treatment being the focal point of the community? If a given amount of people with OCD in a given area donates money over an extended period of time to build this community and hospital (who's main purpose is routine brain scanning to determine if certain medications are doing the job or not without waiting 3 weeks to find out. A school for sufferers and people determined to find a cure alike can attend to develop new ways of thinking about the disorder. Who else but a sufferer would want to find a cure more? I feel fed up with therapy and pills that make me sick. I want to actually look in my brain and see whats going wrong, but I can't afford it. All of us with OCD should try to take matters in our own hands a little and build a place where we definately won't feel alone. The continual money we put into it would definately keep it running and I'm sure help a ton of people. I'm going to start putting money away for it. What do you guys think?

I used to do weights at the gym, but then stopped using the arm ones because they made my arms bigger. Now I'm wanting to work out again, but what can I do for my arms to get toned, but not bulky?

Right now my molar(s) (Dont know yet) are coming in and my dentist told me that she would not pull them because they will push all of my teeth into perfect order...Right now there is a few gaps between some teeth, but is it true that if my molars come in, my top teeth will become straight?

I have been waking up in the morning with horrid lower back spasms. So bad that I cant get up, hardly walk, bend over...anything really. I have a 5 month old so this has been a problem. I do have DDD so I know some of the pain is coming from there....but this has been going on for weeks. It gets better if I take vicodin, soma and some ibuprofen. My doctors have not been too helpful....say its probabably the "normal" pain from carrying around a baby but I know its not. The pain is unbearable in the AM. It gets better, like I said, but never goes away. Could I have a disk problem? I dont know what to do. Everytime I have seen the docs they just give me more pain meds....and now when I call I think they think that is all I am looking for.

I'm 60 years old and been swimming all my life.Every once in a while, water would get into my ears and,go all the way down to the ear drums.You can tell, as every swimmer can.Of late, the water stops short of reaching the ear drum. Same happens when I put ear-drops in my ears.What could have changed?

When a friend moved in, we locked him in my room while we unloaded the truck. Since then, he won't come in my room. We figured he just associated my room with that scary day. Well, now he won't go into the kitchen. That’s where is food bowls have been since we moved in and then all of the sudden, he just won’t go in there. Not even for a Greenie treat! He howled and howled the next morning to be fed. my friend put his food in his bowl and he just wouldn’t come in. If we pick him up and put him back there, he gets really low and would take a few licks while watching over into the corner behind the stove. We thought he might be afraid of the mop that stayed back there so we moved it. No change. I mopped the entire house with it yesterday and he didn’t pay it any attention. We’ve had to move his bowls in the dining room, where he will eat then. He'll stay in the hall and hiss at the pantry. Rest of the behavior is normal. Any idea what is going on in his little cat brain?

I woke up about a week ago and found a small bubble on my gum after I brushed my teeth. I could push on it with my finger. It was soft. It deflated kind of over a week and now its just a soft gum patch but it swells sometimes. It doesn't hurt at all. I'm thirteen and I have braces. I think it might be a cyst? Are those common on the gum? Thankyou. Serious answers only please.

I have noticed a lot of mucus in my stools. Also, I am having issues with needing to urinate VERY frequently and a feeling of 'fullness' in my bladder/rectal area all the time. I am 39 years, female. I am a little concerned about a tumor in that area causing both problems. What doctor should I see?

I don't want to go to a family physician and *then* to a specialist because I have to pay the bills myself (we only have catastrophic insurance) so going to numerous doctors gets very costly. I'd like to pick the best type of doctor right off the bat and go see that type first, to help keep my out of pocket costs down.

Do I go see a Urologist? or a Colorectal Specialist? Or an OB/GYN? Which one is best suited for these symptoms?

It's on my lower back, but it's obviously a mass, not bone. It's causing pain when I sit up or bend forward. It's right over the spine.

If I have a 30 min break after every hour spent on the computer would it be okay to spend for example 8 hours on the computer?

Or even if I am taking breaks does the number of hours still matter?

Can someone give me a rule of how long I should spend and break times etc.

Thanks alot.

When starting your inactive pills how long before you start your period? One day, two?? I gave birth by c-section 10 weeks ago. I started Trivora 28's. This is the end of my second pack and I still haven't started yet. With my son, I breastfed, and got my first period at 13 weeks postpartum, this time I am formula feeding and haven't gotten it yet. So how long did it take you and how many days after inactives do you start???
