Okay a friend of mines told me that every single time you take a bath your tan washs off. Im not talking about spray tans or tans that come from lotions, im talking about real-lay-in-the-sun types of tans. Is this true??

sometimes when I'm sitting down, watching TV or at a movie theater; the lower right part of my skull/top right part of my neck would hurt a little (its not severe, very little pain). It would go away when I get up and walk around. My memory has been affected a little as well; I'd forget unimportant names (ex. celebs) if I haven't heard about them in a while. Thing is though I have been sleeping on the couch for a long time and haven't slept on a bed in a while and rarely get a full 8 hours of sleep. Could this be a symptoms of a brain aneurysm, or is it the posture or the posture of my sleep that's really screwing up that part of the neck? I'd like some experts to help answer this thanks!

Ok well I've had this mole since I was born. It's never gotten bigger or changed...oh and its not freakishly black, grey, or blue. Just a normal brown one. My dermatoligist said its probably nothing but he suggested we get it removed just in case because the outer ring seems to be just a little lighter than the middle. So I got it removed to day. He said he knows for 100% sure that its not melanoma thank God!!! But he said there's a slight possibility that it could be pre cancer or abnormal and if thats the case I have get some cuts and stiches or something he said. What are the chances of this? If I hafta get this done is is a huuuge deal? He acted like its not really. Just about as serious as taking off the mole. Anyone have expirience with pre cancer or abnormal moles? Is anyone undergoing treatment or a survivor of melanoma? I'd love to hear your story and please answer my questions! Thankyou!!!

shortly after starting it (5 days later) part of my right hand went tingly (like its asleep) and now its been 10 days and its still tingly feeling..its frustrating me. I saw my doctor yesterday and she seems unconcerned. I'm worried:-( It interferes with my work and daily life and its just plain uncomfortable. Has anyone else taken this drug and had these kind of side effects? I see its listed as a possible side effect on the label, but other than that, I've had no others. Of course, I'm looking things up on the net and convincing myself I have some horrible disease (yes, I'm stupid!). I need some reassurance and a new doctor apparently.

I have a somewhat small lump in my left side. right about in the center of my ribcage. I cant tell if its beneath or on top but I can feel the lump.
Ive had it for almost 4 years. Yes I know I shouldve had it checked out along time ago but Ive been scared. Ive maybe only been sick 2 times in the past 4 years.
Any chance of living with cancer and not getting sick or having symptoms?
It doesnt hurt its just ALWAYS there and its uncomfortable

This has been going on for about 3 years now, I get this weird heart pain and my heart starts beating really fast. This only last about 30 seconds but it scares me so much. When this happens I can't breathe very well, my heart seems to tighten up and I get feel weak. Does anyone have the same problem? Anyone know what this might be?


I went to my doctor around the time that this started happening and they ran some test on me and sent me home. He said nothing was wrong at all.

I have great health insurance, but it does not cover a dietician, and my doctors have no diet advice for me other than what I am already doing, so I need advice. I have been at a plateau of the same exact weight for two years 150 - 5' 6" with measurements of 36- 25 - 39 (I carry my weight in my legs, hips, and some in the upper arm; but my waist is always small), but several of my doctors (I have other issues steming from having long-time metabolic disorders) told me if I lose more weight that it could improve my condition and increase my odds of not becoming full-blown diabetic. Now, I eat an extemely strict diet of lean meat, tofu, most vegetables, berries, cheese, nuts, and other healthy fats (absolutely no sugar, processed foods, or alcohol); and I exercise by hiking up a steep hill on an average of 3 times a week at 45 min. each time. I cannot cut calories too much, b/c I have to eat 6 small meals a day to prevent my blood sugar from going too low. What should I do to lose weight?

I have one pretty big and nasty wart on my foot and it's getting to be really annoying. I've tried using a couple of different methods, like bandages with little pads of acid but those didn't work. I also tried this kit where you wash your feet, use a provided file and scrub down the wart and then put some acid on the wart. I did this for around three weeks and it didn't have any effect. Does anyone have a good idea of how to get rid of them for good? And I'm trying to avoid duct tape as I heard it actually doesn't get rid of the wart for good.
Thanks
