I'm thinking Derren Brown sort of thing....Can you control your emotional and physical stress with your mind so you could avoid medication? Has anyone done this or can you reccomend something?
Thanks in advance.

ok so i've had this wart on the palm of my hand sice 5th grade. im currently in 8th grade and now i dont only have a wart on my palm but about 2 or three on my middle finger on top like right where it bends. ok so we've gone to the docter to get them frozen off like 3-4 times a year and once they get frozen they go thru the normal process of dying. swell up, turn black and fall off. then about after 3-4 weeks of being completely healed, a lil dot of shiney pink skin forms on my finger and palm. then after a couple more weeks, it turns into a wart. its not the same wart dying and coming back, for they are in different postions on my finger each time, but they just arent going away!! its so embarassing! especially when people ask whats on ur finger and u say oh its a wart and they go eeeewwwwww gross!

i just need to know if anyone has had the same prob as me and or what they did to cope with this horible virus

thanks :]]

My sister is very ill & she's in desperate need of a kidney donor. She developed juvenile diabetes & has led a very sick life. She attends dialysis 3x a week. Aside from that she is always in the hospital because her pancreas & kidney have failed. She has 2 seizures this month from her diabetes, its getting harder & harder to control her blood. She suffers fr diabiliting migraines due to her organs failing which also puts her in the ER. Can someone please tell me how to increase her chance of finding a donor? She lives in NY, I went to get tested to see if I would be compatible but the 1st question I was asked is Are both your parents Diabetic I said yes. They quickly ruled me out and said I was not able to. I don't know where else to turn, I have even written Oprah to see if she would help but havent heard back. Is there another state that would consider me, please someone help us, time is running out for her. I am so scared to lose my sister.

I just recently started to work at braums(ice cream store) and one of the requirements is to wear a hat the entire time you're on duty. My question is... Why does my forehead tend to break out when I wear my hat?

When I wear the hat my head seems to get hot and I start to get a lil sweaty ;_;- The reason why I swet is because I get nervious; because I just recently started working at braums a few days ago.

So, what should I do? Any opinion is helpfull, I know I need to get a lil less intimidated/nervious, but what should I do about the acne breakouts?

Most of the time after I have sex I get an Urinary Tract Infections and I carry all these symptoms:

* A strong, persistent urge to urinate
* A burning sensation when urinating
* Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
* Blood in the urine (hematuria) or cloudy, strong-smelling urine

It's very painful so whenever this starts to happen I would take my mom's vaccine to help it but I'm getting tire of always having the thought of needing medication after sex .. and I don't do anal sex or anything like that.. just regular sex & oral with protection of course. I told my friend about it and she ask could i possibly be allergic to condoms/latex ones? I wonder to.. >< my question is how can I still have sex w/o getting an UTI again&again and preventions?

I took my blood pressure 3 times in 5 minutes. The first one was 123/72, the second one was 151/82 and the 3rd one was 119/84. In under 5 mintes this seems crazy to me. I don't feel dizzy or anything. Is it just that maybe my monitor isn't good? Or is this kind of reading possible? Can it be my nerves? I was nervous taking my pressure.

I read in Isreal they think after a study of normal men your blood sugar should be 85. I just got mine down from 535 and the diet is tough but doable. I was hoping I wouldn't have to add excerise yet as my knees are still bad at my present wt.

My grandpa was recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer(the worst there is). He has been going through chemo and it has taken a toll on his body. Doctors predict he has about six months at the most. How do I explain to my five year old sister that he is going to die? I'm afraid if I say or don't say the wrong thing, we might run into some uncomfortable questions later.

He was 65.He had mild MR for 3 years and managing with pills.He was attending his wife in a hospital for 1 month climbing stairs and walking long distances.Several times he got slight pain in the chest at different times for 4 days and finally admitted in hospital for severe chest pain and wheezing.After 3 hours he felt like normal.They took ECG,echoCG and prescribed new tablets.He stopped the old pills and started the new.In the evening he felt uneasy and asked for Deriffillin injection and got it.After an hour he got severe pain in the chest and collapsed in 5 minutes.My questions are,
1.Whether he should have undergone a surgery earlier?
2.Whether he should have avoided exertion?
3.Whether he would have been saved,if admitted in a good hospital?
4.Whether he died due all these resons?
Your valuable answer may save My wife's life.She mourns a lot.

At first I didn't pay attention when it was about 14-18 cups of water a day. I also have a past hystory of getting bladder infections whenever I over pushed myself- I do this quiet a lot. Recently, when I've had to push myself beyond normal duty- I'm in the middle of a move- lifting tons of weight, worry, stress, ect. But all of a sudden, about 6 weeks ago, my water intake went from 30-35 cups a day and I'm cold all the time. I weigh 167, and am 5 '6 inches, 20 years old- I just lost 50 lbs, and kinda fast (I wonder if this is also part of it, because in the past it was always really hard for me to loose weight.) This past week, I've gotten a little bit of brown stuff in my urin whenever I go the bathroom. If I don't drink enough water, I get sluggish, my kidneys really hurt, and I get really really thirsty, and my bowl movements are as if I drank nothing (and I NEVER have had problems in the past with this.) I'm not on insurance, but I need to know- is something really wrong?

My family is going to our cabin this weekend, and we always have a few drinks. My mom is a borderline diabetic, so she can't drink most drinks. I don't like seeing her left out, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any drinks that she would still be able to have that wouldn't affect her blood-sugar too much???

My grandfather has bladder cancer, and he is now having trouble swallowing. He won't go to the doctor (he is not receiving medical treatment), so I can't ask the doctor. My best guess would be that his lymph nodes are swollen and are acting almost like an imposing structure on his trachea... but that's just a guess. Does anyone know why he might be having difficulty swallowing?

Thank you very much! I'll pick a best answer TODAY!
