Health - 6 September 2007

I have OCD and have heard people say that OCD tends to affect the smarter half of the population, and I am very interested in psychology and science so this interested me. I'm not out to prove I'm smarter than everyone else in the world or anything, I'm just curious if there's really any correlation. I haven't seen anyone cite any sort of study or anything yet.

I have a 1Mhz ultrasound massager, sometimes I use it for pain and it seems that the place (like back and forearm) where I used it starts to hurt more than before, even if I only use it for some minutes, not in the strong mode. Sometimes I use it thinking of preventing pain, when I don't feel any pain, and I start to feel some pain afterwards, even after only 1 or 2 minutes using the ultrasound massager. Should I use it for more time then? Or not at all? I thought it was supposed to heal instead of making me hurt more... am I wrong? What's good about it then, when should I use it?
I'd also like to know if I can use it on my face and neck, for beauty purposes. If I can't, do you know the reason why?
Thank you

I'm not talking about nightmares or anything. I mean for weight gain.

I'm trying to loose weight, and I just had a bowl of special k cereal and some of those quaker rice cakes.
Will the carbs in these turn to fat when I go to sleep? Which will be like, 30 minutes to an hour.

Will I be bloated in the morning?




Thanks guys!

I had a one night stand with a guy friend of mine a little while ago, and I recently went to the doctor and found out that he gave me herpes! and he is only the second person I have ever slept with. What should I say to him, if anything? I've heard that some people may not even know that they have it, but I really don't know what to say.

And don't be mean please it's devastating enough finding out that I'll have to deal with this for the rest of my life.

admit it over 90% of the stuff in the "news", are BAD news. nothing good ever happens in the news.

and its always disturbing when reading about some plane that crashed or whatever, because deep inside you know something like that can happen to you

so why read news? like me, I don't read news anymore. I stay at home all day, troll on YA!, watch videos on youtube (happy videos), eat some smilies potatoes, have some apple juice and go to bed. why focus on negative news?

I have a kidney failure and the waiting list for a kidney where I live can take between 7-10 years longer for me since I am Type O positve. For now I've been getting dialysis treatment 4 times a week and am getting worse since now I also have Lupus. One of my sisters had hers tested but when UCLA called her to let her know that she's a match, she never called them back. My Dad and sister would tell people how sorry they feel for me and that they want to donate their kidney but it's all talk. When they needed things from me, I was always helping, now that I need help, they are all gone. How would you feel about this situation? I have 3 kids and my husband is not a match so he can't donate. I've decided to stay out of my familys life for now because it hurts to know that no one seems to care.

We’ve been broken up for 1 month now and I think I’ve gone through most of the grieving process. It hurts now and then when I think of him but the problem is that I think about him ALL THE TIME. I sometimes dread falling asleep because now and again I'll dream about him and the dreams just set me back another day in my "breakup" recovery. What should I do? I just want to get past this person. It’s like I’m holding on to every little thing in my mind just so he won’t fade away. He was a terrible person (like beyond terrible) and I will never, ever, in a million years get back with this loser…so why can’t I feel that reality? Why can’t I feel what’s right for me? Why can't I let go?

What could cause this? It can be painful at times, including right now at 1 a.m. keeping me from sleeping. Oh yeah, it is most noticeable when I am lying down. Please don't answer if you are not a licensed physician.

I am 43 and have been self employed and done the same job for 16 years without any problems. It is very physical and I work long hours. Yet for the last 6 - 8 months I am experiencing terrible aching legs and back. So much so that I am finding it hard to go for a run which I used to do now and again. Could this be anything to worry about or am I just getting old?

Is it bad to squeeze pimples? I do it all the time and people say that it can cause infection and scarring. Both have not happened so far. Will the scarring show up later in life? I need responses! =)
