Yeah, I have a relative from two previous generations that had the disease, but I'm rather fit and stuff and it hasn't shown up before. Though my eating habits can be better, what should I do to ensure that I won't get the disease?

I would like to walk or run, but after I fell about eight months ago, I have a knee condition in which it starts swelling if I overwork it. Any movement that requires me to constantly flex my leg for a long period of time will swell up my knee. I feel better now though, but you can be sure that if I exceed my knee capacity it will swell up again easily.

I stil don't have a diagnosis but not because I haven't tried to get an MRI but due to bad healthcare administration in my health plan.

Over the last seven hours, I've had to use the restroom 7 times in order to urinate. Granted the fact that I drank five-six cans of juice, and three 16-oz. bottles of water, I'm still kinds nervous, considering I remember hearing about how constant urination can be possible symptoms of prostate cancer or diabetes. btw, I'm 15. Thanks in advance.

and he drinks alcohol quite a bit everyday and doesn't eat healthy??

He is almost 40 years old and I just recently met him-is this a sure sign to get out before it gets serious between us-not taking care of himself??

im really worried, is there any DOCTORs here or previouse patience who had this experience.

my right testicle seems to be larger than the right testicle, its not bigger by alot lets say 5mm in length. I dont detect any signs of lumps or i havnt had any abdominal pain, or back aches etc... im really scared, my right testicle also hangs at least 5mm below my left testicle, and like i said i can see and feel that the Ball itself (testicle) is bigger than the right one.

i feel really nervouse, and scared about it. what do you think this can be? is it normal?

please only give serious answers, DOCTORS or any one else who has had this experience PLEASE HELP

Im 19yrs old, 5'4" and 105 lbs. I used to be 114lbs at my heaviest, and had a C cup. Now ive lost almost 10lbs and at least a cup size. I've had month long periods (light, but long.) I was told rudely by my nurses that this was completely normal and i worry too much. The last shot i had a couple weeks ago, the Dr told me my periods should stop. Four days later i got a HEAVY period. Whats up?!?! My Dr.s seem to be giving me the run around, the clinic is always FULL of women and they rush me out. I live in a small town with no other choices of Dr.s Any idea of whats up???

Yeah, I've just been worried about this for a little bit. I work out and everything six days a week but I'm still concerned if that's not enough to stave off the disease. Anybody have answers to this question?

Both my parents are around 5'5, 5'6.

If it helps, my period started when I was 12.

Oh, and it doesn't seem like I've had my growth spurt yet.

Please and thanks!

I was wondering, how much does it cost to go get the adult testing for Asperger’s Syndrome? I was told that it was very expensive. I was also told that I may not need it., if a psychologist that specializes in it can diagnosis me with out needing the testing. Does anyone know where in Middle GA, I can find someone that specializes with adults with Asperger’s?

im only like 12 im a cheer leader at RMS && i REALLY REALLY want my belly button pierced but my mom said i can't untill im 13 or 14.....i dont know why though...so im going to pirce my belly button soon && i just need o know if this sounds rite

1. make sure you get a needle and sterilize it and put it in alcohol and peroxide on it before inserting it into your skin.

2. while pushing it through be sure to wit it once in a hile so that it goes thorugh more easily. somtimes it will hurt but it is worth it.

3. 0nce it is pierced be sure to get "ear are" cleaning solution or any other type of piercing solution to clean out your belly button and keep it from from infection.

4. after getting it pierced do not "play" with your belly button ring because this could lead to infection.

5. twist the ring from time to time but not constantly, maybe once a day!

6. get it when your young so you can have it for a long long time!:)

its from the internet, does it sound correct?

I have had continuous headaches/migraines for three years now non stop. It all started when I got my braces on. Now I am in College. High school was hard because I had many ocular migraines (tunnel vision) and complex migraines (stroke symtoms for days) and cluster headaches which made me immobile for long periods of time.
I wanted to know, could my migraines for over 3 years be caused by my teeth moving/shifting from braces?

Whenever I eat baked potatoes, sometime afterwards I get sharp, stabbing twinges of hunger (except it feels weirder than that), and I start to feel lightheaded and shakey and ill and weak, and sometimes I tremble slightly and feel kind of like I might pass out. If I then eat something heavy and nonstarchy, like baked beans, it goes away. Mashed or fried potatoes sometimes make me feel a little bit like this, but just a little bit.

What's wrong with me?

By the way, I also can't be filled up by anything with a lot of carbohydrates, like pasta or bread or whatever.

I always find that no matter how much I eat for dinner, at the end of the day I feel hungry and its not sated unless I eat a can of beans, unless dinner had lots of beans. Yes, my roommates have complained. I have no idea why this is.

for example, have you seen the price of fresh fruits and vegetables these days? $2.49 for 1 lb of grapes? $.99 for a SINGLE orange?? It is absolutely rediculous. And this is in MARYLAND. And real fruit juice costs a lot more than the imitation, and even wheat bread now costs almost $.50 more than regular bread. Everyone says that it is important to eat healthy in order to feel good and sustain ourselves, but as much as I would love to be able to do that, the high cost of healthy food makes it impossible. To compensate I have just been drinking tap water and can't even remember the last time I had fruit juice. I don't know about you, but I seriously think that there is going to come a point where nobody except the well-to-do can even afford to eat anymore. We are already seeing signs of an economic slump in the housing market, and food is probably next on the list. And the saddest part is that food prices will probably still remain high as long as there is demand from the rich.

He's lying on the couch and he hasn't said anything in about 15 minutes. However, we thought he was asleep before and then he started talking about Floam when the commercial came on the T.V. He could just be watching Smallville, which is currently on T.V. So what do you think? Is he asleep?

Well, in a previous question, I had a problem because nothing me or my boyfriend did to me felt like anything at all. Welp, that changed last week.

Long story short, he went down on me... and THINK it felt good. (I cant tell, its the first time ive ever felt anything like that). My entire body was twitching and at certain points I was getting very horny.. hehe... i was lost in my own world it felt like... then, a while into it, it felt tingly down there... problem was, he had to stop because he couldnt feel his face anymore ahahaha....

Anyway, my question is, are those the signs leading up to an orgasm? If so, how much longer would he had to have gone to get me there?

I feel like an idiot asking but ive never had/come close to having one, and that expeiriece was totally new for me.

Thankyah if you could help.
