I wore them a few times and my eyes have been screwed up ever since, I cant even read a label or anything. HAs anyone had this experience? How can I get it back?

i am a 140 Ib 16 year old. i would like to aim to loose 3-4 pounds a week. i'm willing to commit to eating no more than 1300 calories a day, and walking at least 5 miles a day (with some jogging here and there) ; OR doing soccer for an hour plus a 30 min switchoff between crunches, weight lifting, pushups and stretching - along with my 30min Phys Ed class daily. (i am also a vegetarian.) the only problem is my reases puffs cereal and granola bars which i plan to cut completely. i also drink tea every morning - sometimes twice a day. they say its fat burning.

so my questions are these:

1) with this diet plan could i loose at least 3-4 pounds of fat a week?

2) how much water should i drink daily?

3) how can i get rid of my food cravings? (minty gum & brushing teeth isnt working out so well...and spicy things make me sick. can you think of anything else that may work?)

4) its kinda hard to eat small "meals" every 3 hrs like i should cause i'm at school...any suggestions?

My five year old has been diagnosed with ADHD, Pica, Obsesive compulsive disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Personal Boundary issues, and has some motor skill problems. All of which are parts of what seems to be consistant with what I have read in books to be characteristics of a child with Asperger's disorder..... But can't get a Doctor to take a closer look... I've even asked the doctor to look into Aspergers to see if it is a possibility... no luck.... I've even ran into a few problems of the phycologist not wanting to take a serious look because they want to blame me for his problems because I refuse to put him in public school system, I homeschool him because the public school system did more harm than good. Any suggestion to get a diagnosis or on how to treat his problems the same way they treat an Asperger kid? I've heard the earlier the entervension, the more good it will do. I need advice because I know that it is Aspergers and not just all these other things...

I've had some pretty bad health problems recently. I got a stomach flu that never seemed to go away so I've been vomiting after I eat or drink just about anything. I'm terrified of doctors but have gone through some tests. The problem is that about 2 weeks ago I got an infection in my lung. The doctor put me on medication and after taking it twice I broke out in hives. I had the same reaction with two different medications all of which I have taken without problems in the past. Then today I attempted to eat a strawberry and my mouth and tongue swelled all up and I've now got blisters in my mouth. These are all things that until very recently I've tolerated just fine! I'm so confused and afraid to eat anything. What could be causing this? Please help.
other info:
- 16 year old female
- enlarged heart ventricle due to stress from weight loss
- 4' 9" 78lbs (lost a lot of weight with the stomach problem)
**This isn't in my head I even had a psyc. work up done**

Sources state that above 25 is probably overweight issues. I don't really feel confident with 23, should I go down below 20? Or am I better of maintaining this number?

Usually later in the night, I will be laying in bed and my eyes are watering. My husband has noticed a few times and will ask what is wrong or why I am I crying? I am not crying of course. What causes this to happen?

A few weeks ago i skipped the "inactive" week of birth control because i didnt want to have my period this month (I was going camping...) Ive done this before with doctor approval.. so i didnt think twice.

Anyways, It worked for a few days but about 5 days into the second round of "active" pills.. I started having my "period" and its lasted 11 days...... (usually its around 5)

Ladies... obviously if this continues i need to see the doctor.. but has anyone ever experienced this? Did i just mess with my hormones so my bodys freaking out? Should i be worried? At what point should i call the doctor? Guys, if you read this... i warned you...

Ever since I tried shaving my pubes with my own "man" razor about 8 months ago I got razor burn ALL over. Most of it went away but there were still a couple spots that kind of are like pimples now. I found a new "lady" razor recently and used that and realized the difference, but still have the pimples. I have tried applying my own medicated acne cream, and not shaving at all to reduce irradiation but nothing is working. Please suggest a way that I can rid of this and keep it away in the future. Thanks
