Because there's something wrong with my little cousin, and no one can figure out what it is. She's been to the hospital, and she's come up negative to almost all of the testing. And this is the only disease that actually makes sense. So, is it possible to have psoriasis on your face?

She has not told me what the doctors have said about her chances. I think she is trying not to freak people out. But it seems to me if it's in her blood then she is not long for this world.

I heard that you body starts burning fat twenty minutes after you start working out. What Ive been doing is this
I go 5 times a week for an hour
30 mins of elliptical or stair-master(alternate)
20 mins of stationary bike
20 mins on treadmill @ 3.5 speed

do you think I should switch it around to
20 mins on treadmill @ 3.5 speed
20 mins of stationary bike
30 mins of elliptical or stair-master(alternate)

will that be more effective?

I'm in college. I'm very shy. Whenever I try to talk to people I feel embaressed and anxious. I take meds for social anxiety disorder, but they don't help. I try talking to a therapist but I'm too shy to be honest with him. I know I would feel better if only I had a friend(s) or significant other. Please help. Thank you.

so i was at a party and someone had the idea to hypnotize one of my friends. so we all sat around and the hypnotist sat across from my friend. as he was talking to her, i kinda felt myself feeling relaxed as he told her, and when he told her she was becoming sleepy, i was too. he then told her her eyes were closing, and it was really hard for me to keep them open. was i hypnotized or in a trance or something? what was happening? thanks

I was recently prescribed a medication however I am leaving for Europe next week and might have to take this medication with me. I heard there was a new rule that you cannot bring prescriptions with you on the plane for international flights. Is this true? What can I do so I can be allowed to bring them with me?

Someone I know had this white thing sticking out of their tonsil, and they squeezed it to remove it and stuff, and probably about 3/4 inch came out. It looked somewhat like the stuff that comes out of a pimple, but turned dark and yellowish later. It left a hole, caused bad breath and caused gagging because of the smell. Anyone have any ideas what this may have been?

My boyfriend and I are 16 and have been together for two yrs. Almost everytime he comes over he gets an erection. The other he sat down and he got hard instantly. I called him and told him i was home alone one time and he got hard. I LOVE that he gets so turned on by me. Does this happen to other people?
