i currently rent a house that has a septic system.for the last 4 months the septic has been overflowing into the yard and under the house.i notified the health department and they told the landlord to fix it.but that is not my question.my question is

can the smell or fumes from the broken septic cause headaches and just plain not feeling well.my 16 year old daughter(whos bedroom is right over septic tank and spillage) about 2 months ago started complaining about severe headaches,tiredness and just not feeling well.whats strange is that when we go out or somewhere or shes at school she seems fine.

Is it better to lose weight and Completely shed all your fat before starting to build your body???

I want to lose weight completely and become pencil thin before I start building my body because that way the muscles that I develop will be concrete quality and solid rock hard. Whereas if I start building my body without losing weight, I am worried that the muscles will be soft, because they will be muscles mixed with fat. At the gym people say I am crazy for wanting to become pencil thin before I start building.

Are there any experts on men's fitness that can give me good advice?

I got a free dog out of the paper and the people said it didn't bite but when I got it home it attacked my husband and he had to go to the hospital because the bites were so bad. These people know they lied and won't take the dog back because it's so vicious. It didn't act like it when I got it but then it freaked out. Can I sue these people for the medical bills?

Has anyone had one and does it affect your sexual life? My doctor told me that if a gene test comes back positive for a cancer gene in my uterus, that I should consider a hysterectomy. Cancer of the uterus is common in my family. So, could you please tell me if I choose to have this done how it will affect my life and my sexual life. Thank you so much.

dear community I'd like to ask your opinion: I'm on therapy for anorex/bulimia. in the last months the purging occasions have finally became very rare (a couple of time in 15 days). however, i just can't tell my therapist when it happens, i hide it most of the times.it is already an achievment, as Ifor years I purged twice a day...but I don't feel good not being clear with the therapist(even because I think it's sure that she knows that it is possible).If I've been clear enough, what do you think? thanks to all

I don't know why some overweight people will just judge skinny and average weight people like they are the ones who are not eating correctly. It really irritates me. I understand that some skinny people are not eating healthily, but I am not one of them. I eat like a regular person, and fat people, especially fat women say I need to gain weight or I'm not eating enough. Don't they realize they have the potential health problems and the real eating disorder?

Here is my story...I suffered a miscarraige on January 5 of this year. I had a d&c performed and had a few complications following for the next two weeks. Thought all was fine until in February I went to the ER because I had some unexplained chest pains. They did all the usual tests, bloodwork, chest x-ray, etc and all came back clear and good. Went the following week to my family dr. who diagnosed anxiety. I don't argue with this as I think it is anxiety. She gave me Zoloft. I haven't started taking it because I am fearful of the potential side effects. I have good days and not so good days. Since Feb. I had had two small panic attacks and now think that meds might be necessary. I was looking into the all-natural route like a b-complext vitamin and St. John Wort rather than anything else. The newest thing my body is doing is it feels like something just wells up in my throat and Ihave a hard time swallowing. Anyone else this happen to and is it a part of anxiety? What do you think?

How do you remain cool, confident, and undisturbed by things you see/hear/read that you don't like? Some examples: an offensive joke (racist, sexist, etc.), a bad picture, etc.

I asked a question, and several of you answered questions that I didn't ask. Why can't you try and answer the questions that I asked. If you don't know, don't answer. You assume I eat junk food. You assume I haven't been to a doctor. You ignore the question about symptoms. I guess you just don't know any answers so you just say whatever pops into your mind. It's not helping.

I had my first ballroom dance lesson on Tuesday night. I danced for about 2 hours from 9 to 11 pm. I learned the cha cha and hustle. All of Tuesday I also had a sore throat. When I got home I didn't feel any aches. When I woke up the next morning I started to feel body aches in random areas all over my body. Severl times during the day on Wednesday I also started shivering due to fever. I'm thinking it's the flu. I would like to know, are my body aches caused by dancing or by the flu?
