My dad smokes and since he drops me to work everyday, I get some added exposure. Plus the guy I share my office with also smokes. Neither one is a chain smoker (they smoke about one every two or three hours), but I am still concerned. Should I be?

My member has a somewhat downward and lateral curvature since childhood. Dirty movie stars do not have this, so regardless of what consolation people give, as an objective person I know I am in a suboptimal state. It does make me self-conscious so I figure I should intervene at some point to make it closer to what I want as a boost to self-esteem which can only be a good thing for me. There is a certain expectation a girl has when a guy removes his garments, so one may as well conform to that as closely as possible I think.

I've done things with a girl before but I suspect they may be improved if I undergo the aforementioned intervention. There is a procedure called plication which essentially cuts out the opposite part of the curve in order to straighten things out.

I do not want anyone finding out though, as it is awkward. That includes family and I am under their health insurance. Also I am wondering about recovery time. Has anyone done it or has any tips for me?

The macular degeneration makes it difficult for her to see a craft. She also has tremors which makes it difficult to do any handwork because of the shaking. I have signed her up to receive books on tape from the National Library. This helps but doesn't fulfill her need to participate in activities.

I recently found out that my friends mom got herpes before she had him, does that mean that she could have passed them on to her son?

Went to the doctor 5 years ago for a physical and I had a high AST level- 101. The Dr. said it was bc of my mono and dismissed it. Recently I went back for another physical and my AST was still elevated (no more mono tho). I am 21, do not drink, and am healthy otherwise, no probs. I have had numerous blood tests, MRI'S, and ultra sounds. I also went to see a hemotologist (blood specialist). Everytime I get a blood test my AST is between 50 and 150. My bilirubin has been elevated before-but it is not always elevated and nothing else is elevated. My doctors do not seemed concerned-the hemotologist diagnosed me with Gilbert's syndrome, but I think that it is/may be something else. I dont believe that has anything to do with AST does it? Please help-I am a worry wort! It kind of bothers me my doctors just dismissed this issue.

I take good care of my skin (ex. wash it with acne medicated washes morning and night, use special facial lotions for acne, use facial masks, etc.) and I eat organic foods and drink soy milk instead of regular milk, but I can't get rid of my acne :(

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do to stop this never ending cycle??

I have been diagnosed,

I've had a biopsy, and I've gone through the surgery.

I wasn't given a specific level of where my cancer was at... they showed me a chart of normal, not normal, and the stages beyond.

I was at 2 of not normal. The Dr said that there is a good chance that through the surgery I could be cured. But I have to wait until December to go back and get tested again at the hospital.

When you read on the internet, all you hear is best and worst case senerios. What is the true outlook for someone like me?

I've used all the regular creams and pastes on him. It's not bleeding or itchy, but it very red and bumpy. Poor little guy. Anyone know of something stronger?
