II was diagnosed 3 years ago right after my 21st birthday with Melanoma Skin Cancer. I had a 6" area, .9mm deep removed out of my back. And I had my lymph nodes removed out of my arm. I did a year of Interferon Apha Combatient. I now go to the doctor 1/every three months. He feels my back and arm pit and says see ya in 3 months. I have read alot about this cancer, and I see that it is very aggresive. I am just wondering if I should have some scans done or some other treatment.?? Any ideas?

Basically to put it simply, i took some penis enlargement pills (regrettably) for about 5 weeks. Well they have worked but my penis size has increased rougly 2 inches to 10" and there is an annoying throbbing, that ive had for about a week. Is this normal? And im not quite sure yet but my penis is still getting larger i think. Any help would be great

basically trashing your character, spreading falseties, and lies about you. portraying you to be a sad character, who is to be pittied and who lies?

how can i fight againnst that?

iam 30 years old, struggling to get well from BPD, and i really dont desrve this character assasination.

how can i live this down?
i can't give into anger, because then they label me as an ''agressive lunatic''.
but i feel alienated because of this, ive had a traumatic life, and trust very few people because of this.

i came here at 7 from france, and i feel very bitter and angry towards the brits, because its them and their system whos put me through this

1. I think I over did it a little with my work out yesterday (weight training - lower body) and my legs are killing me. Is there anything I can do to get them to stop hurting?
2. Should I still go running today? I don't know if it will just hurt more of help loosen up the muscles and get rid of the pain.

Thanks!

I am 20 years old and for the last two years have gotten a pain on my right Pelvic region. The pain usually occurs when I put weight on it or do physical activity, it feels like it is sticking. I also developed this strange red rash over the area, it doesn't itch or hurt it is just there? Also I went to the hospital for lower abdominal pain that got worse every time I had a bowel movement and they did MRI's and and ultrasound of my ovaries and didn't find anything. Yesterday I went to the doctor for severe pain when I urinated and they told me I had an infection, also he felt over my pelvic region and told me that it felt like I had an inflamed muscle, but he wasn't sure how to treat it, "just stretch I guess". Like I said I have had this problem for 2 years!! Around the time of my menstrual cycle every couple of months I start having problems. Also I have been getting lots of headaches lately. So I am wondering should I go to another doctor? And if I do I would like to have...

On Thur. I was working and all of a sudden this extreme lightheaded feeling came over me. I could not see normal, (the things I look at do not seem to be real, it's like I am traped in a box and can only see what is right in front of me, and I am so far away from those objects). I have become extremly weak and very forgetfull. It's like when I am driveing down the road I do not know whats going on or remember what time it is. I have trouble remembering what day it is. And wherever I am, I have trouble rembering how I got there. It is like I am haveing an out of the body experience where I dont even feel alive nor can feel any emotions. Like I am dead, Everything in front of me is black, like a black sheet or vail or cloud has covered my head and eye sight, yet I can still see, and everything seems to be closeing in on me. I am a Christian and have always been happy. I wen't to the Hospotal but the doct. could not find anything wrong with me. I live on my own and dont know what to do?

Everyone suggests that my son get involved in an extracurricular activity. He has ADHD, and we tend to want to put him in a sport to use some of his excess energy in a positive way. He doesn't show much interest in any though, he is not yet 7 years old. Should we just pick one and make him try it? He has tried team sports in the past without much luck.

I feel like since I got my eyes checked last, almost a year ago, that my percsription has changed a lot. I find it difficult to see signs on the road until i am almost at them and everything just isn't as clear as im used to with my contacts. The other day I put my glasses(which the perscription is a little lower than my contacts) on over my contacts and I could see good, shouldn't that be way to strong? Just wondering if my perscription should have changed this much? is it normal? Im 17. thanks

I'm a 22 year old male, about 180 lbs, 5'11". I'm not in terrible shape, but I could stand to lose a little weight so I've started working out. I do about 20 minutes on an elliptical machine every other day, running at about 7 to 9 mph. The machine calculates my heart rate, when active, at about 170 up to 190, the highest I've seen it get is 197. I'm pretty sure this is high and I don't know what to do about it. The only thing that I can think of that would cause my heart rate to be so high is the Adderall I take for ADHD. Is it just this causing my high heart rate, or could there be something else? I know I'm supposed to drink more water than I do, and i wasn't sure if that could be a factor. Any information about this will help me out a lot, tips to reducing my heart rate, etc. would be great.
Also, I started taking a fish oil pill to get more Omega 3 in my diet, not realizing that it contained both Omega 3 & Omega 6. Should I stop taking this and get a pill with just Omega 3?

It has helped my depression, but a year into fluctuating dosages( on my own I lower it thinking it will help the weight gain) I am at least 15 pounds overweight. I have been thin my whole life, a speedy metabolism, now at 29 i have huge thighs and a butt, and bad cellulite I never had. I am so disgusted. I have been staying away from junk, not eating too much, exercising, cardio, drinking water! I read someplace that effexor cripples the metabolism, and is bad on the liver in the long run. How is depression going to be helped with the secondary complication of being fat, overnight? My doctor denies it's the drug, but I know it is. I CANNOT lose one single pound. it is glued onto me. I also take klonopin, but I heard klonopin( i am on a low dose) for insomnia and anxiet can help you lose weight. I am at my wits end. As I write this, I am busting out of my pants. I want to quit cold turkey, but I know the withdrawal is no joke... any other antidepressants that don't make you get fat?
