I want a beard and I was wondering how long it takes peach fuzz to turn into the prickly terminal hairs. I have soft peach fuzz hairs as long as 3/8 of an inch in my mustache area, and longer than 1/4 of an inch where sideburns grow. All the hairs are dark already and long but how long does it take for them to thicken? Please give estimated times (guys only probably unless you are a girl that happens to know)

Thank You for taking the time to read and respond to my question.

Proper nutrition and other more natural treatments can be used to treat a lot of problems rather than just using drugs so often. There is a lot of research showing that cancer thrives in an acidic body, and cannot survive in a normal, more alkaline state. I've heard of too many doctors that refuse to admit that natural cures really work. I can't understand why they would refuse something that works, something that really helps. Is there a way to improve our health system?

I'm a month and 2 days pregnant and recently about a couple of days ago, I noticed my discharge was yellow. I know I have a UTI that needs to be looked at right away and I was wondering is vaginal discharge a sign of a UTI? Should I be worried at all being pregnant with a UTI?

Like if someone is hyper people are always like "omg do you have ADD?
Maybe someone is just hyper. And just because someone isn't good at school doesn't mean they have adhd...

Do THAT many people really have adhd? is add/adhd mistaken a lot?

Well, to begin with, my parents are getting a divorce and on the first day of High School (A few months ago) I threw up because of a Migraine.

Anyway, I sometimes feel nauseas and was wondering if this could be caused by the events that are happening right now?

Hey there, so I am planning to start a diet soon, on Monday to be exact. So me and my boyfriend are having dinnero n Sunday, and I would like to make something. Since I love to cook. So does this sound healthy: Rice, salmon, and steamed vegetables? The rice is plain white rice, and the salmon is going to be flavored with Lemon and some other seasonings. No salt, maybe a bit of pepper.

Hi,
I am 18 and will be having my first surgery in two weeks and I am very nervous. I will be going to sleep with medicines placed in my IV and I wanted to know if the going sleep part hurt. I saw a surgery on E! and the women was given this white drug in her iv and her eyes rolled back in her head before falling asleep. It looked scary to me. Why did her eyes roll back and did that part hurt?? It did not look very relaxing.
