Is there a vitamin or mineral that helps with unsteady walking?

I think it could be taking vitamin B12 that can help, has anyone tried and tested it?

Has it worked for you?

Its called Desogen, has anyone ever tried it? or had any experience with a monophasic pill?? Thanks!

I went to our health clinic today to get tested for UTI and I have it, they determined that, but I also had an abnormal amount of blood in my urine. I don't see blood when I pee, when I wipe I get some traces of blood in my discharge, but none in my urine, which makes me wonder what could be causing this amount of blood in my urine? On my culture stick, the blue meter that measures the blood was a very dark blue, darker even then the last color on the graph that the nurse was using.

I was just wondering what could this mean?

I took 6 Lupron shots in 2006...the last one was in Dec '06. I gained about 30 pounds. When I was on the shots I had lots of side effects. I could not walk for long. Dizziness. Lack of concentration. Hot flashes. My main concern is the weight gain. Being over weight brings lots of unnecessary ailments along with it. Please suggest how I can get rid of these extra pounds.

i gained most of the weight in my face and legs, and my stomach sticks out sometimes like i'm pregnant. (this is because i've gained no weight in my breasts and my collarbones still are visable.. as well as my shoulder bones)

i would like to get back down to about 120 pounds instead of 130/135. can i do this in a month since i gained so quickly? i will probably resort to crash dieting since i've lost my energy to go to the gym, my legs feel awfully heavy and my ankles/feet look swollen.

this is all a result of calorie restricting myself for two years and finally going on a binge-crazy 3 weeks.

I know that I'm supposed to start taking the pills after my period, but I'm extremely irregular (hence the pills) and was supposed to start my period at the beginning of the month, but I havent. Should I just keep waiting to start them?

i have been on loestrin 30 for almost 5 months and i thought it had settled. but i am in the middle of my 3rd packet which i have taken without a break in packs and i'm gettin worried about the period like cramps i've been getting - they are fairly bad for being unnaccompanied by a period and my breasts have had sharp pains. i was wondering if anybody else has experienced similar symptoms

but i'm only half way through my current pack so i shouldn't have cramps. i also never used to have these side effects from the beginning
thanks

even when they're just asking a question about their health? Like ways to smoke that are healthier and what some effects are of tin foil etc; and they're looking for a credible source.

Seriously, everything I've read here theres been pretty much at least 4 people saying 'NO DRUGS ARE BAD DONT DO IT' and they throw in some random health problems like lock jaw or cancer, when their is no common link to either.

I'm 14 and I'm 5'1. I wouldn' be worrying BUT I've been that height since I was 10! I swear, really. I really don't want to stay that short because I want to be tall. The thing is that my family is short- my dad is the tallest one and he's 5'6. I also asked my doctor if there's a chance I could grow taller (since she noticed I haven't even grown an inch) and she just said something quietly.
Is there any way I could atleast grow to be 5'7 or 5'8?

I have heard that it is not good to eat products that use parts of food that have been un-naturally seperated... like soy protein isolate and soybean oil- is this true?

About an hour ago...that I have HPV. I am scared out of my mind, can't stop crying and I don't know how to help my boyfriend. He wants to know how it affects men and if he, for sure, has it. I am going in Thursday for my appointment and will know more then...but right now...I can't stop crying. I feel so bad and horrible because I don't know what to do or how to feel. I don't know how to make my boyfriend feel better.

Please...anyone...only serious answers please, I'm already freaking out as it is...please help me with any answers you can give me. Especially about the male and how I can make him feel better, somehow...I doubt I can.

I have no way of getting to a gym and is much more conveniant for me to do exercises at home due to not much time to devote going to a gym. If anyone can point a few good exercises that I can benefit from as I would go to a gym, that'd really be helpful and lessen my hassle of looking online for them. Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm giving blood this Sunday, for the first time. I read that you should not smoke the day before you give blood, and not the rest of the day, or something of that nature. Will it make me dizzy or something? Because I really want to give blood, but I smoke a pack every day or two, and I would rather not give up smoking to give blood, but I will if I really have to. What happens if you dont give up smoking for the time period?

I know I need to talk to my doctor about this, and I will, But first I want to do my own research. I've read all about the procedure and the risks and the benefits but I really want to talk to some people who have first hand experience. I want to know how it felt, if it was worse or better than they thought it would go, was it worth it, and if you have or have not experience complications. Please tell me about how it went and would you reccomend it to someone.
