I've been smearing olive oil on my face before sleep for health values. I've noticed that I've been sleeping better ever since I've done that. Does Olive oil help in that case or is it purely coincidental ?

Thanks

I have always suffered from mouth ulcers, and noticed lately I have had more when i've eaten tomatoes. I love tomatoes, but i did one of those chinese allergy tests once which told me I had an allergy to them? I dismissed it, but maybe it was right! Anyone else had similar problems?

I just wanted to know if I was anorexic... I'm a 14 year old girl and since the start of the year (I weighed 60kg then), I've been concious of what I eat and about exercise. I lost 5-6kg due to that but I still feel bad about my body image and the way I look. I have a large nose and I feel if I can't have a nice face, at least have a nice body. I looked up anorexia nervosa in wikipedia and I have a lot of the symptoms - my bones creak, my period has been really late lately, my lips are chapped, I have a short temper, lanugo hair on my body, I exercise for atleast 50 minutes per day (week day), I worry far too much about food and about gaining weight from it. I'd ideally like to weigh 52 kg, but I just don't know what to do...I'd like to tone my stomach and calfs, because I feel they are fat. But if I am anorexic (judging by the number of symptoms I have, I probably am), what should I do? How should I tell my mum about this? Or should I tell my best friend or older sister? Thank-you.

So my laptop sits on a chair, and I sit on the ground to use my laptop. After using it for a couple hours, I started to feel pain near the top of my spine, and a little to the right. The pain almost feels like a burning or pinching sensation.
Why is this happening?
How can I prevent it from happening again in the future?
How can I make the pain go away?

I am divebombed every night!! I sleep under a net and sheet, I have plug in things, burning things, and a fan in the hope it blows any insects off me and fly screens on every window, I use creams and sprays but still I get bitten. Last night I got bitten on my eyelid, which is now closed it is so swollen, I am covered in red marks around the bite, which is hot, swollen and itchy. I look like I have been beaten up! Now my daughter says I look like a drug addict due to the marks all over my body!

I feel so miserable. Does anybody have any more ideas that will prevent them attacking me and give me some relief

Thanks

My 15 week baby is unable to settle, constantly fidgeting and is covered in spots. He has had the usual paracetomol and I have used calamine and glycerin cream but wondered if anyone could suggest any other helpful hints to help settle him.

Well I've been on a diet and have been excersizing for the past 2 1/2 months, lost 40 lbs so far... but throughout this whole process I've had many of the symptoms that one has when they are depressed... I would say that I was mildly depressed before I started my lifestyle change, but now... it seems that it's gotten a LOT worse. I shut everyone out of my life, I can't sleep, I am very hot-tempered, I could go on and on. I don't know what's wrong, what should I do?

I have recently discovered that, as well as lactose intolerant, I have "fructose malabsorption", i.e. fructose gives me stomach cramos and bloating. As my symptoms were getting bad, I decided to undergo a no-sugar diet (no sucrose, lactose or fructose). I can eat glucose and starch, so carbohydrates intake is not a problem.
I must have lost about 5 kg in 2 months, though! I never expected this to happen. I was quite light before (around 48Kg = 7st7lb = 105lb), but now I have reached almost skinny levels... Not that I mind too much, but why did I loose so much weight? I don´t think the total number of Kcal in my diet changed.

If you were told by the Centre for Disease Control that the person who sat next to you on the plane had the most drug-resistant form of a potentially fatal disease, knew that he was infected, didn't tell anyone, and traveled against his doctor's and the CDC's recommendations simply because he didn't want to change his plans?

Personally, I would have his bits on a plate regardless of whether or not I became infected.

i get really bad leg cramps--- sitting for a little while...only a couple of minutes and my leg goes numb and a horrible cramp sets in. ...after a while the pins nd needles set in....
but the cramps are awwful.

i went to the doctor.... (he wasnt v.helpful- never is).... he said it was normal.... bcus of arteries becoming compressed.... however i asked around noone suffers from pains like i have.....


i was reading on the net... about some salt deficiency...

anyone else have similarcramps....
you can't describe the pain maybe that was why the doctor thought it was normal... he thought it was normal numbness and pins and needles for sitting on your leg too long!

but its pain from keeping your leg stationary.....and the pain ...is like your muscles pulling taut. not only your calf muscles but all...from the buttocks.

anyone got any ideas what this can be?

Do older men really know more about how to ''handle'' a women?
I'm 22 and starting to fantize about doing it with a man in his 30's or 40's in hopes that he would be better at it...since I have learned that the more experience a man has, the better it is for me.

Ok... well I started working out 3 weeks ago... its going really great. For cardio, I walk around my neighborhood which is a little over a mile... recently I have been walking a lot more and have increased the amount of miles I walk from 2-3 to 4-5... I have lost weight also in the process. Now my question is...... if I keep on walking like I do everday... will I reach a plateau and stop losing weight?... because my sister has a fitness magazine and it mentioned something about losing all the weight you can potentionally lose throught walking... and then you won't lose anymore .... is it true?...
