Health - 19 December 2007

We just found out that my sister, who is 5 years old, has a large tumor that is attached to her back. She will be seeing a doctor tomorrow morning to go into more detail about it. I was just wondering what you people know about this and what treatments you know about.

This isn't her first. She was born with brain cancer and went through strong Chemo which shrunk the tumor and she has been cancer free for almost 5 years, (it would be 5 years this Feburary.) Please say a prayer for my sister, her name is HOPE.

I'm a teenager and I'm under depression, at least, from how I feel and what I've read about depression symptoms, I have depression. But I'm not comfortable talking to my parents about this, and my friends arent' reacting well to this either. Who do I ask for help from without my parents knowing?

It's hard and frustrating, and I feel worse everyday. I don't want help, I just want to talk to someone.
I have thoughts of suicide, and I don't want the attention of a therapist, that'll just motivate me more...

And my personality doesn't let other's convince me so easily, so suicide will be on my to do list for quite a while, but I want to talk to someone without causing much attention and my parents finding out

About 90% of the time I go to work, I get real bad headaches to the point of dizziness. I'm just fine before I go to work but once I clock in and get on a register(I'm a cashier) my head goes to banging terribly. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similiar, and what could be the cause of this?

Sometimes I think it must all be in my head, but I started taking it and I feel much more tolerant of the ignorance and stupidity of life. If I skip a day by accident, I have to turn the classical music up just a little more at my desk at work to stay decompressed.
Have you ever taken it? What was your experience? I think it is better than going on Prozac like the rest of the world, I prefer an herbal approach when possible.

well ive had this jock itch for quite a while and thats what im assuming it is. its right on the ridge of my penis head and a small spot on the shaft. it was red anf flaky and itchy. for a while it got bad to where it cracked then i used cortizole 10 somthing and i started going away or at least physically it looked gone so id stop. then it camr back and ive had been doing it off and on for a while eventually i ran out of corizole so i went a while without anythign and it got bad so i went out and bought lotrimin jock itch plus. im not how much its working becuase it makes it less flaky but it doesnt seem to work like the cortizole did. ive been taking it for about a week now so i have to wait it out i guess but i was thinking maybe the cream is getting rubbed off under my pants by my boxers and such. becuase after a while its gone like it got whipped off and i noticed this happens. idk if im apllying it wrong or if im supposed to rub it in harder or what.. please help!
