Health - 14 May 2007

OK last night i started getting a stomach ache, I thought maybe it was just from eating. I took some Tums and the pain kinda went away (but I'm not sure if i was just having the mentality because Tums usually work for me.) The pain came back and i took 2 more. It didn't stop, I went to bed with an ice pack and put it on my stomach, then my back started to hurt, I put it on my back and then my stomach urt again, I gave up on this I took some Motrin and went to sleep.now when i lift my right leg the side of my stomach feels like someone stabbed me. CAN THISS BE APENDOCITIS?!?!?!?! FOOD POISONING WHAT??? and FYI when I sit down the pain goes awayy

Okay so anyway i was lookin in the mirror looking at me in a dress, when i saw my butt; i thought it was a yeti! so anyway, whats a diet where you don't have to go on any special diet with the low fat foods and crap like that, and you can stay home and lay in bed eating a tub of ice cream? or better yet, a big tub o' lard.
~please help mi and mi fat yeti rump

I am 15 years old. I weigh approx. 200 pounds. My height is 5' 10".

I have done some calorie intake calculators online, but they seem to differ a bit so I thought I would ask here. I was thinking for my weight, I should be around 180 lb as a healthy weight, no less because of my height. What do you think?

I have a rare disorder called amelogenesis imperfecta which causes my teeth to break off and is very painful. I donot have any insurance. My doctor has me on vicodin for the pain. I cannot afford to go to the doctors for a visit every time I need a refill as I have to pay full price for every visit. I cannot eat due to the pain, so therefore I can't go without pain meds. (Ibuprofen & other otc donot work I've tried) I was told to try online pharmacies as they donot require you to go to the doctors. Is this legal and is it legit. One site I was on quoted $85 for 120 pills, which is cheaper than when the doc prescribes them. If anyone knows anything about this I would greatly appreciate your imput.

I need some help from someone who has experienced this, if it's possible. :)

I was diagnosed as being bipolar about 4 months ago. I have been severely clinically depressed for about 8 years, so I've been medicated for a long while. Anyway, my question is...if you come off your meds do you experience paranoia? Like, convinced that people hate you or would like nothing to do but hurt you? This sounds crazy, even as I type it, but I'm trying to figure out if these feelings have something to do with my meds (Lexapro & Wellbutrin), or if I just go through phases like this every once in a while. I'm insecure anyway, so that's more of what I'm asking. Is it my meds or is it just plain old insecurity?

My husband has H Pylori, he has Helidac for treatment but has not started treatment yet. His Dr. said treatment can make you feel really sick. What were your symptoms before treatment and how did your treatment go? Is treatment always recommended?

I found the masses about a month ago and still don't know what they are. One doctor say's it's tumors and another calls them large masses that could be cancer. My mammogram and ultra sound did not pick this mass up because I have density in my breast. The MRI is not covered on my insurance because the mammogram and ultra sound come up clean. Doctors seem to drag their feet.

Okay, so I'm not fat by any means, I'm thin-to-medium. So I don't need to lose weight. But I AM a lazy slug and a couch potato who eats far too much junk.

I would like to finally get my butt in shape. Anyone know where I can find a simple, easy-to-understand, yet specific program to improve my health and conditioning (and maybe even tone up my body some)?
***I'm the kind of person who needs structure, so I'm looking for something that will tell me exactly what exercises to do, how often, at what points I should be increasing those exercises, etc.***
