Not considering if you are based on a 2,000 calorie diet or anything, is 20 grams of protein per day enough?...Even if you are an athlete or not?

I had a break out of acne back in high school but I decided to do nothing about it for a year. That was a mistake. Shortly after that I decided to take care of my skin. Tried a lot of stuff and now my skin looks bad. What acne solutions would you recommend for acne and acne scars. I was thinking of pro-activ. Thanks.

So I woke up one day (yesterday morning) and got up, to find that for no reason whatsoever my back thigh muscles on both my legs, and nowhere else on my legs were aching as though I had been doing extreme exercise, which I wasn't. I hadn't been doing anything very strenuous before I went to bed but it feels like they have been punched and bruised almost, though there is no bruising. The pain is not consistent and is only present if I grab, push, or sit on them, or stretch them. It is a dull, achy pain. I also have the same kind of pain also like a bruise (but there is no bruise) on the right side of my hips, and I found that it is a place on my hip which I usually sleep on and now it is painful to sleep on it. Any ideas as to what this is and how I can get rid of it? It's been going on now for 2 days without any real improvement and I'd like to ask here before going to a doctor because doctors really scare me. Thanks.

I've been feeling "dead" since I was 14. im 20 years old now.
my symptoms where odd so I went day after day ignoring them and contiuned to live life feeling dead. I worked had a couple of relationships all while feeling emotionless and in my head I always just thought it was pubirty. eventully at 19 I decided to look on the net for what could be wrong with me. and I found somthing called "depersonalization" that seemed to some what fit but not fully. I know relize I dont have depersonalization. I left home and couple of months of being away from home I started to feel normal again. I then took a trip back home to visit my mom and stepfather and on the way back in the van I noticed I have alot of anger for him. He emotionally and physiclly abused me. Then Somthing Strange happend it was if he took my sense of self without saying a word and mirrored it onto him and as soon as this happend I went back "into my head" and feeling dead. what the hell is going on?

I'm 5'4" and I weigh 104 pounds ish. last time i checked my body mass index was about 17.8 or something (decimal may not be exact) and appearently thats considered unhealthy. But is it really unhealthy? because I know i'm a fairly small person, but i eat healthy and i eat enough, and i get enough exersise. People are always tellng me how skinny i am, but when i see myself in the mirror i don't really think im as incredibly skinny as people say. If maybe i am a little too thin, should I try to gain weight in a healthy way? or should i just leave it. I'm 20 years old.
If you think i should try to gain a little weight, how can I go about doing that in a healthy way. I don't want to eat bad food.

My boyfriend is the first uncircumsized guy I have been with, so I am just wanting some general info. Is it common for you uncircumsized guys to be ticklish down there? I get him right on the edge but then it gets all messed up cuz he starts laughing. What works for you other guys in the general sense? I know each person is different but are there any things I should know that could be helping me out?

When I'm run down, my body comes up in boils! It's really bad, but the doctors don't know what cause it. They get really swollen and painful, and in the end, no matter how often I clean them, they get really infected. I've had more than twenty of these in the last five years. I just had one on the front of my neck, and it's sure to scar. Does anyone else get these, and if so, does anything work to treat them? It's like I'm living on Flucloxacillin!

Since I don't really have room in my dorm for any of my regular exercises, I've started jump-roping in my hall to get my exercise. I just started doing this about a week ago, and on Thursday I kind of spaced out and got carried away jump-roping, and jumped for like an hour and a half without realizing it. The next day, I woke up and my calf muscles were insanely tense! Whichever tendon it is that lets your muscle stretch out and back, so you can walk--your hamstring, maybe?--doesn't stretch AT ALL, which makes it a little tricky to walk anywhere. I've been waiting for the muscles to relax back out, but it's Saturday now and they still haven't. Any suggestions? It hurts like crazy!

Part of my job is to clean restrooms. A friend recently told me that thin latex gloves that the company gives us may not be effective at keeping out germs. She said that low quality gloves may contain holes that are large enough to let germs through, but not really noticeable to the wearer. Should I buy my own reusable gloves or use the thin ones from the company?
