I have persistent, but not terrible or cystic acne, I've tried everything, but now i'm getting resistant to my antibiotics,...I've just started using topical antibiotics...but am always dehydrated...Can you tell me if water plays a big role in curing acne? If so, how? Especially tell me if you've had the same experience.

my 13 month old daughter breaks out in hives all over her body whenever she eats ketchup. Today she drank cranberry juice earlier and milk with strawberry syrup in it. I don't know which one it is or if it is both, but she broke out everywhere. She also breaks out when she drinks cherry koolaid. What could be in all of this stuff to make her alergic to it. like maybe red dye?? any info would be great. Oh and also italian dressing she breaks out as well.

there have been times in my life I have inflicted harm to myself. The only thing I have done is scratch my skin and even bite myself, but never bleed. I did it because I was too frustrated to hold it in, and it was because another person had hurt my feelings deeply and I felt such anger towards them. I had trouble communicating it to them. I hadn't done this in years but recently it happened again once. I don't think I have serious problems, and I know why it happens, but do you think I need counseling just because of this? Please no judgmental answers. Thank you.

After a long time with Tylenol PM (Over 5 months) I had a lot of trouble getting off of it. I had to deal with not being able to sleep, headaches like you can't believe, and things like that. Well about 4 months later I can sleep on my own, but I still get the headaches, and I still have this feeling like I'm not all there, like this guy talks about...

Someone told me a few years back on a medical messageboard that if you put 2 cups of epsom salt in a warm bath and soak in it for half an hour your body acne will go away. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried it and did it work?

i dont eat meat, or fast food.
But i do eat junk food like any one else.
I could eat more veggies.
My BMR burns 1500 calories a day.

How can I lose 10 pounds by november?
I know im not "huge" but just because i am 140 does not mean i cant lose alittle weight (for ppl who think i dont need to lose weight).

does meditating automatically mean you become psychic, like having telepathy and other gifts/talents.

i don't want to learn how to meditate or anything, but it's mainly because i'm afraid i will become psychic, and start randomly sending thoughts to people.

and i suffer with depression and some other issues, so i have some horrible thoughts sometimes, even though i don't mean to, so naturally i wouldnt want my friends or family knowing about them. :(

I woke up saturday feeling nausea and later developed a stomach pain on my left side. I only threw up after making myself because it was the only way i could find relief. These symptons lasted until Monday and slowly subsided over the next few days. On wednesday i developed a lower back pain which so far has lasted a couple of days. Any ideas about what was the matter with me?

I'm sure it's been asked countless times...
But how can i get my teeth to their whitest... I brush my teeth 2 times a day, i don't drink pop and rarely eat sugars... It's not like my teeth are YELLOW!! =P
But i just see people walking around with their nice and WHITE smiles and it makes me pretty envious...

Could it be that i have weak enamel? =(
If so how could i strengthen my enamel or just whiten my teeth in general =)

i have a tendency to daydream alot. no matter what im doing my mind keeps drifting off into dreamland, i usually daydream about things i really want to happen. i know that daydreaming is a sign of creativity, but all this does is make me get my hopes up too high and end up dissapointed, yes, there are a couple of goals that i want to meet that i daydream about, but they are too long term. i need someway to keep from getting distracted. and no, i cant take any medicine for it.

Recently I have been having trouble sleeping. I usually fall asleep and wake up around 2 hours later and the never fall back asleep. And then have to get up for work. I'm a zombie.

So a couple of times I have tried taking 2 different brands of over the counter sleep medicines and I don't fall asleep at all!
I just lay there in a crazy coma like state. It's a nightmare.
I would love some help with this.

If needed are they alerted through a cell phone/PDA or a pager?
I wouldn't think pagers since they are pretty old technology, but i'm not sure.
