I have no idea what the deal is..I can see fine during the day in them, they are bit dry but nothing bad, but when it comes night or if I'm in a dark room..I can't see. It's like my vision just melts away and they become so blurry and fuzzy and I see halo's around everything.

I noticed this bc I was walking through my house in the dark and glanced at a digital clock and noticed the numbers were way fuzzy..so I turned on the light to test it out and within seconds I could see plain again..??

My contacts have never done this before..does anyone have any idea why? I have an appt. next week with the eye doctor again, but this is just really odd!

I'm tryung to lose 5-10 pounds of body fat (in no specific amount of time). Would anyone reccomend a good workout video that can work up a sweat but isn't too advanced for a beginner?

At first I didn't pay attention when it was about 14-18 cups of water a day. I also have a past hystory of getting bladder infections whenever I over pushed myself- I do this quiet a lot. Recently, when I've had to push myself beyond normal duty- I'm in the middle of a move- lifting tons of weight, worry, stress, ect. But all of a sudden, about 6 weeks ago, my water intake went from 30-35 cups a day and I'm cold all the time. I weigh 167, and am 5 '6 inches, 20 years old- I just lost 50 lbs, and kinda fast (I wonder if this is also part of it, because in the past it was always really hard for me to loose weight.) This past week, I've gotten a little bit of brown stuff in my urin whenever I go the bathroom. If I don't drink enough water, I get sluggish, my kidneys really hurt, and I get really really thirsty, and my bowl movements are as if I drank nothing (and I NEVER have had problems in the past with this.) I'm not on insurance, but I need to know- is something really wrong?

I am 13 and will soon be turning 14. I started my periods when i was in the 5th or 6th grade so i was porbably 10-11. I have NEVER used a tampon just always pads. It seems just about everytime i wear a pad that no pads are long enough and they leak ou the back and they also feel all nasty to wear. I am a matured teenager and i also play alot of sports, swimming, hanging with friends and when im on my period i feel as if i can not do the things i want to do. So would tampons be okay for a 13-14 year old and would they make me feel alot better about being active in sports and stuff daily? Alot of my friends wear tampons. I just need some advice. If your going to be rude to me dont even bother answering this question.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter for any of you who send feedback. It is very much needed and appreciated. So. Im 23 and new to San Diego and came here to break a vicious cycle i was headed on. Little did i know what everyone has always said was the truth, that you cant just run away. so Here in San Diego, a beautiful person with so much to offer the world, I cant even face it because I chose the wrong path and have lost myself along the way. I need help and most importantly I want to Live again. I now have the willingness to be openminded and honest with myself so i can truly recover from my disease. thank you so very much for any positive feedback. It will be greatly appreciated.

i've always been this way, but lately i feel it more than ever: i'm extremely moody and can say the meanest things to people, only to regret it and think about what i've said for hours when they're gone. i feel very sad, to the point where i'll feel sick. my parents and sister dont take me seriously when i tell them that i think there's something wrong with me. I get into many fights with my parents, and they always threaten to kick me out, although i'm only 16. i've had a really bad childhood, and i can't stop thinking about some things. i havent sleps these past two night, although i'm exhausted. I dont know what to do about my moods. at times i feel extremely mad, but i'll feel cheery within a minute. i feel really lame talking about htis but i have no idea what to do. i feel invisible compared to the attention my big sister gets, and at times i wish i could get so sick, that they'd feel sorry for always yelling at me and threatening me.
what should i do, i wanna be happy

I took Prozac for about a year and a half for general anxiety and OCD. I hated feeling that the new psychological changes I was experiencing were dependent on medication. Also, although it was nice to not have so many panic attacks, I felt lost without my OCD as the medication was finally starting to decrease those symptoms. I pretty much quit cold turkey in May and haven't taken any since. The OCD has certainly seemed to come back, but I hadn't really noticed any return in anxiety until recently. Will the anxiety return to the level it was at before I began taking the medicine? Could it just be a one time thing (because I would have thought that if the anxiety was going to return on a regular basis it would have done six weeks after I stopped taking the medicine- when it completely leaves my system)? Thanks...

Sorry for the repost but I think I would get more feedback in this category. I know there are many people who are around 5'4 on here who claim to be "too short" but I'm a lot shorter than 5'4. I'm only 4'11 and 15 years old. I haven't grown for the past 2 years almost so I'm concerned I have stopped growing. I guess I'm being a little self concious but I mean I at least want to be a couple inches taller than I am. Even 5'4 would be magnificent. Does anyone know some ways to get taller besides a healthy diet and sleep? Because that is common knowledge, no offense. I've heard of the pills which are just scams, I've also heard of a variety of shots etc.(I'd like to know how the shots work if anyone knows I'd be grateful.) I'm taking a vitamin called Pantothenic Acid (B5) which I heard increases your hormones or something, anyone care to tell me if this affects height? Any way to increase my height that actually works would really be appreciated. Thanks. By the way I'm a female.

I recently switched from Advil to a generic asprin to save some money. I have a bad back, and the doc's won't give me pain meds mainly cause they said they don't want me to get addicted to them, and that I don't need it. HA! What do they know? They are only doctors! LOL (hence my sarcasim?). Anyway, my question pertains to a pain releiver with Actaminophen in it. For some reason, since I switched, my tummy has been bothering me a lot lately! Why would a generic asprin upset my tummy, and advil not upset my tummy?? Thanks for the answer!

Its holidays at the moment thats why im not doing much excercise but i do quite a lot in school. I know for a fact that i dont drink enough water but i do have 2 full glasses of water every now and then. Whats the chance of me being fat?
