Obviously we have many ways to speed up recovery, such as large doses of Vitamin C, Echinacea and Golden Seal, but why don't we have one simple pill that kills the bug within a couple of hours? If we know how to do brain surgery and give liver transplants, why don't we have a cure for an illness this small?

Thank you!

yesterday i noticed a very noticeable pain in my tail bone, it just seemed to appear one day and it only seems to get worse. it REALLY hurts when i press it down and sometimes when i sit down. i have mild scoliosis but ive had that for as long as i can remember, but this pain started just the other day. i dont see how that can be related. i didnt fall on my *** or anything so it wasnt an injury. please give me any help that you can, i want to try to avoid seeing another doctor (plus my mom thinks i worry too much about my health and physical conditions so i really have to prove to her that somethings wrong with me cuz usually nothing is). it might be just bad posture but please give me any ways to get rid of this PLEASE!

I have decided to stop drinking soda in order to help lose more weight.

Does anyone here have a success story about stopping drinking soda, any positive effects, or know anyone that does?

Thanks.

I basing the question on Sensory Sensitivities
~~~I copied this off an Aspergers website~~~
Sensory Sensitivities
Many Asperger children have sensory issues. These can occur in one or all of the senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste). The degree of difficulty varies from one individual to another. Most frequently, the child will perceive ordinary sensations as quite intense or may even be underreactive to a sensation. Often, the challenge in this area will be to determine if the child's response to a sensation is actually a sensory reaction or if it is a learned behavior, driven mainly by rigidity and anxiety.

Okay so I had sex the other morning with my husband. Now that evening after I had a shower & I guess it was a good 7 or 8 hours maybe longer I checked my CM to see if I was ovulating it was clear not extremely globy or anything but pretty stretchy. But thats completely gone today I still have quite a bit of CM but it's no longer stretchy ? (I have been having an increase amount of CM the last few days with no foul odor) I was suppose to ovulate that day because it would have been day 14 of my cycle ! Do you think what I was feeling the other evening was his sperm or my CM indicating that I was ovulating ? Any info you give would be highly appreciated !!! Thanks in advance <3

I am a 16 year old male and weigh 200 pounds. I realize that is very unhealthy, and I am willing to work hard to lose the fat and the weight. I'm just tired of being overweight.

Currently I do 20 push-ups and 50 sit-ups/crunches a day, as well as 20 minutes of walking/jogging.

What are some other things I can be doing? What is the best way to lose the fat? Keep in mind, I am willing to work hard.

Thanks!

I'm a teenager, and up until about last year, I've had no problem with having milk or any other dairy products.
But now, if I have cereal with milk, eat yogurt, or even make pancakes/waffles with milk/buttermilk in the mix, I end up with stomach pains, gas, feeling a bit nauseous and sometimes, diarrhea.
However, I can manage to eat a little ice cream or cheese at times, and I don't have any of the symptoms mentioned above.
Could I be lactose intolerant? How can I know for sure?

Thanks!

My now ex bf broke up with me about 6 mos ago after a 3 year relationship, but I still have such anger towards him! I feel like (I know) he took advantage of me the whole time and just decided it was over when he had no use for me anymore.

I feel like its about time for me to let this go...Why is it no matter how much I move on I am still having a hard time with this anger? Am I just not over him yet?

I also dress a lot in black and they say that I use the word pointless too much. and they also say that I always look sad. but does all this mean I'm Emo or something? please help!!!

after sex my boyfriend felt like his penis was itching, I've felt the same, but there isn't any discharge or bad smell. we're both monogamous [yes, I'm sure]. could this be a yeast infection or what else?

Last night, my roommate had a friend over for tea and it got really late. Our roommate policy is that no boys can spend the night. So she told him to leave and he refused. When she started yelling at him, he agreed to be driven home. When they were walking to the car, my roommate called me when I was asleep saying that her friend was acting funny. He claimed that he suffered from grand mal seizures. She didn't know what to do so we all walked back inside. When we got inside he started spasming and he kept asking for his muscle spasm medication. Now I don't remember what it was called. But I ground up a tablet and dissolved it in water and made him drink it. Five seconds later he stopped shaking and he said he was fine. My question is... was he faking it? Can you tell the difference between a fake or real grand mal seizure? He also claims he has some sort of rare cancer. I don't know.

My friend knows she has a pinched nerve and herniated discs in her neck, and has the exact same headache symptoms I do. She is unaware of at-home help. I happen to know my chiropractor-boss once adjusted my neck and the pain was instantly gone.
So, does anyone know of a way to resolve this? At the very least, even if I'm wrong about my diagnosis, you will be helping her!
Thank you.

Is this normal? I'm 13, nd I've been scared of bugs for as long as I can remember, but daddylonglegs' scare the hell out of me. If I see one, I run out of the room and get my brother, who usually kills them for me, but if he doesnt, I'm scared to go into that room for hours, and if I have to, I usually run out the second I see it, in tears or close to it. Is itnormal to be this scared of something?
