Hello, are there any visual indications that can point out whether or not you are underweight. I am not talking about drastically underweight which is very obviously I am more talking about being slightly underweight. Please don't refer me to bmi tables as I find them very unhelpful, unreliable as weight oscillates 8lbs in 1 day (i.e. between 18.5 and 19 on the bmi scale), I also look heavier than I am. Just tell me a few signs that may indicate if a person is slightly underweight.

I have this odd tingling sensation on the left side of my head. It started out as a painful feeling near the crown but then it moved down to my temple and no longer hurts but feels like a numbness, itch, or sometimes tingle. I don't think it's a tumor because I don't have headaches, vomiting, or any other problems associated with that. I think it could be damage to my trigeminal nerve after I had two molars extracted, or possibly due to the tension my neck suffers from using the computer. I received my computer during the same time that I had my teeth removed, and this problem arose a few weeks later and has been going on for months. It's not terrible but it's not very comfortable, either. I'd like to get a better understanding of what's going on and what I can do to treat this problem.

Hey is there any site where I can post my symptoms to get a expert opinion on my problem? I came across a few paid ones ( like medhelp.com) , but I want something free. Just want an opinion, not a professional diagnosis..

Thanks

Im not real sure what kind of Lupus she has but she has weird blackouts, bone detection, grandma seizures, headaches, she got like EVERYTHING taken out of her stomach... The list goes on. I was just wondering how others deal with it? My Mom didnt take it so well... :(

My friend hasn't slept for a few days, she's depressed and we're all a bit worried about her.
How long can you go without sleep before it becomes fatal? Does anyone know?

Had constant sicknesses when I was a kid and thru teen yrs and adulthood too. These last years have been really tough. Constant weakness, headaches, major depression, twitching in my legs, numbness, no sex-drive, had bad psoriasis (Immune system) too! I have been to too many doctors and specialists to count!!! No real answers, just a "band-aid" for this and a "band-aid" for that (psoriasis=skin cream, depression=prozac, no sex-drive=Viagra, headaches=Tylenol, weakness=eat something healthy!)! You get the picture!!! Don't know what to do!? Some days better than others though.

Have been seeing an Immunologist though ever since my Psoriasis got really bad this past winter (Feb 2006). Methotrexate has helped greatly! Immune system=all related from what I can gather!

I'm trying this question again because most people misunderstood what I was asking.

I had a vasectomy 4 1/2 weeks ago. The scar - on my scrotum - hasn't fully healed. It's almost like it's scabby. No blood or anything, just like the skin over it hasn't fully healed back to normal.

I had a 1-night stand last night.

I had SAFE SEX WITH A CONDOM.

However, if any of her fluids got on the scar area, am I in any danger?

thanks.

I know this girl who sleeps only 3-4 hours a night. She doesn't take naps or breaks. However, the peculiar thing is that she is not fatigued, tired, sleepy, moody etc AT ALL. In fact, she's one of the most cheerful and active people I know and she shows no signs of losing 4 of the required 8 hours of sleep a day. According to her, she has been sleeping this little for 3 years and suffered very little or no side effects. Is this normal? Will it affect her life/health in the future?
