I diet, excersise, and drink lots of water. But I have cellulite. I got it after I had my daughter and I want it gone. Any creams that actually work? I can't afford to go and get machine things on me.

I was on Zoloft for a very long time; about 8 years. I was also on a very high doseage of 200mg. I started when I was 19 yrs old and now I am 27. I strarted taking it for depression and bulimia, and I stayed on it after an unfortunate series of tragedies.
I decided to start weaning off of it about 5 or 6 wks ago for several reasons. I don't have medical insurance right now. Moreover, I may at some point decide to have a baby. I don't want to be dependent on the stuff for ever. I reduced my doseage by about 25mg/week.
I've been completely Zoloft free for 2 days now. I feel extremely tired and light headed all the time. 2 days ago I had awful stomach cramping and diarrhea. I have not been able to work out as much as usual, which is a major problem since I work as a personal trainer.
When will I feel normal again? Will my depression come back? Are there any supplements I can take to reduce the withdrawals? Will I gain weight? What can I do to get my life back on track?

Wellbutrin worried?
I'm worried about my wife, she started taking wellbutrin behind my back, and I need to know if she will be alright. I found the pills and she told me they were for sister. But, I know she is taking them. Even though her sister does take them and other stuff for major depression. but, I need to know if my wife will be ok by taking these pills. Does it run in the family? because most of her family are nut cases.

I want to know when Glycogen stores are depleted and when the body starts breaking down its fat reserve. I need the energy expressed in terms of Kcalories

Ok, I twisted my knee more than 3 weeks ago skiing. It was really sore the first week. I didn't have any problem putting my weight on it. It was just sore when I would bend my knee. It seems fine now, but sometimes my knee is still a little sore. Like when I'm sitting at a restaurant, I have a habit of bending my knees with my feet under my seat. After sitting like this for a while, when I try to stand up, my knee is stiff and sore until I walk it off.

Do you think it would be a problem if I started light running? Anyone have a similar experience?

One of my ear piercings got an infection; this is the second time this has happened, so I went to see the doctor about it. She said It's possible that i'm allergic to the earring, which is 14k white gold. My mom thinks I should get it repierced with yellow gold next time; what is the difference between yellow and white gold? And also, my other piercing has been completely fine until today (3 months after I got it pierced) I took it out to take a look at the hole, because I wanted to see what it looked like, and when I tried to put it back in it didn't really go in easily. I had to press it in, and it stung a bit which makes me think that it somehow healed over in the thirty seconds or so that I had the earring out, which sounds quite impossible. Is this because of the antibiotics that I'm taking for the other piercing infection?

I have severe acne scarring and am looking into having laser resurfacing done on my skin. I have tried looking on the internet to find info about Sacramento County doctors and have been unsuccessful. The amount of information out there is overwhelming and I'm not sure how to filter through it. I am looking for recommendations, ideas, suggestions, opinions, anything that will help. I am on a budget, a tight one, and although I know this might sound tacky, I am looking for someone who is willing to take payments and work with me.

I’m not the nurturing type at all and find this sort of behaviour incredibly off-putting.

So I have the Damon Bracket system braces for my teeth but it seemed like the dentist put them on and they hurt for a week now they're ok. But how do they work, he didn't seem to use a graph or something to decided what tooth will go where. He just slapped them on and away I went in pain.....now I'm fine and now what????

My son is 4 years old and completly out of control. He is extremely violent and hyper. His doctor had diagnosed him with ADHD, but it doesn't stop the violence. He has always been very to himself unless you know him extemely well. He has choked himself and tried to hurt himself numerous times. I have talked to his doctor and he refered him to a pych. but no one will see him beacause he is only 4. He has 2 older sisters that he constantly hurts all the time. I am really concerned and don't know what to do.

I am 36 years old. I was affected by depression in the early years of my life, probably in the fifth grade, age 10/11. On top of that I have had a auto immune disorder and deformed ankles and alot of surgeries, illness and so on. I had always thought that my chronic illness was to blame for my depression. I have sought Therapy for many many years. I reached a point two years ago that I began acknowledging that I alone could not handle this burden. I gave myself to Christ.For the first time in my life I went two years without a trace of depression or illness. SO last May I enrolled in nursing school, life was good.December 13th a hernia surgery sent me into into septic shock and in ICU.Later my surgeon said he had not expected me to make it at all. Split open 13 inches and waking up in ICU on a ventalator was traumatic.The last three months the depression is back. I am discouraged. I do not want this illness, how do I accept it? I had to pull out of school due to surgery. Im lost?

Hi, over the past 2 months i've been experiencing terrible stomach pain and the only relief i have is lying down for about 45 mins until it calms down. I've taken an ultrasound and blood test but all results have come back negative...also my doctor said i may have an ulcer however i don't have any symptoms of an ulcer such as vomiting, blood..etc
My stomach seems to only hurt whenever I'm eating a meal and it forces me to stop because of the pain. Another thing is that i don't believe it is related to gas because I've already taken stuff like "ENO" and the pain hasn't stopped nor is it stress because personally i dont have much to worry about.I dont have any history of health problems,i'm in very good shape and i'm 15 years old...Do you think it could be "Duodenitis"...wat are your thoughts?
