I am 18 and have always had perfect eyesight and a couple of months ago I had astigmatism and short sight -0.25 in each eye. Seeing as I had astigmatism -0.25 in one of my eyes a couple years back and then it dissapeared and has now re-appeared does this mean that hopefully my -0.25 prescription can return to perfect eyesight again or will it be downhill from here?

i recently noticed 4 little round bumps on my shoulder blade the size of a pencil eraser.They started off as an annoying itch but now they are waking me up at night from the pain. They havent spread anywhere and are isolated to my shoulder blade. I havent started anything new like foods or meds and havent been bitten by anything. Does anyone know what may have caused these things?

Hi, I am a 24 year old girl. I have had type 1 diabetes for 20 years. I was told I was geting complications 2 years ago. Diabetic Retinopathy. But yesterday I went ofr my yearly check up at the opthalmic surgeon he said it has progresed alot and that I will need to have laser surgery in less than 2 weeks.
I am terified of going blind, I hav looked after myself as best I could have, and have just started a five year double university degree. I feel like whats the point..
DOES THE LASER HURT? and how can I cope with this when I start to loose my vision. I'm not sure I can live in a world of darkness.
I know that there are so many people out there alot worse off than me but that thought really is not helping me at the moment.

I'm really so affraid, please give me some advise?

I can't look people straight in the eye for more than a few seconds even if I'm talking to them. For cases like an interview I have no choice and summon my strength and do it just a bit longer. Is this a common thing, does anyone else have this problem? Can I fix this?

Okay, so I'm an exotic dancer. Tonight, after giving this man a lapdance my nipples/chest area started to itch and had teeny little bumps on them. It went away after about 30 minutes or so. Everything seemed fine when I got off work. Then I walked into my shower and the water made me chest burn and the little bumps appeared again. I'm so PARANOID! Please tell me this man didn't have little bugs living on his clothes! What can I do?

Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer about two years ago. I asked her how long it had been since her last mammogram, and she said about 8 years. I then asked her if she did self exams on a regular basis, and she said that she didn't.

After talking with her, there is a possibility that it could be fiberous, as she's had those types of masses in the past. But she's 46 years old, and it's possible that might not be the case.

Are there programs for women without insurance or other assistance, to obtain mammograms and care, should they be diagnosed with breast cancer? If so, where would I tell her to check? She's in the Lubbock (TX) area.

EVERY time she walks buy it smells like a Seattle fish market mixed with old dirty blood AND the stench lingers for like 20 minutes.

She is so mean & hateful to EVERYONE in the office, and someone needs to tell her to douche, bathe or something but it's become a running joke that is no longer funny.

It is getting worse and when she goes on her smoke breaks she HAS TO walk by me & another girl's desk.

Today the smell was so horrific me & another girl almost threw up...LITERALLY

What should I do?

I can't stand her because of her fowl attitude BUT at the same time I need to save my nose.

I thought about telling our supervisor but I don't know how to say it...

Should I just come out & say, "KRISTINE STINKS like dirty blood & fish!!!" OR is there a better way to handle this?

The reason I'm so unsure of if I should "tell" is because I KNOW my supervisor HAS to have smelled it too...There's no way not to.

PLEASE HELP!!!
(SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!!!)

I do a scub every couple of days in the shower and use a deap cleansing mask once a week. Any other tips? My skin does look better since I started taking such good care of it but the blackheads will not go away.

If you're asking someone to help you die because of a disease you have whether you're in the hospital or not, but on life supports, are you committing suicide and the person you asked would be committing what?
