Am I am terrified of pretty much everything: diseases, death, loneliness, other people who I feel are not safe, being alone. And when I'm not scared, I'm either sleeping or feeling bored and empty. Why is this happening? And its not like I'm fat and ugly and people dont like me; I'm a model and my friends go out all the time, but i'm never in the mood or I'm scared to go out because its getting late.

Okay, when I first started menstruating I had extremely regular cycles (like to the hour)...then in my late teens early twenties it started to become irregular...I wouldn't always get it every month. I went to the health center at school and they ordered all kinds of blood work. My doctor told me I was borderline on two tests-one with my thyroid.(One point away) She said that she just thought I wasn't ovulating. She acted like it was no big deal and since I was young and in no situation to even think of having kids I didn't worry about it. She put me on the pill to regulate my cycle. Now, years later, I stopped taking the pill. It took a couple months before I got my period again. Now it is irregualr again and I haven't had it in a couple of months. I'm married and am not trying to have kids right now...but how worried should I be?

I'm 20 years old, and almost everything causes me pain. I mean, the ordinary things we do are painful to me, or the things that shouldn't hurt that much, really hurt. For example, opening a sealed bottled water or soda, the cap hurts my fingers so i have to have someone else open it for me. Or tickling, it hurts me, doesnt tickle. My stomache hurts about 50% of the day. I've gotten used to it, so i dont let it affect my day. Am I just being a wimp? or is there something wrong with me?

I got a really bad sunburn on my face almost three days ago, and it has been starting to peel. I am wondering if anyone knows how to make the peeling go quicker and to get rid of all the dead skin because right now it looks really wierd and is many different colors. I'm not sure if I just have to wait it out, or is there something I can do to get rid of the dead skin yet not damage my face.

I am on 3 new meds that make me feel very shakey and dizzy in the morning when I wake up. These meds are an anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxer for my back and neck and an anti-depressant for post partum symptoms. Today my doctor told me to drink a cup of coffee in the morning to balance out the effects of the meds and also not to drink fruit juices such as apple juice or sweet juices. He also told me to switch around the times that I take my meds and skip days on the anti-inflammatory. Should I listen to my doctors recommendations and has anyone experienced anything like this before with medication after pregnancy? I find it strange to be told to drink coffee and not fruit juices.

I'm working on my abs, trying to develop the six pack and the impressive V that the ladies tend to like. I'm already starting to show definition in my upper abs, but only when I flex.

I do a lot of jack knife exercises with added weight. Any other exercise suggestions.

High reps, low weight I heard will give you definition faster
Low reps, high weight i heard will give you bulk (something I'm only looking for in my extremities- only looking for definition in my abs)

Also on diet. I consume a lot of calories through a weight gainer shake. One serving with whole milk gives me 990 calories and 50 grams of protein- 5 grams of fat.

He spends at least $4500 a year on vitamins and herbal remedies. There is no rhyme or reason to what he is taking, but he mixes about 30-45 different herbs together in a vita mixer, shoves them in capsules and takes 15 of them a day. This includes echinacea, diminia root, milk thistle, some kind of bilberry root or something, and I could go on and on and on.
Where do you think he got this crazy idea to take all this stuff every day. He thinks it is going to make him healthier and has it in his head if he doesnt take them, he doesnt feel well. I am afraid he is going to kill himself with herbs.
Do you think he is nuts or does he have some valid points taking thousands of dollars worth of herbs every year?

I am wanting to get a reduction. I have been having lots of shoulder pain, back pain and its hard for me to exersize. I have complained about it to a few doctors and they documented it for me. I have had MRIs done on my back and I've had a few shots in my back for the pain but those made me break out. Anyway my Doctor told me he thinks it would be a good idea and gave me a name of a plastic surgen to call. Which I will do tomrrow. I have GHP and my doctor says if we documant it really well the insurance will help pay for one. Has anyone ever had one done if so was it resently. Did your health insurance help pay for it? If so did You have GHP or does anyone know on average what persentage the insurance will pay for?
