Health - 1 May 2007

I lost the amount of weight I wanted to plus some, and now I'm technically underweight (5'4" and 98 lbs). I feel great about my body and the way I eat, but am becoming more and more anxious about food. For example, I know I'm going out for lunch on Thursday and have basically been planning all my eating around the fact that I'll be going out. Or that my boyfriend gets home for the summer soon and I know we'll sleep through breakfast and lunch, but will go out to eat every night for dinner. I was never like this before, and just want to be able to accept that I am fine and make eating a casual part of my life again. How can I stop caring so much and get back to my normal life?? (eating what I want, when I want, trusting myself to eat well which i do). i don't want this consuming my life anymore.

I am scheduled to have my braces removed in about 6 weeks. My brackets are clear, glass-type of brackets (ceramics?). Last time that they removed a few brackets to reposition them, it hurt greatly. I felt as if my teeth were going to come out right with my brackets! And the scrapping of the 'glue' hurt almost as bad. Is there any special trick that my orthodontist can do, or some kind of spray, or a 'glue softener/melting' product? I remember that the nurse 'solidified' the glue with a blue light. Thanks!

yeah, i'm pretty skeptical about it but, my friends dentist told her that if she smiled or showed her teeth in the tanning bed that it would whiten her teeth-since the ultraviolet light is the same that the dentists use for teeth whitening. i asked her one day if she was whitening her teeth and she said no and told me what her dentist said (they did look a little whiter). so, as i asked before, can the bulbs in a tanning bed whiten your teeth?

I have always worked out and yes, I have gotten sore before. But lately, I have been working out like crazy and my back - from mid spine to the base of my neck and subscapula and lats are VERY sore and when I stretch that area -- there is a popping sound - mostly around the scapula area. When I've gotten a massage once and she heard that, she said it was a knot of lactid acid or something -- could the same be true here? I also feel a slight cold coming on -- do you think it is related? I tried researching this to see if toxins were perhaps released or something...can someone please help me understand what is taking place in my body?

I had a dear friend who answered a previous question (thanks). I am still a bit confused. Doctors said that my heart and lung is in good condition. I had: chest x-ray (airway and/or pulmonary hyperexpansion result), ultrasound (liver enlarged - otherwise normal), ct (mosaic attenuation pattern noted), another ct (airway disease resulting in mosaic perfusion).
I have pain (big) in my chest toward left side down to ribs, back pain mid and lower back on left side, lack of breath, tiredness, I sleep above normal, gain of weight, depression, swollen in various parts of my body including leg, feeling of shrink sensation on my left lung and spleen, left chest and abdomen cramp. My question?? Please give me your opinion? I need someone to give me some guidance so I can study and learn about my problems. It seems that Doctors are taking their time to draw blood and other tests but not conclusion is made other than say that it is muscle problem.

Thank you

I am almost 16 years old and stand 6 foot 1, 160 pounds. I would say i was kind of a late bloomer, as i hit puberty when close to turning 14. My dad is a little over 6 2, my mom 5 7, both tall for their gender. I want a good answer about how tall I will be. Many people say 6 2 because thats my dad's height, but I havent even finished puberty yet, and am only 15. Does anyone know a way to predict height accounting for sexual maturity/puberty?

I have been wanting to be a dentist for as long as I can remember. Before taking the just jumping in I worked as a D.A to see if I liked the work which I did. However somewhere I fell in to the world of design and fashion and have also been working for a BA in marketing. But now the dental bug is calling me back and I know I want to go in to dental school and eventually be an OS. I am just worried though that my all my hard work towards a BA in Marketing is going to go to waste and I have to go back and get a BS in science. Should I worry, or is the fact I have worked in the industry going to help. I also have the reasoning that they do not teach business in dental school. What do you all think?

I got a 2nd degree burn from a motorcycle on my leg. I went to see a doctor and he said it was healing pretty well. He gave me some ouchless pads to put on it.. and some ointment. I was wondering if I should keep covering it.. if it is a big deal if I don't? I just don't know what is good or bad to do while it is healing?! help!
