Why is there a huge campaign to stop smoking, but not one against tanning? It's surprising how there are no commercials advising that tanning causes cancer. You can tan without having to see a picture of melanoma on the tanning bed. You can go to a tanning bed at any age. People go outside without sunscreen all the time. Think about it......you can't buy cigarettes until you are 18. You cannot smoke underage. People go to great lengths to avoid second hand smoke. I know many women who don't smoke and claim to be healthy.....yet they are so tanned they look like shoe leather. Why is smoking so reviled, yet tanning is still considered beautiful? The risk of cancer is present with both habits, and melanoma is just as terrible as lung cancer. They are thinking of giving an R rating to movies that portray smoking as glamorous.....are they also going to give R ratings to movies that portray tanned women as beautiful?

i don't know what i'm doing wrong at all, i eat 1000 calories a day and go the gym twice for an hour, and most days i walk alot or exercise at home for 30 mins.

it's making me really depressed and i don't know what do do anymore, i know if i eat less it wont work because i did that before and i couldnt stick to it and i'm scared of eating more case i gain more weight.

im vegetarian so i basically live on quorn and low calorie/low fat food too and i'm not a big drinker, i drink about once a fortnight and i dont have many drinks and i allow myself a takeaway once a fortnight.

i'm just dead confused! help :)

I go into work around 4 and don't get off until 10, 11, or midnight sometimes. Lately, I've gourged myself on whole wheat carbs (for a then-daily total of 1500 cal or so) at 3:30 just to get me through but then I'm starving when I get off work. Is this right? Should I eat when I get off work since I'm starving even though it's so late? And what should I eat and not put on weight since I go to bed fairly soon after I get off work?

Understand that the vagus nerve is not retransplanted after transplant and so Atropine would be useless in symptomatic bradycardia. But what stops the heart from beating faster and faster if there is no parasympathetic innervation to slow it down? Is this something to do with its intrinsic regulation where it does not need signals from the brain to make it beat? Is this the same as "heart brain"? Isn't the heart exposed to unopposed stimulation by sympathetic nerves if the vagus nerve is missing?

I have this large bump on the side of my face, it's about the size of a golf ball. It's recently turned red, and it's been growing pretty rapidly lately. It definitely hurts, chewing and turning my neck to a certain degree usually make it hurt. Naturally it just feels weird and hurts a bit, but depending on how distracted I am, I can forget about the pain at times. It's been growing for about 3 weeks now, and in the beginning it was realllly tiny.

Anyway, I went to urgent care, and the doctor told me it was an ingrown hair and to take some antibiotics for 2 days, and then go to the ER if it doesn't get better. I don't really feel that it's an emergency, some people have serious problems, so why should I take precedence over someone who actually needs the help right that minute. So, I'm asking you folks online exactly what you think. Everyone I've talked to has said it's not an ingrown hair, and that I should go to the doctor, but I trust internet people.

I'm not positive what pain I'm having right now is muscle pain. I'm a dancer, so it's still a vaild question because I live with muscle pain! Right now it's something in my shoulder rotator cuff. It sounds a little like tendonitis (hurts top and front of shoulder, hard to reach across body and especially overhead) I don't really know though... - so is heat or ice better for both tendonitis and muscle pain?

And I usually sleep with a heating pad on my back or neck, and it cuts off by itself in two hours. I usually don't leave it on for the full two hours because I get hot. It's the only way I can get my back muscles to relax and it feels great, but I hear it's bad to use a heating pad on the same area daily. True? Why?

Details....

This is my first month off of birth control pills....today is when my period "due date" is....instead I had a SURGE of mucus-like fluid (no blood, no pink coloration) and intense cramping early this morning....

I am married...have no STDs, etc....the mucus does not have an odor at all....so my guess is ovulation??

LMP was August 16th...4 weeks ago....this is why it's confusing me as to why it could be ovulation.

Any thoughts?
