Like being 16, I am more attracted to 18-30 year old girls. Is this a phase I am going to pass through, because I am very interested why I spot them most often, and more attracted to than those of my age. I find them more beautiful mentally and physically.

... and if men have more armpit hair and sweat and armpit surface area in general, then why don't men shave their underarms? Women do so because it's clean and looks much better than hairy pits, but why don't men do the same thing? Bushy pits are ugly, and the smell is too.

Everyone, women men, need to shave their pits. They need not shave their beards or chests or legs, because these areas don't generate BO. However, the pits do, and so do the nether parts.

Guys, ya gotsta start shaving, really. It doesn't make you gay, it makes you clean.

It seems to me they want the weight to come off in 2 weeks which took them one year to put on. Maybe they have come to that critical moment and don't know how to handle it. What thinkest thou on it?

I have had an annoying floater in my eye for nearly five years (I am 19 years old). I was told that nothing could be done about it. After doing some research, I have found a few supposed "cures", which involve certain natural herbs, eye exercises, and even relaxation techniques. Chinese medicine supposedly links floaters to a blocked liver. Are any of these remedies actually going to work, or am I going to have to live with it the rest of my life? Surely there has to be something that can improve it (with replacing the vitreous humor).

Is there any way to prevent or minimize numb toes when I do my elliptical exercize?

I can go about 25-30 minutes before they get numb. I have to get off the machine and take my shoes off for awhile and then go another 25- 30 minutes.

I like to go 60 minutes on the machine non-stop.

My dad was diagnosed a couple of months ago with Stage 4 colon cancer. I have been reading everything I can on it, but one of the things this oh-so-preventable-cancer is missing is the type of fundraising I only seem to find for breast cancer. I want to do everything I can to do my part to raise awareness and raise money if I can. Please let me know if you know how to do so.
Anything local to the PA, NJ, DE, MD aread would be even better!

For quite a while I have had very occasional right side abdominal pain. I can go many months without a symptom, then, for a few days feel right sided pain.

The location is always the same - just above the beltline, a stabbing pain in a single spot that goes stab...stab...STAB... and so on. The episodes last only a bouple of minutes, then goes away, sometimes for hours, and sometimes for months.

I am 62 years old, in otherwise good health, 6' 195 lbs, and have no symptoms associated with this pain.

Yes, I've gone to the doctor (two PCP's and a neuro), and they agree that there is nothing at that location to cause this pain. One sent me to a neuro, thinking it may be referred pain from the spine, but the neuro agreed with the PCP's.. I have no back problems.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

I have two cavity's on my left tooth, it's the one that is in the center on the left side. I'm 17 and these are the first cavity's i've ever gotten. I'm afraid that they'll put on one of those caps. I mean my dad said that they might just use some filling of something, but I'm not sure because i've never had this problem. Do you think they'll do a cap or just filling?

I'm 18, and I'm a UK 6 stone. I have always had this annoying round stomach which hangs over my jeans, even when I am underweight It will never go away. No matter how much I excersize, no matter how less or much I eat, It never goes away. Could there be a medical reason for it? Or is there anything I can pay for to get rid of it? Please help. It's seriously getting me down in life.

I've upped my Lexapro from 10 mg to 15 mg. I've been on the 15mg for about 3 weeks. Still very depressed, won't go out of the house, can't go to work. Lexaporo's pamphlet says to take 10mg for severe depression. My therapist says that I might need to be on 50 mg? I am afraid of all the weight gain etc. I was on Paxil for 17 years for anxiety with great success, but it stopped working. Anyone have any suggestions.....I really don't want to be on anything. I have such bad symptoms that I can hardly function. I am in a bad marriage and I'm going through memopause. I have a clean bill of physical health????

Any suggestions......I am so afraid of weight gain. Should I give the Lexapro more time......I've been on it since Dec. Hormones are "within range" which sounds silly to me since I'm menopausal???

I'm 25 years old about to turn 26. I have not been able to have friends, go out, or have a girlfriend for the last 7 years due to deaths in family...so I'm had to stay home to take care. I grew up in a small town where all of the good looking girls where taken and I've always been told that I look good (I'm asian guy). It's crazy now that I'm 25 and never had a girlfriend. I was so outgoing, and just about everybody liked me...and I was part of the "crowd" in school. Was a team captain of the golf team, etc etc. I lost everything except for my education, which now I'm working on my masters degree online. Is this normal to be feeling sad all the time due to my situation? I'm trying to be as optimistic as I can, and I want to know if there is anybody out there that is going through the same sort of thing.

I am on the waiting list to have a spinal cord stimulator implanted for chronic pain. I am really nervous and not sure what it will feel like, and is the operation to implant it horrendous, and is recovery quick?

I have had the trial for a week, and the pain relief was great, but it was uncomfortable - i dont know whether it is because, in the trial, the wire is left hanging out or your back, but when the proper one goes in it is embedded in the spine.

Can anyone tell me what to expect and what it will feel like? Are there any problems with everyday life? Help please.
