Hi can you tell me what you think of breast implants, men or women, do you have them? are they worth getting? do you regret having them or wish you had got them sooner? do they feel natural and move naturally?? any views welcome:)

Ive got terrible tonsilitis and the doctor gave me anti-biotics but it actually has got worse- they have swelled up even more and I can hardly breathe.
Is it possible to somehow drain my tonsils so they arent as swollen?
Also can I demand a tonsillectomy.as I get tonsilitis at least twice a year and it knocks me for six. At the moment Ive been ill for 2 weeks and still no sign of it getting better.

Usually I start my period the thursday or friday before I start the placebo pills- about day 19 or 20 according to the pill pack and it is usually quite heavy with lots of cramping. I'm on ortho tri-cyclen lo. I've been on the pill since may. I called my doctor the other day, and they said they may need to put me on a higher dosage of hormones. The other night I forgot my pill, and remembered the next afternoon. But now am late, 3 to 6 days depending how one looks at it. Could I be pregnant? Could I take a pregnancy test to find out? Or would it be too soon?

I am 119 pounds, and 13 years old. I know this is a healthy weight, but I would feel so much more confident if I was thinner. I want to get to 105 pounds but healthily. How can I do this? Thanks x

They say it lowers the risk, but how does breast feeding your baby lower the risk of developing breast cancer?

I have a laparoscopy just over a week ago - the good news is that it was all clear, so the surgery was pretty simple.

I was just wondering how normal it was still to be in a lot of pain 9 days later - it's just one area about the size of a 2p next to my belly button (not at the incision site) and it has kept me awake, can't concentrate easily the pain and can't have my trousers (or anything else) touching it.

I went to the docs yesterday and he said it was probably just muscle bruising and should be better 10-12 days after sugery as it can get worse before better but if I start to feel unwell go back (had a slight temperature).

Am I just over worrying and most women go through this or is it something I should keep any eye on? Gentle touch feels like someone is cutting me open and the pain is constant even with pain killers. Its a very sharp pain - I have what I would describe as brusing pain lower down which I'm not worried about at all.

Any info/experiences appreciated.

Started when I was 9
J moved to the neighborhood and shes the type of person who is insanely skinny all the time.My other BF was more on the heavy side.Kids made fun of her because of her weight & I didn't want to have the same thing happen to me & I wanted to be thin like J. I began to suck in my stomach
7 years later I still do it. I always get SO frustrated shopping because I have to see if Id be able to suck in my stomach all day to wear a tight shirt
Im so uncomfortable just sittin around with friends.I try to eat right & since it's cold out now there's less outside things to do without freezing my a** off
So I try to keep up with a schedule every day to do a lot of sit ups, pushups, stretch, run in place.I do admit to eating until I'm bloated.I have this thing where I eat more for the taste even if I'm full. I'm 16, 5'2-5'3 & unsure about weight,no scale.I guess Im 130-135 by now. Its this blasted tummy I want gone
What am I going through? Suggestions? I'm not satisfied with me.

I have been trying to see my GP but can never get an appointment or even pre-book one. I have been on cipralex and istin and developed severe joint pain. (Almost unable to walk) I suspected one on my drugs and have been fazing them out. The joint pains are 99% gone but I feel sick and giddy all the time. Which tablet do I need to continue that will not cause the crippling joint pains?? Thank you for your help.

Ive had severe back and neck problems, including 2 spinal fusions...a recent MRI and CT Scan have shown only 2 healthy disks in my entire back and neck...including 2 herniated disks and a bone sticking out in my neck hitting a nerve. I have been on medications for 8 years, 5 since my first surgery...have had the epidurals, injections and all that..including a pain pacemaker which didnt work either. It has sent me into a deep depression on and off over the years, and I am still in so much pain....How does one keep oneself in a proper mind frame, and get over, and move on when you are in severe pain and dont know if it will ever go away??

I had chronic pain for over 4 years. After about 10 doctors and three surgeries, I found a massage therapy specialist who has worked 'miracles' on my particular problem, i.e., repetitive strain injury that resulted in some of my nerves pressing against my bone in my hand, arm and shoulder. Now, I'm ecstatic to be without pain, but keep worrying I could have an accident and come back. What can I say to myself so as not to obsess about this?

Hi - I am pretty fit for my age but find that my body is aching after eating certain acidic foods and also after exercising e.g. gardening. Can anyone tell me how to strengthen my muscles (I believe this takes the strain off joints)? Throughout my life I have been very strong compared with other girls and been able to e.g. open jars, lift heavy objects etc. I am trying to avoid such foods/drinks as tomatoes, oranges, wine, sugar, acidic foods, salicylates etc. I also make up alkalising water to drink throughout the day. I am quite active but am VERY disappointed to find my body just deteriorating!! I tried exercising on the floor a couple of days ago but ended up feeling sore and stiff 2 days later. HELP if you can, please. I am willing to put quite a bit of work into this but also want to be careful. I am a trained nurse and in the past have enjoyed such sports as squash, aerobics, jazz ballet but mainly only walking recently. Thanks.

I just took a test for my major yesterday and I am confident that I failed it. This class is taught once a quarter and is required for the major. On top of that, it may bring my GPA down to a level where I lose my scholarships.

I've looked at the positive and negative outcomes and I believe that suicide may be a viable solution to my coming problems. Any advice?
