I am in Texas. Is there any places that checks you for diabetes for free without you having to visit your doctor?

I feel huge! I have a bit of a tummy, problem thighs and hips :/

Maybe it's a psychological issue; I don't know, but I just feel totallyyy overweight.

I'm asthmatic, and really busy during the weekdays, so what kinda of exercises should I do to lose weight and keep it off?

Also, I'm not interested in a restrictive diet; I don't believe in yo-yo dieting philosophies. I love food, but I never binge, but instead I just eat in moderation. I've pretty much been around this weight since I was 13, and I want to be thin!! Some people say I'm slim, some people say I'm chubby, most people say I'm normal, but I guess I just want to be pretty :/

Any suggestions?

Thanks :)

He had bypass surgury, after a checkup revealed two blocked arteries. He never had a heart attack fortunately, because they caught it in time. However, they told him he couldn't go on any roller coasters ever again. It's been 8 years. I'm not going to have him risk it, but I would think that after this long he would be healed enough. Wouldn't he?

I'm 19 and a few months ago I started getting sharp eye pains nad seeing spots and stuff. Along with itchy eyes. I went to an eye doctor (a specialist to be exact) and he said that my eyes look perfectly fine. They're just a little bit inflammed most likely due to allergies and pollen. He gave me a prescription for eye drops. That was on june 1st.

Now it's october, and my eyes have been acting up again. Horrible itchiness, some eye pains (either sharp or a dull ache that will appear out of nowhere. I'm also prone to getting tension headaches, which is what it sometimes feels like in an eye), and sometimes I think I'll see flashes of light. But I'm also a severe hypochondriac so I don't know if I'm really seeing the flashes or if it's all in my mind. I can make myself see or feel things because of my anxiety disorder.

Anyway, do you think my eyes could've changed over the course of 4 months? And I already had blood tests and everything came back normal.

Still trying to figure out what was going on with my ex-husband. Before we got married he was captain of the bed. Right after we got married he became captain nap-alot and would get really grossed out if I flirted or tried to get frisky with him. It still bothers me. What happened?

it just keeps getting worse and i have had it for about 4 years...i have it on the bottoms of my hands and the bottoms of my feet. it wasnt that bad until my sister and i got into a severe fight to the point that she hated me for 6 months, but now that we are good again its getting better.....is there any way to take it off of my hands at least because i hate having to shake hands and things with people becusae the dreaded question "EW!!! what happened to your hands?!!?" always comes up and people stare and it makes me feel so different.. also, i am very pretty((not concieted though)) but i am always scared to like a boy because i know that if he asks me to be his girlfriend or something and would want to hold my hand i wouldnt know what to do because he would think its contagious or something && it disfigures my nails so i cant go to the salon and get manicures or pedicures and stuff...so anyways, is there anyway to take it off of atleast my hands and would you care if your girlfriend

I am a diabetic and very nervous about this disease. my back has been itching a lot lately, so I make a doctor visit and he set up a nerve conducter test for me. I am mor nervous now because In the last five years of being a recoving addict, every year something new happens. If it was possible, I would never have used drugs. This can never be a good decision. Please tell me about this test.

they say that you can live ~40 days without food and probably if a 400 lbs man would live for a bit longer without food and of course he'd lose some weight, maybe even 100 lbs or so, but would he die of starvation (say in 50 days or so) and still be fat?

I have this friend for a couple of years now. everytime i am thinking of him or around him, I feel nauseous and sometimes gag. i don't know the reason. It's not nerves, he doesn't smell... i just can't figure out why, and I don't want to be not friends with him. Do you know why I do this? or have yu heard anything like this before?

Many times, as he usually does, the covers will get pulled from me and by the time i get them back, they are completely drenched in his sweat. It has a very sour smell to it as well and he seems to sweat every single night, yet he thinks he must have a comforter on him any time he does sleep. It's hard for me to roll over and sleep facing his side, usually when this happens I wake up because of the sour smell and it wakes me up fast.
Whenever I leave while he is sleeping he will steal my pillow because he has already soaked his. All my pillows that were once perfectly white are yellow blotted. So because of this, I sleep with no covers and no pillows. I wash them once every few days but many days I can't get around to it and just have to go the night sleeping with no pillow and no covers.
Any help?

I heard that if you dont masturbate for a while, and you get arosed a lot, you get blue balls. Is that true? Also, if you're a regular masturbator, who masturbates like 3 times a day average, and then you stop for a long time, are there side effects?

According to some medical researches, energetic sexual organs in men are associated with thighs and even biceps.
I personally have body building friends who sleep with many different girls over time. And they never seem to get tired...

Some years back a woman scientist had gotten into trouble with drug company she was working for when she reported about particular content in underarm deodorant which she said cause cancer in women. Again now I read a report from Great Britain which says doctors have found aluminum salts from deodorants in breast cancer tissues which have been biopsied. But if these studies have been going on for many years now, and they have these proofs, why not do something?
