I find it sickening that supposedly, colorectal cancer affects people around age 60 or whatever...Yet the only cases I've ever heard of are people in their 20's and 30's.....I even know someone diagnosed with it in their 20's....What's going on? Why would these people have this cancer at such a young age??? some kind of genetic defect, or perhaps some other disease might have triggered it or what???

Are relapses like this common during the course of treatment from depression with antidepressants? Did you experience this before? How do you deal with it?

I am a smoker, plan on giving them up at the start of April and I dont eat meat,I occasionally eat fish, eat a healthy enough diet though. I am prone to headcolds and can get very tierd after a days work, I am 24 and feel like 44. I dont have any weight problems and I excercise quite often, im just sick of feeling tierd and run down. What vitamin suppliments should I be taking? is there any natural suppliments to take to support a healthy immune system?

I looked up on calorieking.com that a raw chicken breast (meat only) and @ 4oz. is 125 calories, and a 4 oz. (meat only) roasted chicken breast is 180 calories. Is this right, does a chicken breast gain calories (after adding no extra ingredients)? And if so, how come?

ive been told if you have the fat sucked out of your belly you will never put it back on and that your body will shove it somewhere else.

I'm just really tired all the time lately. I have been diagnosed with depression, and for the longest time, I did sleep at all and was a zombie. But now I'm getting about 8 hours of sleep a night, and I'm tired every afternoon and really tired every night. So tired that I feel like I'm going to pass out. Could it be the depression, me catching up on all my sleep, or something else? I'm open to any ideas.

What are the repercussions of taking vicodin long-term? I am currently taking 10/500 and my doctor said he's going to scale down my next dose so that it has less tylenol in it. Will it still work as well if it has less tylenol? Isn't it mostly the narcotic element that is giving me the pain relief? And again, what problems will arise from taking vicodin long-term? Thanks!

When i rub it or scratch they come of usually...there is a bunch of them, I don't think i have pubic lice becuase i have not had sex. The area only itches like sometimes. I think it is because I shave compltly most of the time and right now I am tanning so my skin is really dry? is this the reason or should i be worried

Most people when they first wake up have breakfast because they are hungry. When i first wake up, the last thing I feel like is food, I feel sick, and I never eat breakfast, my first meal is usually about 2 hours after I wake up. Can anyone tell me why this happens?

were you ok? I've had a general anaesthetic before so I know what to expect with that, but not a biopsy.
If anybody has had this, I'd be glad if you could answer.

I've noticed a slight painless swelling of a lymph node on my neck (I think a posterior cervical node) for a few weeks now. It's probably about 1 cm x 0.5 cm, which isn't that big, but it's noticeably larger than the node on the other side. I've also had some subtle aching around the back of my jawline. I feel healthy otherwise. I have lost about 6-8 pounds over the last 2 months, but I also started working out more and eating much more healthy a few months ago.
Being a natural hypochondriac, I assumed lymphoma and saw a doctor. I got antibiotics-no change. Recently, I had left side abdominal tenderness for a few days, which is mostly gone now, and my doctor said my spleen may be enlarged. He did a mono test, which was negative, but he said not to worry, as it was probably another viral infection, and my lymph node wasn't even really enlarged. My blood tests came back with slightly decreased WBC and increased monocytes. Should I get another opinion now or just keep an eye on it?

Im 22, and have had acne since I was about 18/19....Lately it has improving to mild at worst...Im wondering if this will ever go away? Lately I've also been noticing it's been a bit oily...more than usual...is this because my pores are unclogging? i've been using retin-a micro for about 6 months and it seems to be working decently...anyone else experiencing this at my age? when did yours finally go away?
