okay well it started a month ago. I grew a zit on my nose and I've tryed oxy, ckean and clear, clinique, and top care. The zit is still there. People at school say to pop it, but I can't because it's been there for about a month. It's red and notciable. do you know a zit cream or treatment i could use to get rid of it fast?

My father went into a coma yesterday because he drank himself to the point where his liver shut down. He lives in another state but when the police found him they described to me that he was very yellow. He had to know that he was sick.

I know it is a disease, but if you know your are sick most people go to the doctor. I just wondered why. Why did he do that and why do people who are alcoholics can't stop drinking. I know some make the choice to stop but others "can't".

I was told that when the ALA's in flax oil convert, you lose about 80% of the benefits; thus, missing out on the possible absorbtion of DHA & EPA. I was also told that it is beneficial to take flax because of something in it that you can't get from fish oil. Any help in this area is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, Sometimes when I'm around my girlfriend, I can be all depressed, I'll start thinking all of these negative thoughts like "She's going to cheat on me" or "She doesnt love me anymore, and she doesnt love me as much as she used to"
Why do I have to think negativley? Sometimes I have really happy thoughts, and other times I have the thoughts I just mentioned. I get really sad sometimes and worried, and I don't know what it is. I can be sad for a couple hours, then be happy the next time I'm with her...
I feel like something is wrong in my brain, I don't know what it is.
I KNOW she won't cheat on me, but yet I still think those dumb thoughts. I'm getting tired of the dumb way I think...could someone give me their opinion and advice please?
By the way, I've talked to her about the way I feel, I'm very open with her, I don't keep it built up inside of me.
Okay, please give me your opinions and advice.

Thanks in advance.

For my biology project on Dwarfism we need to define the genetic cause (i.e. dominant, recessive, sex-linked, codominance, or not known). Does anyone know what it is?? We also have to have a punnet square of a cross between someone with the disorder and a heterozygous individual, if anyone knows how to do that.. feel free to add.

I have a anatomical lump in my skull bone behind my left hear and it has been there since my scull formed. When I put glasses on, the ear piece fits directly over this bump and it leaves so much pressure, I have to take the glasses off. It about drives me crazy.
What do you think I should do? I need glasses to be able to see since I am now in my 40's. I push the glasses up about 1/2 inch to get over the bump and I think it makes me look like I am trying to be silly. Have you ever heard of anyone doing this before?

So here's my story...

about 16 months ago I lost my virginity. I actually had a homosexual experience to start things off. I really freaked out about everything after developing tonsillitis about 2 days after this. There were no fluids involved anywhere with the "experience". I had constant bouts with tonsillitis on and off for almost a year until I finally had my tonsils removed due to the development of sleep apnea and tonsil stones in July of this year. Since my first bout with tonsillitis, I've had a lymph node that has been noticeable in my neck. This has lasted from the first bout with tonsil issues, through my tonsil removal, etc. It's not big (maybe 1/2 - 1 CM in diameter).

About 2 months ago I took a trip to Scandinavia. When I returned I was fairly ill. I was sore, had an itchy throat, watery eyes, overall unwellness. Oh, and I have a small amount of tonsil tissue that was left over from my tonsillectomy which has gotten enflamed again, and has not gone down since.

I'm very worried about this surgery but told that without it, the warts could become cancerous. I am also feeling the shame and embarassment that I'm sure most go through although I am told around 60% of men have this virus but do not know it. My genital warts have been treated with freezing off and Aldara cream unsuccessfully for 3 yrs.. I had no idea of the Anal warts. Thought I had hemmorroids! I'm scared, feel alone, ashamed, and wondering if I am making the right decision with general anesthesia surgery scheduled for Tues. the 13th Nov. I also live alone and am fearful of bleeding or the severe pain I might be in... Can anyone with experience with this help me with either feeling better about the surgery or let me know that there is life after this...I'm told the virus will remain in my body for life..This devastates me! I am not promiscuous.. I know exactly who I got them from and have extreme anger towards this person..Help!

I don't have a gun. I could probably get my hands on some whiskey, sleeping pills, and razor blades though. Also there is a river nearby and it's cold outside. I heard that hardly anyone ever actually dies from slitting their wrists because it takes too long and they freak out. Is this true? I don't want to end up in a psych ward. I want to do a good job with this. Any suggestions?

I'm in the process of getting some plastic surgery. A breast reductiion and a tummy tuck to be exact. My breast reduction is covered by insurance but of course, the tuck is cosmetic and I will have to pay for it. I will need to put it on a credit card. can anyone suggest any with no interest for a year or something with perks. The procedure will cost about $7500 and I was looking into pay for it other than outright (cash or check). Any ideas? Serious answers only. Adults with experience with this are welcome to answer. Thanks in advance.

My Uncle passed away from a long battle of cancer and in a way i am relieved because he is not longer suffering and sad at the same time for the loss in my family. This is my moms brother and he is the 2nd one in our family to die of cancer in 8 months, the other one was another uncle who had suffered for 2 yrs with lung cancer also my moms brother. I didn't attend the other funeral either due to lack of funds to travel. This time my 2 yr old twins are ill(bronchitis) so i feel as if i cannot take the chance on traveling with them by myself. Am i wrong for not going, for feeling like i do i would rather remember him the healthy happy man i knew than the one who dwindled to 150lbs and was so sick he couldn't even talk.

I just had a baby a month ago and ive been having really bad anxiety attacks. I have also a 2yr old and a 6yr old. I have talked to my doctor about the problem and he put me on paxil I dont want to be on a long term antidepresant because im not depressed I just have times where I shake bad and my heart beats really fast and skips a beat. I get get all worked up and need to calm down but i cant. My doctor says its postpartum depression but I dont think it is. I am soo busy i just get freaked and cant control this, It was halloween and i was cleaning house then I had to get the kids ready and I just got really shaky and couldnt stop. And my husband said whats wrong with you. So I told my doctors about the times its happened to me and I also told him I dont want a long term antidepresant I just want something so when I feel an attack coming on I can calm down and also havent been able to sleep. Ive tried tylenol pm and ambian and told the doctor they dont work and he wont help me at all.

I always misjudge them. I think I'm very good at reading people, and I usually am, the only time it fails is when I'm looking for a date/boyfriend. I try soooo hard to find the smart nice guys, but it never works out that way... I think of myself as at least above average intelligence, and whenever I think I've found someone who I think I could actually carry on a decent conversation with, I turn out to be wrong.

Of the last 3 boyfriends I had:
1. stupid as ****
2. stupid as **** and cheated on me
3. stupid as ****, hit me AND cheated on me.

Why am I so bad at picking guys??? Do you guys have any advice?
