I reallly need help getting rid of my lice. I've been having them for like 2 and a half years now. They are such a nuisance!! I'm only 11 but my parents told me to post this for answers. Unfortunetly, I know more about modern day technology than my parents lol. Well, most of you might be thinking..."eww how gross you have lice, filthy person!!" WRONG!! Anyone and everyone can get lice. No matter how clean or dirty you are. You can be someone living in a dumpster to the president's child. You have the same chance of getting lice, as any other person out there. So yeah, help me and my family :] Please!

I was just reading an article online about how rampant type 2 diabetes in the US is. My uncle actually has type 1 (insulin-dependent diabetes which used to be referred to as 'juvenile diabetes' but adults albeit rare can get type 1 as well) and my aunt on the other side of the family has type 2 ('adult onset' but kids who are overweight can get it as well).

The article mentioned that potatoes, namely fries as the example was when asked by the fast food worker 'if you want fries with that' to say no due to the high glycemic index (which tends to make the blood sugar quickly spike and then drop which can put one in more danger of type 2 diabetes). I love potatoes btw :) It also mentioned that white bread has a high glycemic index as well and that those simple carbs, that tend to spike the blood sugar high and then plummet can put someone at risk for type 2 diabetes. It got me very worried, and I'd like to make a (com)pact with myself and whomever wants to join :) Thanks

My lymph node on the right side under my jaw is swollen and extremely sore along with the back of my neck when swallowing. I do have an abscess that I discovered a few days ago and am on antibiotics. It has not drained as of yet or burst and cant get in to see a dentist for 3 days should there be any concern? Or are the antibiotics good enough until I can see the dentist in preventing any serious spreading or complications? How long does it take for complications to begin? Any help would be greatly appreciated the abscess is upper mouth right side and the back two teeth and possibly gumline.....

Ok. For a week or two, I've been having problems using the bathroom. I would have the urge to use it, but then I would have a difficult time doing it. Then, little pieces of poop would come out, but it didn't neccessary look like poop. I don't know any other way to describe it.... and sometimes, I'm guessing it's blood that comes out. And when I wipe, it's a red-ish, moist type substance. Going to the doctor's about this problem is so embarrassing, so any suggestions on what it might be? before I go to the doctors?!

Thanks!!!!!!!

I really struggle to get out of bed in a morning for school. I set an alarm which never wakes me up and even if it does i just switch it off. I get my mum to try and get me up which never works. set my alarm at the other side of the room so i have to get up to turn it off. Doesnt work i just ignore it so eventually my mum comes in and turns it off. I am always late and never get chance to do my hair nice because of it and often forget things and miss the bus. I dont go to bed too late either. And if i go to bed really early then i cant sleep all night. Any tips on how to wake myself up?

I'm semi pleased with my weight. 5"3, 123 lbs. but I would like to get down to 115. I find that it's been harder and harder to achieve my goal weight since I've been on these medications. Since I've been walking and being more active, I've actually gained weight.

These allergies are terrible, I used to sing and can no longer do so. I would really like to get back into it but its very hard to sing and breathe through your mouth at the same time. Sometimes i feel like Im going to faint. Is there any remedy that will work really quickly so I can get back into singing or breathing comfortably at all?

My 12 year old daughter has braces on, and on her back molars, there are rings. The teeth with the rings on them both have a grayish hue. What could this be? When she gets her braces off, will the color go back to normal?

My son has seen two doctors and I am still worried. First doctor said it was his eczema flaring up then his second doctor said it was a case of varicella. I first noticed my son acting fussy 3 weeks ago but I thought he was teething, had mild case of diarrhea, and felt a little warm. Then he got what I thought was a cold only to be followed up with this rash that is all over except the face and head which is why i don't think it is chicken pox. Has anyone out there had a case like this and if so when should I see improvement in his discomfort?

Two day ago I went to the hospital and the doctor asked me to take a regular blood test due to an stomach pain I have right now and when I saw the needle I closed my eyes, but when I opened them again, I saw a red spot in the finger of the girl who took my blood test. Now I’m really scared again because I think it was blood. I got so scared that I while I was waiting for the results; I had to ask her if it was blood but she said it was only ink from a red marker. I didn’t see the red spot again because she was wearing gloves but she wasn’t wearing them when she took my blood. This idea I have is probably a bit sick but I believe that the girl could have used her blood to infect me with HIV. Is this possible? Can somebody do something like that? Should I take another blood test in three months time? Or am I just being Paranoid???
