As in, how do I know if I'm officially starving? I know I'm not now, but I wonder if I was starving at any point. Thanks.

I guess this goes in fitness/diet...?

My son is waiting to see the specialist about his behaviour. He has been waiting for months. He is 9 and has had problems since very young age. He doesnt play well with others, he is very angry all the time, he constantly threatens to kill himself.He hits himself.He argues with his sis,5 constantly.He lies all the time. his behaviour is terrible. He doesnt learn from punishment at home or school. His handwriting is poor. You can tell just by lookin at him that something isnt right. My niece has aspergers and i have OCD. he shares his time between me n his dad. he has 2 brothers 12, 13. his dad says he is just a pain but i know that something is very wrong with him. I can hardly cope with him anymore, i am worried for his future. ANy advice please would be very gratefully recieved. thanx from a desperately concerned mum x

I recently went to see my doctor about my stress and anxiety. She originally approved me for 6 weeks of short term disability, referred me to a wellness center to help me learn to manage my stress, and put me on Paxil. At my 4-week checkup, she switched me over to Lexapro in orer to assist with side effects, including decreased sex drive and concerns over the drug preventing weight loss (I am obese and trying to focus on losing weight and getting healthy again). I am now almost out of the 6 week supply of Lexapro she gave me, and was hoping to stop taking that soon because as I understand it, any type of anti-depressent can inhibit weight loss.

My question, to anyone who has taken Lexapro and gone off it, is this: Did you have to be weaned off of it, or were you able to just discontinue it? I am only taking 10mg daily. I know this is probably something I will need to discuss with my doctor, and believe me, I will - I'm just looking for some general experiences. Thanks.

I am not supposed to start my period for another week. Oddly enough I go to the bathroom today and behold, I see red so I put a tampon in. After a couple of hours the tampon isn't even that "dirty." What is going on? Has this happened to anyone one else? Can someone explain to me why I am having a short period before my actual period? Is this normal?

I have this problem with that my bra always rides up on me. What I mean is that I kind of come out the bottom and the bra ends up halfway up and I have to tug it back down.

I figure this is happening because I have the wrong size something. Do you think it not staying in place and riding up is because the band is too big/too small or maybe the cup size is too big/too small? Please give me some advice if you have some, it is driving me *crazy*.

My wisdom tooth has developed recently and for a few months a hole in the wisdom tooth has grown. I'm not talking about the hole where the wisdom tooth has been taken out I'm talking about an actual hole in the wisdom tooth. I would go to the dentist but, I don't have insurance and I'm too poor. The hole in the wisdom tooth produced a throbbing pain whenever I ate food, and food would get stuck on the hole and I wouldn't be able to take it out. Today, I did a sucking motion you know where you suck on the bottom of your teeth to get food unstuck while your eating or done eating, after I did the motion excruciating pain came from the wisdom tooth hole. I brushed my teeth and took a look at the hole and it is now pretty big, deep and kind of a white-ish gray color. It's completely fine if I leave it alone but, if I touch the hole with my tongue even in the slightest touch a sharp pain comes. Going to the dentist is not an option right now I can't afford it I'm only 18 living on my own-

My upper right wisdom tooth has been poking out of my gum for some time now. It is partially out. Well, about 3 days ago, I noticed I can't open my mouth all the way and can't chew too much out of no where. Like I said, it has been there, it just now started giving my problems with not being to open the jaw all the way. What is that? Did it grow more and now there is not enough room in my mouth? Or will that go away if I wait? I am really not too excited about getting it pulled, I have heard it is painful afterwards and will not be able to work for about 3 days afterwards. What should I do? Try and wait it out or try and find an oral surgeron? Wisdom teeth suck.

In general, I have a high pain tolerance, but I also have chronic pain. Could I be feeling intense pain and interpreting it as only moderate pain because of my high pain tolerance?
