Health - 24 July 2007

Hellooo! I guess I wouldn't call it straight up anxiety. I am a nervous person when it comes to meeting new people, especially when they want to get to know me. I become poorly articulated and lose focus. Sometimes I will just become a complete snob just to "deal with it" in an easier fashion. I have a great interest in people, and if I am in the right mood I can be the warmest person, and if I am not I am horrid.

It isnt just a people issue. I can't really focus...not even enough to sit down and relax. When I am in school, studying is a complete task even though I love learning. I want to learn...it's just that it takes me a long time to focus.

I did recently quit smoking marijuana after 6 years. It got old, and I am starting to feel more now, but not even nearly as much as I used to...but I am starting to be able to really think.

I do need more practices. What advice can you give me to relieve tension so I can become calm, peaceful,

My daughter is 2 years old. I took her to the dentist July 10th. She was fine. However this morning when I brushed her teeth I noticed one of the front teeth is turning brown. Does anybody have any idea what would cause this. She drinks her milk all the time and doesn't have very many sweets at all. I hate to think that she's gonna grow up with her teeth rotting away. I know kids can be cruel and I just want to protect her. Please help. If anybody can tell me anything, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!!

Because I keep catching it from him, I haven't even mentioned this to him yet because I feel it is such a selfish thing to ask of him.Are there any other ways that we can solve this problem without him having to go under the knife? Also anyone who had been circumcised as an adult, does it really make sex less pleasurable for him?

I've had severe nerve pain for about 4 years, I am on disability - I was approved the first time. That should tell you how severe it has been. T11 and T12 were severely rotated, and T10, L1 L2 were also rotated. The pain runs across the #11 Nerve - Intercostal nerve. They tried meds like Neurontin and Lyrica,they helped with the pain a lot but I couldn't tolerate either, both caused me severe side effects and I had to quit both. All they can do is give me narcotics and send me to the pain clinic - both methods are ineffective for me.I've improved a lot in the past year, mostly through physical therapy - but I still don't have enough control of pain - and I'm trying to get where I can work again. My wife died a year ago (she was 42, I am 45 now) -and I don't want to be home all the time,I want to be productive, and I try very hard.The pain along the 11 nerve is still fairly bad,and if I go off the narcotics it's unmanageable. I've gone to lots of doctors for 4 years,not much help

I don't want to be on the narcotics.

I need to know if Weight gaining pills or any other type of weight gaining supplement you have tried really puts on pounds.

If so, give the brands or a URL.

I have bad eye strain every time I look at my monitor - a SamSung SyncMAster 912N
I also have 2 Apple Laptop computers that I use occasionally, and in general I don't have trouble when I use the laptops.

I've done about everything I can think of. I went to the eye doctor - they checked me over good, they gave me eye drops and all, I tried new glasses, I tried special computer glasses, actually the monitor is new and I still have tons of trouble, maybe I bought the wrong one. I;ve played with the brightness and the refresh rates, and all that. I've done about everything. I could get a new monitor but I don't know which one I should buy. I bought a anti-radiation - anti glare screen and my eyes still hurt horribly just after short use.

what can I do?

I went to the clinic to get tested and the doctor wanted to do a gyn exam on me. He said he would do a blood test for some stds but not for herpes.

Why can't I just have a blood test done?

i used to see people sleep during the after noon and say wow how can they sleep? what a waste of life.

but this past year ive begun to sleep at 3 or 4 to 6 or 7 and i hate it

the feeling is i get really comfortable and dne i noticed getting sleepy and i go like omg this feels so good let me sleep and i do it and regret it when i wake up

i cant do this i have homework every day!

plus when i read a book i get that sleepy feeling also

BUT BUT if i am sleepy and someone says lets go eat and i go ill be wide awake again

is there anything i can do to stay awake during the afternoons?

i think walking around the house and drinkign water might help

but i gotta get the reading going and not sleep! (maybe not reading at my house would make sure im awake?)

I'm starting on the Nuvaring, but I still have about 3 weeks before I have my period (they're about 35 days apart). My husband will be home from deployment very soon & I'd like it to be fully effective by then, which would mean starting it ASAP. My doctor said to wait & just use a backup method, but I'm allergic to condoms. My previous GYN told me it was okay to start a new pack of pills between periods if you have to, but I don't know if the same goes for Nuvaring. Thanks.

I'm 13, a C cup. I'm slim, but I've had back pain. My mom said I'm not wearing the right bra and I need "heavy duty" bras, that is, bras made of thick material with full coverage, much support and au least 4 hooks at the back. Tomorrow I'll have a bra fitting, will try on such bras. I guesr they suck, are confinhng. hot and cause sweating, especially now that it's summer. But mom said I need them to avoid sagging and back pain. She's an experienced woman, but I hope she's wrong. Do I really need them?

I Read That Marijuana Can Wash Out of Your System In A Matter Of 2-5 Days But The Daily Heaver User Can BE Detected up to 30+ days. How many bowls or joints would it take to be a heavy user?

Continuous ache, it hurts to take a deep breathe, I have been having other back aches, but none this bad. I am not sure what it is, i know i should talk to a doctor, but i dont know who to talk to them about. It is centered around the middle of my back, from my shoulder blades, to my small of my back and out to my sides. Now i dont wana hear any shouts telling me to go to the hospital, or any screaming of how horrible it is and ranting. i would like real facts, and logical sense. its 8pm for me my local doctor is gone, and the hospital around here is usualy very busy. im afraid though it could be a trapped nerve or pressure on a disk.
