I just went to the allergy doctor for the first time. I have allergies to dust, mold, ragweed, dogs and cats. I also have asthma and have had asthma attacks caused by my allergies to cats. So the doc is recommending allergy shots. Anyone have them and think they work? She said it will take a total of 5 years of the shots. At first you go once or twice a week to eventually you go just once a month for five years.

Ok, so actress Victoria Principal came up with this facial cleanser and serum that's suppose to get rid of wrinkles and help with exfoliating.
Has anyone heard if it truly works? How good is this product?
Pros & Cons?
I just like to get some idea before purchasing it.
Thanks in advance.

... for building muscle mass. (Lifting weights)

I dont lift weights rigourously...I do 30 - 60 mins per day and consume an average of 50 g protein. Is this adequate for building muscles on a beginner level.

If not, what are some cheap *additional* sources of protein that i could be having to my meals.

I had some hardware removed from my arm yesterday. When they put something into my IV in the OR before I was unconscious, it felt like fire going through my entire body. It was so painful that I started to cry. They told me to try to relax and breathe deep from the mask they put on me. I'm not sure what it was they injected, but that's probably the most pain I have ever been in my entire life. Breaking my arm hurt less than that!!! When I had the hardware put in (plate and screws to fix the arm break) it was a very pleasant experience. Just wondering why it would hurt so badly the second time???

Also they gave me a sedative through the IV before I was taken back to the OR. This didn't hurt. I was asleep until they moved me to the table/bed in the OR. I woke up to the meds in the IV burning and a mask being put on my face. Just wondering why whatever they put into the IV caused so much pain.

or a father who doesn't speak to you when you get pregnant @ 19??

I asked for birth control when I was 17 strictly for the benefits of not having a bad period. I was still a virgin. My mom told me only whores go to the gynecologist so I had no reason to get birth control. I got pregnant 2 years later (and had never gone to a gyno to get birth control because I didn't want them to think I was a "whore", I was also not "allowed" to take sex ed in school) and my father didn't speak to me for 4 months and tried to send me to a baby farm in China.

Do they hold some responsibility for my situation??

This was 7 years ago, I am just wondering.

Publix grocerystores. Why is this not nationwide. I am sick right now with a kidney infection and what is the use of going to the ER if I haven't got the money to pay for the prescriptions? I don't know why this is not every where and the government should offer all of us free anti's if we have no insurance. Has anybody else heard of this?

My doc said Ibuprofen,and hot pads. I think maybe going back to some old time proven treatments might be more helpful.

I'm 26 and just joined a gym. I've been running for about a year now and now that I've got my legs pretty tone, I want to work on my arms. All of the machines at the gym are pretty intimidating. I want to make sure I do the exercises correctly and I'm not wasting my time.

I never have trouble getting to work and my marriage does not seem to suffer. I drink quite a lot. I never drink and drive. I never feel hung-over. I don't feel like there are short term effects but maybe long term effects?

Opinions?

I have been working out 2-3 times a week, doing strength training on the ball, weights, and using my own body's resistance (lunges, etc.) Now all my jeans are tight, and I'm getting desperate! I am not trying to necessarily LOSE weight, because I like the way I look (I'm 5"8 and pretty slim) but I just want to be able to wear all my old jeans again without having to squeeze into them! How could I gain an inch ONLY in my hips, even though I eat healthy and try to exercise when I can???
