Now she is 19 and has barely half of the hair she had before. Its still long and pretty, just thin. She really cant do anything with it as it falls out fairly easily. Does anyone know how she can regrow her hair or make it stronger at least? Why did her hair get so thin anyways?

When my son was diagnosed at 3 months old the doctors told us that the cure was in sight. That they were so close to having a cure that the CF Foundation was on a month to month lease in anticipation of not being needed any more. That was 12 years ago. So where is the cure?

I was homeschooled growing up,and my work was never sent in, so I don't have a diploma. I need to go and get my GED, and then start college, but I'm too scared to even try for my GED. People tell me I'm smart but I dont feel it. I feel like if I go for my ged i'll fail miserably, or that college will be too hard for me. Right now I have no job, no future, no anything.

But even knowing that isnt enough to get me to go and take the test. I dont want to be a loser my entire life but thats exactly where i'm headed. How do i get the motivation and the courage I need? Right now I feel helpless, and useless, and worthless. I dont want to feel like this forever, but I really think that if i went to take the test for my ged, I'd fail, and that i'd probably flunk out of college or something. I also have severe social anxiety so the thought of being around a lot of other people every day scares me to death. Please help....I dont know what to do anymore.

went again to the dentist and he removed the old filling and put a new one. After only 2 months the new one split in two and started hurting again. I went again and he put a new filling in. Now several months later that whole area is extremely sensitive and I cant eat very hard foods on that side. Also, it aches from time to time still. Should I remove the tooth or what? Its hard to always be forced to eat on one side of your mouth. The gums get sore and tender from the constant assault(lol).

I'm always thinking about people who live in nightmare circumstances in undeveloped countries. People who starve, people for whom it's normal to pass a limbless corpse in the path, people who have to sweat for hours in the sun for a wage that won't even buy lunch in America.

I can't imagine these people having "anxiety attacks," or "self-confidence" issues.

When I think about how priveleged I am to live in a civilized nation, I just feel more inadequate, and worse about being depressed. *sigh*

Umm... Unfortunately, I ate a massive bowl of mac & cheese and now it has made me bloated and given me terrible gas. Tommorrow I have to go to school; although I'm not necessarily sick, just sort of lactose intolerant (and egg intolerant, however u say it) and I dread sitting in a crowded classroom for six hours in my current state. I "let one rip" every two to three minutes and I can feel how bloated I am. How can I speed up this to guarantee a no gas school day?

I was told that (and am not sure if it is true) whatever exercise you do in the day the calories won't burn off until you are asleep, therefore, the more sleep you get the better, as far as losing weight is concerned.

The question is "What would you do if you found out your boyfriend posted a personal ad?
I found it by viewing the history on his computer. What should I do?"

I am getting a lot of good answers, but basically everyone is saying the same 5 or 6 different things. Why do I then, still keep posting it? Am I obsessing? Am I looking for sympathy? Validation? The right answer All of the above? My heart is breaking and I can't tell him cuz he's out of town and I don't want to spoil his vacation with this!HELP
