Health - 16 December 2007

The pains are so intense i have been in the ER more than once, ive had these pains since 8th grade and now im a senior in high school. Then they werent as bad and i could handle them, now everytime i get them i feel like im dying. Every test has been negative or normal and its becoming so frustrating!! I went for a CCK hida scan and now im wating for results. I am going to college next year and i want these pains to go away...instead however, they are becoming worse and more frequent. It used to be every 6months about..then every 3 months..now over thanksgiving week i was in the ER twice! i need an answer!

New hip replacements are metal on metal. They make a dust which enters the rest of the body and increases cancer risk. Any info out there on this?

I don't want to try it but am curious about it.
I see on food products all the time on the bottom of the food lable stating that 2000 cal. is based on the diet of 2000 cal.

Can people lose weight eating that amount?

For the past 10 or so years (I'm 28) I've been lying to my family and friends. I lie about everything, big and small, sometimes I know I'm doing it, but most of the time the lie comes out of my mouth before I have a chance to tell the truth. Recently my lying got really out of control, to the point where its torn apart my 5 year relationship, I've lost most of my friends, my mother doesn't even want to talk to me anymore. I know I need to seek help, but don't know where to turn. I've tried seeing a psychologist, a social worker, I've been to various groups, nothing seems to be helping. I'm in central CT and was wondering if anyone could recommend a Dr or psychologist that may be able to help me with this. I know the change must come from within, but where do I start?? It seems that I go speak to people about this and they all say the same thing...I dont know much about your problem...whats that helping? Even if someone had the number of a referal system..I'm desperate, please hel

They keep all her medicines to prevent overdoses etc, but if she needs pain relief at night they say the staff cant give it her, as they arent qualified?! Also I have problems finding out who has responsibility for her overall.

SO basically i dont have extreme anxiety but just a mild case of it like when im by myself iM just fine or when iM around people im REALLY close to like my mom, dad, & sister i'll be fine but when it comes to going out or hanging out with people [even if i know them]
i start to get real cold & get the shakes...how can i chill myself out without the meds [bkus truely i dont think my anxiety really needs meds]
i want to be myself again when i use to go out & always have fun without being nervous!! ever since my depression its been really hard for me...ive over come alot of obstacles like being happier, talking with people & just getting out but its just been...ugh its like i have to learn how to socialize all over again!

Which brand of cholesterol meds had the commercial with an older guy, walking by a swimming pool, while all the ladies laying out at the pool watch him walk by googly-eyed? The guy dives off a diving board and makes a big splash, causing the ladies to lose interest. His cholesterol level was high apparently.
In another commercial, a "celebrity" arrives in a limo, flashbulbs go off, and she walks down the red carpet, eventually fainting.
Anyone??

She always enters my isolation room and says that she misses my hugs and kisses. So do I. What will I do. Can I hugs her once in a while ? Shall I let her wear a mask too ? By the way, she cannot understand why I am wearing a mask.

concerned about the closet terrorism going on? We are allowing our poor and the children of the poor to be terrorized by not giving them affordable access to organic foods. Why does this not concern and alarm people?

I have some serious tonsil stones and I can' remove them myself. I know that a doctor can but what kind of dr? Do I need to see a general practioner or a dentist? I tried asking my dad but he hasn't had tonsils since he was six so we're both in the dark on this subject.
