Say for example you were to look on the back of a food box. Which would it be under ? Cholesterol ? Does it include Poly, mono and saturated fat ? How about total fat ? Any answers are appreciated !

OK, so for the past week and a half, I have had the feeling that I'm going to start my period, yet it's not due for another week and a half. It's a constant low pressure feeling in my lower abdominal area. It can get to wear it feels like if I don't run to get a pad, I'm going to bleed but there's never anything there. And sometimes, when I lay on my stomach to sleep, it's uncomfortable. What could this be? Any ideas would help. I don't think an infection but how could I tell? Thanks!

My boyfriend recently confided in me that he had several instances of sexual abuse in his past, mainly one which happened repeatedly over several years was by his own Uncle. I think that these instances has severely affected his self-esteem, body image issues, depression, and anxiety. He is also under the impression that all of this was his fault. He has agreed to see a therapist but is there anything else we can do? Should he tell his parents about this now that he is 29 years old (he never told them when he was a child). I mean for all we know his Uncle could be doing this to his own children now. I feel so heartbroken for him, anybody deal with anything similiar to this before?

I had a couple of moles removed on last Tuesday and had three stitches on my belly, which are still giving me a little discomfort. Would it be safe in a day or two to do some cardiovascular exercise. I am having them removed next Tuesday. Am just a bit worried they may split!!!!

ladies, if you went for a complete physical then a few weeks later you got a letter from the doctor telling you the results from your pap test came back and they needed to speak with you, would you call them back to find out what its about?

On an upside, his violence has subsided and he's much more pleasant to be around. I believe being away from family and going to Iraq really put things into perspective for him. On the downside, he has been showing signs of PTSD and it breaks my heart.

He was never a heavy sleeper, only getting 5 to 6 hours a night before he left, but now he only sleeps 3 to 4 hours a night. Ontop of that, he has taken a second job. It seems as if he's trying to stay occupied so that he doesn't have to sort out what is in his head.

He also no longer attends family get togethers when he used to attend them all the time. He says he is done with them and does not want to be bothered about it.

Lastly, he is terrified of large crowds now. We went to a dinner theatre when he got back and in the middle of it he began weeping and had to leave. He also refuses to attend the college football games in which his nephew is starting.

I just need some advice please. He feels one million miles away.

I've tried everything from meds to rocking him, quiet time, time out. Pulling him out of certain situations. He is 5 almost six and has Asperger's type Autism. He can talk somewhat, but often has issues and outbursts. I've even tried a gluten-free diet. He has gotten quite rowdy in school and they want to keep him mainstreambut pulled out for specials such as speech. Need to try to limit/control his tantrums.

He's got a blocked artery somewhere in the head. He is also an out patient so we have to carry him to the hospital radiation room for 22 days. he's quite old, movement is minimal so we handle him to and after the treatment. We have to literally embrace him to move him.

Yesterday my Dr. called and said I had a positive test for Chlamydia. I have been with my new BF for 5 mos. I was tested for STD/HIV before we had sex and everything was fine.
When I went into the Dr. yesterday she gave me some antibiotics and said everything would be fine. Problem is I haven't told my BF yet. I invited him to come have lunch with me since we work in the same Office Plaza . I plan on telling him when he comes. I really have no clue as to how to start the conversation. I don't want to blame him for anything but I also want him to know HE gave it to me and i am extremely upset that he didn't know his "status" before he started sleeping with me. How should I start the conversation? Should I tell him before, after or while we are eating? Should I keep it short and sweet or should I tell him that He gave it to me and how disgusting it is that he doesn't get STD checks in between sex partners. I don't have a clue as to how to deal with this and what to say/not say. HELP!!

Last weekend, I climbed Mt. Langley (just over 14,000 in the Sierra Range). When I got to the top, I could see sparkly colors in the very left part of my left eye. It was almost like a halucination and very pretty. Someone mentioned that it could be a retinal hemorrhage. What does that mean? Is it something I should get looked at? I don't notice any problems with my vision now...5 days later...

When i was about 14, i went through a stage where i would have days where i felt at an all time low, and would cry and cry and days where i felt a little better. I think this was due to the fact i was bullied a bit at 14 in school and i felt there was no way out, cause the teachers were not doing anything about it.

When i was 15 and 16 and in my last two years of school, my confidence grew a little bit, and i just tryed to get through the day and enjoy having my friends around me and such.

Recently, I've joined College, and im not enjoying it at the moment. I don't fit in with the other people on my course and my confidence has hit rock bottom again. I feel really low all the time im there and i just can't talk to new people cause i think they will probably find me boring. Cause i have no confidence, Im too shy to talk to anyone.
I've been there just 2 weeks and im already considering leaving, i won't know what else to do. Why do i feel like this, should i go to the doc?

The Japanese diet dures just for a week. It`s very tough, you really starve... but it says you lose some weight and you do not get them back for 7 years... you can eat anything you like and eat alot ! Well, I went on this diet 10 years ago, and it really worked, for 7 years I stayed in the same weight and ate whatever I wanted without any guilty. However, I went on it again some months ago but this time it did not work... :( I don´t know if it is because of my age, now I am 33 and that time it works, but I was 23. So I stayed thin for 7 years, when I turned 30 I got weight again.... well, if somebody knows something about this diet and desires to share your experience I would be very pleaseant !
Thanks!

I have had no anxiety or racing thoughts until I started back taking Synthroid. This really concerns me. I know my body needs the thyroid replacement but I hate the way it makes me feel and worry it will trigger a mania. They started me back at my original dose of .075 Synthroid but I had an overdose reaction. This time they stated me at .025 and it is better than before but still much anxiety.

Any thoughts?
