Health - 14 March 2007

I don't like the idea of being on birth control for any reason (I'm not sexually active...)as I've heard of the side effects it can have. Is there a safe natural alternative to birth control that will do the same things (he wants to prescribe it for irregular periods, cramps, heavy bleeding etc..) Oh..he is an OB/GYN..I have my exam yearly and he hasn't found anything abnormal.
Any help would be appreciated

I've had Tinnitus (ringing in my ears) for about 2 mths now. I've been told there is no cure. I'm in serious need of assistance because I'm not getting any sleep. So if anyone can help me with some remedies it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I've been told that it may be a side affect from taking Flexeril (muscle relaxant). Is this true?

I quit smoking 3 weeks ago. I am trying to lose weight all together. I have 25-30 lbs to lose to be at a healthy weight.

I walk a few miles a week and lift weights, and do toning excersises. I am eating better, beggies, fruit, whole grains, staying away from most bread,sugar and soda. I am drinking lots of water.

I do know, that since I quit smoking I will gain weight. How can I get my body to lose? Its like I am stuck.

I just bought a box of Crest Whitestrips and I've been using them for about 4 days now, and when I woke up this morning, I had IMMENSE pain in my teeth. Both hot and cold make them hurt even more and it's gotten to the point where even the air is hurting them. What do I do to get rid of the pain? Should I completely stop use of the white strips?

Ok, here it goes and please dont find this to be a stupid ? I was curious if most women shave their private area? I dont know because my mom never taught me and that is not something that usually comes up in conversation.

I have never been to a Chiropractor.
I have been diagnosed with a pinched nerve needing fusion surgery and an arthritic shoulder that will soon need a replacement joint and I do not like the thought of either one. Do DC’s read MRI’s? Can they prescribe pain killers or can they do surgery? Can they unpinch a pinched nerve? Can they paralyze me by pushing on my pinched nerve? Any personal experiences would be welcomed.

I have a burning in the back of my throat. It has been happening for about 3 weeks now. It lasts for about 10 seconds at a time and happends 3-5 times a day. I have not changed my diet at all. Really I eat the same junk that I always have. A little about me, I do not drink soda, but do drink beer, I chew tobacco, meals are usually take out or fast food.
I have tried Maalox today and it seemed to help a little

Any ideas on what it is? How to fix it? Whats causing it?

I work in a really, really isolated place - there's no one in my department right now and that's more the norm than anything. If I have no motivation to do the boring tasks I have than my mind will wander and I'll go into a depression. Can you relate?

For example, people have all sorts of cancer: breast, colon, skin, etc... Why do you think people get theses cancers? Do you think maybe because all the products we are producing or eating can cause these cancers. For example, a monkey who is similar to a human, however eats natural things does not get cancer..any feedback would be helpful

...five days a week and you see the same people there all the time? Does it make you feel self-conscious, weird, or whatever?

Should I workout at a different time instead?
