why isnt this discrimmination under the civil rights act, singling out one group for mistreatment, why are our politicians to gutless to file suit on these grounds against the fda and accuse them of civil rights discrimmination under color of law and using the rico statute to ask for crimminal penalties for conms[piracy to protect the people commiting the discrimmination.

I got into a motorcycle accident a little over 5 months and have some pretty bad road rash scars. Are there any techniques or products to reduce the look of my road rash scars.

When hubby started going blind the first thing doc says is take vit B12 at least until we find reason. Then I have prob (cubital tunnel syndrome) and surgeon asks me if other doc had me try vit B12. I am thinking B12 must help with the health of nerves. Can anyone tell me what this is? My assumption is that a deficiency of B12 can lead to nerve atrophy but I don`t understand the relationship. Please respond.

I'm 19 years old and I've waited and prepared a long time for this. I'm being responsible and I'm using depo provera, along with a condom, that needless to say, numbed both me and my partner 'causing him to go limp in like 15 minutes. I love my partner to death and he loves me. But anyways, with each thrust, and he was goin' slow, it hurt REALLY bad. I was on my period. So there wasn't any foreplay, but the condom was lubricated. I was producing some lubrication, but apparently not enough. And to answer the main question, my partner isn't huge. So, that couldn't be the problem. I am though, 4'10.2. Could I be smaller down in that area and that cause this problem? Is this pain normal? Will it be like this next time?

My nephew was shut in the thigh by police during a civil protest. A doctor trated his wound and closed the bullet wound, leaving the bullet inside the thigh. He said the bullet will eventually come out without further intervention and my nephew will be fine.

I have a really bad nail biting problem. I just can't stop. It's been worse for the past few years. I bite them down to nubs. My thumbs are the WORST! I already know about the gross nail polish, but I heard it doesn't really work on severe nail biters. Do you guys have ANY suggestions?

Please help - my mom has torn cartilage on the inside of in her knees and really bad arthritis. Would that cause both her legs to swell? I have been working in orthopaedics for years, but I just don't know this one. Her blood pressure medicine may be causing it, but the orthopaedic doctor didn't think so. Any suggestions?

I really want contacts, but I can't touch my eye. It feels so awkward. I think my eyes are just really sensitive, because they are also really sensitive to sunlight.
What can I do to make it more comfortable so I can get contacts?

Also, I'm dreading the exam. Is the exam bad if you have sensitive eyes?

Now it is bruising in the middle part that bends and it is swollen but I can still bend it but not all the way into a fist. It also hurts really bad to touch it or when something touches it. What should I do? I have football tryouts tommorrow and I dont know if I should just tape them and try or not risk hurting it more? Please help!

I eat..semi healthy. I'm not a health nut but I don't eat ALL junk ALL the time either. Usually 2-3 meals a day and I do exercise everyday, not enough to get me totally worn out but I still exercise. And then at night I can't fall asleep till at least 3 in the morning...which is definitely not good since I have to wake up at around 6. Any sleeping tips? Or something that I should ask my doctor about? Also, when I have someone else in the room or in the same bed it's a lot easier to fall asleep.
