My boyfriend is on Vtorin and it has done wonders for his cholesterol; however, he has extreme pain in his neck, shoulder, and now moving down his arm and into his hand. Over the last few weeks he has gotten to the point that he can't hardly pick up a glass with that hand, due to the weakness. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a nervous problem and I self harm. I also go into these rages sometimes when I'm arguing with my boyfriend and I'm ashamed to say I have slapped and scratched him. Anyway, when this happens and when my boyfriend sees me self harm, he slaps me back and holds me on the floor really tight to restrain me. I'm getting help but should he really hit me back? Is this right, and should he get help too? I'm so depressed about this situation

Hey guys yesterday, friday october 26, I was messing around and acidentally punched my friend's knee. It was a very hard punch and when it happend it felt really weak for a moment then I applied ice immediately for quite a while. Anyways, right now it's not swollen, and i can't see any bruise on the outside but when I close my hand it feels very stiff and the joints are very sore throughout my whole hand.

I have a hockey game tomorrow and was wondering what I need to do should I move it a lot or use ice/heat or what?

I will take any advice please help :)

My grandmother, who I was very close to, died of cancer when I was 12. After she died I never cried but went on with my life as if she never existed. I have, however, suffered bouts of depression, anxiety and panic since then. Recently I found a picture of her and started remembering times we spent together when she was alive - which is nice - except that soon afterwards I became incredibly depressed, anxious and panicky, worse than I've ever felt in my life. I feel so sad and afraid I can't even leave my house. My fears seem so ridiculous. I'm afraid I'm going to get sick and die or suffer or be in pain. Does there seem to be a connection here? Could it be that I'm finally grieving her after 30 years (I'm 41 now.) I'm so confused I don't know what to do.

--I dont believe if the reason is money. I mean it is too risky (considering the STD they will get from many male pornstar) if they compare it with money that is not quite enough for the risk insurance. Are they really enjoy to do it with any partners? The things are always crossing in my minds. I admit that i am too much of watching porn, because my job is IT operaot and I have plenty time in front of my computer. 18 hours a day. can you help me, please?

..but what can you do when you have a parent who drinks heavily every night and then takes on responsibilities that they should be sober for? My mother has a problem and I hate saying she's an alcoholic ( I hate that word ), but she has even admitted to it while she was intoxicated. She won't admit it while she's sober. My father died two years ago and ever since she's being heading down a bad road. My sisters and I have tried intervention, but it doesn't work with her. She doesn't think she has a problem. She is effecting our lives with it and at times will get into arguments where she will have had seven or eight glasses of wine and all logic escapes her completely. She becomes defensive and once that happens, all rationale goes out the window entirely.

Whenever I go to read my Email etc on a Tiscali site every image of any woman shown on there, or on any mail I receive, always shows a woman with a huge mouth always open. Why?
I could understand it if they advertised tooth paste or other dental products.

Can I still develop the chicken pox after hanging around someone 7 days ago (last saturday) that developed chicken pox a few days ago?


P.S. I have had the chicken pox once in my life (3 years ago) but it was not bad it was a small dose.

I know you can get them more than once.
