Cold shower, I hate it, and it only lasts for about 5 min after I am done. I don't masturbate, and exercise doesnt help either. Know anything else that might help?
I assume you all know what I am talking about from saying cold shower.

I have been on the pill before and it doesn pretty much the same thing, I keep getting upset at the stupidest things I wouldn't normally care about, it is also affecting my relationship with my boyfriend, luckily he is really understanding. Some days I feel completely normal though. I need to use some sort of contraception other than condoms because we had one break so I took the morning after pill but had to take a day off work coz it made me sick... i'm just not sure how to deal with all the hormones!!! Has this happened to anyone else?

I've been eating/drinking a lot of the new "Soup at Hand" Campbell's soup containers lately, mostly consisting of Creamy Chicken, Cheese and Broccolli, Tomato, etc. Looking at the nutritional labels, they have low sugars, low cholesterol, and a moderate supply of protein and mono/poly fats. Plus each can contains 13 grams of carbohydrates. Would it be reasonable to say that going on a Campbell's soup diet to accompany my cardio plan would be beneficial???

My 6 year old broke his wrist right at his ulna on Friday doing something stupid. I was surprised they put a soft temporary cast on him at the ER. They said that we had to wait 2-3 days before having a cast on. I have to call the Orthopedic surgeon in the morning. What will they do with him? I am 34 and my husband is 34 we both have never had a broken bone. How do I give my son a bath so he does not get it wet? We have been wiping him down before bed, but he needs to get a real bath. Any help would be appreciated. Also he broke his dominant wrist for writing.

I have a very busy schedule, i often have to sleep really late and wake up really early to get to school.

I have physical ed classes once a week but i don't think it's enough because i don't even sweat or exert energy in it.

I'm sick of sit ups 'cause 'one, I'm lazy and two, I've tried it and it doesn't work.

My problem area is my lower abs, it has a bump and i want to get rid of it fast probably by December.

I eat a LOT! It's not usually a problem because I don't seem to get fat but I think I'm beginning to gain weight now. My stomach gets really big after I eat. I usually eat a lot of carbohydrates like rice and not much protein.

any suggestions???? Really need help, I've been trying to get flat abs since i was in 6th grade.

It sucks and i have it bad. I struggle with it and it's not fair.
I feel so sorry for people who are born with a disease that cannot be cured, cause there's no life in them.

I'm distressing over this b/c I don't know if my legs became shorter or they just look shorter b/c of the extra weight gain? My legs used to look long and lean but now look short & dumpy. Anyone else experience this?

So I was in a bad car accident a couple of weeks ago and the doctors have me on Valium. I haven't had to take it recently but I really want to now cause I am in tons of pain, can't sleep and having awful muscle spasms. The problem is about 7 hours ago I had 2 glasses of wine, and another glass about 1 hour ago. I don't feel any effects from the wine at all but I have heard you can't take Valium with alcohol. Any chance I would be able to take 1, 5 mg Valium? Or is it too risky???

Thanks~

Does anyone have any connection to the eye disease keratoconus in any way shape or form. You had/ have it, you know someone who had/has it. I don't care but I hate feeling like I'm becomeing more blind everyday and not having anyone to compare or talk to about it. Please don't tell me to talk to my doctor because I've done that and it went no were and I don't want to switch cuz he's really good at what he does, and my mom has been bugged, annoyed and pestered and still wont help me. I'm 19, and feeling like I'm going blind. If you know someone, could you please email me or leave an e-mail address I can email, if so there aren't words that can describe how thankful I'd be.

cholesterol into the walls of your arteries.
Thus your cholesterol screening comes back lower but now you are at risk of hardening of the arteries?
