Health - 23 August 2007

This doctor at an urgent care clinic didn't have anyone specific to refer me to, just said it would keep happening. He suggested the stiff neck was due to untreated whiplash in 2001. I am taking Flexeril and Vicoden that he prescribed, but don't really feel better yet. I have been led to believe that Chiropractors are kind of a joke, but am willing to try it. I'm not sure how to go about finding one and would like to hear experiences from the Answers community. I am in Tampa, FL if by chance you are local but would love to hear stories from anywhere.

I know how to blow my nose, hold a nostril shut and blow hard through the other, so I do it correctly and hard. But Nothing ever comes out. I blow real hard and just air is comming out my nose, no mucous. Its been this way for years. I saw people at restaurants when they are done eating, they blow their nose and loads of mucous comes out. family members blow their nose more than once a day and they have lots of mucous come out ( they do not have congestion or cough like some people do, They dont have alot of congestion no more than I do, they dont smoke) I get flem in my throat like when I eat something spicy, so I know I'm producing mucous, but it never comes out the nose. Usually they take a hot shower or steam bath, or eat spicy spaghetti and they blow mucous out their nose like crazy. I take a hot shower and blow my nose and still, nothing comes out. I had a nose job about 15 years ago, so I dont remember a time when I could. WHY?

I am a lady, and i am not planning to be sexually active for the time being. Do you think that it is a good idea to shave?

I am just afraid of the prick from the hair when it grows back. I'm not going for a Brazilian wax, so do you think that shaving is fine?

I need genuine answers. Thanks

it annoys me when ppl who r in shape & have never been overweight say somethin bout eatin like, "willpower" or "portion control". they have never been in that situation b4. that never worked for me. denise austin is still fat in her lower body, everythin else is great. ive done some research on the hypothalamus gland, and i think this "cure" will work. the first 24hrs, u lose 1-10 lbs. then after that, u just lose 1lb each day. u cant gain the weight back. my older sister tried eating a whole jar of peanut butter and no weight was gained. this product says u dont need to workout or "eat right."
so my question is, what is this product? im buying the book, but can this product be used by a 14 yr old?

I had a pelvic laparoscopy on Monday (8/20/07). Three days later (yesterday) my vaginal bleeding changed from the brown spotting I've been having ever since the surgery, to more of a red flow. My period is due for this cycle on Sunday(8/26/07). I generally have clockwork cycles of 27-28 days. Today is CD25.
I am having cramping, but it is hard to tell the difference btwn the pain I have been experiencing post-surgery and menstrual cramps. It's still only been 4 days since the surgery.
It does kind of seem like my period is trying to start early. (If today is CD1, my period is 3 days early).
I was curious if any of you have had a laparoscopy, how quickly did your body heal? Were your cycles any different post-lap?
And also, did anyone experience your periods coming on early post-surgery? I have read quite a bit about delayed periods after a lap, but I can't find much info on an early menstruation post-Laparoscopy.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
