I am 20 male. We have a microwave which I do not use at all. However others use it and I cannot get rid of it which I would like. Can it still affect me? which other electronics should I keep away from?

I woke up a couple of days ago and my neck was stone cold as it was freezing outside. Since then I have had a lot of phlem and a pickly sensation in my throat. It is the same feeling I get in summer sometimes when I discover my summer cold is infact hay fever.......anyone else had this ? Can I still exercise with this ? Is there a solution ?

Look forward to your answers

my mom and i have both noticed that im eating more and more lately but i don't seem to be any heavier, instead it seems that on the scale i am lighter.
i heard that this is a symptom of diabetes..no one in my family has it, but my dad has a high blood sugar level...

also, right now, im living in an area where its not that easy to contact a doctor, so could someone tell me some more symptoms and signs to watch out for in case i do have diabetes? is there anything you can do about it without going to the doctor?
o gawd...i better not have diabetes

I've not been sexually active for over a year now and the first time being active again, I started bleeding. Is it normal, what could some causes be?

I was reading about Chernobyl and the fire fighters who first contained the flames in the reactor. What are the effects of radiation exposure to an exposed core like they were exposed to? What happens to the body under EXTREME radiation. On a macro and micro level.

I've been on Nexium for 1 month now for treatment of GERD, and over the course of that month, I gained 5 pounds. I am 5'3" and went from 104 pounds to 109 pounds... big frigging deal. However, I did mention it to my GI doctor just to let him/her (whatever it is ... it's a f u c k i n g transvestite/d y k e) know what was going on...... S/he said that Nexium could NEVER cause weight gain (lmao, s/he needs to check again... it is one of the most common side effects), and said that I NEED TO GO TO THE OBESITY CLINIC?!!?! Are you kidding me?!!?! I'm borderline UNDERWEIGHT!!!!!!!

What would you do if this were you? I already told him/her to go f u c k itself, but I'm not sure what else to do. S/he won't listen to anything I say and keeps insisting that I have an upper endoscopy (even though I already had an upper GI that was 100% normal aside from the reflux that they could see happening during the test), or she will "tell on me" to my primary care doctor!!! What do I do?!?!?

A week and a half ago I was home sick for 3 days. I had headaches, muscle pains and I just didn't feel right. A few days later I started coughing alot, I am still coughing! It's a terrible cough, I don't know whether to think it's a cold or something more serious. The only thing that makes me think it isn't a cold it that there is like no mucus to cough up, it's just a dry cough and an all day sort of cough, it gets worse at night when I lay down or when I laugh. Any suggestions as to what it might be?

I just asked this but I can't see it anywhere. So I may have taken 10 to 12 Extra Strength Tylenol Tablets. On the bottle it said not to take more than 8 a day which I think I may have. I heard the words liver, failure, and death a lot when I looked at the overdose symptoms. I'm 17-5'6- and 119 lbs. I've read that those count towards the overdose amount. My parents are skeptic on me dying, but I'm freaking out. Money is an issue and they aren't bad parents but I'm drinking a lot of water and I've tried throwing up the last two pills I had taken.(I wasn't very successful, I looked up the way to induce vomiting properly if that sounds weird.

I think I have it.. Well maybe I don't but I blush sooo much. When guys talk to me or even look at me I blush. When teachers call on me in class, I blush. When I talk to people I don't know, I blush. When I'm around a lot of people, my face turns bright red. Haha I think you get the point. I blush all the time, and then my face is red for the rest of the day. It sucks and it ruins my life! I am very shy and self conscious because of it. I have heard this could be an actual disease, but I'm not sure. Do you have any cures?? I tell my mom but she always says "oh its not that bad" and stuff like that. And my doctor does too. But is there something I can take for my blushing to go away? Or just get better? Would it be better to talk to my doctor or dermatologist?? Please help. This SUCKS.

I recently had to have two units (I assume that is a pint?) of blood. That was 3 weeks ago and I still get tired very easily after little exertion. How long will it take me to recover from this and feel good again?
