I have braces and today the dentist told me that i needed them taken out. they said it would probably be best for me to wait until I get my braces off. Which they said would probably be in maybe..6 months..at the longest. Only one of them is poking through. I'm terrified at the thought of getting put to sleep.I plan on telling them to do it while im awake. If I do this what should i expect? any advice and help would be great! thanks =)

When I moved out of my old place, I was threatened by my landlord. She chased me around the house, called me names and used threatening words like "Don't you dare to talk back to me or I throw you out of the window." To be honest, this is the first time I engaged in a situation like this. I was so scared. Ever since, I feel like I am losing myself. I always feel scared and someone is going to hurt me. I can't sleep well and always wake up in the middle of the night. My friends said I used to be cheerful and make jokes around. However, I don't feel like talking these days. It's hard for me to concentrate at work. I don't want to do anything over the weekend but stay home. What should I do?

Yet they go to the Dr's and load up on anti-biotics and eat the worst types of food and think that is okay.
Is it because of the commercials telling you how bad it is and how they televise smoking as 'cool'.
Why don't they have commercials warning you of what Dunkin' Donuts can do to you? Look how many people dye from obesity or health issues linked to obesity!

I am stressed out and it is the first day of school. Stress is EVERYWHERE and I can't deal with it! It has been like this for about 1 and a half years now, and it's getting really out of control. I come home and cry for hours to relieve it- sometimes that doesn't even work. It makes me feel mad at others too and I can't calm myself down. I am having difficulty sleeping due to stress and anxiety.. I'm always anxious. Does anyone have this problem? Does anyone know someone who has this problem? Does anyone have a CURE..? Any pills, liquids, patches, aromatherapy- anything? Also, any ways to excersize? I heard excersizing can reduce stress A LOT but I'm not sure how to balance SCHOOL, HOMEWORK (so much!!), excersizing, and personal hygene (long, cleaning showers, cleaning face before bed, moisturizing- i'm a hygene freak too) . Please let me know how I can excersize QUICKLY, and reduce my stress.
Thanks in advance.

Being a guy, I always heard that the male sex drive peaks at around age 19 and the female sex drive peaks at around 38.

I can tell you that age 36, I do not notice much of a change in my own, but the wife only seems interested in it about once a week? When we were dating 18 years ago, it was every night.

When we discuss it, she always tells me that I am pokey when we do because I always seem to be able to wait until she does before I do. But by the time that happens, it is pretty slick...So it takes me a little while longer...Plus, hey, I like it to savor the time...

1. Is it an urban legend about when the female sexual peak is?
2. Is it weird that I can control the "invasion".
3. Will it get better when our 2 kids get a little older ?

I've had a problem with not being as big or strong or strangely enough hairier as most kids, but I don't really know how to overcome the jealousy of kids who are. Don't get me wrong, I work out alot and am involved in several different sports. I have a muscular body but am pretty short, which makes other people look down on me, no matter how strong I am. I know that I could just keep working out until I'm gigantic, but I need some kind of positive reinforcement to show myself that I'm still worth it to people no matter how big they are. Help?

when i was in highschool i severely sprained my left ankle, that was over 6 years ago and my ankle never completely healed... it has been doing great for a long while but has recently been giving me problems (in the last week - 2 weeks). it started as the pain you get when you tweak your ankle or step on it the wrong way, then moved to the front (where my foot bends). in the last couple days it has moved to my heel as well. i'm trying to ice it as much as i can, but it's hard to stay off of it as i work 3 jobs that all require me to stand for my shifts... are there any braces that you guys recommend? any stretches or home remedies you know of? i don't have insurance so i try to steer away from the doctor unless its a real emergency...

thanks for any help!

Help, In February I got a crown put on my tooth. It's been fine but now it hurts again. Is it crown related? Can you get a cavity in a tooth with a crown or is it a automatically more serious because it has a crown? I'm so scared of what my dentist will say and am too broke to pay for anything complicated.

I'm 39 and have never had a seizure before, but my head felt strange before I went to bed. (kind of like a hangover after a severe headache) My husband said I started having severe jerking type motions and my eyes were half open and I was totally unresponsive. (I have no recollection of this at all) It lasted maybe about a minute or so then it stopped. Today My whole body hurts like I have been in a car wreck and my eyes feel like they are sinking into my head. I'm so tired I can barely stand to be on the computer typing this.
What can cause this and should I expect this to happen again?
Is it normal to feel this way after a seizure?
I must admit I'm very nervous about this....

I did have meningitis 6 months ago. (really thought I was going to die before I got over that) Not sure if that could be related or not....???

what other foods can i eat in big quantities that have very little calories?

and would i lose weight with my current lettuce diet? i also take multivatims for the nutrients i'm missing.

Let's forget about the moral issues here. I'm sure people who have drug addictions do this, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has had a valid medical condition where the pain is so overwhelming that they can't function - and their regular doctor refuses to prescribe anything that helps.
Would you consider trying to find a doctor you knew would give you the meds without question?
I'm starting to understand why someone might do this. I have severe pelvic pain from endometriosis, PCOS and ovarian cysts. I've had multiple surgeries, but nothing even dulls the pain. I was having a severe headache (which is common during my cycle) and saw one of those urgent care doctors. He gave me 15 pills of this medicine, and after 10 years of constant suffering, I finally felt relief. I looked it up and ti was a narcotic though. My doc says I just have to live with the pain, but I don't agree. I was taking 30 advil a day and still was in great pain. Anyone else out there feel the same way?

I am going for a blood test tomorrow, there is no specific reason, I just got my mom to call the clinic and make a app. to get one because I wanted to to know blood type. But will it pick up weed, and if so they don't have a right to tell my mother right? Because I'm not in danger of death or anything.

I am a 17 year old male. I have bipolar 1 disorder. I have been taking Seroquel 25 mg two times a day for almost 3 months. Lately, I have become very hostile and angry. Like I hate the world attitude. I feel very suicidal sometimes, but I never act on it. I have very strong impulses for sex and drugs, and I smoke marijuana. Could this be my negative feeling? The marijuana use? I cannot drink on it because one my shrink told me not to, and two I am an alcoholic. Anyways, should my doctor up my dosage?
