I'm a 17 year old guy and I think I'm being sexually harrassed by a guy at school. I don't want to say what he did here, but could somebody- a guy- email me if you know something about sexual harrassment?

After taking the much controversial acne drug "accutane" I saw stunning results in the clearness of my skin, but a noticeable problem with the way I was swllowing food. It gradually became more hard to keep food down and I was becoming very concerned. After getting an endoscopy done the doctor told me that my esophogus did not need stretching and nothing was wrong from what he saw. He prescribed me a drug called "protonix" which I take once every morning. He told me he thinks im not creating enough acid. Well I have been taking it for about two weeks and I have not seen any improvement at all. Its been months since I remember eating a meal or let alone any type of food or liquid (even water seems to get stuck) without having to gag myself so I dont choke. Im a 16 year old male and I weigh about 125 pounds. I know this isnt healthy for me and I am becoming very concerned.
I think my mom is going to try to get me in with a gastronomist. Im open to anything at this point. Please help!

I just got contact lenses. This morning it took me nearly an hour to put both of them on. And right now, I want to take them off. But, every time that I attempt to take them off I flinch and freak out. I don't understand how I'm supposed to take them out. Or how to calm my nerves. It was easier at the optometrist!

Ok. this may sound weird. But I think I feel a pulse or something in like my stomach area. Is that weird? Where are our major viens/arteries anyway?

Any clues?

I'm 15 and have had a spinal cord stimulator implanted (for complex regional pain syndrome/reflex sympathetic dystrophy in my right leg) in my spine (which has requied 3 surgeries to sucessfully implant). My lumbar spine where the leads are implanted is very sore, and often times I have trouble standing up straight without pain. I also have Keloid scarring condition so I have lots of extra scar tissue around my spine. What would be some suggestions as to what to do to help with my back pain? I have been using ice, streching, and taking Advil which don't seem to help much.

I am about to embark upon a supervised 40-day water fast. I will drink only water for 40 days (no other food will be consumed). How much weight can I expect to lose?

I am a 20-year old female, 166cm tall (5'5"), and weigh 83 kilos. I have recently been unwell, and over the past 3 months, have gained almost 30 kilos. Please advise me.

Please note that I am aware of dangers etc. I am however, being supervised medically, and it is on the advice of my medical practitioner.

Thank you

Most recently I changed over my basil insulin from Humilin N to Lantus. I currently take 16 units of Lantus at bedtime (11 PM) and when I wake up in the morning my sugars are almost to same as when i fell asleep. The problem occurs after I eat my breakfast. I eat the same thing as always for my breakfast which is a 1 Cup and a Half of Organic cereal which has alot of fibre with soy milk. When I go to test my sugars about 2 1/2 later i've been getting highs of about 12 - 14 mmoll. For this breakfast i take about 4 units of Humalog. I'm just wondering what is causing this....Is it because im not getting enough basal insulin at bedtime, I cant figure out why this is happening.

lately (the last few months) I have been having headaches in the front part of my head. It's more like a lightening bolt that starts in the middle and ends on the side of my head right behind my eye...it usually the right side and sometimes the left. It's a very sharp pain but then it goes away..also sometimes i have just aches on the side of my head..right behind my eyes...i have to press on the sides with my thumbs to help it ease the pain..
I will probably see a doctor soon, just wanted to see if anyone else has had these before or any idea as to what may be the cause ?? anything that might help it??

thank you

Hi M, I'm the one with the gap tooth crowns. Anyhow, the strange thing is that the gap was not there at first,it appeared about a month after, I assume after the swelling went down?

I like the look of the teeth,even bigger, because my real teeth are extra tiny. Is there anything else I can do? Will the cutting of that little flap of skin cause the gap to lessen? I saved forever to have this work done and have since moved out of state, so I cant afford to do it again and my old dentist is all the way on the other side of the country.

As a dentist, if I do choose to address him, what would be the best way in your opinion? Thanks so much for your help!

Hi all
I am a 20 year old male. I attended an all day outdoor music festival this past Saturday and got a regular sunburn (red skin), even though I applied an SPF 30 sunscreen twice, once at the begining of the show, and again at the middle of the show. However, I was required to push carts outside for my job for two straight hours in the burning sun (It was more than 90 degrees in my estimate) two days after the music festival. Doing this caused thin wrinkles to appear on my forehead, and made my forehead feel very leathery. The rest of my body looks and feels normal. I usually stay indoors, but I usually retain a light dark complexion (I am Asian). I do, however, have dry skin. What should I do to get my forehead normal again? Are there any treatments that I can apply? Will my forehead be permanently wrinkled? Or should I just wait for my skin to shed? Will my forehead ever return to its normal condition? Please help!

My ex and I have been apart since Feb. The break up was harsh on me, I dealt with it, respected her decision for time apart. I rediscovered who I was and assorted my priorities.
During the time off we only chatted 3 times on the phone, 1st two, she was drunk dialing, but we didnt mention the relationship at all. Just recently, the 3rd time we had a great conversation.We talked about everything respectfully, and both agreed that we still cared for another and will always love eachother.She inveted to her bros baby shower, I told her I wasnt sure, but i still went ahead and she was surprised. i kept my distance during the shower, and caught up wth the family and her of course. kept everything very casual, and obvious that my life was great! family was glad to see me and Im sure she was too. uncles and Aunts were ofcourse gesturing if we were back, or making jokes. we both laughed.and kept our distance. she walked me out, gave a long big hug, and thanked her for the invitation...
