School work, textbooks, notes, etc... as well as reading online, to which I guess I have no limits or discipline... can go on for hours and hours and hours reading, cramming and cramming, and find that hours later I haven't actually learned anything, or find what I was looking for...

I am pretty happy with my body. But if there are any areas I'm unhappy with, they are my stomach and upper thighs.

Do I have to do spot reduction exercises on both, or will jogging make me lose weight on my stomach, too?

He was injured at the age of 15, and he is now 28. He leans on that cane a lot and thus has problems with his right shoulder, elbow, and wrist. We believe that if he was in the right physical therapy program, he could benefit. If there is anyone out there who has had a similar experience or knows something about this, please answer and give me some information. Thanks!!!!!

I would like to know if anyone has had good results with disease or illness by seeing an alternative health care practitioner. Did homeopathy and nutrition help you? Did any alternative modalities bring you relief from chronic symptoms?

I'm 32 and have gained about 45 lbs over the past few years. I'm a yo-yo dieter - done all the fad diets, lost 20-30 pounds, and then gained it all back + some.

I decided to do it right this time... I'm keeping my calories to about 1000-1400 per day. Trying to keep fat, carbs, sodium lower, fiber up. Eating well-balanced meals - ie, last night I had fish and sauteed spinach. Exercising regularly - walking, aerobics classes, biking. I think I'm doing everything right, but NO RESULTS!

It's been about 3 weeks. 1 week was "getting into it" (I cheated a bit), but 2 solid weeks of discipline. According to me calories in vs calories burnt (and I track everything, every day) I should be losing a steady 2-3 lbs per week.

After 2 weeks, I lost 3 lbs. Got on the scale this morning and NOTHING. It's so frustrating. Can it be that my body needs something else to jolt it into weight loss mode?

Can twins have Down's syndrome? The reason I ask this is because there is a programme on TV (Eastenders) that has a baby who has it. Usually for babies they get twins to act so that the babies get a break. It got me thinking that I have never seen twins with the condition. And if they can be twins... do both get it or does one have it and the other is "normal"?

A few days ago, I woke up with a terrible crick in my neck & it feels like I have a pulled muscle in my neck down to the back of my shoulder. I have tried heat pads, massage, Vicoprofen (a combination drug of Vicodin & Ibuprofen), & Norflex (muscle relaxer). Nothing I have done has helped. If you know of something I haven't tried, please help! Thanks.

Since the beginning of April I have had three root canals and one extraction. Each time I have one tooth worked on, another starts hurting. I feel like I'm going crazy. Dentist started a root canal last week and will finish it up next week but it doesn't feel any different. What is going on? I can't afford to keep having work done until the pain stops.

I have them about twice a year. I get this shimmery spot in my vision. It gets bigger after a few minutes until it finally disappears and then I get a bad headache. I am not sure if I should see a doctor about this or which doctor for that matter. A general practitioner or my eye doctor? Is there anything that can be used to prevent the migraines from coming back? I would appreciate any feedback form those who suffer from these and who have seen a doctor. Thanks!

It hurts pretty bad still and it's been almost exactly 48 hrs since it's been extracted. I don't smoke. I have a funny taste in my mouth as well...I've had extractions in the past, but I can't really remember how long the pain lasts for. I am terrified of getting a dry socket! So, is that what's happening or is the pain normal after 48 hrs? Please help!
