although i have been to the doctors several times ( in different countries ) none of them seem to be able to give me anything that really takes the pain away. some of my joints at my finger tips are now out of shape and seems to be at random. is there anyone that has this same problem but can manage with some sort of treatment or medicine ? if so would you be kind enough to pass on this treatment , i am desperate !!!!!!!!!!

Ok, before you judge me *HEAR ME OUT*:
I am 20 years old and I've been married since I was 17!! (I know too young) FORTUNATELY, my husband & I have a great relationship and we have a 2 year old daughter. However, I've decided that I don't want any more kids. When my daughter was born, her kidneys failed and I almost LOST her! That was sooo hard on me emotionally, that I don't want to risk going through it again. Also, I used to weigh 110lbs. Now I weigh 204lbs!! Oh My GOD!! I've been really depressed since I had my daughter & at first dr's said it was post-partum depression... but here we are 2 years later and I'm more depressed than ever. Being overweight has been the hardest thing for me. I know it sounds selfish and yeah, maybe i'm being a bit paranoid about another child's kidneys failing, But I'm confused. I don't know if I EVEN HAVE the DESIRE to have more children, or I'm just trying to find an excuse to convince myself i don't want more kids. HELP W/ ADVICE PLEASE!

I reallllllly dont want to get my period on my trip and my friend gave me a pack of YAZ. i have been on yasmin previously without any complications.

Now, one of my two best friends is a hypochondriac. Although I love being with her and being her friend, her hypochondriasness (sp??) is starting to bug me. Numerous trips to the doctor, (at least once a week). Always claiming shes got a cold, or she pulled a muscle, or slipped over. Well, a month or so ago it got onto broken bones.
Last yeah, she went over her ankle while stepping of the bus. After many missed periods of school, cat scans and MRI's it tunred out she chipped the end of a bone and it had healed awkwardly. I have broken my arm 3 times myself and I know what its like. I've just spent the last 2 weeks listening to her talking about how she wants surgery and she said she'll feel "in" if she gets it. And yesterday she found out she needed surgury. Everyone at school is all "OMG ----- broke her ankle" and damn she's loving the attention. I really think I have to say something, please give me yours opinions because im just reaching my limit with this bullshit.
thanks

I've been exercising for 5 weeks now, (aerobics). I think I'm still at the beginner stage, but I have noticed I'm stronger than before.

I suffer from anaphylactic shock when stung by bees and wasps - about 10 minute delay or less. I carry Epi-pens and am never sure when to administer them. Do I use them before the symptoms start or while I am actually in shock?

Last year I went to hospital with a sting - and the doctor in A&E actually asked me when he should use it?!

I have read the instructions, and asked the pharmasist - he is unclear too.

Answers - sensible ones, please. I have done the obvious.

I do not drink Rootbeer often, but every time I drink the more common kinds such as A&W and Mug (But I seem ok with IBC?) I have a hangover like effect the next day and sometimes a mood swing or just feel somewhat lethargic and bad.

I did not think anything until it happened repeatedly, and every time I drank it I was in a bad mood the next day and got in arguments sometimes. EVERY time. I had that happen yesterday and recalled last time I drank it I felt the same way, and the time before..

Could I be allergic to some chemical or something in the root beer? Regular beer makes me sick.

Hi I'm a 26 yr old male and for the past year, my stomach has felt tight and uncomfortable. Sometimes it feels really bloated. It's so uncomfortable that I'm constantly aware of it and it makes me feel depressed and run down. I feel full sometimes even when I'm hungry, which causes me not to eat or to skip meals. Has anyone heard of anything like this or experienced anything like this? I'd really like to fix this problem!

I am writing to ask if anyone out there has been able to sucessfully navigate a state childrens mental health system to find trained and qualified help for thier traumatized child.

The child I am speaking of witnessed the murder of his sibling at the hands of his stepfather. The state wants to provide in home support for the family with a behavior tech many hours a week, but he has yet to be seen by a trauma (or other) therapist with any consistency.

I am beginning to realize that the therapists the state has for the low income are not well trained and are afraid of working with him. I suppose it may be better than working with him and doing more harm than good.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
