Health - 16 March 2007

My skin is very pale, always has been. Lots of people think I'm anemic, but I've never been diagnosed. Anyway, for a few months now, I'm noticing a lot more visible veins on my body--on my arms and chest area, mostly. What I'd like to know is if the only soloution is getting a tan, and if it's normal to be able to see veins on very pale skin. Thanks.

basically i am 5.3" female and 153 pounds (atm) and 21 years old i have started trying to loose weight by changing my patterns, i havent been eating unhealthy for over a year well not to bad apart from the odd takeaways at weekend which has now been strictly cut. ok, i have noticed that people say that noone should eat less than 1200 cals a day but for example today i have eaten an apple, banana, chickpea salad, homemade veg soup and will have grilled salmon with garlic, ginger and spring onions. In my opinion i cannot see what i am doing wrong what i am eating however it amounts to 546 cals but if i hate more i think i would feel sick. i do vary my diet and most days i have all bran or alpen for breakfast, some times i have brown rice (i dont eat anything white, nor do i eat carbs and proteins together) i always make sure i have something from each food source daily.Am i doing something wrong my weight is dropping but concearned i am not eating healthy ( sorry for the essay) cheers

I have been having really bad adbomen pain in the lower right area (like by my appendix). I have gallbladder problems and i am having surgery to have it removed on March 29, i don't think it is related because this pain is a lot more sharp and lasts longer than gallbladder. I have been having it for about a day and half. I have a fever and I am feeling sick to my stomach. Any ideas of what this might be??
I am a 14 year old girl

I want to gain 10 pounds. I'm so skinny and people tell me that too.

I eat a lot, I have high metabolism so the food goes away quickly.

Any tips of what foods to eat or other ways to gain weight?

So I'm looking for a therapist (and that's the best way ever to start out a question on Yahoo!Answers), but I've already been to one who I just didn't mesh with well at all. Is there some way I can find a good therapist without blindly picking names out of the yellow pages?

its a really personal question I know. I would like to know the reasons as to why you felt like it. I face the pressure myself - no getting work - I am getting bored of the same routine of not getting work.

This is my first time using birth control pills and i am on my first pack. my doctor recommended yaz for me to start with. i did the "take first pill within 24 hours of period" start instead of the sunday start. well, i am down to my last pink pill, which means tomorrow i start the inactive white ones, which i believe are for when my period starts. is that right? what if my period doesnt start tomorrow, do i just take the inactive pills anyway, or do i start a new pack? i am new to all this, so i am clueless and dont want to do the wrong thing. any help is appreciated.

My 6 year-old is about to lose is second tooth.....so I thought. His two front bottom teeth were loose at the same time, and one of them fell out over a month ago, but the other one is still hanging on. The new tooth is coming through behind it (somewhat sideways, too). I've promised him I won't pull it & we work with it & wiggle it just about every day. It's VERY loose, it can even move from side to side, but because the new tooth is coming in behind it, we can't wiggle it in THAT direction, which normally I think would be just what it needs to finally let go. What are the chances that this could damage his new tooth trying to come in?

I am on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, and have been for two years. I am a Sunday starter, so when I am on the green plaebo pills, my period always comes on Wednesday. It is Friday, and my period still has not come. I am starting to get a little worried.

My question is, when is my period offically late? I am suppose to start a new pack in two days, so would that mean if I get it say, later tonight, or tomorrow, will my period only be two days?

I know this is a really retarded question, and I tried to search for answers from other people's questions, but nothing has eased my mind.

Is anyone on the same BC as I am and have gotten their period on Friday, or later, when they were suppose to get it on Wednesday?

Please don't tell me to test for pregnancy, I know that already. My question is, when should I? Should I wait, and if I haven't gotten it by Sunday when I am suppose to start my new pack, then test, or should I wait and see if the same thing happens next month?
