I fell of my bike yesterday and grazed up my hands pretty bad,
I wiped the area clean with alcohol and pulled out all the gravel, and then got some gauze & bandage tape and have taped up my hands, and then re-applied clean gauze and tape this morning, they hurt quiet a bit and the skin looked pruny from being taped, should I let them breathe a bit or keep them taped till they heal?? (the pressure of the tape stops the grazes hurting so much) any adivce would be much appreciated :) thanks

And the pain is extending from my knee and halfway down my shin.
1) What is going on with the knee. What should I do?
2)Might this be permanent?
Thanksss

Does PCOS affect sexual activity?

I was trying to research online and I found a site that said it was possible for sex to be harmful if you have cysts at that time, because they can rupture.

I was curious as to whether or not this was true. It was the first I had ever heard of it.

Well I'm 23 female, active and eat a healthy diet, although the past few days I have been eating out almost every meal. I wouldn't say I'm constipated but I'm definitely not regular. The size and frequency is not what I would like it to be. Is this normal for someone my age or is there something possibly wrong?

I am determined to get shredded, which my nutritional plan is at a peak for performance, all I am needing is the necessary tools to engage in the physical activity. Mainly, a workout.

I currently do a workout as follows

Bench
Squat
Deadlift
Powerclean
(add full body movement), etc etc.

I usually pyramid up to 5 and do 2 sets with it. I throw in working sets on days that I dont feel so strong such as 3 sets of 12-15.

After reading various articles, I want a workout that will blow the intensity off the roof. Now, I live in an apartment and use the universities gym which mainly has machines, some free weights, a track, an aerobics room, and cardio machines.

I've watched video of Mark Twight and his Gym Jones and am amazed. There is nothing around here like it. I want to grow to that level, but I feel I am thwarted thanks to my lack of equipment.

HELP!

About 3 months ago I broke a thermomiter in my bathroom sink. I dont think I got all the mercury out ( I called poison control and they said just clean up what you can, open the windows and shut the door and that its nothing to worry about). I threw out the thermometer in my trash outside and cleaned up what mercury i could find. I keept the door shut and window open for 24 hours and dident use the bathroom much for about a week.

But the odd thing is: I have anxiety disorder and get a lot of odd symptoms, recently I have had symptoms similar to that of mercury poisoning that im pretty sure are related to anxiety (Chills, tingling, ETC.). I had 2 sets of blood tests done and a urine test done (Not because of the mercury, but because of something else) about 2 weeks ago.

Could it be possible that I have dangerous levels of mercury in me? Or would have the tests picked it up?

Ive heard that you should eat 4-6 fruits a day if you are trying to gain weight but mypyramid says I should only have 2.5...
Is 4-6 fruits too much sugar, therefore I should stick to 10 ounces of whole grains instead of replacing some with fruit??

I started taking Yaz in Dec. 2006. Since that time, I've experienced a multitude of strange symptoms: anxiety, palpitations, extreme fatigue, lumps in breasts, painful breasts, cystic acne, heartburn, swollen lymph nodes. I connected these symptoms with Yaz, because I never had any problems of this kind before I started taking it. I seem to have something new every day, and it is driving me crazy.

Prom is coming up in about two months. So I really need a jump start diet that will allow me to lose weight quickly and then work from there to lose more weight. After the quick fix diet, I'm going to run everyday, body sculpting, and follow a healthy diet with plenty of water and fruits. How much weight can I expect to lose in two months? I'm not overweight, but I want to be in the best shape. So please, let me know about a quick fix diet (i.e.detox) and any other tips. Thanks :-)

I stopped vomiting today but now, everytime I cough, my body starts to hurt because i have a lot of mucus in my stomach/throat. How can I get rid of it? I blow my nose but it doesn't really come out. I can feel it in my throat and my stomach.
