Health - 24 June 2007

Hi, I had a root canal that went south and now the tooth needs to be pulled. I'm horribly afraid of the dentist and I cannot even will myself to make an appointment. Not only that, but I do not have insurance coverage to get sufficient care. The glands in my neck and collarbone are swollen and I have a ceaseless ringing in my ears, they are probably infected as well. If I'm to have the procedure done I would like to be put under for it. Or at least unaware/sedated. Any suggestions?

My goal is to go to Med. school. I finished my freshman year in college with 100 hours of volunteer work. My duty was to direct cars where to go in a parking lot in Los Angeles. After the car paid, I was supposed to direct them where to park, since space was limited.

Next im going to volunteer at a hospital. Is this too much volunteering or is it just right? Not that I dont enjoy helping people, its just that I dont want the people who review my application to think that someone with hundreds of hours of volunteer work must be crazy or something like that, but is this ok? Or what would you advice me to do next after volunteer work at the hospital?

Just with a mobile number, googled it (some times appears if its a 'scam number') - but it isnt.
Didnt t recognise the number, have tried to search it and nothing comes up.
Called and it was voicemail (and a woman) - left a message to call if they needed to speak to me
No callback - but keep getting the email still
have had previous problems with my ex calling me so dont want to ID my call.
Once or twice maybe a mistake - this is happening loads.
Have ignored it until - how does this anonymous mail get your email address? How can I stop it - its freaking me out.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Does running too much and eating a low calorie diet make you lose more muscle than fat?? Because I used to be so athletic and strong, but ever since I started to watch what I eat, I lost weight, but I can hardly jump as high as I used to or sprint as fast as I used to! I mean I slower than practically everyone on my track team now! help...and how fast can I get the muscle back!

Had some blood tests done a few weeks ago. The doctor said if anything "serious" came up he would call me. He scheduled a follow-up and he would review the blood tests then. The appointment is this Thursday.

I get tired and lazy spells. I dont know what it is. So hes checking my liver, chloresterol, and heart, and my thyroid through these blood tests. Oh and my blood sugar LOL! I'm only 15 and sound like a 50 year old guy talking.

My dad is convinced that he has lice. I have been reading things online about it for months now and I don't think it's lice. He claims that he can feel them biting and gluing themselves to his head. He's spent hundreds of dollars on treatments and I'm really concerned that he's wasting his money. He bought a magnifing glass and picks stuff out of his hair with the combs and looks at it. He thinks he can make out the shape of bugs in the gummy scabs that he combs out. I've looked at these "lice" too and I think it's just scabby material.

I have looked up almost every other parasite for your scalp and body and nothing seems to fit. I keep telling him to just let the scabs heal and they'll stop itching but he refuses to give up. I think it might be a pride thing.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this feeling of bugs crawling on them. It's not dandruff, psorisis, eczema.
I've been reading about morgellons it sounds pretty close except there are no fibers.
I'm confused.

My friend has Genital warts. He went to the store and bought wart medicine ( the kind you put on your finer, or knee) and applied it to his penis. Apparently the warts fried and fell off. I don't think this was a good idea...what could happen? Infection?

Currently Im a 34yr old female, 5'10", 161lbs., 24% body fat.
I have been working very hard in the gym and with my diet for 12 weeks straight, and have gone from 33% body fat to 24% (yeah!). Anyway, I've heard so much about "plateaus" and Im concerned that it will happen to me. My goal is to be at 15-16% bfp by Aug. 20, 2007. Is this realistic, and what are your suggestions for achieving this goal?? Thanks in advance!
