First, let me just say that I know that skinny doesn't mean healthy. People dying of terminal illnesses are often skinny. I understand that, okay?

But it seems like what used to be considered "chubby" decades ago, or in other countries today, is considered "healthy/womanly/normal" here.

I am steady at 5'10 & 140 lb - eating schitt and garbage all day long, due to being in college. When I went vegan (few months ago), and eschewed chemical, processed foods - even eating calorically-dense foods in abundance, I got down to 124 - and felt great! And I have a VERY large frame.

If I was in Europe, or Asia, 124 lbs wouldn't be such a big deal. Here, I had people telling me to "eat a sandwich" or "you look like Paris Hilton - you should eat more. Curves are beautiful".

Are our perceptions of health distorted by all the crap-food today and the people they affect?

Oh yeah: Vanity sizing. Marilyn Monroe's size 14 is like a 4 now.

My daughter is 14 and she is a healthy growing girl. But she has recently informed me for about a few years or so she has been having white spots or bumps on her breast *nipple area. I hope this is only a small problem..

I am 35 weeks pregnant and have experienced some pretty gross stuff these past couple months. When I lie down for bed I throw up and have to run to the bathroom. It feels like really bad heartburn. I have a dr.'s appointment in a couple days but thought I'd get an opinion from one of you before my visit so please don't leave me a message telling me to ask my dr. because I am going to ask him. I'm just curious on whether this has to do with acid reflux or what.

I've noticed that lately whenever I start to masturbate, I feel a sort of throbbing pain in the back of my head. It's more towards the right and bottom of my skull. I seems that the more I masturbate, the less painful it becomes. If I skip a day, however, it becomes just as bad as it was before. Changing positions or surfaces doesn't seem to help, and I don't think that it's the excitement since it doesn't happen anytime else. I'm not sure what caused it because there wasn't really any major change in my life. Well, I suppose I went back to school, but isn't masturbation supposed to relieve stress? Anyway, I was just hoping that someone with medical experience or someone to whom this has happened could help me find out what's wrong because throbbing head pain while masturbating could certainly put a damper on my sex life!

hi. i hate girls. i just do. im a straight girl. and i hate them all except my best friend. they all seem to annoy the **** out of me. i kind of want to rip all their throats out when theyre still alive. (keep in mind, im psming right now.) but they REALLY piss me off! to no end! they're all annoying. or ******* that are like "oh. em. gee." or theyre sluts or theyre prude sluts (the kind of girl that is a prude but wishes, and pretends shes a slut) and i guess all girls arnt *******, but most annoy me. i hate meeting new people. so much.
and what is it with our society and not wearing clothes? how is that fashionable? thats degrading to women! its discusting! an outfit is considered a long-er tshirt and tights. like, YOURE NOT WEARING PANTS!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!?!? YOU, ARE NOT WEARING ANY PANTS! PUT ON SOME GODDAMN CLOTHES YOU WHORE! shirts are falling down or pants are too short or not there at all! its rediculous! and what do boys do? drool over them.

Please refer to the other question I posted. Although I know I should start dating again, I find it extremely hard to do so. During the day with my friends and family I have fun and laugh and smile, but when Im alone all I can do is just think about the past. I dont think that a therapist can help me, and Im afraid to tell my friends or family for fear of the thought of them rejecting me too. Is this normal? Lately I have been thinking of suicide and it is becoming a more viable option everyday. The only thing that stops me is the fact that I am a christian, although this excuse is getting weaker by the day. What should I do, get a therapist or tell my friends or......what? I cant seem to think clearly anymore.

For the last 2 or 3 months I've had gas really bad in my back and stomach maybe twice a month. The pain becomes so unbearable that I eventually throw up. Please help...I went to the doctor and he told me to take beano before each meal. I'm in pain as we speak and I don't know what to do. My side is hurting really badly. I've taken gas x, alka seltzers, I drank hot coke, etc.

Instead of using toothpaste when I brush my teeth, I use listerine. I pour some into the cap and then dip the brush in, brush my teeth, dip again, ect...for about 2 minutes. I floss at night and I use a special flouride mix at night. I have bottom braces, if that helps. Does it really matter whether I use listerine instead of toothpaste? My teeth feel cleaner with listerine and that feeling lasts longer, plus I don't get bad breath.

A friend had tooth extraction on his lower left side of the jawline. It has been 10 days and he is still in a lot of pain. No infection, just swelling that comes and goes throughout the day. And every evening around 8pm or later he goes through pain all along the gums, front teeth, jawline etc. Nothing seems to help. Dentist has no answers for him. If there is a dentist out there that can offer a suggestion or someone who went through something similar we would love to hear from you.

My son's orthodontist just recently asked us to pay $1300 for a procedure done four years ago claiming that my wife's insurance company denied the claim because of a secondary insurance, which is mine. I'm not really sure if I do included my son, at that time, on my dental insurance beacause we cannot find any document to prove it, and I know that I don't cover them for most of the time. Do I have a chance to contest this and not pay the claim. Who should be liable for everything.

Ok well I have 2 kids,both very painful.Right after my daughter my labia became swollen & loose.Then after I had my son which was even worse(9 pounds) it got even worse.I know all about the surgery & ruled it out.Why did this happen & did it happen to you?My doctor said when she had her son she swelled some but it went away.I have never seen any of my friends or sisters look like mine & alot of them have kids,too.What's the cause of this & does abnormal hormone levels after pregnancy have alot to do with it?Any info or sympathy is appreciated.LOL

I got in a fight and had a tooth knocked loose. It wiggles slightly and was wondering if it has to be pulled out or if through time it would heal and be fine.
