When i first started working on arms i did lots of chin ups, then i hit 20+ and went to Concentration curls and ez bar(80), i was able to max curl 62.5lbs(one 2.5 weight added only to one side :/).

Now i've restarted (after a pulled tricep right arm 5 months passed)and was just curling 45s standing, and doing some ez curl bars, and i noticed that my concentration curls were quite low. When i focus mostly on Concentration curls though, i cant do too many standing curls. I think that concentration curls make me able to lift higher weight(55lbs full range, 60lbs 60% range) but i feel like standing curls make my biceps burn more even though im doing 4 sets of 8 reps. Am i doing my seated curls wrong, or is it just power vs endurance(standing) im really at a loss. Sorry for explaining this so poorly, heh. I want to gain power and keep some endurance in my biceps. Thanks.

I took provera( not depo-provera the birth control) 10mg for 7 days, to induce my menstrual cycle and today it's my 8th day after I took my last pill and still have not had my period. I called the doctor and he ordered a FSH and Prolactin test. I went to the lab today to get my blood work done. Has anyone gone through this before.

Are brain tumors contagious? For example, if a person has it, and coughs and sneezes without covering their mouths, would it be contagious for other people??

I have read that brain tumors are not contagious, but I do question how much research has gone into that to really define whether or not it is.. Since, the cause of it is still unknown.

Does PMS usually come before, during or after a withdrawal bleed if you are on birth control? My symptoms are starting, and I just finished my "period." I also stopped my BC 5 days before my "period" was due, and had unprotected sex a couple of times 2-3 days before stopping the pill. Could I be pregnant even if I had a withdrawal bleed? I stopped the BC due to its side effects, and didn't have any unprotected sex after that (just wanted to put that out there).

I have a disease that affects my spine, I also have Fibromyalgia. My doctor has me on Lortab 7.5 for pain. Well, it's just not helping anymore. He said for me to come by tomorrow and get a Rx for duragesic patches. What exactly are these? Do they work quickly? Will they make me feel high or drunk? (I have to function at work) Also, if it is not helping for pain, do you take any other meds with it? Thanks.

i have pain in both of my ankles and knees after basketball practice. i have went to the doctors and they said it was all normal and acted as if i had faked it. i run alot and when i get home i can barly walk. it is not my ankle it is sort of the soft skin above my heel and just below the bone that sticks out. it is in the back of my leg. i have broken my leg before when i was 2 and now i am 13 but i have the pain in both of my ankles. i have had the pain for 3 years and it is very tough to live with. my knees also hurt. one day i was playing outside in the snow and me and my friends heard a loud pop. they were all wondering what would have made such a bazar noise and when i tried to get up to look around my knee hurt so bad that it was like locked straight. i have gotten x-rays on both of my ankles and knees but they didn't seem to find anything? is it possible i could have a minor stress fracture in both of my ankles? what do you think it could be? and what about the pain in my knees

I have OCD. I haven't been diagnosed but im sure of it. i always have these thoughts that i can't control/stop thinking about. I also touch something or do something about 7 times after i think about it. Whenever something is in my hands and i want to put it down i have to put it down 7 times. I know its weird and I'm so ashamed. In fact im so ashamed that i haven't told anybody. I really want to tell my boyfriend since we've been going out for over a year. But I'm affraid. I have no clue how he is gonna react and I'm scared that he'll either A: get really mad i've been keeping it from him or B: think I have problems and leave me =( I dont know why i think this though because he is so nice and we love each other so much and he supports me in anything i want to do. No one at all knows so I decided that if i tell than it's going to be him first... But i'm scared cuz i've never actually admitted it out loud before. I always think about it though... How do I tell him?

It started one week ago. I just feel the urge to blink very hard and I will do this about five or six times in a row. I have started to look at the clock and say ok I'm not going to do this for 15 min. It never works. I know I sound nuts. I am so aware of every time I blink now. If anybody has had this problem or knows anything about this please help. Thank you. Could it have anything to do with my sinuses?

Every since I got on the depo shot my periods have been out of control. I've been on depo for nine months now. And its been 2 1/2 months since I've got my last period. And also I've been eating like I'm a pregnant person, almost everything I see. I'd say before I got on depo nine months ago I weighed 100 pounds and now I weigh 112 pounds. They say the shot blows you up, gets you big, and makes you feel pregnant. And every since I've got on depo, I have discharge every day, it's been more discharge since Ive got on the shot. Sometimes it's clear sometimes it's yellowish and sometimes brownish. Is this normal to not have a crazy period when on the depo shot? And is it true that I could get fat by being on the depo shot? Tell me everything you know about depo, or an experience with depo of your own.

I have a friend who has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Her insurance only pays for so much. She has three children and is working as much as she can to make ends meet. Do you know of resources to help? We are looking at a benefit but I was wondering if there are others out there who know of some resources during a time like this? Your help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.
