cool date, something out of the ordinary. But now that we went, I took her again a couple weeks later, and I almost bought a gun. Now, buying a gun is all I can think about, and it's kind of scaring me. I don't think about killing myself or other people, I just really want a gun. Just last week, I bought two guns, and I'm in the middle of the waiting period right now, and I feel like I've never wanted to buy anything else more in my whole life.

Is there something wrong with me? Do I have some gun fetish or something, or did I just become a gun enthusiast? Should I go to counseling?

Ironically, if I go to the counseling center at my university, everybody knows me in there since I used to work there. They know me as the happy-go-lucky guy, not some gun nut.

less often. Has anyone experienced success (or not) with this method. I'm thinking of about eating 6 or 8 times a day, say not over 200 calories each time.

I'm a 13 year old girl. I have black hair, and I have sooo much dandruff. I mean, I'm a very healthy and clean girl that takes a shower every other day. I guess I shed SOO much dandruff. It's embarrassing, because when I scratch my head or something, or move my head in the slightest way, my whole entire head becomes like a winter wonderland of dandruff.

It's noticeable when I wear anything because it keeps falling. I've tried Head and Shoulders shampoo but it did nothing.

WHAT CAN I DO!???? HELP! I NEED TO CURE THIS FOREVER!!!

I've tried all the home remedies I ever heard of but they haven't helped. I now take 1000 mg. Vit. C daily and it has lessened the severity of outbreaks but I still have them about every 28 to 30 days. They used to be so bad that I had to have them cauterized with silver nitrate. It didn't take away the sores but it killed the nerve endings so they didn't hurt any more. They usually last one to two weeks then disappear as quickly as they came.

I had surgery almost 5 weeks ago and now have pins and a plate (I think) in my Rt ankle. I found out that I have osteoporosis in that foot too.I get the non walking cast off tomorrow and a boot put on. I can take it off to sleep and bath. I normally work 12 hours shifts and I am on my feet most of the time. I am wondering how soon I will really be up and around pretty good on that foot. Are you able to drive with your left foot?
