I was sharpening my knife and when I finished and went to put fold it back in, I shoved it into m finger so it cut diagonally into my finger, so basically it's all skin that got ripped up and it's bleeding at the base of the slice.

I'm really scared about the possible lifelong side effects I have seen people describe (hair loss, join aches, sexual dysfunction, liver damage). I'm not worried about the minor effects that typically happen during the course of the drug, however I am very concerned for my health (yet really want my acne to subside). Can anyone offer me any advice?

i got confused over what diff people told me.

i need to know what is the best way to diet.. is it low fat? low carb? low cal? or all of the 3.

I need to lose weight, but some told me that if i eat low carbs, it wont work simply because body wont burn cal enough, so store as fats.

SO THEN.. what is the best way to lose weight? eat 1100 cal a day? or 1500 a day? or 1300cal a day?

if i eat low fat / low carb but still snack on fruits when im hungry..followed by 2-3 hours / 3/4 times a week exercise.. will i lose wight?

My son is 10 and quite overweight.
(Yep, I know that's a bad thing. No, we aren't junk food junkies. Yes, we need to increase our family's activity level and we are working on that.)
He has gained 11 pounds in 2 months (approx a 10% increase)! Took him to doc for check up. Kid is also tired. No other obvious diabetes syptoms. Tested thyroid--OK. (Mine is low.)
I have heard of rapid weight gain being a symptom of diabetes, although it's unusual. I mentioned this concern to doc and that type 1 & gestational diabetes are in my family plus lots of type 2. He said that only weight loss rather than gain would be a sign & didn't test for diabetes. On the other hand, I think if I request it, he'll probably do a test.
Could this be diabetes? If so which test is preferrable for children for detecting even pre-diabetes?
Thanks in advance!

I am sick of my eyes being red. It started in February of 2006 with one eye being bright red and a little irritated, and has never cleared up. First one eye, then the other, now back to the first. Yes, it has really been 17 months. I've tried ClearEyes, Visine, and CVS brand redness reducing drops. They took the deep redness down to a pale pink, but only for a few hours. And after a couple of days, they didn't even do that. So I went to the doctors. One opometrist, one opthamologist, two different cornea specialists. Between them I've gotten four prescription eyedrops, and an 1800mg script for ibuprofren. They did the same thing as the drops, except they kept working for a little longer. Finally, I saw my rheumatologist, who prescribed me two oral prescriptions. I'm tired of taking medicine everyday and my eye still being red. I'm tired of missing a day of meds and getting a headache in my eye. I'm tired of people accusing me of having pinkeye. What can I do to be normal again?

I am 34 years old and had to have a hysterectomy. I am not taking hrt's, (we have a high rate of breast cancer in our family and I didn't want to add to my high rate). I take a natural herb for the hot flashes (black kosh), and a natural herb for the mood swings. Some days are good some not so good. One of my questions is what do I do about vaginal dryness durning sex. Every since I have had surgery I am extremely dry. I use ky but I don't like the stuff. Any suggestions? Also any suggestions on a good diet for menopausal women? Thanks in advance.

I am in my early twenties. Back when I was 17-18, I had lots of energy and could stay focused for hours on end. I went through books in days and had excellent comprehension.

Now I can barely drive without feeling like I'm going to pass out from drowsiness any second. It takes me weeks to read a book because I have to keep re-reading paragraphs due to my poor comprehension. I feel OK when I wake up (8 hours of sleep + breakfast) but four hours later I start getting tired fast.

I tried a vegan diet, raw vegan diet, lots of meat, red or white, etc.. nothing seems to have much of a difference. Raw veganism gives me the most energy but most of that energy is spent preparing the food.

Is it my blood sugar? Is it anemia? I take a multi vitamin daily
