Where are these "studies"? Where are these "results"? These same people who are making these claims are now spoutting off that aspartame caused the gulf war syndrome... that it was created by the government to hold you down... WTF??? Is aspartame REALLY bad for you or is it just a conspiracy theory??

Well i was worried that 4 days ago i went to a friends house and (btw were 15) someone brought 30% rum. SOme kid had some and then like 1-2 hours later he said he was puking and had to go home. I think he had a flu because he didnt have THAT much. I thought i might have caght it because i was sitting beside him all day. Now the fact that it was 4 days ago takes away my worries because flus dont take 4 days to affect me. Because tonight i just started having diarrhea. (BTW im emetophobic T_T) and uhh im scared i caught something and im having major gas. Im afraid to go to bed because i think i will wake up puking. AM i just freaking out?

My nephew recently got kicked out of his home by his parents because they found out that he robbed a house and is doing drugs. He dropped out of school and he came to me for help. He used to be a good kid and I think he's just hanging out with the wrong crowd and that's why he started getting into trouble. I want to let him stay with me in my apartment but I'm afraid of what he might do to me. So far he's been nice and I really don't think he would hurt me, but sometimes I get scared of him. I really feel sorry for him cause our family has abandoned him. I think he really needs someone right now to help him get straight again. He's been sleeping in his friend's car. What should I do?

She has no STDs. She had a yeast infection a few months ago but took medication and it's long gone. It smells like something very disgusting and tastes salty (but that's the usual taste). It's just very unpleasant.

Any reasons why?

From Childhood I’ve been shy, introvert, I have always felt deprived of love and no recognition or appreciation from others, on one occasion my father told me straight he doesn’t love me. I was always alone at school, group work was always left for me to do because the students in my class knew I was a high achiever and my parents would be furious if I came home with a bad grade.

I’ve been suffering from depression now for a few years now, and pains in my arms and legs all my life. My parents aren’t the most supportive parents, at 14 they forced me to get part-time work for pocket money so I did I worked part-time at a supermarket where my main shift was weekends Saturday 12-10pm, Sunday 9-10pm I worked there for 2 and half years before exhaustion caught up with me. My doctor told me that I had to quit my job and he wrote me a week off from school for bed rest, so I did. I never quite recovered from the exhaustion, it followed me and caught up to me badly during my last year of school, this caused my grades to drop which angered my father severely. I remember on night when I was trying to relax surfing the net my father came in and he was so mad he hit me across the face so hard I fell off my chair.

My parents never gave me any freedom, I wasn’t allowed a girlfriend, to go to parties, go out at night, I wasn’t even allowed to go to my school prom or even the school award ceremony. After school I was to come straight home and to stay in my room until the next school day, other than bragging rights they didn’t want a sound from me, I was always sworn and cursed at if I tried to join the family in the living room they made sure to make me feel unwelcome. My dad and sister are both very verbally abusive towards me. My sister is my parents absolute favorite they’ll do anything for her, seeing her going to school dances and bringing boyfriends home really makes me wish I was allowed to do those things, it really eats at me.

Straight after finishing my last exam I got work painting safety walkways at a steel mill, there was no break for me, because I needed money to pay my parents rent and to go to university. My first year of uni (last year) was the worst year of my life. I began classes tired form the job which ended the Friday before I started uni, a week or so later I found out from other students from my school that the scholarship we came to the uni under had already been paid out but mine hadn’t weeks later they still wouldn’t tell me why they didn’t pay so I had to pay for uni out the money I had earned painting, I also found out that the uni had messed up my courses by putting me in two trial courses which I didn’t agree on and they felt the need to charge me full price for this. There where major problems with these two accounting courses like errors in their exam papers that caused the mid term exam to have to be redone by the whole class because of missing figures and the fact that the papers were only being marked on the final answers, that were not checked for errors in the markers sheets.

The stress and exhaustion got too much for me so I cancelled my B semester I finished A semester and spent I week sorting out the final paperwork I also didn’t have the money to go back to uni for B semester. Then I burnt out and collapsed I was asleep for a month and a half before I woke again , you’d think they took me to a hospital but no they just left me in my room. I spent the rest of the year trying to get back to normal life, because while I was asleep I wasn’t eating, showering or going to the toilet (I remember my pee being brownish red which was worrying me) and I was still sleeping around 18hrs a day, since then my eye sight (I have black and white dots throughout my entire eye sight) and hearing has been getting worse, whilst still waiting for the private psychiatrist to get back to me I had to endure the verbal abuse from my father about what a useless sack of **** I was day in and day out.

In my country its illegal for a doctor to subscribe anyone under 18 any anti-depressants, So when I was 18 I asked him if he could help me, he referred me to pubic mental health place and a private psychiatrist. The private psychiatrist got back to me earlier this year because they had a long waiting list, the public place never got back to me. I’ve been on anti-depressants since but they aren’t helping but he couldn’t help me with the fatigue. I’ve also been unable to find a job in my town this whole year, Job interview after interview they all turned me down, I can’t work as fast as other people anymore and having depression all counts against me. I’m really at the end my line, I haven’t felt alive in years I feel so dead inside and lately suicide is looking like a much better alternative. I can’t get a job, I can’t pay to study, I soon won’t be able to pay rent. What in the world should I do?

So next week I have a special arrangement and was wondering if their were ways to look less bloated maybe by detoxing all that sugar, basically I'm going to start to diet afterwards, but it would be great to have an extra push for my arrangement next week. Take in mind that I weight 200 or so lbs.

ok so on saturday my family friend was over just visiting. This morning she calls us and says her husband is throwing up. I came home from a family dinner today, and found 2 pieces of gum chewed up by my dog. She has done it before so i didnt worry. I then went to midnight mass, and when i came back the dog had thrown up. It wasa brownish color. I noticed that she had just finished all her food. Im thinking it was a combo of the gum and the food, but im just wondering. could she have caught a virus from my family friend. If so...could i get the virus from her? i really dont know
any help would be great...Thanks!!!!

I went hiking with a friend and two others, my friend had her period, we were walking and joking around, i made a joke and she just about snapped my head off, several times, and believe me any other time other than having her periods she would have been fine with the jokes, i really feel she should apoligise to me for her rude behaivior, but she hasn't, do you think i deserve one or should i be like,ok don't worry about it, she made me feel as if i don't want to go anywhere with her again. unfortunatly my nature tells me never to go out walking with her again.
