i have been to several doctors, one just said it was an infection and gave me some ear drops, when that didn't work i went to another doctor and he said it was eczema and gave me some cream, that worked at fist, then a week later it stopped and the pain came back, another doctor told me to use the same cream again, and another doctor said it was just a reaction to the chlorine because i used to go swimming a lot.

I'm not a doctor so i cant say, but i don't think it is eczema and it is still here even though i havnt been swimming for about a year. it is a stabbing pain, and half way down my ear canal it is blocked by something that isn't there in my other ear. sometimes it 'leaks' this gross yellow sap-type thing and occasionally hearing is hard in that ear, and everything sounds like when you are underwater. have anyone any ideas about what it can be.

I'm 5'6 145LB and i wear a size B bra. I do have a bra that's an A, too. Is there a way i can make my breast bigger a little that is safe and doesn't involve ice cream(people always tell me to eat ice cream) or surgery. the weight i gain goes to me butt, hips, and theighs, not my breast. What can i do? I am also trying to diet and exercise to lose some weight.

I went to the gym a few times last week. Not even 20 minutes into the workout I began to feel very light-headed and almost dizzy!

I have about 60lbs to lose and I am not in great shape. I am pretty active (I work at a childcare center and am very active with the children, i also have many young siblings who i play with when out of work)

Usually when I go to the gym its after a long long day of work (8+ hours at a daycare) ... I drink a LOT of water during the day AND at the gym.

Today I am going to the gym after work and bringing a small snack with me for the ride to the gym. I am bringing 4 whole wheat crackers and a small box of rasins. Is that a good 'energy boosting' snack that might be able to help me with this?

I went for blood work about 2 months ago and everything came out just fine. I have a doctors appointment in 2 weeks where I will discuss this with my doctor. In the mean time - i have to work out. What can I do to keep up my energy?

OK this is weird. 3 weeks ago I started feeling nauseated constantly. After 5 days, that went away. The next day I started having this weird, constant hunger-like feeling that would not go away no matter how much I ate. It took that 8 days to go away. I was completley fine for about 5 days and now the nausea is starting again. What could be going on?
I'm 14 and my mom seems to think it's stress-related so she won't take me to the doctor.

I have friends who just have abortions like they are the latest fashion. Some complain of nightmares and some just feel guilt. But the majority don't really care. I on the other hand have a daughter who I love more than anything. So abortion wouldn't ever be an option for me. When they ask me for advice I always tell them that they have to lie with it whatever the decision is. So my question is how do people you know who had abortions feel about them and those who didn't feel?

When I woke up this morning, my right foot was aching so badly. It's like this throbbing pain between my big toe and the second toe. I wasn't wearing flip flops yesterday or anything that could have aggravated the area. When I looked at the bottom of my foot this morning (between the big toe and 2nd toe), the area was red, and I felt pain when I touched the area. Even with my foot elevated, and not touching the area, it still hurts. When I run my finger over the area, I can feel a slight hard bump that isn't raised enough to notice it unless you run your finger over it and apply a bit of pressure. What is this? I can hardly walk, because it hurts too badly.

I am overweight, but working on it. I go to the gym a LOT - I am a gym RAT. If only my eating habits were as easy to get a handle on.

Anyway... when I am in the classes, I get really self conscious. I can't always keep up with the rest of the class, and when I look at myself doing the exercises in the mirror... I always look really big and awkward - especially next to the thinner people around me.

I don't know why, but I am always worried that the people around me are thinking "Oh my God, what a fat cow. She can't even keep up with the class." or "She's huge... she needs to come to this class more often." - stuff like that. I just want to hide in some corner or be invisible.

Do you think that about overweight people at the gym? Or do you think more along the lines of "Good for her for doing something about it."
