Basiaclly my family see me as a failure. Im including cousins, uncles and aunties. I have been brought down alot by them i.e studywise i may not be the brightest kids compared to my cousins who are doctors or something highly. But im working hard to prove people wrong. My life has been so low from the start and sometimes i ask god why me? I am so sick of life and being left out in everything. I have been heart broken so many times i just feel like i want to give up on life because it gets to much for me

I have type 1, and people ask me if mine is "BAD" enough that I have to inject insulin/use an insulin pump...but that is not "BAD" diabetes, just a different type in which you HAVE to take insulin (inhaled can also be done now). It is not that I have "let myself go" or have "had it so long". It is a different friggin' thing with similarities, the most obvious being the high blood sugar and potential problems. Why does the media pretend that type 2 is the only one?? I mean, I understand it is most prevalent, but you should have the type 2 also indicated where "diabetes" is printed, if that is the case.

I have several questions about MRSA as friend's of ours just found out that her husband has MRSA and we were just there on Saturday night- he has an open wound on his stomach and I have 2 small children- our children played together.

1. If you have MRSA- will you always have it?
2. What are the signs of MRSA infection?
3. What are the chances to get it from someone just by being at their house- our children were in close contact, however didn't kiss, etc.

Thank you...
freaking out right now...

Have seen a web site where sex went from anus to oral to vagina. No condoms involved was appalled. NO wonder HIV, STDs and Hepatitis are rampant. There should be site standards that support safe sex and if they dont they should be shut down. I wonder what the life expectancy is of these people.

I had a sore throat for about a week now.I went to my doctor and she tested me for strep throat.she said it takes 48 hours for the test to come back.however she said it could be a slight possibility that I have throat gonorrhea.I told her I only been doing sexual activites with my girlfriend.
Me and my girl been 2gether for a year and 2 months but we was broken up for 2 weeks and got back together 4 months ago.
We always have unprotected sex.Another thing my moms caught my cold too from being around me.She has a sore throat now.My girl has no gonorrhea symptoms.Im also thinking if she does have it,why didnt i get it when we first got back together(we had unprotected sex)

Could it be possible that I have gonorrhea or could I have strep throat or just be sick in general?

ok i am 18 and weigh 168lbs. Im 5 11 also. I have been working out for about 3 months now and have already dropped almost 18 pounds. I want to have a sculpted chest and mid section but cant seem to get rid of my belly fat. I lift weights 3 days a week and run 3 days a week. I drink over 100 oz of water a day and i am on a no sugar diet, eating 4-5 times a day. I even take an ephedrine caffine stack alternate weeks. I was speaking to my doctor and he said that i dont need to be any lighter because i am at an optimum weight for my size. What else can i do to get rid of this fat around my chest and stomach, i lift alot of weights but cant seem to get the definition i want to see. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and tips for building mid section definition would be great.

I saw this cold sore thing on this girls lip while on the Metro this morning and now I think I am getting a zit or something on my upper lip. Do you think by looking at someone else and saying "Oh gosh!, I dont want to get that." actually can trigger something in the mind chemically so you now could get one of those things?

I have bruises under my eyes, they're there just suddenly! I also have small wrinkles (more like thin lines) exactly under my lids, why is that? How can I fix it? Another thing...I have really pale skin, and today I woke up and realized that, right above both my cheeks, I have a line....it's kinda red and brown. It looks like a tan went wrong, even though I don't tan. How do I get rid of that?

Hi,

I started taking Seasonique in October, this will be my third month on it. I have read the side effects & realize that you do spot variously within the 3 month prescription. Can someone tell me how long this lasts for? I know it varies with everyone's body but when I was on the Depo Provera (the shot) ~ my GYN told me that you'll either get your period irregular, regular, or not at all, I didn't get it at all. The reasoning me taking the Seasonique is NOT to get my period for 3 months, as I was told that you do NOT NEED to have your period every month. I do spot pretty much everyday, I did stop spotting for maybe somewhere between a week & 2 weeks, that's it though. When I'm spotting, it's more of a brown discharge (sorry to gross you all out). Can someone help me with this situation? Thank you in advance!!!! :-)

I am 3 stone overweight and taking Orlistat and so far lost a stone since Sept. I am also on Cipramil and a low dose of Quetiapine to help with my moods. I was in a car accident 2 years ago and unable to do any fat busting exercise...that's how I put on all the weight on. I have just had a op which is linked to the accident so am on crutches. I am trying to keep my weight down and exercise daily with weights and do between 200-300 ab crunches, but my weight won't budge. I am not eating large portions (went to dietitian who sorted that out) but I need to lose 4lb before my next weigh in on Thursday....any ideas?
