Ok, i am seriously self conscious about my sweating and smell. I wear deoderant/antipersprant (whatever) every day. it's hard to find kinds that work, i usually have to use the gel kinds, dry doesnt work. And even if i do find a kind that works for a while, i seem to get immune to it and it stops working!! it really makes me self conscious all the time...i have tried mitchum for woman and so many others....has anyone ever gotten really good prescription deoderant??

I got sick a few weeks ago. They never really determined what I had, some sort of viral infection. They gave me medicine, and it got better, but now I'm having the same symptoms again.

My symptoms include:

[ off and on ]

[x]numbness/tingling in hands/feet/face
[x]pure exhauston
[x]headache
[x]weak
[x]light-headed
[x]dizziness

I've been eating like a normal person. I've checked my blood sugar and it's fine. Usually, when I eat, I don't feel as tired, but the numbness/tingling countinues. It's not constant exhaustion, but it's happening more often than not. I've been going to bed at 11 and getting up at 6.

Any advice?

I plan on going to the doctor sometime this week.
I usually go to CareNow, so I have to find a doctor.


they checked me for mono, twice. both times, test showed negative

Wondering if there are any disabled mothers out there, what adaptions do you have. Did you run into any hateful, doubtful people as you were pregnant? What happened and what was your response.

I walk with leg braces and a very odd gait. I have not been approached by anyone at any time (my mother was shocked but not always supportive anyways), but ready for anyone who dares to have anything to say to my face. I am the proud mother of a beautiful 10 month old daughter. And BTW my mother is very proud of her granddaughter!!

My boyfriend broke up with me, i'm in university. I was homesick during first year and barely ate anything. Now second year, still homesick and boyfriend broke up with me. I can't eat a thing. I feel really weak, and i've lost weight very fast. I'm 19 and weigh 87 pounds. I'm normally 115. I am 5'2 female. I don't like to be super skinny. I'm just stressed. I love food, but now it disgusts me. I lost like 10 pounds in half a week. I was never like this before until university. I think that this how i'm dealing with my stress, but i don't want it to be that way because it's affecting school, appearance, health, everything. I just don't know what to do.

I was diagnosed with borderline hypertension 3 years ago. Now, my BP has returned to completely normal levels. I never noticed any symptoms anyway. But it just seems weird to me that 2 years ago, it was nothing for me to do a reading and get 147/92 and now I can get 118/68 even if I am pissed off angry at everything and fresh inside from running outdoors. High blood pressure does run in my family, but I am in shape, 5'11 and 135 lbs. Plus, I eat a very healthy diet...I haven't changed anything much in these 3 years. Why did I have it then as a 23 year old and it has slowly went away? What causes this to occur? My doctor offers no real explanation.
