Why has it come back, this is at least the 4th time i have been depressed. Do I keep taking the tablets? I'm not sleeping, not working, Can't be arsed with life and everyday things. Family don't really understand and treat me like a hopeless child. Is there a single cure? Is there something I can do for ME? Without the pills?

Since starting a new relationship I asked my girlfriend to myself to get tested. We went together and our results for chlamydia and ghoneria and syphilis and HIV were negative however she had a yeast infection. While we were having sex she gets really irritated and while entering her her underwear was still on so I pulled them to the side and continued to have sex with her but once her panties were off and we continued for hours to have sex once we were done i noticed that my penis was bleeding. It wasnt her blood but my blood from my penis a then a red patch appeared on my penis. I assuumed it was from STD's and HIV what else could it be?

I'm fifteen and went to the dentist today and was told that I have periodontal disease in my mouth. The dentist told me I need to have a deep cleaning done, or I could be without teeth by the time I'm 25 years old. He said that he wasn't going to do it due to the fact I'm so young and recommended that I see a specialist. My parents are going to take me to a specialist withtin the next few days. My question is will this "deep cleaning" be painful? And what is exactly done?

Wed morn. I was involved in an accident after a lady ran a red light she T-boned us and the fire dept. had to pry open the door for the paramedics to get me out. I was taken to the ER and had a CT scan of head and x-ray of back done everything was good. They gave me pain pills and Valium. Today I wake up and my right shoulder is stiff as the day goes the pain gets worse now it is horrible my shoulder burns and my hand keeps tingling and going numb even the pills they gave me aren't helping. Hubby says I need to go back out to ER but I am afraid they will say its just stiff and act like I am a sissy or something. I really dont wanna waste insurance money if it is nothing. My question is does anyone have any ideas what this could be and is worth another trip to ER? Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I'm not overweight, but I'd really like to tone up my abs. There has been a lot of skepticism recently about the effectivenss of normal crunches and situps. Anyother exercises I can be doing at home for better results? (I can't buy exercise equiptment or go to pilates class etc.)

I am not that super fat or anything, but want to get in REALLY great shape. I am 4'10" and weigh 110. I would like to try to get down to about 95 (if you check, that's a perfect BMI count for my height, or lack there of! :) I have tried the lazy way, by not eating, or by taking pills, but obviously, this doesn't work. I have been REALLY good this time. I have worked out 6 out of 7 days for the past 5 weeks on my eliptical machine for 30, 45 or 75 minutes. I eat egg whites and wheat bread for breakfast or diet oatmeal. I don't snack at all and usually only eat plain turkey or chicken sandwiches on wheat bread, no mayo, no cheese, just lettuce once in a while. I lost 2 pounds the first week, 2 the second and have been at a complete stand still since! My pants even seem tighter now than when I started. Can anyone help? I am losing hope and I am planning a trip with my kids to Hawaii early next year and don't want to scare people off the beach!

When I was 15 I had cancer and I had extensive chemotherapy. Of course all my hair fell out during the course of chemo but when all the treatment had finished, my hair never grew back the way it was before.

I am now 22 and I feel fine. My hair grows but it is really thin and my scalp is always visible. I don't have any bald spots and none of my family have ever experienced baldness. I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this and is there any solution to make my hair grow stronger again.

Thanks for any help.

My grandmother Sonia has cancer. I dont know what t do. I didnt expect it. I was sleeping in the back seat of the car and I woke when my mom was crying and explaining to the other people in the car what happened. She lives across the US from us. She was eating lunch with some friends and her face started melting. So they rushed her to the hospital, and they checked her and she has lung and brain cancer. She has 2 tumors in her brain and one in her heart. I'm praying that she will be ok. She sounds fine on the phone, bacause she is in the hospital. She is going through a few more tests right now and the doctors all ready said they know what they want to do with her surgery wise. I'm pretty sure she will be ok but I am so stressed out. If she doesnt doesnt make it out of surgery or if she does, she maybe cant fly out to visit anymore. The part the tumors attacked was her memory so if you say something to her she takes about 10 sec to respond and cant remember things.Helpful answers plz!

I stubbed my toe the oher night. It was my first toe and it "jammed" backwards. There is no discoloration or pain in the toe itself. The pain and swelling is on the bottom of my foot - between the big toe and first toe. It is bearable but a nuisance. Is there anything i can do to help it heal quickly?
