i get such horrible headaches all the time. ive missed so much school in the past year from them. i dont think theyre allergies..i dont really have allergies. i dont think its lighting or anything..i dont have sensative eyes. i went to the doctor and explained everything [more than once..] and hes an idiot. he just tells me that im fine and im a hypochondriac and quit worrying because theyre *probably nothing.[note the probably. heh.] he always tells me theres nothing wrong with me and turns out there is. i mean, hes a smart guy..its just, idk.

im just terrified of a brain tumor or something. i know this girl who always got headaches all the time and they did some tests and found out she had a brain tumor in the back of her head. it makes me wonder if something like that is wrong with me and by the time they find it itll be too late because my doctors so dumb:/ :[

please help. what else could they be? i get them EVERYDAY. no exageration.

[ps]-just for reference, im 16

I'm doing some research on intentionally inflicting/ or desiring to become infected with HIV. I found an estimate that 25% of new HIV cases among gay men were INTENTIONALLY contracted! I was shocked! Do you think the intentional tranmission of a disease should be criminalized? (It is in about 25 states.) What should our public policy be regarding health care for these individuals?

Ok, so "school" didn't ruin my teeth but I did. I went to University for 6 years and got 2 degrees. I studied A LOT and as a result got top marks in both colleges and have teeth that I'm not happy about anymore.

So how does all this make bad teeth? Well I had this habit of drinking pop all the time to keep me awake and while I was studying. The dentist I went to for those years never said anything to me but marked down on my file that my enamel was eroding away. When I got a job and switched dentists he looked at my file and was curious as to why my teeth had been eroding and I did nothing to prevent it. I told him this was the first I had heard about it and now I'm upset.

There is little enamel on the molars in the back and along some of the sides of the teeth. The front teeth are fine thank God so when I smile it looks normal. If you look inside at the back they just appear slightly yellow but this is the color of the underlying dentin.

My fiancé’s best friend had a headache a few days ago; he was given what he thought was Panadol, but in fact it was 3 x 20mg of Oxycontin. We believe he was given the Oxycontin by someone who is not of a stable mind at the moment, and his intention may have been to seriously harm or even kill my fiancé’s best friend. Could 3 x 20mg have cause death?

My aunt's car was backed into yesterday, and I drove it this morning. After driving for about 20 minutes, I started feeling lightheaded and dizzy, and a headache suddenly came on. A strange feeling came over my entire body and I thought I was going to pass out right then and there. I immediately rolled down the windows and breathed a bunch of fresh air. I started feeling nauseated about five minutes later. Most of the symptoms went away after driving with the windows down the rest of the way. I threw up off and on for a while after I got home and still feel a little sick tonight.

So my questions are...

If you know anything about cars, is there something that could have happened when the car got backed into that would have made carbon monoxide leak into the car? Maybe from the heat vents?

And if you know anything about carbon monoxide poisoning, does it sound like that's what this is? And do you have any idea how long it will last? I looked it up and it seems like it's CO.

I am a 20-year-old male and, due to a number of reasons including previous drug use, my teeth are in pretty bad condition. I have been off drugs for two years now and I'm gradually re-building my life. However, I really need to get my teeth sorted but because of the sheer extent of my tooth decay, I am really embarrassed about going to see a dentist. My teeth are in really bad condition for someone my age and I am terrified at being judged or humiliated by a dentist. They are so bad that they almost certainly need extracted and replaced by dentures (especially the front ones).

So I guess I'm wondering if any of you guys can give me some encouragement to go and get it done. My appointment is next week and I am literally terrified. I know that this will benefit me in the long run and that I'll finally be able to smile and speak confidently without embarassment but I'm just very, very scared about going. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I was 57 when I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in February 2004. I had a partial mastectomy and 5 lymph nodes removed, followed by 6 months of chemotherapy and 6 weeks radiation. I have only met 3 other women who were ER negative out of the hundreds of women I have met since I began this journey. So much is written about and for women who are ER positive and the medicines that have been created for them. Is there information out there for women like me? Thankyou!

Can't they design a birth control pill to temporarily reduce or eliminate sperm counts?

Although I can no longer have children it irritates me that birth control must be the women's responsibility! If the man doesn't want kids, it seems like the man should be the one to take the pill!!
