basically i don't like sweets so the only things i like to drink are beer, soda water, tea, coffee, and diet pop. (plain water is good too, but a little boring) most of those drinks are caffeinated. recently i've been drinking a LOT of tea, although i rarely drink coffee (which is delicious), and i wouldn't dare take those caffeine pills. i know people addicted to caffeine and they have bad bad headaches---something i do not want to have to deal with. am i flirting with addiction by drinking too many caffeinated beverages too often?

I just recently switched from hard to soft lenses. The thing is though... Is it okay when the lens flips inside out?? I can't tell. Will it affect the prescription or possibly damage it if i wear it incorrectly??

Hi,

I have had a problem with fluid retention since about 15 years of age. In the morning I wake up and my legs are normal, by the evening, they are swollen to nearly twice their size. I can literally feel them swelling throughout the day. I am prescribed water tablets but doc does not like me taking them all the time but I cannot get through a day without them! I look like a freakshow without them. I never ever eat salty foods - I hardly eat because I am so scared of the swelling and no matter what I eat - they swell. I tried drinking more water, kept this up for about 4 months and the problem did not cease in the slightest. What is wrong with me? I can't even go out at nighttime because none of clothes fit me once I have swelled up. It's not uncommon for me to weigh in at 51kg having eaten small amounts and taking a tablet and then weight in at nearly 56 kilos the next day after eating standard meals and not taking a tablet. I can't live like this!!

I am on nutrisystem which is working, but I am impatient and I would like it to go a little faster. Is there a pill or supplement I could take that will work with the nutrisystem and help me out? I know there isnt any miracle workers out there, but if you could also tell me a good way to slim down during and once I lose the weight? I dont want to add muscle I just want to be slim and tone. I have Pilates, Billy Blanks Bootcamp, and a Bowflex....but I dont know how to use these things to make me slim without gaining muscle. I am 5'7" woman age 22 and need to lose around 50 pounds. Please help!!!!

OK, I quit smokin. Now I'm turning to my food choices.

I want to work in more organic foods. But it is expensive so I need to acknowledge that I may never get my kitchen completely switched over, so where do I spend wisely?

Which are the most important foods to eat the organic variety? (I'm assuming besides your fav, most often eaten foods)

Which are the cheapest or most similar in price to the regular?

Are ordinarily healthy foods worth switching? Rolled oats and long grain rice, for example.

Are organic junk foods really all that good for you? I saw Newman's Own version of Oreos...had to laugh, of course I bought them!

Any other trickery welcome!

PS--Your organic stories pro and con are welcome too...what can I expect from small and large changes?

Hi, i've always been pretty regular with my periods, give or take 1 or 2 days....my problem is, i was expecting my period around the 28th of March, its now the 1st of April and nothing. My boyfriend and i have messed around, but no intercourse, and im pretty dam sure after he ejaculated he wasnt even close to me....anyways i really dont think i could be pregnant. Im just worrying a bit.

2 weeks ago i was quite sick for about 5 days, couldnt do anything, and in the last 3 or so weeks there has been a lot of tension with family problems etc. and i was really stressed out about 3 days before i was expecting my period, the point is, can being sick and some stress delay my period ? how long do u think it might take to get back to normal ? i've pretty much gotten rid of the stress factors now, im just waiting for my period to come, maybe im thinking about it too much,

any help would be great, thanks.

As in "How can I loose weight?"

I see this a lot, not just a few random typos. One recent question had "loose" in it three times.

Is this a symptom of a failing public education system?

If you find something hard to handle, a situation, what is to blame? Isn't that a sign of depression? So is it you? Or is it the situation?

When I started working out, things were going really well. But recently, my muscles have actually started shrinking! I've started working out more and more but it hasn't helped. How can I fix this and start gaining muscle again instead of losing it?

My daughter is 17 months old, and I know its normal for moms to worry, but I feel like mine is way out of control. I'm always worried about my daughter. Everything horrilbe that could happen to her, goes through my head. I work, so i'm not able to watch her, and it upsets me so bad that I can't eat, I cry, my stomach starts cramping, and my chest starts hurting. Even when i'm at home with her, when she falls asleep I look at her and think about how she has her whole life ahead of her, how am I going to protect her? I just feel so scared..so so scared ALL THE TIME. We're going on a plane trip to visit her family at the end of April and I am so terrified to get her on that plane. Please somebody help me with some advice or support. I just took a Klonopin to help me calm down ( They were prescribed to me after I passed out at work the first time)

My boyfriend seems to like to have a drink(s) every night. He also has plucked out all of his eyelashes, armpit, pubic, and chest hair. Are the two related in some way? Or does he have two issues that need to be looked at?
