I'm 16 and I have a stuttering problem which affects me so much.
I sometimes hold back on talking with friends because I can always feel when a stutter comes on.
Im just starting to work at Subway (which i thought would help me be more confident in talking) and now im nervous because more people will be there to notice it.

Any pointers on how to overcome this?

Hello.
As you could probably guess im a little nervous asking this question so publicly.
But I really want an answer.

I have had these little, pimple like dots on my penis for a long time now.
They are only noticable when I have an erection.
I did some reading and they are called pearly penile papules.

Im not sure if there is treatment for them, or not.
But I was wondering if these are normal, should I get checked out?

And im really nervous to actually have a girl do anything down south, because of them.

Thanks you in advance.

What causes weak stream if you are not old? I've noticed that it has gotten a little weaker which just means it takes a little longer at the urinal. There's no pain and it doesn't affect anything else. Is it a nutritional imbalance or something?

i have been working and going to school i have a great job and my classes have been going fine. but recently i just haven't seem to have been caring much. bad things seem to happen to me all the time and they slowly get worse untill something really big and good happens to me then it starts all over. i love my job but i just don't care about it any more i don't see much point in doing it any more and classes seem like they are just as useless. i feel like im going to be doing the same thing in my life. its hard to wake up in the morning when i feel like its just going to be worse than the day before. this has been going on for about 2 years and it feels like its just getting worse.

I moved a little the other night, nothing strenuous. I heard a loud pop and there was instant excruciating pain in my left side, sort of towards the back. I made my way upstairs in severe stabbing pain and woke up my mom. We went to the E.R. and they checked for kidney stones... nothing. They keep thinking it's muscle but I've never felt muscle pain like this. Sometimes when I move I can still hear a quieter, grinding or popping sound. Can anyone help?? They prescribed me vicodin and a muscle relaxer but they only take the edge off.

Also, I've had a chronic cough for the last few months and there's nothing on the chest xrays. I feel like my body is falling apart and I'm only 20 years old!! Please help, I've seen 3 doctors and all of them just don't know what to do with me.

I am in my twenties and have recently started taking methotrexate to treat my arthritis and I have to take 8 pills a week. I have a really hard time swallowing pills, it usally takes me an hour and a half and makes me feel sick. I have tried every thing to swallow them easier, but nothing works. Is it better to take methotrexate injections. Do they hurt. I don't know what to do.

So I've seen bits and pieces of the staph infection on the news and there was an announcement about it at our high school. So i was hoping some one could help explaining some things to me. I was wondering if this was or is going to become an epidemic? From what I've heard there are no reported cases of the deadly strain in our area. I live in Wisconsin and I was wondering if I am at high risk catching the infection? and lastly I was wondering should I be worried about this or will I be safe with just using common sense and proper hygiene?
