giving my child gas and putting my child under terrifies me. i want her to be healthy and have great teeth but is it necessary to do this while my child is so young? my child is 7. Do any of you have any experiences with this? my child will not cooperate with the dentist because my child is scared. Could i wait til my child is a little older and more cooperative? putting even an adult under is dangerous. what do you know?

I know they say when you're pregnant that you get a cramp like feeling but my cramps usually hurt more than this so I dont think its that. This feels like a tight muscle in my pelvis area.
Anyone have any idea what it could be??

P.S I know its not an infection because I just got off an antibiotic.

Have pharmaceutical companies promoted the notion that every little negative thought, feeling, or reaction is somehow a symptom of "mental illness" "depression" or some new, never-before-heard-of "disorder", simply in order to push their product - mood and mind-altering drugs?

Is this why so many people, nowadays, are classified as "mentally ill", "disturbed", or "depressed"? Discuss.

this is weird... i kissed a girl in her mouth and boobs last month... we never did anything down there, neither unbutton our jeans.... yesterday she told me that she had visited the doc because she had warts in her genitals, she has HPV, and that's new for her. Last month she didn't have any warts, and we just kissed without any touching down in her genitals... My questions are: is it possible that i'm infected with just kissing her mouth and boobs a month ago? is it a rule that if you have warts down there you must have HPV in your mouth?

thank you!!

For the last few days I've noticed an increase in my anxiety. I've been more jittery than ever. My blood pressure has slightly increased, its not high yet but in the upper normal range. Each morning I wake up and my stomach irritates me. It irritates me from time to time and settles down when i eat. Im not sure if its stress related or something worse. I am a hypochondriac so now i think i got diabetes or something else like a stomach ulcer. I havent been eating healthy lately but the last few days i tried to because of my stomach. Im hoping this is all stress cause ive been very stressed with school work and preparations for college. I am only 17 but i have bad anxiety and bad hypochondria. I currently see a doctor for anxiety but havent been to a physician lately and am trying to get to one within the next few weeks. My left leg also feels weird sometimes, it doesnt feel weak but a little different. Im mainly concerned about my stomach right now and is why i think i have diabetes

Ok, so about twenty minutes ago I was on my trampoline doing flips when my knee hit a spot just below my eye, or on my cheek.

The pain went away pretty fast...it really hurt when it happened but it's ok now. The spot where I hit it is pinkish and I don't think it's swelling.

I've put ice on it and everything, but will this turn into a big nasty bruise or something??? I really could do without one on my face.... Can someone help please?

My boyfriend said he wants to put it in the back door. I have heard it can feel good, but then I heard it can make your colon fall out. Will my bowel movements be shaped like his penis? PLEASE HELP!!!

OK, this is kinda gross, but a serious question. Sometimes I get these little things in my mucus, like when I hock up stuff. They're small, about the size of a small pebble (maybe 1/3 the size of a tic-tac), and not much color, a bit yellowish. They're kinda bumpy looking, and soft. If I put it on my finger, I can smell it. But if I break it apart/mash it in my fingers, oh my god, it reeks horribly like a bathroom or outhouse type of smell, kind of smells like butt or dirty socks. I have no idea what these are and I get them randomly, not just when sick or something like that. What the hell are these smelly nuggets? Some kind of lymphatic waste?

since some insects suck human blood for food like mosquito, if they suck blood from a person that has AIDS and then switch to a healthy person, it's still fluid transmission right?

She was the young woman, who over twenty years ago in Australia, was shot in the face. I have always thought that with the strides that have been made in plastic surgery that she was someone who truly deserved to have something done, if it was still possible.

I have been having back and neck pains lately. Nothing that is bothering my majorly, but it is bothering me. I wear a prothesis, so I am sure that has something to do with it. No matter how many times I stretch throughout the day, it still doesn't help. I have been thinking about going to see a chiropractor, but I have heard once you go, it may be hard to stop. I would have no problem with stopping. Just wanted to see some opinions. Thanks.

My father is 75 and had a spinal cord tumor (very large) removed in 1996. He has had a deterating condition for the last 12 years which basically leaves him home bound. He has a very hard time walking and getting around short distances. He had a mild or light stroke a month ago. His new Doctor has now dianosed him with Radiation Nercious but would not give us any details of his prognosis. He only said he could not treat him with anything. Can anyone give me an idea (Doctors please) of what I am faced with? Will this eventally kill him? Will this cause other Life-Threatening conditions? WE are getting a 2nd opinion. Please help me understand this.

The last disk in my back is herniated. It hurts pretty much all the time if I don't take my medicine. I've been on pills for about 3 years and I really don't want to take them for the rest of my life. Has anyone had the surgery? If so what was the procedure and did it work? I've heard they do it endoscopic now too and I'm interested to hear if it works.

Thanks!
