ok. so I'm 14, and I got my very first period February 24th and it lasted around 6 days. I got my next period on St. Patrick's Day (March 18th I think?) and it was just that one day. It's August 23rd and I haven't gotten my period at all for the past 5 months. is this normal?!?

He seems to be doing well on the medications and treatments, but they seem to keep switching him around. Before the medicine, he has had times where he could be nice to me for short to long periods, and times where he would be mean as a hornet to me days, weeks and even months in a row.
So I am somewhat fearful, what if this is just another good phase he's going through for now, and he'll change again, even though the medicines all seem to be working, how do I know in advance? He says on one of the medicine they put him on, it keeps him from getting angry. And the other medicines seem to control other moods I think.

I broke my fibula ankle and went to the ortho today and i got my cast off. The doctor said an xray wasnt neccasry. I couldwalk/limp with a little pain and discomfort after i got home. But now a few hrs later there is a big bruse on the middle of my foot. I noticed it when i was walking and i felt pain in that area so i checked it out and saw the big bruise. The bruise is a definite bump and its red/purple and in the middle of it there's what looks like white puss or some kind of white part. Ive been walking around all day to try to exercise it. But now the bruised part is painful and its scary looking at it

I think I appear 100% normal to the outside world. But, I have this thing where I compulsively listen to music (esp. certain songs over and over) and spin around (not dance- just spin), and retreat into a fantasy world. It's very calming for me, and helps me relax. I've never told anyone about this, because it's just plain weird. I hide it from my family, by doing it locked in my room with my mp3 player on. I've been doing it since I was like 4; as far back as I can remember.

Sometimes I HAVE to do it to unwind, and I do it every day.

I am looking for a plastic surgeon that will accept my medicaid card to perfom a breast reduction. My neck and shoulders pain are getting worst. I have been working out and placed myself on a very strict diet. I have went from 200 pounds to 165 and I am only 5'2". I am still working on that. Medicaid is agreeable on paying for the surgery I just need to find a surgeon that is willing to do it.

Red wine 'protects from colds'
Another health benefit has been attributed to red wine - fighting off the common cold.

According to scientists in Spain, drinking wine, especially red, stops people from developing colds.

Something in wine seems to have a protective effect because the same was not seen with beer and spirits.

The evidence comes from a year long study of 4,000 volunteers.

I am 21. I believe my speech is impaired but maybe this has something to do with a reading problem or dyslexia?? I have already met with a speech therapist . I am no longer going , she believes I improved enough. I am still not satisfied and believe my speech and maybe communication needs improvement. Job interviews are horrible and at times mutual relations have been affected. It is clear I have a slight monotone ... Please, what can i do? This will really hurt me in the future !

My mom has had severe foot pain for the last year, it get's so debilitating that she can't walk at times. She has been seeing a podiatrist, who referred her to physical therapy, which she has been going to and following through on, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I told her that it may get worse before it get's better. I know that losing weight would help her immensly, but other than that, I'm not really sure. I know what helps me with my feet is when I (or my husband) squeeze my heel pretty hard for about 10 seconds, and then let go and massage the area, and when I stick my fingers in between my toes and spread them apart, and I have told my mom that but she is to afraid to try it, I have been trying to find a website to support my theory, but have had no success. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Oh yeah, she has heel spurs.

I used to have a great memory and I was an A student but here in the last 5 yrs my memory has declined and I'm only 30! It scares me and I am even starting to feel incompetent at my job. What could be causing this?

Don't say a lack of using it because I do use it. I have gone to school and gotten my Masters degree. But I even feel like I don't remember the things I spent so many years learning!

Is it true that because the body is so used of being worked up, therefore burning calories, if the activities being slow down or stop can lead to easily gaining weight. I have seen many older people who used to be athlete now gaining weight like crazy even more than a person who have been less active all the time before.
