I just got a new job and have to take a drug test, but its my time of the month, can i still take the drug test? I was thinking about asking if i could postpone it but would that look bad? A friend said not to postpone it because that would look like i need time to get drugs out of my system.

I like to eat popcorn. I have been eating it since last month. a few days ago, my dad tells me that i need to start to eating some protein. What kinds of food are there that contain protein? My dad needs me to grow a-little taller. Currently, i am 5' 8''. Last night my dad told me that if i eat any food containing protein mixed with carbs, then i will grow at least 5' 9'' or 5' 10'' is that really true? Or is he wrong? If he is right, please give me a list of foods that i should start eating containing protein/carbs
Thank U for ur help!!!!

I didnt ask the doctor because I totally forgot and was never much of an issue.. I am 23 weeks pregnant, so maybe its just a side effect of it?

I'm 5ft 6 or maybe even 5ft 7. I've always had loads of milk and yoghurts and dairy foods, so a lot of calcium. Has this made me slightly taller and how can I stop growing or grow less? At 15 and a half should I stop growing soon? My dad is not even 5ft 8 and my Mum's 5ft 5 and my nanna's are small, so is it possible for me to be really tall like 5ft 9? Also is there anyway I can look smaller, as I'm thin, so I look taller.

I am 20 years old. Besides smoking for two years and drinking every weekend or so, I lead a relatively healthy lifestyle. I was anorexic when I was 17, and underwent a serious period of stress. Since then, my hair has been going away in an agonizing fashion. I took Propecia for 9 months when I was 19, but stopped because it was too expensive and I saw no results. I thought it might be a thyroid issue...but my blood test have come back negative for any thyroid problems. I don't know what to do! I'm so scared to go out in public. It's finally getting to the point where I can't hide it anymore. I'm so depressed. All the men my age and all my friends have full heads of hair, and I'm only 20 and I will look like an old man before I'm 30. What can I do?

Hi,

I've just been to the dentist for a tooth scale and polish. However, I've noticed there are still bits of tartar left behind and in front of some of my teeth? Has my dentist been lazy/incompetent?

How much tartar needs to be built up before it causes problems?

For the past two years I've been having on/off problems with gum inflammation/bleeding. The past couple of weeks has been one of those times. I got the scaling done yesterday and there are small, what I believe are referred to as 'pockets' in the gumline below some of my teeth, where the tartar used to be. Will the bits of tartar that are left stop my gums healing?

Unfortunately, I can't treat my gum inflammation with corsodyl because it has started causing blisters on my tongue, and the skin at the top of my gums to become sore. Is their an alternative? When I asked my dentist she just told me to floss and use listerine. (Listerine = prevention, I need a cure).

Please advise.

Craig

Hi!

I'm a 25 year old male, and have noticed my hairline receding fairly rapidly over the last 3 months, mostly in the corners on the top of my forehead, somewhat more on one side that the other. It's still okay enough that I can cover up the bald spot with my bangs, but I'm concerned it will get much worse. Before this, I've always had a perfectly thick head of hair, albeit with a pretty bad itchy-scalp problem.

The reason I'm concerned is how fast this happened (just started getting bad 3 months ago) and I have absolutely no family history of balding whatsoever- not on my mother's side or my father's side. I went to the doctor and they did some bloodwork, said everything looks normal. They also said that because it's from the front it's probably hereditary.

I'm just so confused because it's so rapid and no one in my family has ever gone bald!!

Any suggestions? Did the doctor miss something?

Thanks!

She was in relatively good health until she was diagnosed a few months ago. The cancer has spread all over her liver, to her lungs, and to other places, but I'm not sure where. She had surgery, but the doctors didn't remove anything because they said the cancer was too widespread. They decided to try chemo, but after a few sessions, they said her body was rejecting it- which I assume to mean that it wasn't working- and for some reason, decided not to try any more treatments. They have given her less than 6 months. I love her very dearly, but I do not feel that I can ask her or her immediate family question about her medical care because it might seem intrusive. I am struggling emotionally with this news, however. I don't understand why further treatments wouldn't be done. What would make a doctor decide to stop chemo all together after such a short time? Could there be something I'm not hearing through the family grapevine about her condition that would make chemo no longer an option?

I went clubbing last weekend and got into a fight with my boyfriend. I normally do not drink, and had 4 straight shots of bacardi. I vomitted most of it and passed out. Anyhow, i slept 3 hrs of it and when i woke up, i was very upset and depressed so i took 20 extra strength unisom sleeping pills (50 mg each) and 6 codeines on an empty stomach. I acted crazy, hallucinated, eyes bulged out, black outs, pale skin, however i did not go to the hospital. I was dizzy and fell so many times that i injured my jaw. My family took care of me, cuz i only told them about the codeine overdose and not alcohol or sleeping pills. It's been 5 days since then and i'm lucky to be alive. I feel very weak and tired, and i've been sleeping a lot. Do you think i will be fine? Will this effect me in long term?

I just recently got new glasses and have a copy of my prescription. It gives me numbers for both my left and right eye and was wondering how I figure out me visual acuity (20/20, 20/50, etc.) from this prescription. It says SPH -4.00 and -4.50, CYL -2.00 and -1.25, and Axis 007 and 170 for my right and left eyes, respectively. Can anyone help me figure this out? Or at least give me a link to a website that can calculate it. Thanks!

This happened a few weeks ago and I mentioned it back then... but I was coming home after riding my bike and it winded me pretty good. I got inside and my chest just -hurt-. I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I could barely breathe and my whole jaw hurt, right to my teeth. It lasted for what seemed like forever. I finally just stumbled into the shower and let the water run while I sat on the floor. Once it passed, it felt like I had been hit in the chest with a baseball bat or something. The kicker? I'm 19, one month from 20. But now I feel fine... I just don't take that hill anymore on cold nights.

Am I looking too into this?

I can never wake up to my alarms, somehow i turn them off (i have 3) without realizing and when i wake up and see that they were all turned off, it's weird. Also when i'm in tired mode, if i actually do semi-wake up, i can't make good judgements, like all i want to do is sleep. But then when i'm completely awake i feel bad for sleeping.
Today i have the day off and I slept from 10pm-9am. Then after I had taken a shower I sat back on my bed and fell asleep right away until 1pm! What's going on? I need to get my life fixed so that i can get on sleeping schedule of getting up at 7am everyday but it's not working!
