When i first started smoking marijuana i used to get a buzz out of it. But now when i smoke it i dont get that, instead i think about the past alot and it makes me feel very emotional. are these one of the long term effects?

I'm thinking of getting an iron supplement. I'm 16 and I think I may be deficient because I've had cases recently where I'd feel dizzy after exercising (although not anymore currently) and also I have dark circles under my eyes and I just think I'm not getting enough iron for my age. But I've read that it is easy to overdose on iron. How much % DV can make you overdose?

About 1 1/2 years ago I did something to my thigh. I'm not even sure what I did to it exactly. But basically, it is still not better. I'm a dancer, so stretch is very important, but it's like my left hamstring will not stretch at all. I've gotten an MRI and thay couldn't find anything. The pain is really really bad. I take excedrin and it sometimes helps, but never completely relieves the pain. My parents think I'm just doing it for the attention, so they won't take me back to the doctor or anything

Is it not just the fact that as we get older our brain becomes jam packed with stuff over the years, and there is no room for new stuff, hence memory loss. What we really need in our brain today is a delete mechanism to get rid of the stuff that is cloging up our minds. It strikes me that evolution is at a standstill.

I took two paracetamols at 11am this morning, and am going to a party at around 8pm, and it's likely that I'll get very drunk.

Is this dangerous, or is 9hours an ok time since taking paracetamol to drinking?

yea this was a long time ago..back in freshman year of highschool i was walking off the football field from practice when a scrimmage next to me go out of control and two ppl ran off the feild. they were both HUGE. one hit me head on and the other hit me from behind. i did something to my knee but it was the worst pain in my life. all the trainer said was put ice on it and i never went to the doctor. few days it hurt than went away. but every winter it had gotten sore and stiff. and i started weightlifting on my lower body and now my knee is killing me. its 6 years later. did i stretch a muscle or what? thanks! ya..i know its late to be asking this haha.

I am swimming at a pool without warming up before swimming. Coz I'm a beginner swimmer, i am excited. I challenges my friends to compete swimming back and forth many times. Suddenly, i scream as my right calf muscle stiffen and very painful. The pool guard lifts her immediately from the pool then stretches my right cramped calf muscle...

Tell me, what is this disease?

the longer, the better.

thnx

Have a bout with runner's knee, I think. That or tendinitis. Either way, I want to keep up with my aerobic activities and continue cycling. Will cycling aggravate the injury? I ask this because the slight rubbing sound when I bend the knee sounds like something is grinding. I don't want to ground down what is in there by repetative motion.

I don't have health insurance and I have a damaged siatic nerve (nerve that is in the lower back and extends down the legs) that causes me severe pain to walk. I was wondering around how much would a visit/treatment cost?

Any information you can give go for it.

Ok so this girl that I work with is going into surgery after work today. She stated “that they are running a lot of test…. And I may need my kidney out. But I will be back to work on Monday no matter what.” First of all having your kidney out is something kind of major is it not?? So it is possible to get a kidney taken out on Friday and be well enough to be back to work on Monday??? I know this is a really stupid question but someone had the nerve to tell me at work… Now I want to know the truth!!
