Health - 21 March 2007

My daughter is 24, and slightly underweight, as a doting mother I am obviously worrying about her somewhat. In the past five or six months, she seems to have been constantly sick for one reason or another, infections in her lungs, sinuses, ears and throat. If it is not one thing, it is another. Her doctor does not seem to be overly concerned, treating each bout with antibiotics, yet I am.

Do I have the right to be worried, and if so,
What should I do?

Thank you

I know this is awful, but I'm 22 and have never been to a gynecologist (I had sex for the first time when I was 17 and have been sexually active on a regular basis since I was 19). I have had tests for UTI's/yeast infections done at Planned Parenthood, but never anything else. When I go for the first time, are they going to give me a hard time about waiting so long for my first visit? What should I use for my reasoning?

I am strongly considering getting it done soon..over spring break coming up, so it has some time to heal...but will it enable me to keep playing the clarinet...or playing it comfortably? I WOULD get it done farther back..but would it cause a problem?

I was having a really bad day today. My mom was in surguery and i was really upset with that. During science class, i started to feel really sick. My face got all pale and started to turn green. Then all of a sudden I ran out of the classroom and threw up. A bunch of people watched me throw up. All of these people followed me and I was completely humilated. Now I'm really sick and very embarassed. How can i feel better about this???

I am 22 years old and I haven't been to the dentist in four years. I have naturally nice teeth, they are very straight and, because I take pretty good care of them at home, white. Because of these factors, I didn't think it was necessary to go to a dentist the entire time I was in college. Lately, I have noticed that my rear teeth are looking very worn down (my boyfriend told me that I grind in my sleep) and discolored, and my gums don't appear to be in great shape either. I am afraid that when I go to the dentist they are going to think I have the most digusting mouth ever. I know it's a stupid thought- but does anyone have any advice?

Can you do both the same time?
Will you be able to walk immediately?
Or how long before you'll be able to walk?

I have been repeatedly breaking out in the same exact spot for several weeks now. As soon as one pimple heals up another takes it place! I'm under a lot of work-related stress right now, so I'm sure that might have something to do with it. Any ideas how to break the cycle, aside from reducing the stress?

Since having my first baby my hands, which have always been dry, have become so dry that the skin cracks and bleeds. My husband thinks that I use too much moisturiser and am preventing my skin from self-healing and producing its own oils. Can that really happen? And yes, my hands are in water more often than they used to be!

Everything is fine with me medically, I have been to the doctor several times, I'm on top of the "Not having my period" problem and he said I should get it in about two weeks. But since its been so long, am I like, holding onto weight or anything?
