I am curious what it feels like right as your going out, is it like blacking out, fading away, etc... I am having anxiety over this and would like some answers from people who have experienced it!

A friend said that if a bottle of water has been sitting in my car, and my car has been baking in the hot Atlanta sun all day, the said water is now tainted with poisons from the somewhat melted (or softened) plastic. I think it's ridiculous, but I have to at least ask around.

i mean i have this lotion and i use it to basically prevent a 'tan' from forming on my skin, but it says 'protects from uv rays and helps prevent sunburn', I wouldn't have a sunburn as i am brown skinned but i want to know if the thing can prevent sun tan as well , because be it tan or burn , it is caused due to UV right?

Warnings that Celebrex is giving out: Tell your doctor if you:

Are pregnant
Have a history of ulcers or bleeding in the stomach or intestines
Have high blood pressure or heart failure
Have kidney or liver problems

Shouldn't your doctor be telling YOU that you have these issues? What freaking good is your doctor if you have to self diagnose yourself???

I have tried 2 hours and less a day and no matter what amount of hours I spend on the beach, I break out in a red, bumpy, rash. If I am at the pool at home for 5 hours a day for as many days, nothing happens except a tan. What is going on?

I have a cholesterol level/rating of 5.7 which is moderate to high risk. A typical day's diet:
Breakfast: a banana or oranges,
Lunch: 100% whole wheat bread w/ cheese (no margarine or butter) or 100% whole wheat bread w/ peanut butter.
Dinner: White rice w/ veggies and a meat dish (chicken wings or pork ... I don't often eat red meat) .. or some nights it's just white rice with veggies and tofu ... or white rice with spinach and salmon.
And for desert I do have a scoop of ice cream or stuff my face with watermelon.
I do snack on fruits like grapes and strawberries. I also wonder whether I can get diabetes from all this natural sugars!

Perhaps my dinner isn't the healthiest (??) but is it the cause of increasing my cholesterol levels? This year I have been pretty lazy with my workouts so past months, I've only worked out once a wk versus my past 3X a wk. Hence the weight gain ... but I'm curious about the increase in cholesterol level.
I'm 27, abt 5'5" and maybe 130-135lbs

my friends niece had a baby born with anencephaly, which means he was born without a brain. But has a brain stem which allows breathing and heart beat. Does any one know anything about this? How long does a baby usually sustain life until it dies from this? Im just amazed, I had no idea a human body could function without a brain and just with the brain stem alone. He will never be able to do anything of course but its so sad. Hes perfect in every other way.

Hi. We are going through a temporary switch with our insurance with teachers retirement and don't have the 1,000 detuctable or insurance until Sunday...Could really use your help.

My husband is a dialysis patient and is temporarily using a catheter until his fistula develops. Today he couldn't run the dialysis machine on the full flow rate of 400---only 200 and ended up getting off early. Now where his catheter is, actually it is above it toward his neck, he has a lot of swelling. (The size of a soft ball.) He is going to put ice on it. We think it might be the way he slept last night.

Do you think this will be okay or what to do?

Thanks to anyone who responds.

I've just come back from the pub where I saw non smokers already smirking and also shunning smokers in a big way. As a smoker i think that these people could quite easily cause arguements in the days to come. Plus.... smokers, trying to give up could get quite bad tempered and cause a few more problems in the days to come. Anybody else got views on this?
