Health - 24 December 2007

So a friend of mine has been smoking marijuana for 12 or so years now...and hes letting it run his life. He comes home from work just to leave and smoke 4hrs l8r he comes home just to leave 2hrs later to smoke again. He makes 550$ every friday on his paycheck but never has any money to show from it come sunday. It's been bothering me for awhile now but it's gotten worse..how can i confront him and get him to quit?

His fiancee whom hes been with for 6yrs now barely sees him [i'm suprised she tolerates what he does] marijuana always comes b4 she does, actually marijuana is his TOP priority over paying bills or what have you. I need help!!

I looked up anorexia and looked at all the symptoms. And I had every single symptom. Or I could relate enormously to them. I never want to eat anything, and have been told that you dont have to be sickly skinny to be anorexic. My friends and teachers are always telling me to eat. And I really do hate how I look, and I think I'm fat. I dont know if I have a problem or not.

This stunt looks interesting but looks painful. How much do you think it hurts 1-10 (1=no pain to 10=worst pain)

Also, would you try the ladies role (jumping) or the guys role (taking the impact)

if they are not testing for cancer, but have done multiple different blood test for other things, will cancer be able to be detected still? can they tell you if they are not looking for it?

I am 23 years old and I have just gotten off my period, over the last couple of weeks my right nipple has been increasingly sore, upon looking at it, it looks like maybe a pimple is on or near the nipple but it is not a pimple, I am not sure what it is, but there are times where the soreness comes and goes and today it was really bad, it felt like somebody was pinching it as hard as they could. Any ideas on what this could be? Im not breastfeeding or anything so I don't think it could mastitis. Please answer seriously. Thanks in advance!

i think i gained like 5 pounds today from just one meal. i had 3 pieces of roast beef, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, broccoli with cheese sauce, a roll, cheese and crackers, ham, and pie with ice cream. my stomach looks like i am pregnant, its sticking out and stuffed and fat looking. but for some reason i cant stop doing this every couple days because i cant make myself stop eating once i start. i also kind of like the feeling of rubbing my round full belly. i know this is unhealthy but do other people do this?

I'm 18 years old, 5'3", female, 112 pounds. For about 3 years I dealed with eating disorders. A few months ago I decided to take a turn for the better and start living my life the way I should. The problem is, though, that I haven't been eating right and I've gained a good ten pounds. I know this is natural considering my eating disorders, but I've become very unhappy with the way I look. I know that If I don't do something about this, I'll turn back to my old ways and starve myself untill I'm happy with my weight. Instead, I'd like to get into a diet and fitness ruitine and lose some weight in a gradual way. I just joined a gym, so I plan on doing 30 min of aerobic exersize 5 times a week, and weight training 3 times a week. I want to eat healthy, about 1600 calories a day. Does anyone have an example of a diet plan for me? What I should have for breakfast lunch dinner and snacks? Keep in mind that I need alot of fiber because I ruined my intestines with laxative abuse. Thanks alot!!!

I am planning to book a session with a personal trainer to work on a new workout routine. I plan to visit the gym 3-4 times a week, maybe more if it will work better but i know you can over-train, but I am currently looking for a good diet to coincide with the new workout. Can anyone help with this? Does anyone know of anywhere on the net where I can find a sample diet that I can fit into my daily routine? Many thanks

I turned 16 years old about. I'm tired of my brothers making fun of me about this, so I would like to fix it. I will point out a few things first so maybe someone can correct them. I eat mostly sugars (candy) because I never get fat. I think gummies, fruit by the foot, and gushers are good for you and count as a fruit, but I'm might be wrong. I've cut down on my soda drinking. I rarely eat fruits or vegetables. I drink more juice than water. I never drink milk. I exercise probably more than the average person, but I'm willing to work harder. I'm often outside in the sun. I bathe regularly. I don't want to spend a lot of money to get some fancy medication. I've have a few patches of acne for about 4 years. The other parts go away after a few months, but now there is increasingly more than normal for me. I don't sleep too much. On school nights I stay up to 11 or 11:30 and have to get up at 6. On weekends I go to bed at 12-1 and get up 7-8:30. I appreciate all suggestions.

im 9 months pregnant right now and my throat has been feeling itchy and slightly burning. the last time it felt like that was in the summer when i was about 3 or 4 months pregnant. i remember the doctor told me i probably have strep throat and gave me some penicillin medicine, but then once i took that, i found out i was allergic to it. so what i ended up doing i think was just letting time pass by and dealing with it for about 2 months. it hurts bad and is really annoying. i have a feeling it's the exact same thing again but what can i do to help it feel better while i can? b/c tomorrow is xmas and everyone will be closed. so i cant go see a doctor about it til wednesday. what should i do til then? thanx

I've never thought i'd wait till marriage to have sex, but I always thought it'd be with someone that i had been dating for a long time and was in love with. I'm 18 and i've been hanging out with this guy for the past two months. Everytime we hang out we end up in bed but we don't have sex. We make out and do. . .well everything else. I like what we have. . .it's not a relationship but we talk a lot. He knows that i'm not going to have sex with him. He calls and texts me everyday but we both have talked about it that we don't want it to a relationship.

I guess my thing is that NOW i feel like i can lose my virginity to him and not regret it. Last time he stayed over he told me that he didn't want me to lose it to some virgin that didn't know what they were doing because it should be a good time. And it always is a good time when we're together. . .never awkward or uncomfortable. So I guess my question is, do you think i'll regret it? Did you regret losing your virginity?

I have a very sore throat, but not the kind that is helped by a throat lozenge. It feels like I swallowed something too big and for a while, I thought that's what it was, but I've had water, other foods, nothing has worked, and it has only gotten worse. I don't believe I have a fever, no other symptoms or anything else wrong with me. Any clue as to what this is?
