Health - 30 December 2007

I'm double-jointed in many places, mainly my knees and hips though, this has caused me HUGE problems in life because I was born to perform and for some reason my hypermobile knees have made it so I don't walk and run like a normal person, therefore I find it a lot harder to dance right. My problem with running caused me to be teased a lot as a kid too.
My mum has hypermobility but not as bad as mine.
I want kids in a few years and want to know whether a genetic counciler would be able to find out what gene causes this. With the help of science, can this gene be eliminated?

I heard from one of my friends that you can tell how big your breast are by the size of the areola and I was wondering if that was true or any other way to tell.

All I did was play sudoku online, read yahoo answers, watch TV, watch movies, eat, drink wine and mixed drinks home alone, download music. Straight for 7 days! Should I feel guilty? I have a good job and all.. but I'm on vacation.

I started a new pack of birth control before I went to bed last night at about 11 pm and by 1:30 I was running to the bathroom. I took some Pepto Bismol and drank some Vernors (ginger ale) but I was still up until 3 am. I couldn't lie back down because the second I did, I felt sick again.

WTF? I've been on this exact same pill for years. Why did it make me so sick?

so i have this bump in a weird area. It's in between where my pelvis is and my leg starts (femur)...it's like right on the crease. i mean its not noticable, i guess i noticed it when i kinda felt a slight pain where the bump is. When I push down on it a little u can tell its semi round and kinda hard. Feels like a tendon. I've had it off and on for a few weeks, sometimes its more noticle then others. Just wondering if anyone has had this before. Not sure if i should be freaking out or not. cancer maybe? idunno

I don't know how young you can be to develop arthritis but my knees and joints are almost always in pain.
When I sit I have to stretch my knees out or they'll start hurting, whenever my finger joints hurt I just start playing piano to keep my mind off it.
I'm anemic and have EDNOS so i'm not in the best of health.
I guess I can see why I might develop something else since i'm already a weak person without good nutrition.
My question is basically what it says...can anemia (and an eating disorder) also lead to arthritis?

My lower back has been uncomfortably sore for over a week. It feels like intense muscle soreness (like after a hard workout, which is how I think it started). I've tried getting lots of sleep, static stretching, asprin, massage, and complaining.
