Health - 20 August 2007

I get migraines everyday, I'm only 21 years old, and its ruining my life. I have been taking off from work way too much lately and All I Do is stay in bed with the lights off. I tried taking tylenol, advil, motrin, Almost every OTC medication and NOTHING helps me. I don't know if I should even go to the doctor and waste money just for him to tell me to take something like tylenol ect. Even at 1500mg Of Tylenol, it still dosn't help at all. My boss at work is getting sick of me taking off, but I can't work with this pain. On A scale From one through 10 my pain is like A 9. I have had broken bones before and THIS IS MORE PAIN THAN THAT!!!

What would A doctor do? Would An X-ray show whats wrong? If not, what do they do? I just want to see if going to the doctor would even be worth going to.

I'm 18 years old and I havn't been able to grow a full beard yet... I know this isn't rare, there are plenty of kids my age with the same issue... But I think I might know a contributing factor... All of my friends my age who have had sex regularly, weather it be with a girl friend or many girls, from about age 16 to now (age 18) can grow a full beard with ease... And then everyone I know who hasn't had much sexual activity (for example, I have only had intercourse a few times) dont have much facial hair... I'm convinced the facial hair growing faster in some guys is atributed to sexual intercourse at an early age, not mutual masterbation or oral intercourse. I think there might be hormones or locked brain activity that might be unlocked by early maturity partly/mostly from sexual intercourse.

Anyway my questions are...

Has anyone else noticed somthing like this as well?
and
Does anyone know of any studies that might cover this topic?

I recieved news this morning that said that I needed to have six baby teeth pulled in order to get braces. I have an extreme fear of dentists and am terrified. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to be more relaxed about this>?

I don't understand this. I've seen people under 30 with teeth rotted up to the gumline. I know a guy who's 35, only a couple teeth left. He says it's due to hereditary gum disease. Could this be true? Or is it most likely due to drugs? Could any other drugs other than crystal meth cause this problem?

I've had braces for 6 months now, and the back wire on my bottom teeth came lose, is there a way I can fix this by myself?
My orth. is closed today and I cannot get a hold of her. I'mnot sure if the dentist will do it either. The wax cannot fit back there as the sire is underneath the tube where the wire should be. I checked my sheet and it said sdomething about the Tube wire, but thats not the one, this is at the very back of my muth with the wire out of that little hole. Is this possible for me to do it myself or my dentist seeing as the orth. is closed today? If so, how?

A friend was recently diagnosed with Diabetes 2. Her doctor put her on a high protein, low carb diet, her doctor also said carbs turn into prue sugar so when you want drop pounds you have to eat little carbs. Morning breakfast is: 1 egg, 1 slice of bacon, 1 slice of toast with a small amount of peanut butter on it. Another friend who is trying to drop pounds for breakfast only eats 1/2 cup of Kashi go lean w/non fat milk, 1 cup of hot tea. So, now the debate, whose right, do you really have to give up most of your carbs?

I was prescribed it this weekend from my doctor and it's like 5/500mg. When I took it Saturday night It didn't help the pain as much as I would have liked it too, so I took another one 4 hours later. Is that too much to take?

This morning, I hit my right hand (the back side, not palm) fairly hard on the corner of a marble area in the foyer at my work. The pain was very bad when I first hit it, and now each second it is getting worse. It feels like I may have hit a nerve or something, and it's starting to creep down my right arm. I am able to move my hand, fingers and arm (obviously, I'm typing), but like I said, it feels like sharp pains. Any thoughts on what this could be and should I get it checked out? Is this just temporary pain that can be solved with tylenol or something? I use a computer for work, so any advice would be helpful. I can't find anything on-line that doesn't sound like a foreign language to me. Thanks!

my mum has shrunk from a healthy curvy 14 to under a size 6 in about 3 years due to a stomach ulcer caused by medication. I know this isnt her fault and it isnt much fun for her, but her attitude sometimes gets to me.
Whenever she goes to eat a meal she makes comments which makes me feel she has adopted an unhealthy disliking for food which is perhaps subconsciously stopping her from putting the weight back on?
I myself am a happy curvy size 12 and I don't mind by body, but she also makes comments that I sometimes find hurtful and unnecessary. For instance she commented on a woman in the street calling her a fatso, even though she cant have been much larger then me!
I know she cant be making hurtful comments on purpose, but after 3 years, its starting to get to me.

I love my mum so much and its sad I cant do much to help her, but I would be thankful if anyone in a similar position could get in touch, or if you could give me some advice on coping with her illness. Thanks.
