Health - 25 August 2007

I'm going in on Sept. 12th to get a consult, and if I decide to go ahead (which I will) they are going to go ahead and take the x-rays and molds on that same day. After this appointment, appoximately how long after can I expect to wait before they put the actual braces on?? Keep in mind I want to get this done as quickly as possible. Is it going to take a few weeks or a couple of months??? Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

I just started dating a guy who is not circumcised and occasionally there is an bad odor when the foreskin is pulled back. Is this an issue of being uncircumcised and not washing properly? Has anyone experienced the same thing?

I can't stand it. I'm tired of being chased by psychiatrists and drugs shoved down my throat and my house is dark so I can keep out the sun because it will burn my skin beyond repair. I don't have friends or family, fish are coming out of my shower head and slapping me in the face and the CIA and Mafia are in league with eachother, to spy on me and extract my valuable secrets and I know this for a fact because suspicious cars and vans drive by slow all the time right in front of my house. My team of psychiatrists has upped me to three different anti-psychotics and one anti-depressant and they're not working yet...I'm scared and lonely and sad and I don't want to go back to the hospital, I'm very afraid there and don't like the restraint bed at all, I hate being tied down like that and I cry and cry but they won't let me up til I swallow some mind numbing pills and lay quietly for awhile, then they take off the straps, I hate it, I hate it, when will this stop, what do I do??

ok. so i am 14 and turning 15 in two months. i'm 5'11.25". i am worried that i will be too tall i would preffer to be just plain 5'10" or 5'9". i do not whant to be known as 'the tall boy'. i would much rather be noticed as 'the intelligent guy' or 'the good looking guy'. i think i have gone throught both growth spurts and am starting to level out. and my voice is fully developped. how tall do you think i'll grow? how is my height at the moment (5'11"). and the height you think i'll be?

thanks.

On a previous question an answered mentionned that Omega Fats WILL NOT STORE as body fat. How come?

What if you eat a whole bunch of Omega Fats, will they then store as fat?

Also, what do both Omega Fats do for you, and what kinds of foods are they in?

Thanks!

Ok, I dont want people to go freeky on me, write lots of stupid abusive stuff and I am not giving an opinion about this issue whatsoever. I just am interested to hear if people ever think that self harming is ok to do? And the question is open for your interpretation anyway (ie what do I mean by 'ok'). Its just curiosity! No judgements stuff here please. Thanks!

Do they really work in preventing eyesight deterioration for people who are dependent on lenses to see? Is there really a conspiracy with optometrist/optical groups who make their money selling people glasses to downplay the usefulness of pinhole eyeglasses? I'm just curious.

i find im lacking in the self confidence area. ill go to work but when someone says hello ill let out this little inaudible croak which was meant to be "hey". later on im happy to chat with the staff. it seems i have periods of no confidence. i cant thing of anything to say even to my grandmother, she just talks and talks and i have nothing to ask her back. im terrible with my bosses. im hopeless at small talk with them, i can never think of anything to say and usually end up saying "yep" or "mmm" i can never think of anything to ask them back. i get awefully worried about how i look, i HATE my hair, i want outragous haircuts but i look in 20 mirrors and come to the conclusion that it would be highly embarressing to step outside with that haircut (ive tried many different ones) i get a haircut, but 1 week later itlooks aweful again, and i cant get haircuts once a week (well i suppose i could, but dont want to) how can i build my self confidence up. ANYTHING would be useful.

Me and my bf lost both of our virginities to each other and we used a condom majority of the time, but we've stopped using them now. I was wondering if there is still a chance we could catch anything... and if so, what?

I have no memories of being molested. I have been going through therapy and was asked to give my bad feelings a color........they would be dark green, kind of like camoflauge.....and my uncle hunts. But when he and i were in a room alone when I was a teen, I got almost sick to my stomach. I dont want to just ask my parents.....Hey, was i ever molested?.....that's kinda odd!!!.........Just curious as to anyone's thoughts. I'm just trying to figure out where some of my past depression is stemming from.........what is going on with me..............

I am on the lowest dose of fulvoxamine (anti-anxiety/anti-depression/anti-OCD med) for my anxiety and depression.

But I still get moments of depression (although not as bad).

Also, I tend to binge once a week and then feel disgusting after.

Are these things linked? Although at the moment I don't feel like binging is related to my stress, could it be even though I don't feel it?

Can it happen with depression?
I feel scared that people will find out that I cannot feel (i used to feel joyful positive feelings). and that I'm without a core real self so I have to fake all the time, while not wanting to but because II have to (i used to feel joyful positive feelings).
I feel so ashamed of it - my parents do a lot of things for me to try help (as I'm supposed to be schizophrenic though I hear no voices) but I can't feel good feelings towards them when the feelings should automatically be there.
I feel so abnormal and I'm starting a new job, after 10 years out of work on Tuesday, and I fear rejection if I can't be animated with good feelings of happiness, laughter and excitement and be real.
I get frustrated because no one can grasp what I say about my inner state and won't believe that I feel I have no self. They think I'm making it up or it is impossible.

I've took about 9 different antidepressants but none has helped, nor ECT and I am on antipsychotics

I've experienced short episodes of RLS my whole life but NEVER to the point where I felt I needed medication for it since it didn't happen all that often or keep me up late at night. But eversince I had my tummy tuck surgery 3 weeks ago, it's been happening almost EVERY night! I had close to NO sleep last night and I am completely miserable this morning. I used to look forward to bedtime and now I HATE to even think about it. Has this happened to anyone? If you have it, how do you live with it? I really don't want to have to take the meds for it if I can avoid it. My teacher tells me that she takes meds for RLS that are prescribed for Parkinson's patients. She says it makes you really WEIRD. Any advice from YAHOO Answers? Thanks!

Im pre-diabetic with hypoglycemia. It got worst, I went to the doctor to get checked up. (my doctor was not available anymore). The new doctor said that my low sugar attacks were in my head. I went to another one and they said the same thing. I decided to get a new glucose monitor to make sure that my old one was not showing inaccurate resutls. Well the new monitor yield the same results (I bought a different brand). I decided to just try to eat more balanced and take my levels every so often, especially days that I feel sick. The other night I went to bed. I woke up very suddlenly and felt ill. I didn't know what was going on, I decided to try to make it to the kitchen and I thought I had to either call the emergency and colapse or try to eat my glucose tabs and as much as I can from our fridge. I never had it that bad. I usually react really bad at 60mg/dl. With this episode I couldnt take my levels I was so close to black out. what should I do? Cant go to the dr, they dont beleive
