I didn't know if most women wanted C's or DD's, or if they do it for the guys.

I am procrastinating my homework and I know it's childish. How do I quit whining or trying avoid it. I feel like I need someone to help when I am sad and desperate. I just want to be independent and not feel like I need somebody to help me.

I have a full time job working 8am-5pm M-F but picked up a part time job working at a liquor store just for the fact I was bored (plus beer $). However, I have to work the next two Saturdays during the ND game (my favorite team which I haven't missed a game in years). If I quit I get to GO TO the game, but I'd feel bad b/c I'd be ******* over people that have to cover my shift during Labor Day weekend (huge). What should I do.

Last night I layed down at 12 and tossed and turned all night, finally decided to get up and go to work early at 6am. Now it's 2:30pm and I can barely keep my eyes open at work. I could leave early because I came in so early but all I want to do is sleep. What should I do? Im afraid if I dont sleep a little while I'm tired now I won't be able to sleep again through the night and I'll be doubley tired tomorrow.

Im a male, 33 yrs old, type 2 diabetic.

I very rarely run "high", I closesly monitor my sugar/carb intake.

However, Im wondering how low can it go before it can cause trouble, and what side effects of running low will I experience?

I have been dealing with cancer for several years and I am very weak right now. I am on Medicare and I also have Blue Cross through my husband's work. For years, I have not only been battling the cancer, but also the constant disputes between these two insurance carriers. Since I have overlapping insurance from both, I should have to pay very little, and right now I am looking at $11500.00 in medical bills since January of this year. We've paid $5600.00 of that. I am weak physically and emotionally, and we can't afford a lawyer. Both Medicare and Blue Cross ignore my pleas to settle the disputes and pay the bills. Right now, I have bills from three hospitals and all of them say that Blue Cross won't pay until Medicare pays, and Medicare is saying they won't pay yet because Blue Cross is the primary. I think Medicare is correct, but I'm not certain. Is there any government agency which oversees such issues and could resolve this ongoing dilemma?

Hi i just had a testosterone test come back at 16.9nmol/l (done in the morning). Fair enough that falls between the normal range of 11-40 but its on the low side. I have been feeling sluggish for quite some time, my beard grows very slowly and i have a very low sex drive.

I am very healthy(regular exercise, healthy diet, good sleep etc) and at 21 meant to be at the peak of health and testosterone levels the doc says i am okay because i fall in the normal range, but am i not right to be concerned about it?

I just get the feeling cos i am not at any serious health risk i get no help. but my quality of life is really affected by this.

like daily. Because see, my grandmother can't have a lot of potassium because of her kidneys. So like what's normal so that we (my family and myself) can know how much to let her have; what foods to eat. I found a list of foods that are low in potassium but my mom really wants to know what's a normal amount, you know, so she can make sure my grandma doesnt get that much. Thanks yall.

I have no family history of cancers at all except an aunt who died from breast cancer. But, I have had ulcerative colitis for around 5-6 years in the entire colon (and 1 yrbefore that on the left side only). I am going to start my yearly screenings in a week..(full colonoscopy with biopsies) apparently because my risk of cancer increases after living with UC for that long.. should i be worried or are the chances still very slim? I ve been in remission for 5 years now but i read that the period in which the disease is in remission has no connection to the chances of getting cancer.. any thoughts?

Why does a mosquitos bite make you itch?

I recently have been getting alot of terrible mosquito bites and it made me wonder why a mosquito drawing your blood could turn into such a nasty itch!
Also, if you know of anything good to put on a bite, that would really help! Thanks!

my parents are always on my case because i always speak before thinking, can never sit still, and have trouble paying attention. they always yell at me when i forget something they said or accidently daydream when they're talking to me. i always try my best to obey their wishes and listen and sit still but its always really really hard for me. i was curious and looked up the symptoms of ADHD online and took a test to see if i likely have ADHD and although its not a diagnosis, it said i almost positively have ADHD. whenever i mention this to my parents and ask if maybe i can go to a doctor to see if there are any medecins or pills that could help me, they always tell me that im just making up excuses for my "behavior". i dont even remember what they mean by "behavior". they yelled at me once telling me what my "behavior" was but even then i could barely concentrate on what they were telling me. ive never done anything horrible.. just forget instructions sometimes

supposedly my step-mother says that i've been depressed since 11-12 years old, i'm now 25. i've tried to see 2 psychologists but they seemed to be judging me. i have 2 boys, a husband (who thinks i should go crawl in hole cause he's sick of the way i act) and we live with my father-in-law. i think about me and my family dying so i'm always sad and i hate it! i also have trouble sleeping, staying awake and more recently oversleeping. i have trouble concentrating, making decisions, remembering things and i'm slow to do things (my dad and step-mother always called me tortuga). over 4 months ago i got into a huge fight with my father and i haven't talked to him since, he doesn't try to see his grandsons, he used to hit me and my brothers and the longest i've gone without talking to him was 7 1/2 months, did i mention he kicked me out when i was 17? i do tend to dwell on the past...either way i'm making life hard for my family but i'm too scared to go see a doctor. any suggestions? thanks

I like to eat air-popped popcorn (plain) a few times a week. I have read conflicting articles that say good and bad things about popcorn consumption. Are there any negative effects on the digestive system from eating it several times a week?

I'm 17 and worry about my health alot, even though i eat well, exercice regularly, sleep more that 8 hours at night..

I find myslef constantly worrying about diseases and conditions that surround me. For example, for two days i've been having a little numbness in my left arm, so i immediatly assume it has something to do with the heart.. Who can help me overcome this problem? it's ruining my life.

Also, i don't like to talk about this to anyone, not even my mom to whom i am very close, because i an ashamed of this and don't want her to know.

My husband's father died of complications of diabetes when he was 53 about ten years ago and here recently his uncle (who already had both legs aputated) just got scheduled to have both hands aputated. So now my stubborn husband is finally going to go to the doctor, but in order to make an appointment online I need to know who he needs to see. It is easier to do it online instead of the automated system so i need help. We have good insurance and all I just can't figure out what kind of doctor he needs. thanks
