My mom is 50 years old heavy chain-smoking woman for years. She is on her 3 packs a day habit with no intense to quit or cut it down. She is smoking for about 25 years, and she is always with a ciggie in her mouth smoking like a chimney and every day she smokes more and more. She also likes to smoke two cigs at once saying that she really needs to smoke more to feel good. In a recent years she started to smoke cigars on a daily purpose, she is really deeply inhaling them and says that she likes big smoke that fills her inside. She has a female friends about her age, who also smokes a lot and when they come to our house it is smoke everywhere i'm almost out of breath.
And my mom changed a lot. She looks older than she is, she got wrinkles on her face too early, she has a yellow tar stained teeth and very bad breath, she is always coughing a lot and constantly out of breath, sometimes i noticed that she is feeling dizzy, but she says she is ok and that she needs to smoke.Is it problem?

and carry hand sanitizer with me EVERYWHERE
and wash my hands every chance i get.
im sorta a germ freak.
and i dont like knowing there everywhere.

but i also heard that if you get this. you can dye
and it can make the girls starile. so they
cant have kids.

is that true?
what procautions should i take.
at least 2 kids have died from this.
its a really serious issue.

When I was younger, my breasts developed very quickly (I had a c cup in the 7th grade which I had had for some time). Despite wearing bras of all kinds, my breasts sagged badly so I'm interested in how to give them volume though breast implants. I'm still a c. At most, I'd like to be a d cup (I'm not looking to be Pamela Anderson, just make them look a little better). What would my breasts feel like? Since I have bigger breasts naturally already, will they look and feel natural than someone who goes from an AA cup to a D? Can you please post info? I plan on getting them when I turn 18. Thanks.

My oldest stole ALL from us, I had breast cancer, lost a job because of time missed for treatments, surgeries (3) and we finally ended up losing our home, our credit -- it got worse and worsel.....so my question is....how am I supposed to believe anymore?? I had breast cancer and I haven't had a check up for 5 years because I REFUSE to put my family on the street. I almost happened because of breast cancer 8 yrs ago .... sure, people "give free MAMOGRAMS -- that is NOT what is needed.....the treatments will destroy your family. I'm at a point in my life--my boys are grown and they don't "need me" anymore and if I die, I die....USA SUCKS......

im 18 male and i have alot of gray hairs, prolly about 40-60 on the top of my head going in a streak pattern. Also i have a few sprinkled on other areas of my head. The first gray hairs i got were when i was about 13 years old. They rapidly increased throughout the years. I think my grandfather went gray at a relatively early age but my bro doesnt have any. I usually pull them out with tweezers when I can cuz my hair is dark black and u can really notice them easily if ur tall enough me being 6'1. Sometimes when i pull them out the ROOT is BLACK and the tip is white! I thought once a hair went gray it will never have color again! Its not bleached or anything, i dont put any coloring or bleaching products in my hair. Is this mostly genetic or can it be a hormone problem or deficiency of some sort?

I started using the Nuvaring last Monday when I thought my period had started; the directions saying using it the first day and it will wok immediately. I wasn't on any hormonal birth control beforehand. Anyway, the day I inserted it I had a pinkish discharge which usually means I'm starting my period...however, my period was extremely light and didn't get heavier until a couple days later. Now it's been a week and 3 days and it seems that I'm still on my period. I don't really know what's going on, and now I'm afraid that I put the ring in too soon and it won't work. I've noticed that I didn't have any cramping or headaches which I have every time I get my period (horrible cramps) so that makes me think that it's okay, and also I spoke to my doctor briefly about how my period was light in the beginning and she said that was normal. Anyway, does this sound normal? Should I take it out and try again when my period starts next month?

it happened about an hour ago, my eye is a little sore, theres a red mark the size of a bb on the white part. Its also a little bloodshot, my vision in that eye has gone a little blurry but i think its coming back, i can focus up close.

Problem is its 1am, is it worth going to the A&E or should i just wait and see what its like in the morning?
