I'm a 28-year-old female and I am about 45 pounds away from my goal weight and I am wondering if too much sodium is keeping me from reaching that weight. What is the recommdend daily amount of sodium for someone who is dieting?

"you are so skinny"

while you never hear "you are so fat"?

I am not skinny, I am thin but some people tell me I am skinny!!! I am just amazed because I have curves (not fat) and you don't see my bones that much. I look healthy and thin ... not skinny. I am 110 for 5feet1... so really not skinny at all.

Why do people think it's ok to say that to people "you are so skinny"
and why do they say that when the person is actually not skinny, but thin/slim.

I would never say to someone "you are so fat" or " you are so skinny" or "you are so obese" or " you are so whatever"

I did become skinny once in my life after being sick for 3 weeks... do people realize that their comments are so inappropriate? .... making someone justify/explain his/her weight?

How often would you ladies prefer to get intimate?

A little background: My friend told me she would be content with sex just once a month. I, on the other hand, want it 3 times a week. I get openly hostile if I have to go without for 10 days. All of my friends though I was weird for that. I am just curious to see how other women feel. Am I really a freak?

I've joined a gym and decided i want to improve my upper body strength.
I am not bothered about being well toned.
I was wondering how i can achieve my goal. I've heard some people say "lift a lot of small weights" and some say the opposite, "lift few heavy weights".
Another question i have is; if i need to lift few weights 8-12 times with a gap of 60secs (which is what i've been doing), how many times do i need to do 8-12 reps per day?
Thanks in advance.

I am 20 years old. I've had glasses since i was about 16 or 17. I am seriously looking into Lasik eye surgery because i hate wearing my glasses ( i am near sighted)

Recently it seems as though my eyes have gotten worse. My glasses work fine when i have them on, but i've been noticing that when i dont wear them, its getting harder & harder to see things i once could.

Question is, how old are you supposed to be to get this done? If i get it done now, and say a year or two down the road it starts getting worse again do they do 'free touch ups?'

Also, if anyone knows, how does sitting in front of a computer affect your eyes? I'm a writer, so i spend plenty of time in front of the screen.

Thanks!

I had surgery last Monday and i've been on 2 different pain killers since. I've also been taking stool softener daily. i've been eating normally and drinking tons of water. i havent had a bowel movement for over 10 days now!

On Sunday night i started vomiting and had terrible abdoman pain. I decided to go to the ER where they gave me two enimas and tried doing a manual extraction for impaction. None of these worked. They also did an Xray which showed no obstruction.

Since then i've been using suppositories, oral laxitives, stool softeners, and eating a high fiber diet. Also, today after i tried another suppository... there was some red blood. I don't want to damage my intestines anymore! Nothing is working and i'm so uncomfortable!! i've stopped taking all the pain medicine but now my hand that i had the surgery on hurts terrible!! What else can i do?? Please help me feel better. Im starting to get worried...HELP!!!!

I got up this morning to get ready for work. I was a little tired as I had to do alot of running around with the kids for last minute school items last. I got out of the shower and felt just fine. I was ironing my shirt and bam, my back just starting seriously hurting (about 2 inches above my belt line. It was like someone turned on a switch.

I finished getting ready for work. But the back pain continued. I took 2 ibuprofen, but it really has had no effect an hour later.

Oh man It hurts so bad.

I think I should give it a day before taking it further.

I believe I saw a news clip on CNN or MSNBC about some website claiming that their music is able to produce some weird effects on either the human brain or body. And I am NOT referring to the infamous, so callled "brown note" either.

clonazepam. It is supposed to restore the body's receptors to the point they were before beginning clonazepam. Where can I get this procedure done? Is it widely available? My doctors do not even admit that clonazepam is addictive, so I can't get much from them.
