i still have 2 baby teeth at the age of 23. there weren't any adult teeth to back them up so there never fell out. just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what you did when you finally had to have the baby teeth removed.

I live with my dad and I have a question that I cant ask him, so Im hoping someone on here can give me some reassurance..Anyway, I was wondering if using a Tampon for the first time hurts? My friends say they dont but they're not virgins, so I was wondering if that made a difference. I would like to use Tampons because they seem way more comfortable than pads but Im afriad. Im afriad it will get stuck and/or hurt. So if you have any advice let me know
Thank you very much

For the past 2 yrs since having my baby my appetitie has not calmed down. No matter how much I eat I always have a rumbling stomach which can turn quite acidic. This then causes a "hunger pain" running from my neck to my head if I don't eat quick enough. I also get a pain in my right side sometimes sharp under my chest like indigestion. My gp said just my hormones but surely not after 2 & a half years? Not much help really. Has this happened to anyone else. I eat plenty of good food also occassional treats so not a bad diet at all. Also drink lots of water and hardly any caffeine. I now feel so lethargic all the time because of all these symptoms they wear me out. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. Several visits to gp have not helped me.

How long after wearing it can I have unprotected sex? It would help if you showed me where on the website it says that, because I really can't find anywhere it says it.

I don't know if it's just the holidays and looking for a job and worrying about mid terms or not but my bp is normally around 118/82 or right at 120/80. When i took it last night it was 138/100 at first i though maybe it was because she took it twice in the same arm with out waiting, but this morning i took it again myself and it's still at 138/100. I don't know if my bp cuff is messed up or if my bp is really that high. I noticed when i was pumping up the cuff it took for ever for the needle to start moving up and it was already extreemly tight on my arm so maybe it's the bladder in my cuff? any suggestions?

on sunday, when i woke up, my eye was different.
in my left eye, it looked really really pink.
yesterday, my eye was definitely lower than my other one.
i told my mom, but she couldn't see it and thought i was lying.
so, today, when i woke up, there was a lot of coal in my left
eye and it was lower again.
i can feel that it's lower but my mom still thinks i'm acting crazy, when i'm not.
i rubbed it a little bit and now it's burning really bad and it feels like pins are stuck in my eye; like it's dry or something.
it doesn't look as low as when i first woke up, but i can feel a difference.

i'm kinda scared because i don't know what it is.
i always get eyelashes caught in my eye, but this is nothing like that.
also, i've been having an on and off scratchy throat..so idk if that has anything to do with it.

Dog has tag wart growing on outer membrane of eye. Vet said not to worry, but it seems to be getting larger-(looks like a tick),doesn't seem to bother dog yet it would drive me nuts to have something like that growing on my eye. Don't think it interferes with his vision but probably will if it keeps growing.

I run about 35 miles a week. The outside portion of the heal always wears out on my shoes very rapidly, particually on my running shoes. I know that this is happening due to a flaw in the way I run, or for that matter walk, and I have tried to correct it quite unsuccessfully. I run in high dollar shoes, because they really do make a substatial difference in reducing the amount of wear and tear that running can take on your body. I used to just go out and by a new pair of running shoes every few months, but my finances no longer allow me to lay down a $100.00 every three months for new running shoes. Anyone got any suggestions on on what I can do to slow down the wear on my shoes? Thanks a bunch for your thoughts and suggestions.

We're not really sure what to do anymore. He hasnt been holding his food down since friday so there is no food on his stomach lining. Just tried to give him his tea and he threw that up. He has had medicine for his chesty cough although he probably took it on an empty stomach, as he is refusing gos food and only eating two spoonfuls of it. He is 5.

Should i consult a doctor?

I DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE SO SEEING A DOCTOR WILL BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO AFFORD.

I'm 20 and noticed a lump in my right breast. Both have been extremely sore for about a month now so as I was massaging them, I noticed that lump. It's pretty small, pretty hard, and doesn't move around really. I've read that lumps appear around the time of menstration (which I should be starting in a few days). I've also read that lumps appear during pregnancy, and there IS a possibility of me being pregnant, though I noticed some VERY light spotting today which could indicate a period OR implantation blood. I can't quite remember what the lump felt like a few days ago when I discovered it, but it may have changed shape. I kind of remember it being bigger than what I'm feeling today. The lump itself doesn't hurt, but BOTH of my breasts hurt terribly, which was the first sign of my pregnancy the first time.
