I'm not (terribly) over weight (205 lbs at 5’11”). I go to the gym several times a week - on the tread mill for 45 mins with out huffing and puffing, work out with dumbbells, do lots stretching.... have strong thighs (still, from my HS football days) and a pretty muscular upper body (at 50 years old). BUT every once in a blue moon my lower back goes out and it’s the pits. I was laid out over the weekend and made it through with a series of shots. I didn’t hurt myself at the gym. I suppose it was from sitting too long at my desk stressed out over working some numbers that weren’t doing what I wanted then to. I admit to having bad posture... and well, I’ve read about it enough I suppose. I’m just here to ask how you deal with it – besides medicines (shots and asprine).
Is there a particular exercise or excerises that one can do to keep the pain from coming back? Pilates?

my Father will not go to a Doc nor eye Doc & has lost most of his vision! age 82; only med's: one 323 mg. aspirin per da. for last few? yrs. only; his Father died with emphesema; my Father has never smoked cig's nor anything else & never consumed alcololic beverages; his health has seemed to always been pretty good, except for above problems & arthritis ? in knees or feet it seems as he limps. I, nor my Mom, nor my siblings cannot persuade him to go to a Doc nor eye Doc. I am so worried; he has already stopped Driving; he's always been a Farmer. my question: is his symptoms (eyes) of mascular degeneration OR glaucoma OR cataracts OR EVEN eye cancer; if his eyes hurt, he does not mention that to anyone (i'm afraid they might); he does not have much memory loss (dementia nor Alzhemiers --as my Mother does.. Dad has gall-bladder removed apx. 30 yrs. ago.

I haven't had my period for 2 months already, I'm a virgin, I have no boyfriend and go to an all girls school so there's no way I can even get near a boy. I went to a doctor already but she said it's fine and it is entirely normal. I've been exercising a lot recently so does that have anything to do with it?

I'm curious. I used to binge on a carton of ice cream and throw it up. I don't do it anymore because I started coughing up blood and cried like crazy.
And I heard you only get rid of 1/2 the calories? How is this possible if you throw up all the ice cream? Like instantly after eating it...

I'm just curious. I know how messed up this was and I really have stopped.

Have you ever broken your arm? What's the story?

I was about 10 years old when I was playing tag with the kids on the corner house. The house had a lower and upper flat, and they had a back porch with metal railing on top and bottom porch. Well I was running up the porch and was going to jump the railing without grabbing anything, just throwing my foot on it and jumping. I slipped and went head first into the ground, using my arms to break my fall. Broke both arms like *THAT*. Broke both bones. The bones didn't make it through the skin, but I had to have plates and pins put into my left arm on both bones. (so scars on top and bottom of forearm). After healing, about a few months later I was messing around and broke my left arm AGAIN while my right arm was still in the cast (because of surgery, needs more time to heal). Had to have plates and pins and screws in that arm. Few years later I got plate removed from right arm, still had them in left arm and broke it AGAIN, right next to...

Well I went the whole day feeling nothing, then at night I had a little bit of stomach pain with a nauseous feeling. Then I tried to sleep and woke up feeling close to vomiting and feeling cold.

I just threw up, only once, though, and I feel kinda better.

What do I have? (I know it's vague, but please, name things.)

I just want to know if others have had the same experience, or close to it. At this point I'm not taking any vitamins. I've been nagged by friends and family to take a multivitamin to combat fatigue. In the past I've taken multivitamins in the morning hoping to feel some kind of benefit during the day. I feel okay if and when I take B-complex vitamins alone, but if I take a multivitamin instead of B-complex vitamins I feel tired and my stomach aches.

I'm starting to lose hope. My husband is addicted to pot. After months of negotiation, he finally agreed to enter a drug rehab and recieve treatment. The thing is, I don't think any program works for him. He just finished his second treatment program and I don't think it made any changes. He still smokes pot. Do I have to ask him to enter another drug rehab? Do I have to finally give up on him?

In addition to all the fortified foods I eat as well as multivitamins I take, I recently bought a set of bare cast iron cookware and I cook everything in them. The question is, will I eventually be poisoned to death or something with too much iron?

about 3 months ago i discovered 2 warts on myself one on my arm and on the top of my *** cheek. I dont know how they got there but they both appeared at the same time. Before the incident i have not been sexually active for about 2 years. I have had several sexual partners all women and wearing a condom when I had relations with each one. The warts hurt really bad when touched and popped very easily with white juices. Can this be some sort of herpes?? If so how could this have happened as I have only practiced vaginal sex with a condom and oral sex. I should also mention that 3 weeks before this I recieved an erotic massage is it possible that the towels were not cleaned well and i contracted it there ?? Its been some time now and the marks of the popped warts are still there. Please someone help. Thank you very much.

i know everyone thinks they're adorable, but i don't want them right now haha. How do I get that even complexion? I'm not talking about acne or zits or bumbs.. I'm talking about freckles or spots. If you know of a remedy or medication or anything, please let me know!

-I think I saw something on tv months ago about this ointment that can clear up your skin. I have NO idea what it was called though.
