I have psoriatic arthritis..have had it for over 30 years....the symptoms have been mild enough for hot showers, aspirin, and using the involved joints dispite swelling and pain when they flare but recently my M.D. has prescribed feldene-to take when needed for joint pain.

I was on it for a short period of time when it first came on the market, but my then physician had reservations and I've been able to avoid prescription meds for it until now....my lower back and both ankles/knees complain too much at this point and the aspirin only gives partial relief....he tells me it's almost as safe as aspirin...I'm wondering if anyone else is using it and how successful the pain relief/management has been with it...thanx....

My friend is 13 and about 5,5. She weighs about 7,5 but she looks so skinny and frale. She doesn't eat much and me and my friends hardly ever see her eat. She tells us she eats loadss at home but he dad has grounded her for not eating her dinner at school so if she ate alot at home then why would her dad be worrying about it? Also she often talks about her weight and obsesses over it. Alot of people comment on how thin she is and i think she likes the attention and i'm scared this will encourage her to loose more weight. Is she anorexic?

I recently lost 50+ pounds. I currently weigh 180 lbs and I went from a 42 DD to now a 38 DD. I thought that after losing weight my boobs would get smaller, but they haven't. I feel like they are too big and I've had back problems for about 2 yrs. My dr said to lose weight and they would get smaller as well, and that the back pain should get better. but they're still huge! Do you think that they are proportional for my size or should I get a reduction. My bf likes them this size, but I think they look too big.

About 30 mins. ago (which is when I first woke up) I experienced my most painful Charley Horse in my Left leg. I always comsume a great amount of potassium (Just because I like a lot of what it is carried in [ex. Bananas]) and I drink plenty of orange juice. But What is it that I may be lacking of getting too many of to cause me to get these Charley Horses?

I've been using Cymbalta for almost three months now. It doesn't really help with anxiety at all. In fact it seems worse with Cymbalta. Dr. has me on three different meds for sleep, anxiety, etc., but they don't really do much of anything. What is a good med for a person who has anxiety as their major symptom, and depresson as a secondary symptom?

Hey guys,

really need some advice here. I'm on my second pack of Dianette bcps having never taken bcps before. Basically I'm seeing my boyfriend on 1st november and was planning to run the two packs together, otherwise I'm on my period exactly when I see him, however I've been having a small amount of spotting throughout this past pack (I looked it up and assumed it was normal), it has however got heavier today, I think it may be because I was unwell and vomited yesterday (maybe I didn't absorb the pill properly..?) but I'm concerned that the breakthrough bleeding will increase and I'll end up having a period anyway, inspite of running packs together.

Has anyone experienced this before...? What is the likelihood? I am also quite irregular with the times I take my pill, could this have an effect?

Thank you so much!!
xxxx

Oddly enough the first week on this pill, the amount of energy I had was great without bouncing off walls.....nice lift.
Now I feel sort of indifferent (neither happy or sad) and a little tired, during my 2nd week on prozac.
I've been put on 25mg for my anxiety/panic disorder.
....I don't know if pms is interferring with my current mood.
also, I look bloated don't know if its the meds or pms.

Any insights?

to be more explicit:
sure I'm a hell lot calmer, but I feel emotions vaguely.
Like nervousness, anger, jealousy, embarssment,
also the happiness is not all there, especially my sex drive

memory-wise
its increased my ability to retain information (very cool)
I used to always forget trivial stuff.
Negetively, my thought process in a conversation is slower. The right words, or what I mean to say don't come out exactly the way I would normally say without meds.

Just really negative, self-defeating, victim-type thoughts when very tired and especially when having the flu?

I was getting my teeth cleaned and the hygienist was sitting at the end of the dentist's chair leaning over my face. She was quite overweight and her breasts were resting on either side of my head, like those hats that cover the ears.

I am cramping in my tummy and back but I just had my period less than two weeks ago. Do you know any reason for feeling like this mid-cycle? I don't know if it matters but I'm 20, in the last year my pms/periods have been out of control uncomfortable, and I'm not sexually active. Thanks.

why do many people say that it's bad? IT IS A GOOD THING! first of all, it gets your penis bigger! also, it gives you less chance of infection, way less chance since all that foreskin wil be gone. and for sex, it gives alot better feeling since the head is very sensitive and without circumcision, the foreskin will be covering your head, keeping you from getting that extra feeling. if anyone has any other ideas for or against, please do so.
