My prescription is quite high (between -6 and -7 in contacts for both eyes) and when I switch between glasses and contacts, it seems like everything is much smaller while I am wearing glasses and everything looks big when I'm wearing my contacts. Do other people experience this? Also, which is closer to "normal", glasses or contacts?

that I can get some medication. My best friend's mother is a psych nurse and she's told me I have all of the traits of being bipolar. I've also done my own research online and stuff. Seems to be true. I don't want to self diagnoise myself (doctor's hate that). But, my mood swings have gotten out of control. Or is there anything that I can do without medication to help me? I have 2 children (a 9 month old & a 4 year old)& a fiance. I feel it's unfair to them to be treated this way. Please... any advice would help. Thanks.

I was diagnosed with Raynaud's about a year ago and I have the opportunity to go snow skiing this winter. I know its dangerous being out in extreme cold. but I just want to know if anyone has found a way to enjoy extreme cold weather without experincing the symptoms of Raynaud's. Please let me know if theres anything out there that will keep my hands and feet warm enough to enjoy the snow.

okay my boyfriend got jock itch about 2 months ago, since then i have noticed thick white cottage cheese like discharge with no other symptoms. i thought it was a yeast infection but i have no other symptoms and im pretty sure it isnt an std b/c we've only been with each other before. it finally went away for a couple of days and the first time we had sex again since it got better he is noticing he is getting jock itch again. its like we keep passing it back and forth. what is it and what can we do to get rid of it?

I was the one who asked before how to sleep with herpes on fingers and I seem like a bit of a joker and not taking it seriously..However, I had herpes on my fingers for about 4 days now and it seriously is taking a toll on my life. I'm basically disabled on my right hand and have to learn how to do everything, including writing, with my left hand. It doesn't look like it's getting any better. School is gonna start for me in a week and a half and I don't wanna go to school with this. I just wanna ask how long it takes for this outbreak to finally heal? What it looks like when it does get better? The skin around it is so dry and the patch that is infected doesn't even feel like its part of my skin anymore...just stuck to my skin.

I would only like answers from people who have studied this and people who have actually experienced this.

I recently quit drinking three monthes ago. I was drinking heavy almost everynight. For over a year straight. I never really felt like I had to have it. It was just always there. I feel tons better and I am getting much more healthy now. My question is that this past week I actually thought about drinking and I kind of craved it. Does this make me an alcoholic?? I didn't get anything to drink and I have only thought this a few times. But it always makes me feel kind of guilty. Would having a few drinks once in a while be o.k? only if in moderation of course.
I'm only 24 so it's not like I want to just never drink again....

Hi there,

I am looking for a long term healthy eating guid/plan. Does weight watchers really work? The big draw back for me is that I hate groups! However, I would force myself to go if it really works.

Thanks!
