Is is possible to get an ear infection after having your ears syringed.

Also, do you have to have pain in the ear during an ear infection?

Finally, if you did have an ear infection did it affect your balance?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have these marks between my breast which first appeared while I was pregnant with my son 6yrs ago and after the birth it began to fade away but never entirely. No matter what I do, it won't go away. When the temp is hot/humid (in NYC) it usually gets darker (maybe because I'm hot?). The other day I noticed that sections of it were pealing, but its still there. Now, it's not just one small section and thats it, it's actually little bits here and there but all in that one area (between my breasts). What can this possibly be?

I'm sure I'm not pregnant (I heard woman get strange markings during pregnancy).

Thanks.

This morning I woke up and had really blurry vision in my left eye. It's weird, I try to focus, and I just see like a shakey blurry sight, where like my eye is trying to focus but can't. When I blink, it get more blurry for a second and then because just a bit more clear. What is going on? I have never had any problems with my eyes before, I am only 24. What the heck is going on?

I decided to start doing push ups, with the goal of being able to do 100 in a row. Right now I can only do 7. What is the best way to build up to 100? I was all achey last night, just from doing the 7 earlier that day. I don't want to exercise wrong. So should I do them every other day? Or should I just push myself to do more and more till I can do 100? Also, how long will it take before I can do 100? A few months?

I just got on the shot on the 25th of May. My period came a week late. When it came, it stayed on longer than usual. Usually it would only be 6-7 days. But today is the 7th day and it has not lightened up at all and I'm still bleeding moderately. How long will I expect my period to stay on?

First of all, let me say that I don't have implants - my breasts are just natural DDs. I work in a predominetly male industry, and I appear on video podcasts a lot (I work for CNET reviewing technology). I feel that my breasts are the reason I've gotten so far so quickly. And no, I haven't slept with any of my bosses or anything, but during interviews I can always feel their eyes on my chest. In short, that makes me feel really self-conscious. Would getting a breast reduction to a C or maybe even large B cup be a good idea?

Okay. I went for a physical about two months ago, and I had a concern about a lump on my throat that came out of nowhere. Then My physican told me it was an infection, and he didnt know how got it. He gave me medication for it but it didnt work, in fact it grew a little bit. Then I went back today and his *** told me that it was a reaction from my acne[[wtf]]. He said he couldnt give me any medication for it, and now I'm left with this stupid thing[[not noticeable]]...but still. Does anyone have any idea what it is and how I can get it to go away??
I dont think my physician knows what hes talking about, but I cant get a new one untill the next couple of months when my mom gets new insurance. Can u help me? Any physicans out there, or people who've had a simular problem??

It's typical of smokers to react the way you have. I did say I was a smoker so I know what it's like, to say it's the same as alcohol is ridiculous, if I drink in front of you you don't inhale the alcohol fumes or go home smelling of alochol, and yes I do wash my clothes when they don't smell of nicotine, but I don't have my coat cleaned every time I go out!!!!

Without the whole adkins diet and blablabla there is out there, I am looking to simply lower my bread and pasta intake in order to lose weight. What are some ordinary snacks besides fruits and vegetables (they make my stomach hurt) that I can eat without craving chips and bread and that sort of thing?

I have more than 50 pounds to lose so I'm gonna lose the weight quite fast.

What are the basic low carb foods out there I can buy in a grocery store without having to buy any special adkins products? I'm talking normal food .. example, pita bread is low carb, meatballs. etc?

Thanks so much!

p.s. please any referals to unknown websites about unknown diets blabla please dont post in this question.
p.s. please dont mention "gaining all the weight back and then some" blablabla I know all about that.

I am asking a simple question, normal foods that have low carb! Thanks for those who answer the question I am asking. :)

I searched for my answer and didn't come up with anything conclusive..my main question is this: Is there a certain length of time which is too long to do a cardio session after fasting (usually start about half an hour after I wake up, on an empty stomach)? I have a little fat on my abs and chest I am trying to get rid of so I have completely changed my diet and started working out. I just want to make sure there are no consequences of doing a 45 min cardio session on an empty stomach?

I used to smoke so know what it's like to be addicted, also know that you can quit, but why are smokers unable to see what their smoking does to the rest of us. I know that as from the 1st July smoking is banned in public places but it really makes me cross when smokers tell me that it is their right to smoke in front of me. Not only do I have to inhale their excess smoke but go home with my clothes smelling so much I have to hang it outside before I wash it. Why are they so selfish that they mind this ban. Would appreciate some of the smokers out there telling me why I should put up with their habit, and don't tell me that I can drink elsewhere if I don't like smoking because the answer to that is, why should I.

so stupid me decides to go out on a run last night with a pair of old running shoes and i get a blister on my foot, and today i leave for a 3 day football camp. when i was working out this morning, it was irritating me because of its nagging little pain it comes with. i need to know how to either make it go away in a few hours (not very likely) or do something that would make it less irritating during my camp. thanks
