Shouldn't fat people be sent to concentration camps for a couple months? In Doc Phil show, he once said that quote "you don't see any people in concentration camps."

If you are a fat person, would you be willing to do that? I think it would be a pretty cheap weight loss program where you don't have to pay for it but work in manual labor there for the time there.

I think that I may have the herpes type 2 virus. For the second time in three months I noticed a bump on my genital that was very painful when I wore close fitting jeans. I stopped having sex altogether because I do not want to affect anyone. I went to a gynocologist, but she told me that she couldn't see anything and for me to come back if I get another one. I am really frustrated and I need to know now! Isn't there a blood test that can be performed to find herpes?

According to all of the health websites I go to I am considered average based on my height and weight. I am 5'6" and weigh 138. Is that too much to weigh? I exercise usuall 4-5 times a week for 30-45 mins. My main problem is I don't eat a lot of "real food" because I like to save my calories so I can eat a small blizzard from Dairy Queen. I seriously eat D.Q 5-6 times a week.
What I really want to know is do people who do not know me think I am at a healthy weight, and does any one know any ice cream places that have a low fat ice cream but doesn't taste like it? My favorite food is ice cream, but because I don't eat right I have low iron and low blood preasure. If some one can just give me some low fat or low calorie desert ideas it would be greatly appreciated!!

I just started wearing tampons a couple months ago, and every time I change it, blood gets all over the applicator and half of the string. I have to wear a pantyliner or else the blood on the string gets on my underwear. is that supposed to happen?

I do clean it up before I put it in after I take it out and im pretty sure I have it in all the way because I never feel it.

but sometimes when I put it in, it just stops, like there's a wall, and I move it around because I know its the nerves or whatever but I still can't find it or something so I just push it in harder?

I don't know, im kind of confused.

I would love any help.

I like to think I have taken pretty good care of my teeth in my 41 years. Growing up I didn't go to a dentist with any regularity, to my embarrasment. I had braces for nearly 4 years getting them removed just before my senior year of high school.
My first filling was when I was 33 and apparently was fairly deep though he was confident of not getting into the nerve canal.
My current dentist has taken X-rays and has attempted a fairly convincing argument for having a RCT done. He has shown me the films and told me about the gray shaded area being the (alleged) abcess.
To date I have had nothing more than a 'sensation' when I bite down on that tooth and have not had ANY form of pain at all.
He claims if the nerve has died there will be no pain because of that fact.
He took more X-rays yesterday and tells me it 'looks to be worse than last year.' I looked at the films and the bottom of the tooth was not even visible! Another X-ray was not much better! Is he "drilling" for money??

I have long heard people say that by losing a significant amount of weight, the length of the penis will increase. Now, I'm no doctor, but I know that aside from stretching with weights or getting expensive surgeries, there is no way to increase penis size, period. No matter how much weight a man loses, it cannot add extra skin and tissue that was not there before.

So is this all a myth? Or is there some truth to it? And if it's true, well, how? When people say it, are they meaning to imply that by losing weight and the overhanging gut that usually accompanies it, you are generally able to use more of your penis than you had before, making it SEEM longer now that more of it is workable?

Just trying to understand, and I hope a medical professional or someone who can explain it to me in those terms will answer.

Thanks!

I am thinking about going on Xanax again for severe sleep deprivation ,


I will take LESS than even .25mg the LOWEST dose given I split this in two


Is this a reasonable dose. because I have been on it before and it works just not this low of a dose


But I think less than .25 mg (.12.5 mg) is more than reasonable and very safe

Since the supporters of vaccines = autism have been getting their collective behinds handed to them since the Autism Omnibus trial started a couple of weeks ago, I am left to wonder - what will now be blamed for their children's condition?

I am happy to see science prevail and at the same time, illustrate the absurdity of their "desperation for compensation".
Of course, when they lose, they'll go to the conspiracy well one more time and claim that big pharma now runs the judicial system.

Will we ever reach the day when autistics are respected and not trotted out as objects to be pitied? Will we reach a day when they are looked at as equal human beings - not mysterious beings for society to hang its prejudices upon?

I hope I'm still alive to see that day.

In the meantime, a new "cause" of autism will no doubt emerge. I wouldn't be suprised if its blamed on global warming - just like everything else we can't explain.

What are your thoughts?

I came to San Francisco from Europe few months ago. It surprises me that temperature in San Francisco can be 20-30 degrees cooler than any places across the Bay or Golden Gate bridge. So cold, I can't get a tan in June-July !!!!

The questions is - I'm new here and have no idea where are these beaches across the bridges ??? I don't want to drive too far and I want to make sure I will be able to find parking. All I need is the beach about 30-40 minutes away, but I'm stuck looking for it. I'm not into nude beaches, thought.

Please, help !!!
