I am 5'3 and weigh 120lbs, but I want to weigh 100lbs. Is it possible to lose that much weight by the end of September? Keep in mind I don't want to take any diet pills or starve myself. I am willing to exercise and eat properly.

Are there any pain-free ways to get out a splinter? The one I have is pretty deep, so I cant see the tip of it.

If there isnt any pain-free way, is there a quick way????

My doctor told me that she can only prescribe for me to pick up 3 packs at a time, but my insurance company may only allow me to take them one pack a month....What difference does this make?.....Either way I am going to pick them up for a year - 12 packs. What's the point?
The only reason I want them all at once or at least 6 or 3 packs at a time is because I only got one pack in June after I was prescribed and I ended up not refilling it on time ( I am forgetful), and had to go this whole month off of birth control. With my kind of luck and clumsy absentmindedness, I will only end up being on birth control every other month for 2 years if I have to pick each pack up individually every month! Not only is that a pain in the @$$, but what if I miss my refill date for some crazy reason like this last time.

Just wondering ?

I have the money to pay for it, so I don't need the insurance to cover it..But the medical forms ask for that information, and I don't have health insurance yet ?

Does it matter ? Can I get the surgery without it ?

i work , near by . ( just part time ) although i have an engineerin degree (got it 7 mos ago), i don't have any motivation to find a job in that field yet ( since it was imposed upon me , when i wanted to do something related to music ) .
i don't know what's there to do after coming back from work . I have some friends , but i am going thru some shi##t right now i can't even think straight . After getting out from work at 6.30 i feel so sad and bored and depressed , i go for a ride myself somewhere . i just got out from a relationship ,Why it hurts so much is because i didn't want anyone till i was atleast a litle more older. But i trusted her to be there forever and she left ( cuz of family problems ) . Now i feel so alone . what are some things that i can do or you do , after work to cheer you up ?

please don't tell me to come home . because there is noone home i can really talk to . or do anything with . We don't talk .

What can i do to forget everything , atleast for a while?

too many kids are on meds for ADHD. yes some truly have ADHD but the vast majority of kids given meds are kids whose parents are never or seldom around. the kids act as they do all day and then the parents come home and wonder why the kids don't act the way they want them to act, so they put them on meds and claim their kids have ADHD. these parents need to spend more time with their kids, teaching them how to behave, demonstrating to them how to behave. Instead the parents come home after a long days work and expect peace and quiet. They get their P's and Q's by giving unnecessary meds. Parents need to be better parents!

I am the owner of a website that sells pharmaceuticals from India. My question is: Where is the best place to advertise my website in the USA? I'm living in Europe and don't know how to market my products in the USA. I've asked this question a couple of months ago and got only stupid answers. Is there anyone out there who cares about all the poor people in the USA that DON'T have health insurance?
This answer was voted best answer when I asked last week. It doesn't even come close to answering the question!!!!!!:
I would talk to an attorney about that. As far as I'm aware, it is illegal to buy prescription drugs from other countries. There is probably a lot of regulatory red tape you'll need to cut through, even if there is a loop hole.

Since the fee for a discount plan is not technically an insurance premium, does that mean I can use my HSA funds to pay for it? Or is it still considered an HSA unqualified expense?

I broke my ankle 3 weeks ago and it was put in a cast. Today, doc took cast off and gave me a walking boot, told me to use crutches and put some weight on it, and do hot/cold foot baths. He said bone has not yet fused but it is in the right place. So why would he put me in a boot? He said something about swelling and circulation in calf. Does this make sense??

I told an older friend of mine that I was going to shave my head. My hair is naturally curly and during the summer gets very hot. He told me if I shaved it, it wouldn't grow back as curly as before. I think it might be just an old wives tale, but I need to be sure if it will/won't happen.

I have had an office job for just over a year. My fitness level has dropped since then and I have gained some weight. It has just started to become noticable and I would like some pointers on how to loose it. I have tried excercise routines, but I have trouble staying with them because I am the only one doing them. I eat healthy since I am at high risk of developing diebetes. Anything would help.
