Dr says I have chronic pain - I don't doubt it considering it has been going on for about 15 years.. But I'm only 22, I've never been in any accident that would explain my pain.. And I've hardly heard of any one having it in their legs - both legs from hips to toes.. Dr didn't give me much of an explanation.. Just looking for more info, every website I pull up says the same dumb stuff... Any additional info would be helpful..

I'm really having a hard time dealing with it, I have days where it's so bad I can hardly make it up the stairs or get on the floor to play with my kid.. It seems as though it's getting worse as I get older.. Just need some way to deal with it.

I am 13 years old and my names Dessarey.
I wanted to look like my friend so I started to pull my eyelids down all the way down to my eyelashes and keep them that way everyday for three months, finally I stopped. Now I just want to look myself. My mom says it would go back to normal in time, but I just feel so sad I did it, and I do want my normal eyelids back, because I created a few creases during the process.(Will the creases I created disapear??) I am a idiot and seeking help, and asking, will they really go back to there normal place in time? I am really ugly. So in some ways it doesn't matter but now I just want to look myself and learn not to be someone I am not, even the ones I admire the most. I feel so horrible I did it. What am I asking?: Will they ever go back to how they were before? (Used to look hispanic, now look asian and alittle wrinkled)

What happens? How does is happen (most often)? What are the effects? On a scale of 1-10, ten being permanent, noticeable damage, how will it affect your athletic performance? How can you make sure that it doesn't happen, or avoid it?

I live in area where it snows in winter and we heat house to keep it warm. When I get up in morning nose feels very dry, so we have to use humidifier to keep that problem away. ( I keep house temperature at 70 degree F). But I am wondering why noses wont dry up when its summer ( and we do not use humidifiers ) and temperatures are anyway more than 70 degree F. If humidity is less inside house in winter, why is it so? why only in winter and not in summer. If humidity decreases inside house because we keep windows closed in winter, I would like to know why that also happens as any humidity inside should stay inside if windows are closed.

I believe that if I got wasted in a couple of hours that tomorrow my head wont hurt anymore. I never get hangovers, so hopefully my head wont hurt still. Is this a good idea?
