I'm african american and I have stretch marks. I gave birth to two chilren under age two. The first in march of last year and the second two months ago. I hear microderm abrasion works an I know that the skin cream mederma works fairly well over a few months. I cant afford laser surgery but I want to be a fashion model one day. I just need to know if there is a way to cover them for a long time or lessen them in a short period of time. Will sunless tanner help me? If you need to see my skin color my myspace is :

I have a 13 year old daughter with autism, she's a wonderful child, & has come a really long way. I have been reading that wheat & dairy free diets seem to free their bodies of yeast which have been said to "fog" their brain, & prevent them from expressing themselves more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your time.

I'm taking Paxil. Both warning labels on the Paxil and Advil Cold & Sinus say that I should not take them together. I'm congested, achey, have a sinus headache, and totally worn out. Help!

(Taking Paxil for irritability and mild depression. I have insomnia sometimes and a 3 yr old who deserves a nice mommy, not a grouchy ogre. Peace.)

I am 13 and have just been on a 2 moth holiday. Starting from the 29th of june to the 25th august.I was very homesick on the holiday and started feeling a bit sad. when i got back i have notices i am feeling upset alot and more sensitive. i am thinking constanty that no one likes me. I have cut myself a couple of times but not severly. i think it may have been for attention because i thought no one liked me. But im not sure. I dont want to tell my parents how im feeling cause i dont think theyll believe me. should i tell a school couciller or my year advisor? What can i do to fell happy. Should i see a doctor?

Have seen a fair few questions from people who say that they are going to definately end it all, and I wonder why these people keep talking about it, are you trying to prove to yourself one last time that everyone and the whole world is screwed up so it'll give you more to push you over the edge?
Or is it because deep down inside, you still have a little bit of hope or reservation about committing suicide?
I'm not asking this to offend anyone, it's genuine curiousity.
And yes, I go through the same thing too with severe depression and suicidal thoughts, but if I was seriously going to end it all, I wouldn't be sitting on a computer and talking about it.
No, I'm not trying to piss people off, this is a legit question.

Friends sent me a link about an “upcoming vaccine for MS:
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00382629

and I did read it eagerly. They also sent me the recent “announcement” about it, as well:
http://mni.mcgill.ca/announce/MS_Vaccine_Bar-Or_2007_English.htm

But, not being a doctor, or particularly understanding of med-speak, protocols, or processes involved in new drug testing, I cannot make heads or tails of the realities of the situation, and I seek some real-speak about this issue, clarity with regard to these pieces. For those who are able to do so, can you please read these news pieces and tell me:

1. IS IT, INDEED, TRUE THAT A VACCINE FOR MS HAS BEEN DISCOVERED?

2. IS IT IN ANY RESPECT COMING TO MARKET IN THE UNITED STATES ANY TIME SOON?

3. WHAT, EXACTLY, DOES IT DO? IS IT A TRUE “CURE”?

I greatly appreciate your time and the great courtesy you are doing in helping make this clear.

I have had a cast on my lower leg for the fracture of a small bone in the base of my toe.
The cast has now broken and is of absolutely no use at all as it no longer immobilizing my foot.
I can't get an appointment to have it removed for 3 weeks and so I was hoping that someone could give me some tips on how to remove this, now cumbersome and totally useless , fiberglass cast ... (not to mention extremely uncomfortable) myself?
There is obviously a safety issue here, so without anything too drastic, like the possibility of sawing off my leg, is there a safe way of removing this cast? Perhaps soaking it in water for a long period of time?
Please help! I need this cast removed! I live alone and have no family or friend support system in place, so I obviously need to be more mobile! As my cast is no longer giving me any healing benefits I want to get it off!
Help?! Please? :-)

When I was 21, I asked an OBGYN if i could get sterialized, he told me that I would change my mind about having children, so no.

I'll be 24 and I want to be sterialized, do you think I can get it done? I'm going to be married and my partner doesn't want children either. In fact, he's just a few years older than me and is able to get a vasectomy, no one says he'll change his mind. Do you think if I let my doctor know that my husband has had a vasectomy that I'll be able to get a tubal done?

Also, is it even worse the risks given that my partner will have had a vasectomy? I know that a vasectomy can fail and I really don't want to stay on the pill or go through an abortion, but I will if I absolutely have to. I'm not having children!!! Why can't my doctors believe me?!
