Hi Guys
Hi Guys
I am new in USA. my wife has Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and is taking medication prescribed when we were in our home country.
1. my first question is How much is the cost of RA treatment in USA? i mean an estimated monthly cost..

2. and what specific coverages i will have to look for in her case if i go for buying an insurance (considering that RA is a chronic disease and requires taking medicines continuously for several years)
kindly help us out !

So I'm wondering about my period. I got my period in 7th grade, November. So early 7th grade. It was the usual bumpy period type deal til the summer or 7th grade, when I started losing a bunch of weight 130 down to 110 all throughout the summer. My period stopped completely. Then I talked to my doctor about it, and she gave me a medicine, multprogesterone or something, and I got a small, light, short period. I gained about 10 lbs in Feb, I ate a lot of dessert on a week long trip. And now, all of a sudden, I gained 10 lbs. I don't know how, I mean, I haven't been exercising too much, but I haven't eaten a ton more than I usually do.

So I'm wondering, since I gained so much weight, and now I'm breaking out ( I got a lot of zits when I was in 8th gr, but went to the derm, now I get zero, and I just got a few [I never do!] ) I'm wondering if maybe i'll get my period. and is this the weight I have to be to get my period??

Hello,
I am 16 years old male. From the age of 8, I was bullied throughout school as everyone at school called me a 'girl', and 'gay' for the things i used to do. However I have changed completely from that time, where I did 'girly' things. Because of the way i was in the past and the way i thought, i feel very confused. I am not gay, but from a very young age people put me down and now i feel very insecure, paranoid and self conscious about my appearance, because i feel that even if i meet new people they will think of me as the person i was in the past, which is something i DO NOT want. Can someone please help me.. I am very depressed all the time and do not have friends, who i can speak to.Do you think this change and state of confusion and mental problems like low self esteem etc is due to adolescence? Growing up?.. Can someone please explain.. I always worry that people will still think of me as a girl, when i am not. Please help me... What is happening? .. Anyone been through it?

BMI is 17.8 granted Im not in the anorexia spot on my BMI because I just went on vacation & gained 5 lbs. Ive lost 20 some lbs in a little over a year. Professionals say I need 2 b inpatient but I cant because my parents think Im healthy. I know I need help but I cant convince my parents of this & Im scared of their reaction if I do get it. I feel like such a pig when they oink @ me for having 1k calories 4 the day. Ive been hospitalized 4 my eating disorder 1 time but they made it not worth it because they told me I only want attention & that I wasnt skinny. I depend on them 4 my transportation because I dont drive myself. If I told them 2 take me to the hospital that does have the eating disorder institute they wouldnt. I dont have an er in this town either so that answer wont help. Please how do I make my parents understand how serious this is and how much I do need help because I know that Im just going to lose more weight even when I know Im in trouble.

ok, I'll put it out there. I am overweight. I'm 5'4 and weight 225 lbs. So ok I'm fat. yeah I know . It's hard to lose weight when you got two little kids and no time. ( i know excuses, excuses ) but here's what annoys me. According to my BMI Im considered obese. Ok, how in the heck am I obese. ?? I sure as heck don't look it and I sure don't feel it. I think they really need to revise how the BMI chart works because when I was a healthy weight of 180 , I say healthy because I was. I wore a size 16 and just because of my height I was still borderline obese. Which was crap . Anyone else sick of that thing?

I know it's gross but it hurts soooo bad! I keep pricking it with a pin but just a bit of blood comes out. I know there is pus in there because it is vey swollen and large. Should I squeeze it? Should I apply heat to it? Should I try "nicking" it myself with a razor blade or is that too dangerous? I am a bit worried because it is close to my eye and is making my eye swollen (it's like unde the brow). I feel like just cutting it off to relieve the pressure, it hurts too much. Please help with any suggestions. I saw a Dr. 3 days ago and he gave me antibiotics but it's worse now and I can't see him till Monday. It would just feel 10X better if the pressure was relieved, you know?

Y'elo,
I'm 16 year old male,and need some help please. The problem is I'm really insecure and self conscious. I always think that people are perceiving me as a weak person who acts like a girl. People reassure me that i don't but i sometimes feel like that. I have very few friends to talk to, therefore i would like anyone who has been or is in my position to help, and tell me about their experiences. I am very depressed and low because of this. I know i might sound stupid but thats the biggest problem i am having. Hence, i feel no one wants to be my friend. Can someone help me and tell me what i am supposed to do. Have you ever been insecure. Please, any males who can answer. Is it due to adolescence, self identity or something? Please help...Why do I think like this?Will it ever end?I feel very depressed to talk to other people just in case they think i act like a girl or something, as in the past I was like that, but i have change. Please tell me what is wrong and what I can do.

All they want is the $20 co-pay. I take them a sick child, and they say "take her home, give her rest, wait 3 days and come back, that will be $20 today." USELESS I TELL YOU. Oh, and when i get tests done, they want me to come back into the office, sit in the waiting room with sick people, sit in the office for 20 minutes, then the doctor comes in and looks at his clipboard and says "Well, the results were negative, have a great day, and don't forget to stop on the way out and pay you $20 copay." Why can't the call, emal, fax, send me a freakin letter and tell me the results???????

Yahoo just put out an article that says "obesity now affects about one-third of Americans." My question: where are all of these obese people?

I don't doubt that the general population is heavier than it was in the past, but obesity is a BMI of 30 or greater, which is pretty fat. Maybe I live in a low-obesity area, but not even 1 out of every 10 people i see could be possibly considered "obese". I have a couple of small questions to ask:

Anyone have any sites that show where the surveys that support the "1 out of 3" ratio take place?

Since i live in a community that is under the 1 out of 3 ratio, there must be some community that is above the ratio to even it out...anyone live in an area where just about half the people are obese?

Or...who else believes the "obesity epidemic" is 20 pounds of bull **** in a 10 pound bag?

so about a month ago, i went and got the depo-provera shot. The doctor gave me the shot in my hip. She also said that while im on the shot, I would not get my period. However, she said that I might notice some spotting. I noticed that two days ago, I thought I had some spotting, but now, its like I'm on my period. This spotting came two weeks after my normal period was due. I am worried that maybe the shot isnt working, since I'm not supposed to get my period? Or does spotting include alot of irregular bleeding, not just a little?

Has this happened to anyone else?

My mom is a medical technician at a hospital(duh), and has drawn blood for about twenty years now. My mom is also worried that I have diabetes type 2, and wants me to get a blood test. I keep telling her that I want her to give me a blood test, but she says she doesn't want to cause me pain. But, even if it hurt, I would rather have my mom(twenty years of experience)stick a needle in me than have some lady I didn't know that may have no experience stick a needle in me.
Plus, my mom wants me to get flu shots, and then in a few months tetanus and hepatitis so I can try out for the track team. Like in the title, I am soooo afraid of needles! What should I do about the diabetes test, and the shots?

Second opinions are almost always good, but aren't they often determined by the laziness of some doctors who do not go too far doing their job?
