I wear contacts usually, which i know isn't great for your eyes. I can see so-so without them, everything is just sort of fuzzy. Would it be healthier for my eyes to wear my glasses, or not to wear anything on them sometimes and just give them a break?

I had a few bug bites on my right hand some time ago. I stupidly scratched at it a bit....weeks later after letting it heal....it itches and the skin look very pruney...like it's not fully healed, although the scaby parts have falled off (on it's own accord).

-- Will it stop itching soon and will the skin always look so pruney?

--I've never had a bite that left my skin 'damaged' for such a period of time...I'm guess it might be more than a mosquito like the other ones...you think?....I live in the bay area....so I'm trying to figure out what kind of spider could leave such a complicated wound.

I mean I love to play tennis, and I really would like to build my stamina way up by running and other aerobic/anaerobic excercizes... I'm naturally metabolically skinny, and healthy but I have very little body fat .... and if I run a lot I'm afraid it may burn my muscle instead?

It seems like whenever I finally get back into a routine of working out regularly, I get sick and it throws me completely off track, and then I stay off track. However, I have worked out before right before realizing I was coming down with something and then felt just horrible the next day. After workout soreness PLUS the soreness and body aches of illness, and so I avoid any kind of workout when I'm sick, but sometimes that's two weeks or more. Is there any benefit to working out when sick, or does it just set you back in illness recovery time and do nothing fitness wise?

I believe that there is a myth about the weight gaining supplements sold in those bulky containers, stating that they lead to negative effects like hair loss and acne, how credible is this claim?

I feel really bad and am trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I have a slightly sore throat and a migrane that won't go away. My whole head feels clogged and you can hear it in my voice. Also, I have a bunch of sores in my mouth and the whole lower half of my tongue is covered in inflamed taste buds so anything I eat burns on my tongue!! I have welts in my throat and feel really dizzy because of the clogginess in my head. Also, my jaw hurts. Can you help? What should I take? Also, my sister and brother have all of these dots all over them but it isn't measles or chicken pox, just a really bad case of some kind of rash. Does this play a part in my pain!?!?

- What might we see or hear?
- If we have this disorder how would it make us feel or think differently than someone who is not struggling with it?
