will mylanta or malox(sp?) help at all for gallstone pain-and are they pretty much the same thing or does one work better?

Umm this is kind of embarassing but it happens to all of us girls. But I started my period like 2 years ago and for some reason it just wont start a basis. Like for 2 months it will be at the same time and then it will change again. Its starting to annoy me cause I dont know when to expect it. Is there anything I can do?

Somehow, I ended up with friends who are somewhat overweight or a sturdy, healthy weight.

I'm very, very thin and tall!
(I'm 5"9 and weigh 110 pounds.)
My friends all tell me I need to gain weight and honestly I think the jealousy is making them mad.

This must sound stuck-up but it's really becoming a problem here!

P.S. "Maybe they're not your real friends" is NOT an option!

I read on the internet testimonials of women who have tried it (locally) and said it works. However, researchers say it's ineffective. What do you think? Have you ever tried it? I say nothing tops a prescription medicine, but I could be wrong.

i've isolated myself from people. and i dont understand why...i've just become anti-social. being alone feels natural to me now... and i could care less about social gatherings/people, and i sometimes even walk away from people. i've taken cymbalta but then i started having side effects: mucus coming out of the inside of my nose into my throat... should i keep taking cymbalta? what should i do?

Hi there

We are foreigners working in Mexico on a show, our best friend is on 1 tablet of EFFEXOR XR per day.

She eats only one bowl of poridge per day and one yogurt, then dances in one to three shows per day (Alot of excersize) and lives on eating huge amounts of sweets. She was also taking Nicorette 15mg for 1 week, and also taking Dulcolax (Natural constipation laxative)

The last week or so she has been comkplaining about not sleeping and heart pulpitating, she told us this medication was to control her heart from not getting anxiety attacks and for her split personality and depression disorders.. After reading here it seems that this isn't really for the heart, and more for anti depression (These medications normally raise blood pressue making heart beat faster??????)

Anyway now she is causing a big drama with her family, and everyone is scared thinking she is going to have a heart attack, is this possible... And also if so would this be because she is not eating, she

When you get your period does it mean you like stop growing? Does it mean that your growth spurt is already over and the most you'll grow is like 2 inches.

I've been trying to lose weight for awhile now and nothing has been changing. I sometimes lose 5 pounds and gain them back. Those 5 pounds fluctuate. Years ago I lost 30 pounds, and I've been doing great at keeping it off. I want to lose 10 more pounds to get to my goal weight but I've seemed to reach a point where all the exercise I'm doing isn't helping me. I'm starting to watch what I eat even more carefully than I already do but seeing no progress is really discouraging. Any advice or tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all,
Usually all my questions are jokes and i come on here to have fun and meet new friends not for outright serious stuff unless the question or answer requires it. I know i could find several answers to this online if googled or through medical books. But none of those have first hand accounts of stuff like this. So please no jokes and only answer if you have a serious point to raise.

Today on my 5 year old sons chest we found a lump. He has been the doctors and been reffered to alder hay hospital one of the leading childrens hospitals in the uk. The doctor confirmed it is a growth of some kind but is not sure and to be careful wants it checked out. All I want to know is what else could this be other than the big C as my head is scrambled and i want some sort of preparation before i take him to hospital. Have you had any first hand experience of this what was it and any advice you all could give would be amazing.I Thank you in advance for your help you are all great people :0)

over the past three years i have been given so many anti depressents some are supposed to help my ocd and some are supposed to help my panic attacks and some are trying to stop paranoi, at first i hated taking any sort of tablet but now and for the last few i have taken i have got to the stage where i like having to take them and i dont think i ever want to come off them, is this because i am addicted or is it maybe because i am scared of coming off something that seems to have so much control what sort of mood in life i am going to be in i dont know
nut i dread the day now that the psychiatrist says actually i think you are well enough to come off them
i am 30 years old and at the moment i am on duluxotine for the last three months and for the last 1 month i have been taking
l-tryptophan
thank you
