I'm tired of taking all those drugs, which are supposed to cure me, but also are very heavy to digest and damage the stomach. Are there other remedies? HELP!

I am 16 years old and every time I look in the mirror at my chest I am not at all impressed. My breast do not look that big at all, they are getting fat a little bit but they do not hang out like I want them too. My circles aren't even that big but they are very dark like they are supposed to be. I know somebody in my family whose a plastic surgeon and he said that he would give me implants if I wanted them. I told my boyfriend that I wanted to get some and he said no because I didn't need them. I don't know what to do, I am happy with myself a lot but it seems like at 16 they should be a little bit bigger than they are now, so what should I do? Get the estrogen pills, the implants or just wait?

My ears have been pierced for about 2 months now. Yesterday night one of my stud fell out of my ear, and when i tried to put it back in it wouldn't go in. When i poked it in hard it hurt. Theres a bit of crust around the hole and its all pink now. I tried poking the other way, but that didn't work either. I tried squeezing it, but nothing came out and nothing happened.

What should i do??!

About an hour ago i bumped the back of my head verryy hard. I didn't stand up or walk around right away (i bumped it on my bed's headboard, it's really low and hard). I just laid down for awhile, i almost went to sleep, but didn't.when i stood up to come to my computer my vision was a little blurry. But i DON"T have a bad head ache. I just have a bump that is sore.
Should i worry?

For example, I feel tired at work when I am not well rested. Others, however, seem to get by on less rest.

If I work 84 hours a week, on average with 4 hours of sleep between each shift. On my single day off I sleep for 12 hours to "catch up". All 8 days though I am tired and my work performance is less than great.

Others however seem to do just fine with the same schedule.
Our eating habits are the same or near similar.

I have been told that there is nothing, and I just have to accept this fact. My eyes get worse every year since my 40s. What about something in my diet or computer use restriction. I do eye exercises but doesn't seem to help.

I am in great health. I don't have thyroid issues. I run 30 miles a week, lift weights to stay toned, and have no health issues that I am aware of. I'm not skinny, but my body fat is only about 5%, my BMI is 21.3. Perhaps that has something to do with it. I just don't know. My hands get cold easily. I feel great and this is not really a problem, but I am curious why this may be so. Any ideas?

Merry Christmas!

My physical appearance says I have it. But I been tested for the lungs and such and every thing healthy. (they were not search for any signs of Marfan Syndrome but it still came out good)
My daily life style is like this. I eat maybe once a day a meal not to big and squeeze a bunch of small snacks like candy or chips between.
I never have an appetite so I smoke weed to get one. I also smoke about 2 packs of cigarettes a week.
I do all that cause I may or may not be depressed. I am not sure I have my good and bad days. So what do you think?
Do I have it or its just poor habits?
I have to see a specialist soon but geez. I am not ready for bad news.

if a person attends a gathering and gets contact with second-hand smoke for 2 hours, how does that affect him. Will their lungs and body detxify itself. Is there a chart that states ie: 6 people smoke in a room, then you will be affected this specific way, and the body will detoxify itself by this way.
I read that Short exposures to secondhand smoke can cause blood platelets to become stickier, damage the lining of
blood vessels, decrease coronary flow velocity
reserves, and reduce heart rate variability,
potentially increasing the risk of a heart attack.

Secondhand smoke contains many chemicals that can
quickly irritate and damage the lining of the airways.
Even brief exposure can result in upper airway changes
in healthy persons and can lead to more frequent and
more asthma attacks in children who already have
asthma.
But what is considered brief exposure?

I have a slightly crooked spine in the middle region so he did some adjusting. Deductible + Co-Pays is going to be $860.00 out of pocket. They wanted partial payment yesterday, I'm a college student, told them I couldn't pay anything until after the holidays they are fine with that - either 2 or 3 payments next year. They want me to come in Wed, Thurs, and Friday to get adjustments done.

I've never been to one of these before, so does this sound like everything is on the up and up?

I know many people have had bad exp. with chiropractors so if you could leave your personal opinion out and just give the facts that would be great - Thanks!

Okay, so i got my period last month a week after i had sex, an havent had sex ssince(long distance raltionship)i took 2 tests prior to 12/14/07. I started spotting exactly 1 week before i was suppopsed to start my placebo pill. 12/14/07 is when i had surgery, unrelated, and they took a pt, and it came back neg. i was put on pain killers and antibiotics. i started my placebo time on pill, b/c no one directed me otherwise. when i started my placebo, it was heavier then the spotting, but still not like a regular period. Also, my "period" i have had crampsToday, which will be the 4th day of my placebo pill, is is lighter than ever. My question is, is there a possibility i could still be pregnant? OR is it from all the mediction. I took all the antibiotics and that was yesterday morning or the night before, and stopped taking the pain killers yesterday morning about 9 b/c it was making me too sick, and i could run errands. Today, i think i am waking up with migraine. What do you think??

My cousins grandpa has pancreatic cancer that has spread to his brain and all through his body. The hospital gave him less than a month to live. The morphine isn't really helping the pain and he is deteriorating day by day. He had surgery last week and was fine! But this is such a surprise. They are supposed to come over Christmas Eve, we exchange gifts and everything. Do you think they will come. And even worse.. What are his chances? Good advice please. This is not a joke.. it is completely and totally serious. Thanks.

My wife and I have enjoyed a fine sex life for years, but she still gets sore after 15 minutes or so. She is rather small, but I am not above average in size. Often, we have to stop having sex because the pain outweighs the pleasure for her. She has no particular medical condition that either of us are aware of that would cause this either.
Can anyone suggest a product/exercise/anything that might help?
