What is Down Syndrome and how do kids get it? My friends' baby has it and I was wondering what it does to a baby? She was diagnosed it with it when she was born. Can someone give me a website that I can get info from and learn more about it. They said she was born with a healthy heart, what does that mean? Also they said she only has a mild case of it. Has anyone had the same situation? What was the outcome?

my friend told me that some people get them (wisdom teeth) and some don't. We were wondering if people were more or less smart... maybe it has nothing to do with being smart or not but i would like to know. (^_^)

S Looking for some answers for PCOS?!?!?!?!?!?
I'm wondering if anyone has had these details with PCOS and looking for a support grop that works.
I just found out a week ago that I have PCOD, although like many of you I've been trying to tell my doctor for a few months now that I have this due to my research and in the past had told doctors that my hormones were messed up due to never having any acne until I was 17 (only on my chin and sides of mouth) and messed up periods after going off birth control....for awhile I just thought my body was messed up from being on the pill because the first time I went off when I was 18 I didn't have my period for 4 months. My doctor told me that was normal even though I had only been on the pill for about 8 months and that some women do not get their period for a year after going off...anyway he put my back on and things went back to normal until a year ago when I went off after getting married to try and conceive. We have been trying now for about 7 months...because I was told by some to wait until my periods were normal and they never were...I'm pretty sure that I've only had one "normal" period since then the others were all very short and light happening about every 31-48 days. This has been my longest cycle ( my last period was June 1) so my doctor has put me on ratio-mpa and next week I start metformin.
I also have been going to nat path who thought too that I had PCOD. I tried Vitex a nat. herb to try and reg. my periods although that didn't work. I did find through her though that sugar and dairy seem to make acne worse. I hardly have any dairy now and when I have sugar I try to only have natural ones like honey and golden cane in sm doses. A lot of dressings and that you can get from nat. food stores without sugar. I have rice milk or almond milk too instead of cows...I never knew that they inject hormones into cows.
For symptoms...I have only gained about 15 lbs since I was 17/18 I'm not overweight because I am pretty active although this is considered chubby for me in my frame. I can't loose weight for the life of me unless I pretty much don't eat any carbs and do high intense cardio which isn't worth the burnout that my body goes through. lets just say during the summer I played soccer 2 times a week (running in midfield for 80 mins a game), watched everything that went into my mouth, went to the gym 2-3 times a week for an hour at a time and walked/ did videos for a couple times a week and my weight didn't move...so I wore the biggest sizes that I've ever worn as bridesmaid dresses in 2 weddings. I have thin hair on my forehead on the sides and tend to loose hair through washing. I have pimple year around on my chin and sides of mouth but I';m able to control them with specto gel and not eating sugar and dairy ( before used prescription clinodoxyl gel). I get pimples from sports on my chest and back sometimes in the summer and use a body wash for pimples and get my husband to put tea tree oil on these which helps. I have irr. periods and PMS symptoms that last about 2 weeks before each period. When I wen't off of the pill I was having panic attacks for the first time in my life about nothing. I also have blonde hair above my upper lip...thabnk god I'm a blonde, but there is more hair there then any of my g/f's. Nothing showed up in my blood work although I have multiple cysts on my ovaries that showed up in m,y ultrasound.
It is okay to share this.
I am going to see my family doc in a month and my nat. path doc. whenever I get my next period. I will keep you posted...I'm planning on asking my nat. doc about herbs etc that can help with later comp. that occur with this such as heart problems and diabetes also about cinnamon.

I am 20 years old and 70lbs overweight! Not good! I have been struggling to lose weight for quite some time now. I used to be in a good weight range until I began taking medication for depression. I have discontinued use of depression meds (i am currently on no meds) however, the battle with the weight I gained while on the meds (70lbs) has been a real struggle.

I went to the doctors today with a rash on my foot that I thought might have been ringworm. To my dismay, the doctor suggested that it is Granuloma Annulare - something that people occasionly get before becoming diabetic!!

I have noticed some more discolored spots on my foot (very faint ones) and I'm getting very nervous.

Any information would be very helpful. The doctor said that there is no treatment - and that it could last for months or even years. I want to get healthy - I need help.

I always wonder what mental disorder they are suffering - obsession, paranoia, delusion, etc. Maybe it's indoctrination, but I think someone would have to have a pretty low IQ not to question that arcane thinking.

That's my thought on it. What's yours?

My grandmother needs a lift to move her from bed>wheelchair>other. She can't move on her own.

I would like to know how lifts are used to move patients. More spacifically, the piece used to support the patient underneath; like a sling?

Breast familiarity refers to knowing how your breasts usually look and feel. You can do this by paying attention to changes to your breasts, such as:

Development of a lump
Change in size or shape
Irregular thickening of breast tissue
Nipple discharge
Skin redness or warmth
Dimpling or skin texture similar to an orange peel
Retraction of the nipple or area surrounding the nipple (areola)
Performing regular breast self-exams is one way to increase your familiarity with your breasts and help you detect changes in your breast tissue.

I asked this before and got a few answers and tried them all with no luck. I have 2 young HYPER kids and I have no energy. I have tried over the counter meds, energy drinks, getting enough rest, the dr even gave me a prescription for provigal, 5 hour energy, everything I can think of. I dont want to spend a lot of money on some meds, people where giving me websites but they had meds for extremely expensive. I've tried monster etc. Has anyone else out there used any energy drink or med or something that really worked. Everything I have tried has not had any good affect on me and nothing gave me more energy. Thanks for any useful suggestions

I was diagnosed with hpv last fall, I got one of the higher risk kinds. I got it from my boyfriend because I found out that one of his ex girlfriends had it. I have been with him since then.

I'm just curious if hpv is always going to spread to other people as long as I have it. And on average, how long does hpv stay in your body?
