I was just wondering how you can tell if you have an actual anxiety disorder? I think I might have one because I am always thinking way into things, like all the bad that could happen in situations, and I also at random times will start to freak myself out by thinking to much? but i cant help it. does anyone know the answer?

I've read online that genetics is a reason for bad vision. I'm 20 and have had glasses since I was 11. Both of my parents do not have problems with vision, neither do my 4 brothers and sisters. I'm the only one in the entire family besides my grandmother that wears glasses for near-sightedness.

Also I have a -3.00 and a -3.25 on my contact perscription. Is this considered really bad? Or about normal?

I had a total hip replacement in 2005. I now find I am having pain like the pain before my hip replacement. I am 5ft 7in. I weigh 124 pounds. The pain I have is located in my groin area and all the way around my hip. It then shoots into my upper thigh area. I limp when I walk because weight hurts on that side. I also cannot get moving when I first go to get up. I have to allow it time to warm up. When I lay down it is hard to get into a position that is comfortable.
My doctor has not seen me, but over the phone thinks it could be lower back pain. I had an MRI six months ago due to unusual swelling in the lower part of the same leg as the hip replacement. The MRI showed nothing was wrong with my back. Could this be arthritis? Many times to help solve the problem people have hip replacements. That is why I wanted to know if you can get arthritis if you have a total hip replacement.

Thank you,
Scarlett O

I'm on my third week of one of my pill packs. I'm going on vacation soon and I was planning on skipping my placebo pills and just starting a new pack, to try and skip my period.

The thing is, I've got my period right now, even though I'm not really "supposed" to because I'm taking the white pills with hormones in them right now.

Normally I'm afraid about skipping periods because I don't want spotting or anything, but I was thinking, if I have my period now, could that mean maybe there's less chance of me spotting when I skip my placebo pills next week, since all the blood's leaving now?

I live in a small apartment on the 2nd floor and I'm thinking about adding some cardio into my exercise. I was wondering what would be some good machines or exercises that I could do/buy, and at the same time, not cause a lot of noise and distraction to my neighbors? I'm looking for something that's relatively inexpensive, durable, and most importantly, can provide a descent workout. Thanks!
