I'm bored and 23. I want to socialize and have more fun (not in a party sense). I want to socialize with lots of people on a regular basis. Can I join a team of some sort (say like a fitness team) or get an interesting job where there are lots of people? I want interaction, but don't know how to do that. I worked in retail for many years and quit because it wasn't furthering my other career in an unrelated field, but now I'm missing it because of how much fun I had with everyone.

Any suggestions at all?

I was recently diagnosed with type two diabetes . I am taking a pill for it twice a day but having a terrible time .My docter did not tell me much . I am going to a support group in August but I am so depressed . I feel like my life is over . I can't eat anything I like and it feels like all I do is think about food and test my blood now . Are there any sweets or ice cream that I can eat ? If I eat one bagel or bowl of ice cream my sugar level goes sky high . I am sick of veggies . What should I do ?

No Ovaries, No Thyroid. My Mom Needs Your Help.?
My mother had thryoid cancer almost 16 years ago and the doctors removed it. She has been on synthetic thyroid medication ever since. Four years ago my mother had her uterus and ovaries removed. This has completely put her hormone system into major craziness. She has gained a large ammount of weight despite diet and taking care of her body. I need someone who knows about hormonal weight gain, due to no thryoid and no ovaries. This has been difficult, and she just wants to get her weight down. Any ideas? Anybody who has had both removed??

I have had many infections in my jaw (surrounding a bad tooth) for years. I also have a HUGE phobia of the dentist, and would rather not see one at all. I have tried all kinds of home remidies to ease the pain, and the infections so far have all went away. Ive tried salt water (for drawing out infection), alcohol (also to draw out infection and numb the pain), orjels, ambisols, and advil....But i was told that an infected tooth, not treated, can spread infection to your brain and kill you. Is this true?
Also, can an infection go away on its own?

My chiropractor told me to sleep with an ice pack on my hip for three nights. I tried it last night but only made it for about 20 minutes before I took it off.

I have what appears to be a small lipoma under the skin on my forehead. It's harmless, but unsightly.

My options for having it removed without paying are slim to none. I was therefore considering doing the surgery myself.

Are there any surgeons or student surgeons who have removed lipomas and can advise me of anything I should know about self-excision of a lipoma? If I cut the skin with a scalpel (after strilising it of course) will the lipoma pop out easily enough or will it require further manipulation?

Basically how easy is this to do yourself?

Many thanks.

Hi. I have recently done an olive oil and lemon juice cleanse for my gallstones. It was successful, but I am now suffering pain in the same region... not related to eating food. It is pretty constant. My husband, a crystal healer, divined that the sphincter between stomach and duodenum has been "burned" by the lemon juice, and there is/was a "bubble" in my intestines, caused by gas being caught in the olive oil.

I did the cleanse last Saturday night, but my stomach seems very gassy and upset, and I woke up with heartburn and stomach ache (like gallstone pain, from front to back, but nowhere near as severe.... and constant, instead of coming in waves).

I also feel like I need to "go" but nothing is coming (even though I ate popcorn last night). I have been almost fasting for the last 3 weeks (just juice, water vege soup, and apples) due to the gallstones.

Are there any herbs which can help my stomach and digestive system to heal and settle into normal functioning?

My father had an operation to remove a cancerous growth 7 months ago. After not healing and then getting worse, they have finally said he has developed the super bug. There is so much info on the net but I was wondering if anyone had some natural rededies that could help fight this bug as his wound is still bad. The hospital are dealing with it but we are not happy with the progression of this. He has new anti biotics but any simple natural things that could help would be greatly appreciated, diet anything like that.
Many thanks

Three years ago, I had a CBC: WBC 3.9 (lymph 46%), hemoglobin 13.0 and hematocrit 36.0%. Only WBC and hematocrit were outside of the normal range, though not by much. I had this test done b/c I skipped 8-9 periods (no other illness, medication, eating disorder, excessive exercise, or undue stress). Even 2 months of progesterone therapy did not work, though it eventually came back on its own.

Now my new doc says I'm slightly anemic. He did a test on my serum and told me to take 1 iron pill a day. I've been taking them for about a month and haven't really felt any difference (I get randomly depleted, though I can still run long distance). I'm going back for more blood tests in a few months.

Also, my neck is usually a little tender. I don't mean to sound like a hypochondriac...

P.S. I had an abnormal liver function test a few months ago; ultrasound normal. Going to repeat that, also. I have microscopic hematuria which they will also check.
