I work late hours therefore, I don't get to eat dinner until after 8:00 pm. In addition, I don't have the option of eating a "healthy" meal at work. To compensate for eating after 8:00 pm, could I wait two hours before I go to bed to avoid gaining weight? No dumbass or smartass comments please:)

I have had my current dentist for about 12 months. After a thorough 1st examination he found a few level 4 and perhaps 5 gum pockets. Now he has a NEW hygienist and she found 6's and a 7 in a gum pocket that was 'scaled' about 15 months ago by a previous dentist. My flossing habits have improved & my meds haven't changed. I feel I am being taken. This dentist office is only about 15 months old and my area of town is building out like crazy. The dentist office is 1.5 mi. away. Do I need to find another more established dentist who is not counting on me paying for his/her practice. How much bearing does my Mom's previous periodontal problems have w/ my current dental health. I have also reached out to my previous dentist of 20+ years for his help since I moved out of his state 4 yrs ago. I am about ready to have all teeth yanked out or pack up my full mouth x-rays and hit the road. Thanks!

I am 17, and I just feel tired. I started being a veggie 7 months ago. I ate A LOT of meat in the first place, so it was a drastic change. I've noticed my hair coming out more easily, and I just feel less energized. I know it was unwise to not talk about this to a doctor. I was anemic as a child 12 ish years old. Is it possible I could be now?

I don't remember, but i think I've heard that stretching before being active (e.g. soccer, running, etc.) wouldn't get all the muscles your might get to make you bulky,... Is that true?

Er,... is the a difference of what would happen to the muscles from stretching and not doing that?
cus i've seen athletic people that are skinny and look like in good shape, while i still see other in fit people that look bulky which i think is muscle....

Please answer and Thank You! :D

Mosquitos are attracted to me like hell. If I'm in a place full of mosquitos, I'll get 5 bites whilst the other person will get 1. I have a backyard that I refuse to go near, but my parents insist on keeping the porch door wide open so the "fresh air" will get in, along with a million of those horrible winged needles. There's nothing I can do to convince my parents to keep it closed. I have 20+ bites on my arms and legs, and can't stop scratching to the bleeding point. Now it looks like they're scarred, and even though I did stop scratching, many weeks have passed and they're not going away; I'll have to start school in long pants. I've tried something called AfterBite, it doesn't help at all and all the toxic repellents work for about 3 hours. I'm told to keep myself in my room and keep the door closed, and even so, they keep getting in and I see them every day. Don't tell me to "stop scratching", I need info on mosquito scars and how to keep em away, etc. Please help, I'm desperate!

Lately I have been very emotional....I cry over everything...I have never been this bad before..I can see a commercial and start crying...almost every time I watch a talk show (usually Montel or Dr. Phil sometimes...) I cry. I cried when I was watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch with my little cousin...what is wrong with me? I know I have severe depression, but I never used to cry...I would hold it in or cut, even if I do cut I still cry all the time...why am I so emotional lately?? Thanks in advance!

I have started a new diet and I am really hungry but I am not so worried about that as I am extremely motivated...I just want to make sure I am eating enough food metabolism wise.
Breakfast 1 egg, 1 slice whole wheat toast light cream cheese coffee, medium orange
Lunch salad with spinach cucumber salsa mozzarella cheese chicken breast 2 tbsp light ranch dressing nonsweetened ice tea
Dinner 1 cup home made veggie soup (carrots cellery onion chicken broth a trace of chicken) 1/2 a turkey sandwich with a trace of mayo. 1 cup 1% milk
desert sugar free popsicle

I am still in the morbidly obese category so I am assuming I am hungry because it is so different from the amout and type of food I used to eat and that I will get used to it. I am also trying to drink water throughout the day 4-6 glasses is where I am at right now (from drinking none before)
Thanks

Ok, so for the past three days, I had diahrrea and before pooping (pardon my french) i get really bad cramps so i nearly sprint to the bathroom. Today i just had bad cramps before going to the bathroom but not diahrrea. What may cause this?

P.S. just a few weeks ago i had constipation problems, and now its diahrrea!

My greyhound dog was diagnosed with bone cancer and is undergoing treatment, and I have three kids and work part time. I can't seem to get up the drive to finish this semester and it's just starting! On top of that, I have ADD and don't understand a thing in class. I have two more classes until I graduate. What should I do? I feel guilty about dropping out and losing the money, but I am lost and frustrated and overwhelmed. Should I just get myself to class or what would you do?

These are middle aged women, like myself, whom I work with every day. I lost 20 lbs. last winter but my weight has been stable for over 6 months. I don't have an eating disorder, I'm just taking better care of myself.

I have had extreme pain, swelling and stiffness in my big toe joint for three months. It started there and within about 3 weeks my ankle swelled up and the pain is excruciating. I can't put a shoe on anymore because my foot is so swollen. I had MRIs with an orthopedist which showed synovitis and rheumatoid problems. I have an appt. with the rheumatologist in a couple of weeks and will suffer until then. The ortho mentioned gout. My symptoms seem consistent however I am a 30 year old woman, 5'7", 115 pounds and my diet is really healthy - I make all my food which is usually chicken or fish, veggies, fruit, cereal, brown rice...not bad at all. I don't fit the profile of gout at all. Is it possible???
