i have sat with my legs crossed probably starting when i was around seven now i am fourty. i cross them every time i sit down, eventually after a long priod of crossing my top leg gets numb. i have heard that crossing your legs can cause vein problems, back problems, and hip problems, i dont have any at all, but is this true that it is bad? do you cross your legs also? and are you aware it might be bad?

For the last 3 months, I have had memory loss and sensitivity to light and sounds. Most recently I have been getting headaches and blurred vision and a sense of not really being here, kind of like I am in my own little world. I really can't concentrate much and when I try to think, nothing really crosses my mind, it's just kind of a blank out. This all started happening when I started having back problems and my doctor told me my discs were shifting ever since I was little. Any ideas?

The Doctors can't figure it out. It happened to my Grandmother as well (at 70). I wondered if the return of my period had anything to do (strange as it sounds) with my mini Italian Greyhound being in heat and sleeping in my bed. Her mensus blood got on the sheets for a few nights and it was quite messy. It got on me too. I washed everything, but still her hormones touched my skin for several days. So I might have had a dermal hormonal infusion from the dog. Does that sound plausible?
You do hear of women living under one roof getting their periods all at the same time. But does this apply to dogs as well?

My period is scheduled to come October 22, 2007, in the middle of a trip I'm taking.

This will cause a huge inconvenience as I've been suffering from heavy menstruation syndrome the past year or so.

My cycle is every 24 to 25 days. I desperately want to skip this period but I've never been on birth control before.

Is there anything I can do now, or is it too late?

Can anyone tell me the dangers of douching with just plain water? I bought the kind of douche that I could unscrew the top and put whatever I wanted in there. So I decided the only way to douche with out creating an infection would be to do it with no added chemicals, water! Besides, I only wanted to do it to cleanse the extra semen secretions that my boyfriend leaves in me(maybe too much info...) But honestly, I need to know if this is a good method, or a totally idiotic thing that I'm gonna end up paying for in the future.

what type of resources would you like to have available for you? what kind of resources helped you the most? i.e. information, help groups... what were some barriers or problems with resources?

sorry if this is a bit of a boring question, i am a health student trying to get some ideas from real people rather than articles written by scientists for a change!

My Dr. just prescribed Lexapro to me. I am wondering how quickly people noticed a difference. I realize that it might take anywhere from 4-6 weeks to feel the difference.
Also how have you dealt with backlash from people who are close to you who do not believe that you should be medicated. I have already exhausted other options with my Dr. before starting Lexapro. My condition was gradually worsening and I saw this as a last resort.

My mother has Coronary Atery Disease, and I was wondering what are the odds that I will have it? She is 46 and had a triple bypass(failed) five months ago, and had stents put in 2 weeks ago. Her father died of a massive heart attack at 59, and her mother had congested heart failure, but didnt die from that.

I am already having some issues with my cholesterol and blood pressure(it was ONE reading that was off though) and I have Mitral Valve Prolapse like my mother also had at my age, and regurgitation. That is all. My father has no heart problems. And Im hoping to have his genes with that.

Im hoping it was because the people with the heart problems smoked like chimneys and I have never smoked.
