He now eats sushi once a day, millet bread and grilled chicken and salad. And eats only twice a day but now has gained 10 lbs in 3 days. Does anyone know why this is happening? Because of such a severe change in diet? Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!

Assuming insurance and cost is not a factor, if your doctor prescribes the generic form of a particular medication, can you request the Pharmacy to use the brand name instead? Or is the Pharmacy obligated by law to fill the script with the generic as the Doctor prescribed.

For example, the doctor gives you a prescription for the generic drug Warfarin. But you prefer the brand name drug Coumadin. Will the Pharmacy fill the prescription using the brand Coumadin if you request it?

Does anyone know why a week before my PMS, I feel nauseated, lightheaded, dizzy, my head literally feels like the compass; when I turn my head one side, the inside compass moves to adjust itself to the North poll. I’m sure I’m not pregnant and I often take Promethazine to get ride of the symptoms for the day, but then I get sleepy, which I can’t during the day due to work. The doctor ran tests on me and could not find anything wrong with me. I feel so ill every month during this time and was wondering if anyone of you experienced this and have any natural remedy for this….thanks!

I just want to know the basics of the mathematical equilibrium that calculates the potion or the amount of chemo that should be taken depending on the person's weight and height.... for example my height is 180 cm and my weight is 45 kg, what is the equilibrium that tells my potion of chemo? and if the height and weight were reported slightly incorrectly could that be dangerous? thanks

If so, did it help the symptoms you were targeting?

ok so my brother lost alot of weight. 80 pounds in 5 months or so. he constantly is yelling at my mom and i. telling us that we don't do this right and that right because were not losing weight very fast. he thinks woman can lose weight just as fast as men and that we should be losing alot more then we are. he also told my mom that she could lose the excess skin from having 2 9 pound babies. she's really not fat, overweight yes but she looks small even at the weight she is. but could he be right? i lost anywhere form 1 -2 pounds a week. i watch what i eat and workout every other day for 20 minutes. i am taking it slow as i am just starting this workout regimine today. i don't feel frumpy. i'm not out of breath and i don't get tired alot. i have energy all day long. i work 8-9 hours a day, on my feet and running back in forth all day. but should i be doing more? i once heard a doctor say it's not all about your bmi, it's about your energy and how you feel on a daily basis. i feel great!

Hey people, lets get one thing straight I aint putting this up here for attention if I wanted that I’d stand on a high building. I feel really low all the time, but I dnt know why, I have everything I’ve ever wanted material wise, and a fair bit of cash, but I feel empty like I have nothing to live for I have good frends, but I cant talk to them on a emotional level, (I’m a 17 yr old guy) even if I could, they don’t really care neway. I cant talk to my family because they’ll land me in counselling yet again, which really doesn’t help. I’m just really low now every night all I can think about is killing myself, to end my pain, and it feels like the only way out; but I’m scared that it wont work, I dnt wana take pills coz they dnt work and I could wake up in hospital, I have a knife in my room, but every time I try and use it, I jus cant, it jus makes me feel really crappy,l like I cant even do that right. Has anyone got any advice on what I should do, (no sarcastic answers plz)

how long does it take for the side effects ( such as weight gain) to kick in after you've started the pill?

this is a serious question for people who actually want to help me.
you can be mean and get your 2 stupid points but i would really appriciate if i get some feed back.
thanks in advance.


i dont cry over anything physical like cuts and bruises or anything.
im 18, female, living at home with my mom, her new husband, and my half sister (their baby) who is 2.
i also have a boyfriend that lives over 1 1/2 hours away.
i work full time and dont really have friends.

when i go to bed, i have a hard time sleeping so i end up laying there for hours and i end up thinking. a lot. about everything. i usually end up crying because i get so upset.
this is pretty often maybe 5 days a week. right before i sleep.
i never really felt depressed exept at that moment. i wanted to know if there was something wrong with me... is this depression..? only... part time depression..?

I am a MARRIED woman and we have our first child. We didn't plan him, but I foolishly stopped taking my birth control-Lol, and we couldn't be happier. I was on the patch and I ALWAYS felt sick... Then I switched to the pill and I always forgot to take it. I want/NEED to be on B.C. but I am afraid of the long term effects and missing my pills. Any suggestions? Thanks! And NO condoms don't work for us. We end up taking them off or they break. Sorry!
