Health - 20 August 2007

I put on 40 kilos (a lot of pounds!) when I was pregnant with my daughter, it has been a year and a half since she was born. The weird thing is that I have incresed my body weight by more than half but I have only gained 2 dress sizes and most people that are the same weight as me are like a size 22 or something yet I am a size 16-18 and I used to be 12-14. I am not particularly tall, only 5'4 or something (167cms) and my belly has a lot of fat from the pregnancy and my butt and legs are much huger so I dont understand how I only went up two sizes. Is that normal or do I have a tumor or something?

My little girl has an intestinal virus I took her to the Dr. today he said there is nothing that I can give her & that she should be fine in a few days. She felt much better earlier but now she is back to stomach cramps & vomiting.....she hasn't even eaten much today just fluids....how can I help her to be comfortable or is there nothing like the Dr said ....do I have to just let it ride out....she is miserable

I get the hiccups about once every day for about 1/2 hour then they go away and just come back. Nothing helps them and they are really bad! I have this condition called Arnold Chiari that some people say causes them, but I'm not sure....

I am currently on the depo shot which ive heard is the most potent of all birth control. I have also been on a lot of high powered antibiotics at the same time... I have heard that some birh control can be cancelled out with antibotics though... The thing that is worrying me is that im having a lot of pregnacy sypmtoms and i was just wonderinf if the depo shot can be affected by antibotics??
Thanks

I'm dying to eat pankackes in the mornings. With the syrup, and butter. But i'm on a diet, and it's just for the morning. I don't want to gain just by eating those small pankackes that you just heat up in the microwave then there you go. Well please help me out. I'll pick the best answer. Thanks!

I'm a nineteen year old female. I was diagnosed with optic neurtitis a couple of weeks ago. I've had the following symptoms for the past months- tingling/temporary numbness in my arms and legs, shaking legs, hands, unbalanced coordination, fatigue, and general weakness. I had an MRI done last week and it was negative. The symptoms are still present and i'm suppossed to see a neurologist soon but i was wondering if anyone had any idea on what could be wrong and any information? Thanks so much!!!!

My mom told me I need to start seeing a gynecologist when I'm 18(in October). I won't be sexually active. Is it still suggested that I go see one or should I wait until I'm actually sexually active?

my husband is planning on getting one done after the birth of our third child.
Any men that have one done could you give me some info on getting it done.
He has read of the procedure and what happens but there seems to be two types.
One uses a scapel to cut the vas defrens and the other is non surgical?
thanks
