Im 22, not overweight but not particularly active. Some nights I can't get to sleep because my legs ache. It feels muscular and i feel the need to stretch my legs out (although this never makes the sensation go away). I can usually sleep after taking ibuprofen, what could this be? PS this does not happen every night

My sister went to a mental hospital and every time we try to get her out they say she does not want to go. The lady at the hospital said she put a 72hr hold on her because we said that we wanted to get her out of their facility.
Then I said I thought you could not leave unless you were homocidal or sucidial she tells me that you can also be gravely disabled. I need help trying to figure out what are the possible was to get her out.

I was recently getting jealous of the female orgasm, being a virgin, taking the medias word for how intense it is. It started to get me down so I got in touch with some friends in the medical profession to get some expert information.

When I asked them if the female orgasm was much more powerful than the male orgasm, and if the media protrayals of it were accurate, they lunged at me! Accusing me of falling for nonsense and exaggerations in pornography and the media.

Apparently the female orgasm in those women who can attain it, in the majority of cases, is more or less equal in strength to the males, but lasts longer and takes longer to achieve.

They said that the media representation of the female orgasm puts stress not only on men who might feel inferior, but the majority of women who cannot obtain these over the top mega orgasms they feel they are supposed to - and many can't have them at all :(

Has anyone else found that the media exaggerates this concept a lot?

I am a 19 year old female and about 6 months ago i noticed that i had a knot junt uner the skin not visible to the eye that was in the middle of my lower abdomen! it dose not cause me any pain but i noticed that it has gotten bigger! I thought that if i would leave it alone that it would go away but it seems to have grown! It is about the size of a fifty cent piece now! Do you think that this could be something serious......... should i visit my doctor and possibly have an x-Ray and labs or do you think that it will eventually go away!!

Thank you for all your help!!!!

Or just outbreaks in general, not necessarily painful. Between a girl having her period and her partner having outbreaks, I am concerned by how often sex will have to be avoided. I know it is different for everyone, but would appreciate examples from people that have it or whose partners have it. Bad examples or good, please share!

I was brought to a psychologist to talk out some problems. The first session, she asked me a series of questions to be turned into an evaluation of my mental health (to see if I'm at risk for anything, I guess).

Example Question:
Have you had trouble sleeping within the past month?
Possible Answers:
Alot of the time
Some of the time
Not alot of the time
None of the time

So the results came back and I did not have any conditions, according to the evaluation. Now, I think I may have held back on my answers. I've been severely anxious and depressed lately, and don't know why.
Is it possible to share this with her or get re-evaluated?

I heard pot smokers talking about pain pills being bad because they are a narcotic. Isn't pot a narcotic?

I have a twenty year old daughter who is Bi-polar. She is not correctly medicated and stays on the manic side for the most part.

A little background first....She spent about 6 years in foster care after she started hurting her baby sister. We didn't yet know what was going on with her; she wasn't diagnosed yet.
The entire time she was in foster care I was behind the scenes ensuring that she got the help she needed and not falling between the cracks of a not so great system. when she was committed they called me to sign for the meds, etc. I was always there even when she had no idea that I was.....

Today she is barely in control of her bi-polar although she is functional for the most part. Along with bi-polar comes a tendency to spend spend spend $$$. She had asked me to help her with her money the beginning of this year; like a payee, after she had racked up several hundred dollars in over draft fees. She had over $1000 in savings just before she moved out a week ago....

ok, so i am going to start walking on the treadmill i just purchased one for my husband who is training for the police acadamy and so i wanted to start using it. now i was thinking of doing it early in the morning b/c i have heard that it gives a boost in your metabolism, but then i figured why not do it at night instead maybe around 6 or 7 after the entire day of all the food and stress, would'nt that be a bit more relaxing? i just wanted to know peoples opinion on it, does it really make a difference what time of the day you work out? i want to make sure that i am getting in all my meals and i want to have it at a timely basis. like have breakfast,lunch & dinner at a certain time everyday. please if anyone can give me their opinion.. thanks

My little sister is 12 going on 13 and she weights 160 pounds but she is really tall i guess u can say she is 5'8. What do you honestly think... do you think she is fat and overwieght. Obese. Just right. Or underwieght (which i really doubt she is).

Well she wants to go on this crash diet u can say. She is planning on starving herself or making herself throw her food up. I keep telling her not too

So do you think that she is overwieght so she should? Because no matter what she does she NEVER can lose the wieght for some reason.

I'm 18, size 36E.. and very unconfident because with my size. I feel i look bigger because of the size of my breasts.
I've tried losing some weight, exercising... to see if they would shrink as i lost the weight but since doing so (exercising..etc) i've been getting extremely bad back pain, seems to be in the centre, down my spine.. it just hurts too much so now ive had to stop the exercise, and well... it seems i'm stuck...
I'm seriously concidering getting a brast reduction, not just because of my back pain (which i am sure they are the cause for), but for my confidence as well!

I was wondering if anybody knew how much a smaller exactly they allow you to go? (if you're given a choice)
and also if anyone has had a reduction themselves, has it helped you, have you had any regrets doing so???

THANK YOU
