I read on this website http://www.umsl.edu/~rkeel/180/brain2.html that it did and I want to see if it is true. Scroll down and read the part about smoking less is more or something like that.

I've consulted a doctor who suggested it could be an injury to my ulnar nerve (funny bone). Why would it still be numb after two weeks? Do I need to become an alcoholic now?

Here's the situation. My boyfriend and I have both been diagnosed with severe depression. I have a perscription for Lexapro (20mg) that is covered by my college's health plan. My boyfriend is taking a semester off, so he isn't covered at the moment, and he can't afford to get his own perscription without it. The perscription I have is current, and I'd be able to get it refilled, but I'm not taking it. How dangerous would it be for him to take my perscription? There is only about a 40-50lb weight difference between the two of us, and we're both diagnosed with the same disorder. Is it safe for him to take it? His depression is too bad to wait until he's back in school and can get his own. Would there be a difference in the dosage? Thanks!

i'm considering ultrasound screening for carotid artery blockage and for aortic aneurysm....but I'm allergic to many of the dyes used in radiology....do these tests require injection of dye, or is it like the ultrasound they do when you're pregnant, where they just run the wand over your skin?

Hi people, I've broken my little finger on my left hand (which I've done many many times before) but this time I can't straighten it out at all, I've got it strapped to the ring finger but it's bend, is there any other way I can splint it so it's straight or doesn't it matter that it's bent??

Thanks in advance!

I only eat like 1 sweet each day since there is never sweets at my house. And its really not what I eat that makes my diet bad but its how much I eat of it!! or how much I eat period.
im a teen. 5 '1 and weigh 123 pounds. What scares me is each school year I gain about five ponds. But I want to do exercise activities to get in shape so it WILL keep me from overeating. These are some activities I like and will probably do if it will work: love riding my bike, take walks sometimes, dancing, sit-ups, jump rope.
I need to lose 10 pounds thats all, please help!!!!
thanks

I used Drysol like once and it burned so badly. My dermotologist told me that it hurts because that I shave and that will make the Drysol more painful. Will the burning pain go away after a while or will the burning occur whenever I use it??

I am getting my braces off in 10 days and I wanted to know what color retainer I should get. My orthodontist doesn't offer sparkly retainers, ones with stickers, or the clear invisiline ones. My favorite color is pink but my sister has pink and I don't want to get ours mixed up. I have heard that colors like blue and purple are very noticable...is this true? Thanks for any input!
