Health - 24 March 2007

I'm out of birth control options!! I cannot take hormonal birth control due to a seizure medication I'm taking (its the only one that works), have had severe bleeding from IUDs, have skin reactions to condoms and spermicide and no matter how many times a diaphram is fitted, it doesn't stay in place and is reallllly uncomfortable anyway. My doctor says that the only options left are for my husband to have a vasectomy or me to have a tubal. we NEVER want to have kids but my husband refuses to consider any of our few solutions and says that we just shouldn't have sex.

We've been married less than a year and I can't handle years of abstinance. I'm also afraid that, based upon his high sex drive, that this will ruin our marriage because he is eventually going to look for someone else. His excuse is that we will "eventually" want a child 10+ years from now. Is there any other way to prevent pregnancy in this situation? Help please!!!

My goal is more of a swimmer build than lean beefy body builder. Do you see me reaching my goals?

My current thing I got going:

1. Workout with weights twice a week. (Have a personal trainer can only afford twice a week)
2. Do Cardio three times a week.
3. Do one arobic class a week.

Do you see me reaching my goals with this program? Feel free to comment.

Should a guitarist do binge-workouts on his upper body? I notice that after an extensive workout on my arms and chest, coordination in my hands, arms, and fingers depletes dramatically. I know this is because of damage I am doing to my muscles that work my fingers and hands. If I work out my upper body like this over a long period of time, do I surrender the coordination I need to play the guitar? I don't see many professional guitar players with muscular upper bodies.

Every time I get stressed out or bored, I feel really hungry all the time. I eat and eat and eat but no matter how much I eat I still want to eat more. Even if my stomache hurts from eating too much, I still feel an irresistable urge to eat. I'm not overweight [yet]. I'm 5'2" and about 117 lbs. I've been very slowly gaining weight and watching the fat around my tummy get bigger, and I'm tired of it. I want to have the flat tummy I used to have.

And I think about this every time I over eat, I look at my belly and tell myself that if I keep eating it's gonna get bigger, but that doesn't stop me. I feel like I absolutely have to eat (when I'm either stressed or very bored).

Please help me, I need some advice on kicking this bad habit of mine before I become just another American obesity statistic :(

ps I am 16, if that makes any difference

I have a small circular rash that appears periodically on my belly, chest, arms, or thighs. The most that I have had on me at one time are 5. They start out as raised bumps from the hair folicles. Then the gradually turn red. There is one bump in the the middle then a circle of bumps around that then another circle of bumps. The bumps then start getting dry and starting from the middle the bumps evolve into dry skin. Sometimes leaving middle yellow(depending how bad it is). Then the spot fades to a slight darker skin color. Finally it goes back to normal. The typical rash lasts up to a month evolving through several stages. Some of them are itchy or sting/burn and other times I don't even know that they are there until I see them. I have been getting them ever since I was 12 or 14 and I am 23 now. The first one was right after I got hepatitis shot, in the same exact spot. I am not sure if that has any thing to do with it.
