I'm 20 and I want to get braces (I want perfect teeth!). The NHS only offers 'train tracks', etc, but I want something less visible like clear braces. I've been told that this is offered by private orthodontists but I have no idea where to start. Some of them are really expensive. Is there a good, reliable and not-too-expensive place anyone can recommend?

Someone very close to me has had a drug addiction problem for about 10 years. We recently found has she has cancer and will need to go through chemo and radiation. The only prblem is she is only 75 lbs. FOr the last year to a yera in a hlaf she has had digestive track problms similar to severe acid reflux. She isnt able to keep any food down relly and as a result (in addition to the drug use) has gone from about 110 lbs to 75. I am so scared b/c the Dr told me that are not sure if she can make it thru chemo since she is so thin. She tries to eat but always has to throw up. If she eats slow it helps a little bit. Please help i am so scared. Has anyone been thru this? The Dr. say they can find nothing wrong (this time but she was hospitalized last year and they gave her A.R. meds and they helped a lil bit. I was thinking it could be a side effect of long term drug use? She does not do that stuff anymore but the Dr. seem to think she is Bullemic (WHEN I KNOW SHE IS 100% not).

Have you ever been in the gym,working out a sweat (the literally way),you don't feel like being in there,but it sure makes you feel and look good after all.
Like they say,no pain,no gain!
They have been playing everything,BUT your kinda music and you don't really feel too inspired to put in your best effort.
Then once THAT SONG you love comes on,playing out loud over the speakers,you sure get to runnin' or pumpin' or whatever you may be doing.
Now you're in good spirits!!!!!!!!!

They have jukeboxe's at sportsbars,poolhalls and pub's,
WHY NOT HAVE ONE AT THE 24-HOUR FITNESS' AS WELL?
Then you can be more inspired to work out,
you don't have to deal with "crap" music thru your whole work out,nor only hear one or none of "your kinda music".
The work out get's more pleasant,and the whole work-out seems to be more fun and you're done in no time!

I have had a irritating rash for a few days on my left testicle. I have noticed that only when I first get out of the shower, I notice what appears to be three or four canker type sores that appear on the infected area. The canker sores immediately go away after getting out of the shower, and just a irritated red area remains. i have been using ketoconozole cream on the infected area and I have been diagnosed with jock itch and fungus which i have been treating for about a week. At first, i thought maybe the jock itch or fungus spread to my testicle and that the cream would help. It appears to help, but I noticed the canker sores again last night after getting out of the shower. Not sure if it could be irritated by the soap im using or what? I have no other symptoms. I have only been with one partner in the past 21 days. What could this be? The three or four sores look like a canker sore of the mouth. Can't go to doctor because im out of town for another 2 weeks. Please help!

A friend of mine is struggling with her weight. She is currently eating healthfully... but (according to her) as soon as she is alone (no witnesses is how she put it) she eats and eats and eats and eats. Then she feels like crap for sabotaging herself. Can you point me in some sort of direction? I have no idea where to begin, what to say, or where to find information. I've struggled with my weight, which is why I think she came to talk to me, but this is outside of my experience.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)

My son is going to be 10 and he asked me this morning if he's done losing his teeth. I hate to admit that I didn't know, lol. Are children born with ALL baby teeth, or are some teeth they're born with permanent?

for example is it okay to workout back if your chest is sore? i know that they are 2 seperate muscles but when working back it streches the chest when pulling the weight back, is this okay or would it be better to weight till chest is not sore anymore.
