My greataunt died of ms she was in a wheelchair, blind and suffered alot, her sister my nan has had ms for a good few years but you would never know, she is on the drug i think its called beta interferon she walks swims drives cooks sews does pottery etc she must get tired but there is no obvious difference to when she was not diagnosed. i even wondered if she had made it up she is so well! i worked as a carer to a lady with ms who is disabled and can only move 1 arm is in a wheelchair etc i admit i know nothing about the disease but is it possible that a drug can be so effective if taken early enough? i remember a big hoohah about nhs not prescribing it cos of lack of cash but somehow she got it. her daughter(my aunt) has now been diagnosed with ms aswell and they are not giving it to her as dont feel she needs it as quite well but if she suddenly gets bad maybe she will be classed as too far gone to be prescibed? or are there many different types of ms?

If I took some estrogen, would that help to counteract the effects of the steriods? Is there anything I can do?

Please read first...
My Mom had a heart attack a year ago and has since changed her total way of living. She exercises every day and has totally changed her diet. She has cut out alot of fats, eats alot of organics and health foods and only uses olive oil. She has even lost about 25 pounds.
*She just found out today that her cholesterol is 100 points higher than it was 6 months ago.* What is going on?

The veins on my legs and feet stick out badly; they're dark and bulging. I never wear shorts, skirts, or sandals because they look so hideous, and since my legs and feet never see the sun, I think my pale skin makes them look worse. How can I make them less noticeable? Is this a medical condition?

Thank you.

My youngest sister has delt with TMJ ever since a bad car wreck years ago. She's 36 and it gives her great misery. She's been to so many doctors - she's all doctor-ed out. Prescription pain meds cause damage to other systems in the body... so she's worried about future troubles.

Do any of you dear people deal with this malady? And do you have suggestions for pain relief? (Any natural aids?)
Any recipes for more comfort in eating during a flare-up?

All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Peace!

I am a 22 years old and I take pretty good care of myself. I eat healthy, and work out on a regular basis. However, I have always been unhappy with the way my abs look. The way my body is, even if I gain half a pound I seem to gain it in my stomach. What can I do to gain more definition in this area of my body? I do cardio , 60 mins 6 days a week , and resistance traning and also ab crunches . not sure what else I should do ? thanks

I am on Prozac for OCD and I smoked pot yesterday for the 2nd time and my boyfriend said I was freaking out. I remember everything I did but I would be really crazy and laughing at everything one minute then the next I was normal and it was like I wasn't high at all. And time went extremely slow. One minute would seem like an hour and when I laughed it seemed extremely loud and it echoed. Is this normal or was it the Prozac that made things worse b/c my boyfriend said he never knew of anyone being crazy one minute and fine the next like I was.

Some people are religious, others are spiritual. I'm Agnostic: we believe that we don't know if there's an afterlife or not. Many say that Agnostics are the most courageous people; still, there are times when anyone, even the most religious, will wake up in the middle of the night and ask, "Why? What's it all about?" Needless to say, this can cause some stress in one's life. So, if anyone knows of a way to deal with this outside of the box, so to speak, I'd appreciate learning how.

I am a very clean person. Can't stand to have dirty hands. In the past month or two I developed a bump near my cuticle. It was very itchy. It went away but now I have one on my other hand in the same spot, and one on my toe. They do not hurt but do itch and are very annoying. They seem to appear over night and right around where the nail meets skin. One is a little further away from the nail. I have not been in contact with anything poison as far as I know. They are hard bumps almost like a knot, but no bigger then the diameter of a slurpy straw. They are red in color and seem to itch more at night time. The skin appears to be shinnier where the bumps are. I have tried hyrdocortisone, baking soda, benedryl, peroxide, alchol, but nothing makes them go away or stops the itch. Eventually the first bump I developed went away on its on after 4 weeks but the skin where is appeared it still itchy and still shiny.From the time the first one appeared to the second one was about 3 weeks. HELP.

I'm not sure if I'm worrying too much or if it's a sprain or anything but yesterday I was in P.E. and i tripped and fell and hit my arm really hard. When I first hurt it, I couldn't move anything from my elbow to my fingers or it hurt too much. Then, a while later, there was like sharp stinging pains in my wrist and now today it's fine but whenever I lift something heavier than my cell phone it hurts and I can move it, but if I like shake it or something it hurts and it feels like weight is being put down on it. Am I overreacting, or is it a sprain or something? My parents don't believe that it hurts and they say that I shouldn't go to the doctor, but they are old-fashioned.
