Health - 21 October 2007

I just traded a friend of mine some extra weights I wasn't using for a machine with weighted bands. It has the butterfly that I don't have, which is a plus and it has option for several upper body workouts. Would I be able to gain mass , strenght, or just get cut with this machine. I felt a burn when I tested it, and it felt great. I have always used free weights and I will still use them, I just wanted to know if I can still gain mass with the weighted bands, if I have them set at a high resistance of weight?

Can you tell me what the lifestyle is of a general dentist.

Not to be rude, how much a dentist makes a year in a private practice in New York.

How many hours do you work in a week

How much is Dental School altogether

how many years of total schooling do you need including residency

Please help, thank you very much:)

i feel like my world is falling away. im 14 next year and im scared i wont make it to my 15th birthday. i cant think of any major reason i feel like this, i just know that everything is getting too much for me. I need a way out. I cant think what to do; i cant tell my family, no matter what anyone says (i think they dont like me much so i wouldnt dare tell them) and i cant tell my friends as they wouldnt understand. I dont trust anybody else enough to tell them how i feel. What scares me most is that at night, i lay in bed and just dream of ways of ending it all, and it feels good. No one knows anything is wrong 'cause i cover it up and smile everyday, but inside, i feel so bad all the time, and the feeling doesnt go away. I dont trust myself enough to be alone, yet i prefer to be alone than with family. I dont know if it's possible to be depressed at 13. Does anyone have any suggestions of what i can do to cope? Thanks

Has anyone ever heard of using this drug in a 6 yr old with Down Syndrome who is NOT Bipolar or Schizophrenic? The doctor who put him on it was supposed to be treating him for ADHD but EVERY health provider has been shocked and some have even gone so far as to tell his mom that she doesn't know what she's talking about until she shows his prescription label. I can find no reference to using this drug in treating children with Down's. Anyone else ever heard of this?

I am 32 and I have two kids. I went through a really nasty divorce last year. I'm a professional woman with a degree in Computer Science and I have a great job with a communications company.
However, I feel this last year has been a total mess. I've made some really poor, reckless choices. I've taken medications before to treat anxiety, ocd and bi-polar. I have also been in therapy to help me gain control.
I want to know if a very short stint (3-10) days in an inpatient treatment center would benefit me in any way? Has anybody done this?
I really feel that my bad choices such as sex on first date, dating guys that are scum, gambling, shopping to much, drinking to much, etc.....are going to only get worse if I don't get control over my life.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

We have both been checked and we do not have an STD. We do not use warming lubricant or any lubricant at all. After we have intercourse I burn terribly inside my vagina. It goes away after about 30 to 40 minutes but the sensation is overwhelming and feels as if I have had a hot curling iron inside of me. Each time we make love the sensation seems to get worse. Could this just be the increase blood flow to that area? or does anyone else have any suggestions? I had a complete hysterectomy 5 years ago.

I am 23 years old and have had numbness in my feet and calves with slight pain in my calves from time to time. This has been constant pain with no period of absense for 2 months now. I went to a neurologist and he just pricked my feet with a needle and then chocked it up to neuropathy caused by pre-diabetes. Is this possible? I thought it took a long time for people to develope neuropathy complications from diabetes. He prescribed me Topamax, and it hasn't help. Not to mention I don't like that medication.

What else could be going on? I am fairly healthy (although overweight from PCOS), and active physically on my feet. I feel like the doctor blew me off and that his diagnosis was not thorough. The numbess/pins & needles feeling is constant 24 hrs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Where ever you go. All they talk about is how to find a cure for breast cancer, What about the other cancers that are out there. Why are they pushed a side for breast cancer. before anyone gets their panties in a twist. A few of my family members have hasd breast cancer. 2 who found the lumps and went to get it checked our now healthy. The one who ignored it until it got really bad. Did pass away. she is missed every day. Now that you know that get off you high horses before you answer.
I am personal sick of going into stores and seeing nothing but breast cancer stuff. I personal would like to see a cure for all kinds. If you can get shirts, pens, magnets for breast cancer. Why not al the rest?
