In talking with a friend last night i realized i need some help. Years ago a parent was killed in an accident, other family has died, marriage is on the rocks, and right now my relationship with my child is not the best. I am so alone. I am not accepting all the blame for my marriage problems even through my husband would like to put them on me but at this point it doesn't matter. I hate the person I have become. I can't even look in the mirror anymore. Everyday is a struggle to get out of bed. My friend thinks i am clinically depressed... has anyone been on antidepressants? What has worked for you?

Just wondering...I think I normally go about 2 hours, and I dont mean just an outer adjustment...I mean actually hand to skin contact with your penis or testicles.

Is it the Dentists Office responsibilty to refile a claim if one has not been paid in 6 months or is it the patient who must call the dentist office after so many months and tell them to re-file it?

Why am I not losing more weight. I eat between 1500 - 1700 cals. a day. I drink tons of water. I've given up sodas. still have a sweet tea every now and then. I walk (high intensity) about 3 or 4 days a week for at least 30 minutes every morning before breakfast; which for the past 3 days has been a whey protein shake, egg whites and oatmeal. I do strength training and also use 5 lbs. dumbbells. (i'm a beginner). On days I don't walk; which is on my treadmill by the way I do hip hop dancing. One more thing, usually after a work out I feel tired and sleepy..What's going on...Thanks

Hi, im 14 years old. I had a lumbar spinal fusion 8 weeks ago and recently I have been dizzy in the morning when I get out of bed. I also have seen black patches if I lay down to long and get up (I get up slowly). I also fell this morning after a got out of bed (this had happened a few times). Thankfully, my bed was right next to me.
I just saw my surgeon yesterday and never mentioned this to him. Should I bother him by calling him?
p.s.
Current medications are Tylenol, ibuprofen, and lyrica.

(I know I asked this last night but my question got sent to the point of no return)

Ok so I completed my three childhood shots in 2001 (six years ago).

This weekend I hit my hand (I didn't slam my hand on it, I put my hand down and it was a pinprick like feeling) on a rusty screw.

I wanted to know if at that point I had a chance of contracting tetanus because I have read everywhere that boosters should be given every five years and was confused if the booster lost its power after five years or if five years was just a target range.

(I got the new Tdap vaccine today just to be on the safe side)

By target range I mean a target range one should get the booster.

Also, they did not give me that shot which you are supposed to get in 48 hours or something. They must have not felt the need to give me it. As stated earlier I did get the booster, but not that shot.

As of right now, It has been almost five days since the initial injury (Side note: my cut is now almost compleatly healed)

How do Doctors decide which antibiotic to put you on? I have a sinus infection and the Dr. put me on Doxycycline, which is in the Tetracycline family. I have not heard of Tetracycline since the 80's. Just wondering if anyone knows the difference between different kinds of antibiotics and how a Dr. decides which one you need. Thanks.

I want to lose 80 lbs within say 6 months. I exercise atleast an hour a day at the gym, but I think my diet either has too many calories or I'm just not eating the right things. What's a good basis to go by when on a diet? I drink a lot of water, but I do want this weight to be gone fast.. what can I eat and what foods are great for certain meals?

Does anyone have a Breakfast - Lunch - Dinner regiment that's pretty simple to follow? I plan on going grocery shopping tomorrow and would like a game plan.. I don't feel my current diet is effective.

My wife is 18 weeks pregnant and just had an u/s where the doctor found a bright spot on the heart and a cyst on the brain.
As you can imagine we are both very worried. Has anyone gone through this that can shed some light. Any good news. Thanks

Last year I found out that my mom smoked cigarettes the last 3 months she was pregnant with me. I was born with chronic asthma. I'm 20 now and it's just as bad as it was when I was little. I asked my mom if she thought her smoking has anything to do with my respiratory problems and she thinks it doesn't. I found this to be incredibly infuriating, as I can't even laugh hard without triggering my asthma. Any thoughts on this?

Yesterday I woke up with minor Jaw pain and had trouble eating & brushing my teeth. Took some asprin and hoped that it would be better tomorrow. Well, woke up this morning again with the same pain but a little worse. I'm having trouble eating due to the pain and it has a minor radiating pain.

Its only on the left side of the jaw and I do have TMJ, but it has never affected me like this before. I checked my teeth, they don't hurt, I checked my gum and its fine. It just seems to be in the left area of the jaw, Upper more then lower.

If anyone has any clue what this is please help. i don't want to make an appointment with a doctor if its nothing.

Thanks in Advance,
Ellie

This may sound trivial but my finger nails are peeling. Badly. Nothing that people have recommended that I have tried is helping. I am using a nail product to glue the peeling down but the old nail is still peeling off and it is continuing to start "new" peels. Some of the nails have peeled half way down and are very sensitive. What is causing this and is there a medical treatment (not an OTC nail product) that can help me get it to stop? In other words I don't want to treat the symptoms, I want to stop it from happening!
