My fiance and i have been together for 7 1/2 years...about 3 1/2 years ago he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Needless to say it has been a long hard road and the medications that have been tried only make the mood swings worse (alot worse).... I know that alot of the time he cannot help some of the things he says/does (most of the time he can't remember what he's said to me during some of his episodes). I really love him and we have a 3 1/2 year old daughter and I am 6 months pregnant with our son. But sometimes I wonder why I'm still here. I guess my questions are what can i do to better deal with this disorder? How can I help him to better deal with it? And most importantly, how do i keep myself from resenting him for things that he doesn't remember?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated...and please don't answer if your only doing it for the points.

A very dear friend of mine seems to have many of the symptoms of ovarian cancer, and I believe the harsh stress she's under at work might also be part of her problem. I can't find anything on "Google" to suggest that stress might be a factor - or a symptom - of the disease. Can anyone direct me to a web site or other data that might link stress and ovarian cancer? Thank you for your help!

I'm female, 5'8" and 130 lbs. My waist is 27" and hips 36". I don't have a big belly, it's not noticeable if I'm standing up, however, as soon as i bend, or sit, or lay it rolls over quite a bit. When I do push ups, it totally hangs! And when I do crunches or any effort with the area, my stomach potrudes too much! Most of the problem is in the area below the belly button. I've got a little bit of love handles too. I would like to get rid of those as well.
What can i do to get rid of the flab or make my stomach stay in place, or defy gravity if you will? And maybe define my waistline a little more? What exercises are recommended for this?
Thanks!

I have a couple of friends that are doing a low cal diet (1000calorie a day). We've been going to calorieking.com to get a good estimate of the calories we eat. This has made me very aware of what I'm eating. But now all the things I thought were healthy don't seem to be good for this diet. What are things I can eat for meals and snacks that will keep me at least close to the goal?

I am 19 and want to go on the pill, but would rather not tell my parents. Am I allowed to do that or would it have to go through health insurance therefore having my parents find out? Also would I need to go to the gyno in order to get on BC?? I have never been. Thanks!!

I did:
Sunday: Abdonimals
Monday: Legs
Tuesday: Back/Bicep

I am under the suspision of over training so I decided to not do chest/tricep today. I'm still debating though Someone said it'd be okay to do abs or chest. I took some protien because I thought I would lift but now im kinda undecided. It's fast digesting whey, I don't want the excess to go to waste.

I think I should stop taking the rest of the blister. But it is very weird that my period arrived like nothing in the middle of a cycle where I am supposed to wait for my next period in 9 -10 more days. Maybe it is bleeding for another reason, any experience? thank u

I was taking hydromorphone for my herniated disk and stopped because it was no longer helping me. If I decided to retry it,though I'm pretty sure it won't work, how long doe sit stay in my system.I'm in alot of pain and need to do something. I know all the basics, heat, pt, doctor,,done all of it including cortizone shots!! Nothing freakin helps! I went in to therapy the other day and the pt accidentally shocked me harder than I could take. Since then I have been in more severe pain. I need to do something...what pills have any of you tried for SEVERE pain related to a pinched nerve and siatic pain down the leg. I am thinking of taking my hydromorphone tonight to see if it will even releive my pain a tad. The reason I need to know about how long it will take to get out of my system is because I manage to get my butt out to my car and drive to my therapy appointments..don't ask how I manage,,because that in itself baffles me too.. Thank you for your help..

Ok, if you weight lift on mondays and thursdays, and swim monday-friday on endurance, would that mess up the recovery of the work out? Or would it be fine since swimming is not putting alot of stress on the muscles?

Lately I get this general feeling of weakness that I can mainly feel in my eyes, if that makes sense. Sometimes I have to think about focusing on things. Also if I move my head from side to side i can get pretty. Also my eyes always feel tired, though in reality I got plenyt of sleep. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Thanks!
