Heres my problem. I drink maybe once a week. When I do its not a glass of wine, its a whole 3 litter bottle. I get sloppy stupid drunk. During the rest of the week though i think about drinking and how I like how it makes me feel. The next day after drinking, I teel my husband im going to stop, and to not give into me when I want him to go out and buy it. But after hours of arguing, he gives up and goes out and buys it for me. My drinking is causing arguments in our home and I have put on a lot of weight because of it. Am I an alcholic? I dont want to sign up for AA and people look at me funny because I only drink once a week and not every day.I cant stop on my own though, I have tried. I have even bought liquor and hid it from my husband so I can avoid an argument. Please give me some helpful advice.

I recently started taking the pill, I have been changed just last month to the pill called dianette. I was just wondering what its like and how dangerous it is compared to the others because my mum has heard it is the most dangerous causing clots than the other pills and that people who are on it should change to a different one! Can anyone throw some light on this situation for me!
Thank you's all very much!

My Mom is undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and she says she got something that felt like acid reflux but much worse. Now she says she can barely swallow, her throat hurts and her mouth is full of sores. Is there something she could get at like Walgreen's that will help and what is it that she has? Thanks for your help. :0(

She just received very heavy dose of chemo and she can't hold almost any food down.She tried mostly soups and juices, but not much luck.Most of it she just threw up.Does anyone know of what possibly would be the gentlest on the stomach in her case? She went through several hours of chemo in last few days.Thank you for any suggestions.

What happens before you can get the birth control shot?
My sister is going to ship off to basic training in January...
She wants to get the shot.

Theres a doctor that says he has to run a few tests before he gives it to her.

Is the doctor just trying to make money off her?
What tests do you need to run?

The nurses already gave her a physical exam...
and the doctor says HE has to now?
The nurses didnt find anything out of the ordinary and basically said she looks good.
Im wondering if this doctor is just trying to be a perve?

Can someone tell me whta they had to do before they got the birth control shot?

Firstly,
acne is NOT caused by foods ...but what people mix this up with is the fact that just because it dosnt CAUSE acne it had no effect on it...FALSE! People who eat greesy foods, processed foods and fried foods (yes ANYTHING fried you must stay away from, that includes currys, pasta sauces,pankakes,stir fry) that is why its wise to make it yourself and leave the oil out, just add water. Anything processed. also...DO NOT EAT CHOCOLATE!
secondly,
acne is NOT caused by stress. But it plays a MAJOR role in acne, and you must understand that even if you have alot of acne, if you were stressed it would double.
thirdly,
products like clean and clear and clearasil are not good for your skin. Now you might say its worked well ok well that depends how severe your acne is because if youve got a few pimples here and there it does work, but for people with acne...a big no.because these products block your pores. go for 100% natural products,

i hope this helped

Ok, well two questions really. Firstly, I am 18, and have been going out with my boyfriend for a year. My Mum has just found out that for the past couple of months we have been sleeping together. I didnt tell her straight away, which looking back, I realise I should have been honest, but she doesnt approve of anything like this. Now she is very disappointed in me, and makes me feel cheap. How can I show her that I didnt take my decision lightly, and that I do love my boyfriend? I dont regret my decision, but wish I could help her understand me.

Secondly, Im now obviously going to have to go on the pill. We have been very careful, but I dont want to risk pregnancy. But im a little worried, that like my Mum, the doctor might also judge me? Has anyone my age experienced this?

Any help, advice etc would be great. Thanks.

I am a 19 yr old female who just started experiencing this annoying pain in the last 2 months. I have had lower back pain for about the last yr and was diagnosed with a short leg. I now have a lift in my shoe to even that out. However, in the last 2 months or so if I sit for awhile as soon as I stand up I get this pressure in my lower back area. It is to the right side in the sacroiliac region. Just by standing straight and pushing my hips forward or by keeping my feet planted but pushing my legs out away from eachother it will crack and the pressure will be relieved. I can also do this while sitting by crossing my feet and pushing on them together. This produces either one or many cracks in that region. Its not painful. Sometimes my lower back will get sore and there are some days where it is very painful to sit in certain positions or laying down for awhile on my stomach then roll over. Wondering if anyone else has had this cracking in their backs or know what it might be.

I am suffering from OCD and specifically a fear of HIV. Everyday little instances lead me to believe that I have acquired the virus, even though these instances never involve typical risk behaviors. My question is, if my fears are true and I have somehow acquired this virus, how many times should I wash my hands to prevent others from getting it when I come into contact with my own potentially infectious body fluids?

Any suggestions re how I can cope or get rid of the pain in my legs caused by sciatica, which is apparantly caused, according to my Doctor, by the bottom two disks in my back not having anything inbetween them anymore. Any info you could give me COULD give me a good nights sleep for the first time in a week. This comes and goes and I have not had this pain for at least two months, then suddenly there it is, again.
