My mom has been having this weird thumping in her ear but she doesn't know why? What could be wrong, and what could have caused this? Because she never listens to anything loud, she said it's been happening for about a week. I'll add more details if you guys need more.

Thanks for your help. :)

My doctor hasnt got the test results back yet, but i have a white blister looking thing on my throat, and he says its either staph or mono. Ive missed four days of school already and my mom doesnt want me to miss more. Im on antibiotics but they dont seem to be helping my throat at all, ive been on them for two days and it still feels the same. Should i go to school? or wait until i get another doctors appointment and get properly diagnosed?

I've been a whooping 5 days on atkins and I feel sick to my stomach I cannot fathom another piece of meat or eggs again. Are there any low carb diets out there that doesnt use as much meat and eggs and butter and oil?? ARGH sick I'm gonna barf just thinking about it.

Anyway. So, I have to lose 180 pounds to be at my goal weight, I know, it's alot.

I exercise but that is not the problem, i am going back to work in february (on mat leave) christmas is in a couple weeks and I am thinking going on a diet after the holidays.


I have found it impossible to cut out nuts even for 2 weeks on Atkins, any suggestions as to which diet I should read about?
Low carb, veggies, but not with so much fat??

I am reading about the south beach diet but it seems complicated with portions, and one day you can have eggs and not the other.

What do you suggest?

I think I might have a drinking problem. My mother and her twin brother were are severe alcoholics. They have been sober 10 yrs +. I do not drink daily, but when I do, like say one weekends, I binge. Bad. I do things that are dangerous, risky, and very stupid. I can not even say what I do for fear of exposing myself. I have went out with a friends a few times, and stayed sober. I did OK with it, just was bored. I feel like I can not even enjoy sex unless I am 'buzzed'. You always picture an alcoholic as someone who drinks daily. Lately I am thinking its not just that. I have made some very poor decisions and I am very concerned. Help please.

I got my braces tightened last week (on monday) and a bracket fell off the day after. Well, today I went to the orthodontist today for what I thought was just to put a bracket back on that fell off on my second molar. Long story short, when I got there my regular ortho. wasn't there (he travels around to three different practice he owns) anyway, the guy who was there looked at my teeth like they normally do and then said he was going to change the archwire on the bottom and re-tie the top. I was confused so I asked the assistant why they weren't putting the bracket back on and she said that this early in the treatment (I've only had braces for three months) it wouldn't effect anything to not have a bracket on that tooth, but she was going to change the archwire anyway to "jump-start" the movement in my lower arch. My question is, is it normal for the archwire to be replaced like that only a week later? Thanks :)

I seem to be lost in situations in my life. My life isn't complicated, it's actually fairly simple, I know what I need to do, I know when I need to do it, and it keeps me content. I attempted suicide about a month ago because everything got turned upside down and I felt like I was more of a burden to the people I loved than anything else. After I got out of the hospital, and the baker act had ended, I felt like I learned a lot from the situation. The hospital's group therapies and psychiatrists were beneficial, and I've stayed on my meds for the first time ever...Recently though, everything feels wrong, the things I say, the things people say or do to me, the way I feel when I sit with myself...just everything. I don't know how to feel, or if I do feel I don't know if it's the right emotion for the situation. I'm not in the right state of mind to make decisions in my life, so I don't, and I'm being swallowed up. It's too much to deal with, and I'm convinced I'm insane...any advice?

When i look at bright colors, my eyes hurt. I can't see underwater. I cant even have anything next to my eyes besides glasses. When the doctors shine lights in my eyes, i can barely open my eyes enough for them to look into them. If I could just be unconcious it would save me soooooo much time, unwanted nightmares, flashbacks, episodes where i wake up in the shower huddled in a corner crying with cold water pouring down on me. Please let me know if anyone you know has done the procedure unconcious...... thanks a bunch.

I have stopped the Depo-Provera shot a few months ago. And I have started my menses again after about 6 months of being off of it. Does anyone have any feedback on how long I will have my menses and will they be really heavy? I have been having an extremely heavy flow now for about 1 week. Please share your experiences. THANKS SOOO MUCH!

My dad has been complaining about his knee, today when he got home from work he showed both my mother and I his knees and I could see the swelling right away. He says that he cant bend his knee all the way because it hurts. Are these signs of arthritis? He's scared and a bit discouraged he tells my mother and I that he isnt any good anymore. Im worried about my dad because he has never been sick or had any kind/type sickness........Can anyone please tell me if this is an early sign of arthritis? Thank you for your answers!!

I need to integrate fish into my diet. I am not a big fan of fish, I never have been.

Does anyone know a fish that isn’t so fishy?

I live in Northern Virginia so if you know of a restaurant that makes a killer not so fishy fish that would be awesome!

Thanks!
