I have hundreds of $$$ worth of prescriptions that I can no longer use.
Most are in sealed units and still within expiration dates. I'm sure someone could use them. I just don't know of any place I can donate them to.

There's a lot going on in my life, and no one can help me. Most of it are financial problems, and I have been stressing a lot for more than a week, and I keep waking up at night and I always end up crying because of how much it worries me. I do have a job, but it's not for what came to me (bills,etc) it's just too many problems to name. Plus I go to college as well, and the classes and the work stresses me out even more. Well, to make things worse, i haven't been to a doctor at all to get prenatal care because i don't have medical insurance and the state medicaid is taking so long to process and qualify me for the medical benefits, i have been waiting for 3 weeks now, and I still don't have an answer for them. I am very frustrated over everything, i feel like nothing comes out right for me, i just don't know what to do anymore

Since I have no time to join a gym, I try to do alot of walking on weekends and do a 30 min. walk during lunch break. I eat 3 meals a day (mostly with white rice) and 1 snack in mid-morning and 1 snack in mid afternoon. I don't drink soda, but tea or water, if anything. ...Please help. I really need to lose the weight from taking meds (had pulmonary embolism) and having a baby. Thanks!

I work at a job where I am constantly standing and using my hands, with occasional breaks where I have nothing to do and just stand around at my station. I get bored very quickly. Are there any mind games, things I could think about, something I could concentrate on, or anything I could do during these down times so I don't feel like I'm wasting my time and my brain is dying in the process? This is kind of an odd question, but I feel like I could at least be keeping my brain alive during my extremely boring shift.

I had an MRI done on my back bc of severe lower back pain about 4 months ago (the pain is gone). The MRI came back "unremarkable" but did note that there is "a Tarlov cyst at the S2 level of the sacrum." Huh? My doctor didn't go over with me, so I guess it's not important. Help. What made it happen? Will it go away? What's a sacrum??

I have a bipolar girlfriend and I want her to be stable but she doesn't want to take any pills. This is because she went to gifted school when she was younger, and she is very confident of how smart she is. She believes that she doesn't need to take medication. I can tell she is educated, brainy and got higher IQ but instead, she can hardly listen to my opinion. She can't listen to her parents or anyone surrounding her. She smokes weed often to relax but I don't like that and I don't think it's good for her either. She smokes a lot! If I tell her to stop smoking and take medication, she will be mad. How should I convince her that pill is the best way to be in stable condition? Do I just have to wait until she gets to the point that she cannot move?? Any suggestion?
Thank you.

I'm going through the premenopause thing. I was having 2 periods a month, so the Dr. put me on a low dose pill. That worked for about a year, so we are trying a stronger one. She wants me to give it 3 months, but if it doesn't work, she is suggesting a Menna IUD. She says that it will completely stop my periods for about 5 years. Then I will would be 48 and about time for menopause. Anyone know anything about these?

Not something that's supposed to be funny. I do it all the time and I can't figure out if i'm a little nuts or if other people cope this way. My boyfriend, who I was crazy about, broke up with me a few months ago and I couldn't stop laughing as he gathered his stuff. I mean, I was in hysterics. I had someone rear end my car a few weeks ago and I was laughing so hard I could barely talk to the other driver. I don't know if i'm losing it or what. No wise answers please, i'm being serious for once.
