I love having a baked potato for dinner sometimes, but I always hear mixed reviews on them because of their high starch and carb values. If I'mnot watching carb intake, are they okay to eat?? Plain, no butter or s.cream.

Once you have cancer and you get the 'all clear'

and it comes back again, will it ever go away
or will you die very soon.

I don't know how many people read this news:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071107/ts_alt_afp/ushealthcontraceptive_071107142843

but it rly hit home for me. I had kidney surgery on October 31st (07) and my doctor said he was really worried about my stomach and surrounding areas due to: "build up of fatty tissues". He questioned if I ever had appendix issues when I was a child or any other surgeries in my stomach. I stated no, and I knew that was a fact.
I then read that article a few days later and was curious if that could be the problem. I have been on birth control since I was 14 years old (I will be 22 in December). The reason I am mainly on it is b.c.:
~Control of acne
~Helps with my very severe cramps
~Regulates my period, instead of having it 20 out of 30 days a month!

I am seriously thinking about getting off of it, but I wanted to see if I could find something to replace the issues above. Maybe a different pill? Herbal med? Creams? Anything?

Thank you!
~Sarah

I had sex with my boyfriend two consecutive nights. I have been on the patch for about 5 months now. The first night we had sex, we noticed the patch was coming just a little loose, but since it was the change day we just went ahead and had sex then changed the patch 30 or so minutes later. the next day we had sex as well, and my patch was fine. both times he pulled out, but it feels like my ovaries are hurting like they did when i was ovulating before the patch. does that mean I'm pregnant?

I'm trying to look into the healthcare industry as a possible career. I was just wondering what kind of sites healthcare payors use to see how their day to day is and what kind of information they look at. Thanks.

I'm not talking about my wisdom teeth, but regular teeth. I need to take out 4, so they can put the mental stuff for my braces. Can they take out all 4 the same day, or only 2 at a time?

i think there is something wrong with me....
i was having alot of pain in my uterous area... like normal cramps only not when i have my period. i have them all the time.. sometimes theyre are more savier than my regular cramps.. i have had times where i was bent over crying and coudn't get up untill the pain faded. i went to the doctors.. she said it might be a sist i should just see if it gets bette or worse and than come back...
the pain never stopped.. and i tolded a big lump on the inside of me... i went to a different doctor she said it was probably a sist nd she didnt feel anything... she put me on birth control for two months...
this helped my period become lighter and not as long... which was great but i was still having the pain... i think the lump is getting so big it might be effecting my bowels and i feel almost like its pushing my stomach out... is this all in my head becaues of the pain?? could this be something more serious? a tumar? cancer? i'm scared.

I'm 6'5", weigh 197, and bought one of those scales that reads body fat levels. It put me at 13.2 which seems pretty accurate, and I want to get down to 7 or 8%. Does anyone have any way of estimating about how many pounds of fat I'd need to lose to get to, we'll say 8% body fat?

I'm 23 years old and I've lost 70 pounds. I went from 210 pounds to 140. I did not gain weight on purpose, by eating, or not exercising....it was due to a medication I was taking.
While I feel good physically, I do not feel good mentally. During the process of losing weight...my stretch marks have become worse and my stomach looks disgusting and saggy....so are my breasts. While I do feel pretty good in my clothes, I cannot bear to look at myself nude. I feel like a disgusting person. I was involved with a man who I thought was "wonderful". He seen me nude, he broke up with me 4 days later and said I needed to work on my body more. This has brought me to the point where I do not want to date or have a sex life. For a while I thought of suicide, but I knew that was wrong and I do not want to hurt my family or friends. Should I simply give up the chance of having children, a husband and live a single, celibate life? Many of you will say have surgery, I cannot afford that.

I am wondering how common this is? And how would you know if you have them. Also do they affect getting pregnant. How soon can you get pregnant after a myomectomy. Has anyone had this surgery and can give me some infomation
