I don't have insurance and I know that eye exams are probably different but an estimate would be nice. I don't know if they're around 50 bucks to 200 bucks or 300 bucks to 500 bucks... So any information would be nice :] I'm trying to order some contacts online but they need an uptodate prescription and mine is a year in a half old. thankk you!

Or does it have saccharides in another form?
Fructose, for example?

I am asking this because I really take care of my fitness, but my blood sugar drops quite easily. I do not have any instability or illness, I just consume it really quickly because I exercise a lot.

So is it for honey? Sugar or sugar in a "healthier form"?

My mom has always had huge issues about her weight. She was overweight for years, and is now super-skinny. I think she goes as far as OD'ing on diet pills and thyroid medication to keep it off. She always raises her weight in conversations, always talks about how to keep it off, what other women look like.

I will be frank and say that people compliment me on my body, and i am happy with it- until I spend time with my mom. She seems to think that a good body is a skinny one (only-nothing inbetween). She comments on what I eat,implies I need to lose weight (eg "you shouldn;t eat that. Women who eat that tend to put on weight", "I have this great weight tip for you).If she gets told off for being obsessive, she does it subtly- literally raises eyebrows whenever I eat, checks whats on my plate, shakes her head, or gets my senile grandmother to say something nasty!
Thing is, I am not putting on weight. But a week at home and I feel suicidal, fat and ugly.What do I do????

The curiosity of a mentally ill or depressed person might be enough to push them over the edge . But what about a normal healthy and happy human being , do you think anyone has ever done this?

Is this Depression?
I'm 14, Freshman.
I'm very pretty, and funny
But I don't usually talk to people I don't know, Im shy like that... but im not a quiet person.
I'm talkative and very smart.

But, I HATE SCHOOL (for the most part)
Classes bore me.
I get my work done in the first 5 min., then do nothing or read my novels.
I do however love Band and Art. (I'm an artsy person, but not emo or anything like that)
I'm an average person
I dress well
I'm nice, and funny
HOWEVER

I HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS
And I get lonely.
I don't trust anybody, because all of my friends have screwed me over some point or another.
I'm very mature for my age
I'm already planning for college, and know what I want for future career.

What can I do to be happier?
Am I Depressed?

Could it be Clinical Depression? And if it is should I be embarressed?
My brother had it when he was my age, and that fact always embarresed me.

I have pain in my right elbow only when I lean on it. I don't have any pain that goes down my forearm or wrist and I don't have any tingling or numbness in my hand. I also don't have any trouble lifting anything but when I lean on it whether it be a pillow or a hard service I get shooting pain that brings tears to my eyes. And today I even have some throbbing pain when I am not leaning on it but only in my elbow. Any suggestions as to what this might be? I thought it may be tennis elbow but every description of tennis elbow that I come across talks about pain going down the forearm that I don't have. Any suggestions will be helpful. :)

About a year and a half ago I read one of Maya Angelou's poems. Several months later I found a piece of paper with a poem on it, read it, and thought I wrote the verse. Today I picked up the same book I read a year ago, found the poem in the book, and realized I did not write the poem, that, in fact, it was one of Angelou's poems. I am 20 years old soon to be 21, does this happen normally to people or should I look into this memory fault further? If I were asked if that poem were mine without seeing the book again, I can ascertain I would have said "Yes, this is my work." My fear is if this happened to carryover in my schoolwork, this would be a perfect illustration of plagiarism, in my mind unintentional but very much occurring.. Any advice? Thanks.

I'm currently on at diet.
I would do my nomal walking burnign about 200 calories each day and alot of running around at school PE and that.
I also do 20-25 mins cardio, and weight lifting.
Last week I would do 20mins cardio and weight lifting, but I found on a body building website that I should do on Day 1 lower body training. Day 2 cardio Day 3 upper body like press-ups, sit-ups and reps. Day 4 cardio Day 5 upper body and Day 7 being a day of rest.
I eat a 1500 calorie diet, full of fruit, veg, protein, calcium, fibre and water a very well balanced diet.
What schedule do you think is best and most beneficial for losing fat and keeping, plus turning some of fat into muscle.
Thanks
