Health - 26 May 2007

Hi, I'm an adult with Damon 3 for almost 18 months. 3 weeks+ ago,I was instructed to use rubber bands to move back my lower set of teeth. I'd used them faithfully. Few days ago, I was then told to include another set of bands to bring the top & bottom teeth verticaly closer.

Now, I notice that my lower set of teeth have started sloping downwards from left to right, giving me a lopsided appearance! My orthodontist has verified that I've been using the bands correctly, but says that several braces on my lower teeth will have to be repositioned. Is it normal to have to reposition braces at this point of the treatment?!!!

I _need_ to have diabetes because my doctor won't let me have Byetta just for weight loss. Now I know everyone who answers this is going to say, stupid fat person should just eat right and exercise. But it doesn't matter how perfectly I eat, or how much I exercise. I've already tried more diets than you can imagine. No, really. I've tried that one too. Yup, and that one, so don't bother telling me how I just haven't done enough of your version of eating right and exercizing. I just need to know how much longer I have to keep shovelling sugary crap into my gullet before they will let me have the Byetta.

My 4 year old son has been behaving differently for almost a week now. It's mostly behavoral and eating changes. He's usually an extrememly well behaved child, just a wonderful boy that never needs correcting. This past week he has not been able to contol himself. He will have several fits in a day, he's grouchy, angry... This is all unusual. I also noticed he's hungry all the time now. He's skinny for his age and it's usually a real stuggle to get him to eat anything. Now this past week he's saying he's hungry non-stop. He'll eat all his breakfast, 3 to 4 times more than he usually would have and then still say he's hungry 30 minutes later. He's also saying he's tired 'all' the time. He has been like that for as long as I can remember... sometimes fatigue others hyper. I'm very concerned this may be a medical issue after his behavior tonight. He was going from fit to fit and was 'crying' about food even though he had a huge dinner and snack. Does this sound like diabetes?

I'm on week two of the patch and 21mg. going down gradually as it says I'm feeling good. I tried Chantix for a couple of weeks but the dreams were unbearably bizarre. And I smoked the whole 2 weeks on it... although I would recommend it since it cut my pack a day habit in half in only 2 weeks which made me believe in myself enough to try to go for it and quit on my own so.... I went without anything no patch no cigarettes for two days for 2 days and I was a NUTBALL no sleeping.... irritable.... insatiable appetite... Buut then I decided to use the patches the state sent me I think every state provides them now (smokefree.gov)... and I have been MUCH better only I'm concerned about once I hit the day that I am to be patch free I don't know what I am going to feel? Am I just post-poning the real withdrawl or what or am I tapering down and making my withdrawal smoother? Any insight out there?

I'm 17 and when I was 13 I was in a pretty bad car crash and hurt my back. I was told I shouldn't be alive, let alone walking.

My physio said that I've also something wrong with my iliosacral joint (hip and tailbone). My doctor told me it could be to do with the increase in hormones because I'm a teenager.

I find it painful to walk, sit, lie down, well pretty much do anything.

Has anyone had this sort of problem before and what have you don't to help reduce pain and etc?
