I know I won't lose this much weight quickly. I'm 64 inches tall, and looking to get down to 130-140 lbs. I would like to be able to lose about 2-3 lbs a week. And lose this much in about 6-7 months. I have 1 HUGE problem. I have uncontrollable cravings. I'm not pregnant, but I'm on the pill. What tips or free diets have you tried that works?

Life is about fulfilling every possible dream. If you feel that you have soughted every professional help there is, tried to be social and keep yourself active ...but only to be ignored, not accepted ...haven't had sex, dates etc ...what is the benefit of waking up every morning, feeling like a robot ...a machine whose purpose is to the job they're getting pay for, buying random empty things to fill a short burst of happiness ...only to get fed up of it. Is one right to claim that they don't want to live on the human plane and wants to die ...to gain true freedom ...if anybody cares ...should it be allowed ...as the pain of not wanting to live anymore is unbearable ...not to be a burden, a negative force. I believe in God ! i know it's not right ...i've always given good ...but none given back ...it eludes in a person's life ...if somebody has done everything in getting help, done it and feels the same. What is there to be done ?? It's not right to feel like this all the time is it ??

There was a drug that was typically prescribed for epilepsy, but some people were taking it for depression. They had to take it off the market a couple of years ago because people that were on it were committing suicide. Does andyone remember the name of this drug? It was in capsule form....

When my husband and I were hiking the other day, we noticed that he was sweating quite a bit and his skin was nice and cool. I, on the other hand, was not sweating a bit and my skin was very hot.

I have noticed since then that even with a hard 40 minute workout, I don't sweat much at all. Should I be worried about my inability to sweat? What could it be caused by?

I've been feeling really bad about myself and who I am for a while now. It's not depression, I'm sure of it. Maybe it's just boredom. It's because a lot of things in life haven't really gone the way I wanted or planned. And I know you can't have everything your way, and I'm fine with compromise. It's just a lot of bad stuff has been happening, and I can't help it. It's one thing after another. I think I am insecure about somethings and I don't know how to help myself. I've tried so many different places on the internet, but it's the same BS over and over. I don't feel good about myself anymore. Some of you might say it's low self esteem, but I don't think it is. I've read up on it and tried to raise it as much as possible. So I don't really know what to do anymore. I've felt so bad, I've considered taking up smoking, and everyone already says I give off a depressed look. Help me out. And please, don't give me any "you need to pray and have faith" stuff. I've done that.

He was working on his truck and ripped it open on the windsheild wiper. it's pretty deep, and a huge chunk of skin is ripped (but still connected enough to heal back or whatever) but we think part of the muscle was also ripped and is hanging out... we're putting anti-ifection stuff on it and putting a bandage on it. Is there anything else we should do? Like, put the muscle back inside, or something? Help, please. (And don't just say "go to the doctor!" Duh...)

I'm 5'1" and 120 lbs my heart rate is 92/57 and pulse is 63. I've been recently running 2.5 mi/5 days a week for 3 months now could that have something to do with it? I feel healthy, sometimes tired, but I think that is related to my blood sugar at that moment.

What would you do for a mother-in-law who is dying of cancer and lives in another state? My mother-in-law has stage 4 cancer (I think) that's spread throughout her body. She's no longer in remission, and the prognosis does not sound encouraging. What would you do for her (other than pray for her), if you knew she might only have a few more months to live? We have never lived near her, and I do not have what I would call a close relationship with her. We did invite her to stay with us over Thanksgiving last year when her cancer was in remission, which went really well. Now she's back on chemo, so I don't think she'll be up to traveling.

I'm a dental student. When we start injecting local anesthetic, I am going to do it to myself eventually to see if I am doing a good job.

Similarly, when we learn to administer nitrous oxide, I am going to try that too. I think a professional should know as much as they can about what they put their patients through and while I cannot perform procedures on myself, I can administer these things to myself and have an idea about what the patient is going through

Anyone have nitrous oxide before? Im aware of the chemical and pharmacological identities of the compound. Before I try it, I'm just trying to find out if I'm missing anything. Anyone think of anything?

Its funny to me when people on here ask for advice with depresssion and suicidal thoughts and some people just say oh just go for a run, read a book, or take on a new hobby or something or when people insult them and criticize them, and call them weak for feeling like......if you havent gone through depression you obviously have no idea what it feels like and no amount of excerise is going to change it because ive done that and it hasnt helped....its a problem that some go through for a period of time or even for years and if you havent gone through it should be very grateful just dont be ignorant and blame the person and tell them its their fault please....thank you---

They checked my thyroid, I have trouble breathing and swallowing, usually happens at night. One thing I noticed is my heart rate is really high - usually about 90/min. My blood pressure on the other hand is super low - when I was having a really tough time breathing it was 50/95...... The doctors never noted either of those things though. This started when I was about 4 months pregnant and happens 1-2xs/month (son is 18 months old now... ANY IDEAS/theories. They did a pressure test and when it was bad it was 200 when 400 is good or something and a few days later is was 360.... they did chest xrays and a further breathing test - test the pressure and then with a steroid and there was no change... Now i was referred to a ear, nose and throat doctor! ANY THEORIES?!?!?
