Where is a good place to order/purchase scarves, hats, and nightcaps for women who have lost hair due to chemotherapy? Winter is coming, and I'm especially interested in a soft, warm cap which can be worn comfortably at night and not interfere with sleep.

Thanks!

hey there, I was wondering is there is anything you can do (that works) that can make you just as tight as you were before you had kids..
sex stills feels the same, but I think I would feel more confidant if I felt like I was how I was before.. thank you.

I have heard that arnica can be used as a remedy for bruises... what else?
How about Calc carb 200 .. is it good for common problems like cold, sore throat, flu, headache,
Belladonna 200 worked great for my pimples.. No more after suffering for 30 years. Anything else I can use it for?

Hi. Im a recovering alcoholic clean for nearly 6 mths, & it was my major addiction causing me to lose a lot in life. I finally cleaned myself up in a rehab & am in recovery. However, I was also addicted to gambling, but not as hardcore as in alcoholic. I dont wanna drink but sorta feel like gambling. Is it OK or is it considered as a relapse if I start gambling. Are both addictions interrelated or independent of each other?

i'v had a thyroid panel, and been checked for sugar in the urine but the doc says im healthy. I swear I cannot get full and food only feeds the hunger. I eat so much its taking over my life! If i dont eat my stomach growls and i get really dizzy and my lips get chapped. I know this isnt the place for medical questions, but anybody have any experience...for some reason i still think i might be diabetic.

They are abusive. They are negative. They have 114 books under the their bed on mental illness. They were group leaders for NAMI for parents with mentally Ill children and played out a total hoax for 10 years. Im not ill. They tell each other they are crazy and locked me up in hopes they would make me think I was crazy and never expose them. The police got me out when my boss called them. Whats their illness?

More women need to look better from behind than worry about their small breasts. Some are just lucky to have both.

and it is hurting and feeling odd. The filling material she uses just wears down in 3 or 4 months as she can't use the harder stuff on the front teeth and I can't afford a cap on it.

Can the gum between the two teeth be cut off so it is lower than the teeth. Would this be harmful or excessively painful after a few days?

I hate to tell her to pull it as it is a bottom tooth that will show but it feels real awful. It was painful but now feels more like a big something it stuck in my teeth or gums and it is very annoying whenever I close my mouth.

Any advice. I guess bruxism is associated with sleep apnea which I have or so I read. I use a mouth guard to sleep.

I want to hear about personal recommendations, not who has the fanciest webpage or who was in the magazines. If anyone has actual experience (good or bad) with a cosmetic surgeon in the DC area and is willing to tell me what they know, I'd personally appreciate it.

I've been doing sit-ups for my primary abdominal workout. However, I've been hearing that sit-ups are bad for your back. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, can you name another exercise to do instead? I could only think of crunches, but they don't see to work the abs nearly as much as sit-ups.
