[I know this is kinda long, but I really appreciated anyone who takes time to read it and offer advice]
So, I used to be overweight as a child, then as I learned about nutrition and exercise I lost weight. I was almost at my ultimate goal weight when stress hit me and my weight climbed up almost 20 lbs! Over this time (the last several months), I developed a binge problem. I am disgusted with it, and I keep making the decision to quit and lose weight again, and I may be successful for a few weeks but then it starts again. I eat very healthy and exercise almost every day, but I repeatedly am self sabotaged by binging. I keep telling myself "just toughen up" and thinking I can do it, but the longer this cycle continues the more I begin to think I'm fooling myself.

I think I need professional help -- I hate to make this into something bigger than it is, but I'm very serious, this is taking over my life. It's gone on for too long and it needs to end. The problem is ...(cont.)

I was talking to my doctor recently about how I feel before and during my period. My doctor told me that I "might" have endometriosis, but didn't really go into detail about what tests they can do to know for sure. She just seemed kind of like...we'll do something about it when you are concerned about it. It was strange. Anyway, I did some research on it, and I read that you have to have a minor surgery to diagnose it. Is this true? These are my symptoms...My periods are downright HORRIBLE! Before my period I get horrible cramps. They are extremely painful. Its often the worst pain I have ever had in my life, and nothing relieves them. My back also aches very bad, and it hurts to go to the bathroom. Not extremely bad, but its noticable. I am 25 and this has been going on since I was in my mid-teens. I have also had issues with getting pregnant, but have had no specific tests done yet. Does anyone have this that can give me insight? thanks!

Ever heard of HR2640? No? Well, of course not. However, that won't stop it from being passed and signed by Bush within the next couple of months.

http://www.gunowners.org/a061407.htm

The bill, officially documented as HR2640, will limit anyone and everyone that has been said to have a mental disorder in gun ownership. Of course, when I say "limit," what I really mean is "cripple." This country and our freedoms were formed and based on a bloody hill of violence, death, and rebellion. You would have nothing but rice and a good whip gash if it weren't for a couple pieces of lead between the eyes of those who held power before.

For those too lazy or blind to research this bill for themselves, when passed it will disable anyone who has been diagnosed with any mental illness from being able to own, sell, or purchase a fire arm. (by the way, Bush has publicly stated that he's FOR this law) OH, and yes, this includes ADHD and ADD. Believe it? Research.

For the past 18 months or so I have had low energy levels. I began to not enjoy doing activities that I did earlier in my life so I saw my doctor who put me on Lexapro as an anti-depressant. Both my sister and my mother have been on anti's before. My sister is still currently taking them and has been for five years or so. I have been on Lexapro to try and "level" out my mental status and to try and erase my super "highs" and "lows". It has been helping some lately, but I have no energy. I am a highschool soccer player that plays on the varsity level so physical activites can't be the problem here. I also eat right, don't drink sodas (normally not coffee), and drink lots and lots of water. Even after eight hours of sleep I feel horrible as if I can't do anything much less want to get out of bed. Does anyone have any suggestions to what I can do to get more energy? Is this more mentally related or physically? I want to do activities, but my body, either brain or physical says no.

I have a pretty large lump, about the size of a grape, right next to and under my nipple. I wouldn't really think much of it but every time I lean on something it hurts like hell. And I've been getting nose bleeds about 3 or 4 times a month. I don't have health insurance so I'd rather not drop a bunch of money on a doctor if it isn't anything serious.

I'm 26 years old and healthy. My period has been regular for 10 years now. I have been under stress lately but not excessive amounts. My doctor did some blood work and said everything was fine and offered to put me on birth control which I don't want. I'm not pregnant. What could this be? I think I have probably gained quite a bit of weight in the past year- please help! Could this be why? I have been getting cramps and can tell when it's time to have my period, but no blood is coming out! Please help! Thank you so much!

Start my period on the 16th of Sept and all was normal but after the usual 5 days I keep on having what I guess is "break through bleeding". Not alot but I am tracking my ovulation days (planning to try in Nov) and I'm totally confused. Any similar experiences? I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer about 2 years ago and am on replacement thyroid hormones which my dr just upped. Could this be related? I also have gained 8 lbs in two weeks which is really uncharacteristic since I work out 5 days a week. I also have a IUD.

I just finished reading a book entitled "THE MYOPIA MYTH:
The Truth About Nearsightedness And How To Prevent It". It explains that Myopia or nearsightedness is over 90% acquired through close up work such as reading.

so many people have myopia now because of the school system where kids are forced to read constantly. Since the eye is fully relaxed when looking at a distance it tenses up and contracts when looking close up.

When doing this for long periods of time the eye develops a ciliary muscle spasm and eventually elongates.

Glasses are then prescribed which makes things appear even closer and your eye is forced to elongate again which makes your eyes worse... then your given a stronger perscription and the cycle continues.

I can't believe my optometrist NEVER told me about this, I am really upset, my perscription just kept getting higher and higher and she said nothing... What gives, why is the eye care industry destroying our vision :(
