My son came home from school with all sorts of teeth hygeign samples including some of those new colgate disclosing tablets. Unfortunatly there was no instructions on how to use them. He is bugging me to let him use them. Anyone know what to do with them? I am guessing let them disolve in warm water and swish with them maybe?

I was reading about growth hormones given to dairy cows and this being harmful for your body as well.

Stupid Question, I know, but hear me out.

My mind goes in a hundred directions at once. Always has been like that. I have a hard time relaxing, and I'm not sure if I have ever done that. Even if I sit to just chill out, I have a hundred things to think about. I do like to do Sudoku puzzles because it brings some sort of pleasure but it still requires me to think. If I sit and watch a movie or tv show, I fall asleep out of boredom. If I do watch a movie, I have to crochet, read a magzine or work on a crossword puzzle at the same time. When I go for my walks, I have to wear headphones or I will get bored, and I listen to music... but then I always have something on my mind and I have 'conversations' in my mind about things that will be coming up, etc. I am worried that this constant activity will burn out my adrenal glads, and keep putting cortisol into my system. Long term that's not good.

Any suggestions on how to relax? I can't meditate without my mind going on and on.

This time last year I had a nice body and weighed 118 lbs. because I was working two jobs and was constantly moving. I now weigh 140 lbs. because I've slowed down a lot since last year and quitting smoking didn't really help. I'm on a strict workout schedule: I do three sets of ten push-ups and crunches (increased by two every week) and walk/power-walk/jog on my treadmill for 30 minutes to an hour every night after dinner. I'd like to have a nice body by the time my 21st birthday comes around on May 16th and thought a dietary supplement like Hydrocut could help. My boyfriend sings all kinds of praises about it as he has taken it before and it helped him out a lot. He says it's the only pill he'd approve of me taking for losing weight and gaining muscle. Any thoughts?

If so, how did you start the healing process? What signs did you have that you knew you had a problem?

In 2001 I fractured my spine, shattered my ankles, and had a row of wrist bones removed. I have six bolts holding my back together. Everyday is pain for me. I refrained from asking for pain pills because I was worried of the long term side effects such as sitting in a nursing home at 80, choking on my own flim. Also, it has been hard to get around, so I didn't apply much effort. Also, 2 yrs ago, I needed them and I was rejected because I could bend down and touch my toes. Also, I thought hormones would be cool, cuz I saw the previews to the next Malcom in the Middle, and they seemed to help his physique and other things.

I have a heart condition and i might have to go into surgery soon. On the back of my medic alert it says: Repaired Tetrology of Fallot/ prosthetic pulmonary valve situs inversus.

I have to now get the valve replaced and my doc says that there is an "obstruction" blocking part of a main vein. This is causing my heart to work harder. I have to go into surgery and i was wondering what aree the chances that i could not get back from having my heart being taken by life support (the thingy that pumps blood for you)? Also, if i survive that is there any chance i could die earlier than a regular human? I am kinda scared and i need help PLEASE.

It seems all I hear about Lexapro and other SSRI's is sexual side-effects, anorgasmia, etc! I just started taking Lexapro. Does EVERYONE have sexual side-effects? It would make me feel better to hear from anyone who has taken Lexapro without sexual side-effects... Anyone out there? Thanks much!
