I used to take oral mezalazine as I have Ulcerative Colitis, but after I realised that they were the cause of my severe headaches I had to stop. At that time I had a bad back too and after stopping the mezalazines the back ache eventually cleared also.

After a year or so my doctor wanted me to try Pentasa Suppositories that have mezalazine in them. He said as they are inserted in the bowles where they will act directly on the inflamation I would not suffer from the usual side effects assosiated with the oral medicine..

However, since I began to use the suppositories, I have been having regular headaches again and what I have found to be most odd is that I have the bad back agai too.

Could the mezalazines really have been the cause of the back ache? And are they the reason I have headaches again?

I know I am not fat. Closer to fat than skinny, but still.
I am 5"3, 110 lbs, and with 90-68-90 measurements. This may not sound fat, but people call me "truck" "fat", and I don't know...
I know I should love myself, and that the rest will just follow. I saw this show on MTV, and there was this girl about twice my size but she was all popular and stuff.
Yet... I don't know. I want people to say "she has a great bod' " and stuff. Don't tell me "do more exercise" - I used to do 4 times a week at least an hour, now I'm down to 3 times because my grades began to drop.
Am I really that fat?
Should I become anorexic? I love food so much...
I live as healthily as possible. Water, veggies, the whole package.
I know what I SHOULD do. Leave it alone, focus on other things, leave "being hot" to other people with adequate genetics. But it really hurts. I am not a stupid girl, I know this is empty stuff that won't give me joy anyhow...
Any thoughts?... Please, no "gimme a break" etc..

During the winter, I was working outside in the cold at night and I went into a booth at a parking lot with a space heater to get some sleep. When I woke up, my body felt stiff. I went home and fell asleep. When I got up to go back to work, I couldn't move. I was so scared because it felt like I was paralized. My neck wouldn't turn, my arms were so sore, and my thighs were very painful. I eventually was able to get up from my bed with the help of my friend who I called. I was really scared something happened to me. I couldn't afford a doctor's visit so I tried to ride it out. After about a week, I felt the same. Everyday i would take a hot bath and just wrap myself in a few blankets to stay as warm as I can be.

Eventually it passes. it took almost two weeks to not feel any pain or stiffness. Has this happened to you before? If so, what did you do?

I've only seen a dentist, orthodontist, regular doctor and a chyropractor. Is there some other doctors I should see and what should I see them for?

I've been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts for years. More recently, this has included self-injury (cutting), mild manic episodes, extreme anxiety, dissociation, and very detailed suicidal fantasies. I cannot do my school work, I barely make it out of bed, I can't think or concentrate.

To put it in a nut-shell, I'm so sick it's going to be terminal if I don't do something. And, for some reason my will to live has been kicking in, in the form of dread over what I'll become if I don't change soon. So, I resolved to call someone tomorrow and get a referral and actually follow through with consulting someone.
The problem here is...I've made this same promise to myself many times. But, often the next day I'd feel better and convince myself I didn't need it, or just be too scared to pick up the phone.
What can I do to give myself an extra ounce of strength beyond just DOING it? Please, any advice is welcome. Any success stories? They seem to help a lot. Thanks

I Have never smoked, nobody in my family that I am real close to smoke either. I have been craving a cigarette for 2+ days!!! I know I am not going to let my self get addicted to them so thats not a problem (getting addicted to them is not). Should I just go ahead and smoke 1 or 2 just to get the feeling over with? Because I know I wont pick it up full time. Or should I just put myself through all this aganizing emotional pain and waited a few my weeks for this to pass? ( Deep in my mind I really want to just try a cigarette but I all confused) Please HELP!!!

I'm looking for the different contraceptions to aid my family planning, be it pills, injections or patches. However, at the same time I do not want (if possible) to experience any side effects eg weight gain, hormon imbalance etc. It would help if these pills are also available over the counter.

I am 50 and play golf once/twice a week. In the last year I have had lower back pain and find it difficult to get out of car seats and sofas etc. The pain isn't really there when I play golf though... At home when I sit on the sofa I have a cushion supporting my back and have taken to using just one pillow in bed. Over the last year it seems to have deteriorated a lot. Could this be golf or something more underlying, maybe bone problems?

I have been getting a very sharp pain in my upper right chest area. This pain travels from the bottom of the breast area to the collar bone, and sometimes to my shoulder blade, but is the worst right below where the shoulder meets the collar bone. The pain lasts for hours at a time and happens maybe every week and a half. What could this be?

Okay so I've just about tried everything from neutrogena to proactiv, but nothing seems to work. I have sensitive skin that is also oily, and no matter what products I use they dry out my skin, which causes more oil and thus leads to more breakouts. I have even tried using the products once a day, and I still end up peeling and still getting acne. Does anyone have advice or a really good product that wont dry out the skin, and control acne and excess oil. Please help me.
