I am still wondering if I should be worried about my leg. It is now seven weeks since I tore the muscle on a trip to France.
I have only seen a physiotherapist is the UK who got my foot back on the ground after 4 weeks. I still suffer with swelling which I can get rid of by elevating. But now I keep getting very painfull spasms. I told my physiotherapist who has now advised me to wear something tight on my leg. My leg was also cold and a different colour but she could feel a pulse. She has also given me a stick to try and get me to stop limping. I cannot drive due to the weakness in my left leg and it was too painful for my muscle. Is this normal in week 7?

w/o my contacts/glasses I'm blind as a bat. Now I could see how I would get used to not seeing and develop my other senses but still- it would be quite a disability

Here is my dilemna: my room stay relatively warm right now day and night. I keep my air conditioner on low just to keep the room comfortable enough for sleeping. Recently I started waking up with real bad sore throats.

I bought a Warm Mist humidifier yesterday and began running it.

My question is this: If I run my Warm Mist Humidifier and my window air conditioner at the same time, will the humidifier still be effective?

Hi, I have been considering breast implants. For some reason my breasts have been leaking milk for over 7 years. I have never had a baby and I am not sure why this is happening. I have gone to the doctors for it, but got no answers as to why it's happening. My breasts have become saggy, not too much, but enough for me to wear a padded bra and feel not so pretty when me and my bf intimate. Plus he has commented that I lied about my breast size, due to the fact that I wear a padded bra. I have been thinking about getting breast implants, but I don't want them to look bad and unreal. I heard GUMMY implants are very soft and dont ripple... Anyone with Gummy implants? If so are you happy with the results?

You look around and see LOTS of things to Increase sexuality & sexual desire. But, how do you decrease it?
I would prefer to completely get rid of all sexual desire. I find it is a waste of time that has absolutely no rewards at all. I have no use for sex, nor do I wish to have any use for it. I can't have kids, nor do I want them. I will never attract any kind of mate. So, quite frankly, I don't think I should have to be bothered by the distraction of sexual desire. How do I get rid of it?

Symptoms: I have trouble relating to people, I feel as though I dont know how to make conversation and also I feel as though I really dont like being around people(besides family) at all.Everytime someone talks to me I blush! Im really shy,(as you can probably already tell) I have trouble expressing myself in words,I feel I express myself better in writing.And,I also prefer being with animals rather then people. Please let me know whether you think I DO have a mental disorder that you know of, that might match my symptoms (and tell me what it is ) or if you think its just a severe case of shyness.I would really appreciate your opinions.

I don't understand all the fuss about special anti-bacterial soap. It seems that if you wash your hands properly you will get rid of germs regardless, right?

I ride my bicycle a lot, the longest run being 75 miles a couple of months ago... I had no knee problems, but I ran 1 mile on the treadmill the other day, and my knees have hurt for almost a week now. Why does one total abuse not bother me, while one short run (at a medium pace) on the treadmill hurt me? Should I not ride bike, in the fear I'm damaging them more?

For example, a yogurt and banana for breakfast, chicken with broccoli for lunch and beer and pizza for dinner ever night for weeks or months on end.

I'm so sure of it, after I read this website

http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/depression.html

I've been sad and constantly insulting myself for about 2 monthes now. I dont have any friends to talk to now because they've all said that I've become too sad all the time and no fun at all. I have trouble sleeping all the time, i feel so empty.

Sometimes, I feel like I dont belong in this world and the place would be better without me. I feel as if I cant stand how the world is going now.... kids in my grade have become so bitchy and mean. They always talk behind peoples backs and make up fake things about people!

I dont laugh and I am not as funny as I use to be, its hard to concentrate in school, I dont have that thrill of exercising any more and I dont feel like exercising anymore, and I feel guilty about everything I do!

I feel as if things will never go back to normal...

I really need someone to talk to right now... I'm thinking about going to the counselor's tomorow
