What technique is recommended? I have male pattern baldness with no hair on the front sides and "dead" hair that does not grow in the front middle. I'm sick of being bald, I want to look decent and don't know where to turn. I've tried creams, pills and nothing works.

asthma, arthritis and recently underwent c-spine fusion surgery. I have always believed that fibromyalgia was not really a disease, but in the last several months, have been completely disabled. I am unable to walk, drive and even cry when washing my hair. The rheumatologist I saw told me fibromyalgia is real, even though it cannot be verified by lab tests. I am going to start taking neurontin, along with my other meds. Does neurontin help and also, if the pain is so disabling that I am unable to do even simple things, what kind of prognosis do I have for things to get better?

i seriously need to gain weight...otherwize my moms putting me in a psychiatric hospital. i lost weight and have LOTS of extra skin(especially by my lower tummy and i look pregnant!) i dont want to gain any fat(unless its in my boobs) but its really hard for me to gain any muscle. i REALLY want flat abs but its all that extra skin thats causing the problem and i cant get surgery! i want my arms more muscular, a 6 pack(yes, a girl with a 6 pack) and toned muscular legs without looking too bulky cuz i need that skin tightened. WHAT FOODS AND EXERCISES CAN I DO THAT WILL MAKE ME GAIN MUSCLE BUT NO FAT? i need to gain atleast 10 pounds of muscle but i need 2 do it fairly quickly. wvery time i gain weight, its ALL fat and it goes to my lower belly and an old lady actually thought i was pregnant before and gave me a speech on teens and sex. I REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS AND I DONT WANT TO GO TO REHAB UNTIL I AM AT 150 POUNDS( im 5'5" and thats too much weight)

I have had this cold for about a week now its much better but i have been having a sore feeling in my tummy & today i felt so weak that i could hardly walk without falling over.
Some energy drink helped me to stop feeling so weak but i feel really tired and run down. I do have sleeping problems i dont sleep very well if i went to bed at 9 i will be lucky if i sleep untill 2 - 3am and when its time to wake up i fall back asleep again. I also have depression not on any meds not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I would be gr8full if you guys could give me some feedback.

I gained 5 lbs this week. I've been doing cardio and weights. I haven't changed my eating pattern (but I wasn't gaining weight before working out). Is this normal? You know, doing weights and gaining weight?

A lot of family problems. I have 10 years her junior, she is unmarried, has a weight problem and parents give her grief over this. I myself have been in therapy and on medication to combat anxiety problems, but I am clear enough mentally to know she needs help. I have asked her to try counselling numerous times. This morning she woke me up, she was upset over something mom said. Says she will rent a hotel room and shoot herself in the head, says she will go and jump off a bridge. I know and feel her misery, but I feel helpless. I told her if she goes out today to try and buy a gun I will call the cops and make sure she cant get one at any gun shop (we are in TX btw, I cant go in the gunshop I am 20). I told her that I will get her committed for her own safety. I have felt like her so many times but I put my faith in God to keep me going. She is starting to feel like God betrayed her and that is why she is not looking to God for help. I am scared. I dont want her to die.

I was wondering, what's a sport that if you work really hard at it for a few months (even though it is new to you) you can become good enough to be on a high school team for that sport.

I just moved and I think it may be the change of atmostphear that is making my skin so dry and itchy but the thing is that I cant find a way to avoid the itchy skin. At this point I will try any home remedy.

I am 18 months post op and have pain in one breast similar to pre-period pain. I would rank it an more annoying than debilitating, but still a point of concern.
