I was a breach baby, in fact, I was in the womb sideways. And rather than do a C-section, my FAMILY doctor delivered me naturally. Think he must have just yanked the hell out me because i was born with a compound fracture of the right arm and a black eye. But it gets better. They couldn't get me to breath for six minutes and it screwed up my pituitary gland in my brain. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone and tells all the other glands what to do. As a result, I am short (5'5"), and I have to take both oral and injected steriods for the rest of my life (plus Thyroid meds). All this could have been prevented by a C-cection.
Didn't they know how to do them in 1953? Or were very few done or what?

Around 6 months ago I went on a Caribbean holiday and slapped on lots of tanning lotion, factor 30 to stop myself burning. I put the lotion on all round my face but "avoided the eye area" as suggested on the bottle, and ended up with burnt eyes! At the time it was funny to have to rings round my eyes but now, because the skin is so sensitive, it turns pink and stands out whenever my face gets hot or whenever the blood rushes to my skin, and it looks rank! It doesn't hurt, it just changes colour and feels warm. The sunburn wasn't great but it didn't blister or anything like that.

So my question is- how can I restore this skin to its natural state and get my eyes looking even with my face again? Is there anything medical/herbal that I can do to soothe it back to normal?

To clairfy I don't have fair skin and I don't burn easily or often. Thanks!

what is a good stomach treatment liner, i hate MILK, yuck, although not so bad with a milkshake mixer but is there anything else that makes a good stomach liner - something that you can eat or drink that coats your stomach lining and helps it barrier itself against irritants like alcolhol, curries and painkillers, lol

i have been smoking for now 8 years or so, and also I am still very young (25) I smoke 20 cigarettes a day. Last January, I decided, a many do for new years resolutions, to stop smoking. I took the patch and made my partner do the same. It work!! I stopped smoking for around 4 months, having sometimes the odd ciggie when I was out for a drink. But apart from that, I really did very well, and so did he. Anyway, life changed and we broke up, which made us both start smoking again. I went back on my 20 a day, felt like a walking ashtray and so on. Now, since begining of October, I really decided, to stop again and put my faith into patches, as they worked before. The thing is that this time, they are not as good. Or I am not as good. i live on my own so don't have the "competition" thing anymore, I sometimes smoke out of boredom, and "treat" myself to a cigarette one too often. I am thinking about ZYBAN, but i am quite wary as it acts on the brain. What do you advice?

I'm in deep trouble. You see, I have a drug test this Monday and right now it's Thursday where I live. I made a promise to myself that I would not smoke until after my drug test. Now, my buddies went to smoke and I went along with them just to watch and get myself excited so I could smoke a lot when my drug test is over. There's one problem. I INHALED THE SMOKE FROM THE MARIJUANA. Is that bad? Does it stay in your urine? I have about 4 days to clear my system if this does get THC in your body.

And for anyobody that's just going to say "OH. JUST DRINK LOTS OF WATER IT HELPS TRUST ME LOL." Don't even bother. It doesn't, and it's been proven. All it does is dilute the unrine so it's pure white and nothing can be detected in it. Therefore, you have to retake the test, delaying my smoking even more.

So my question is: does THC stay in your body the same length of time it would if you inhaled it through your nose rather than if you inhaled it through your mouth and actually smoked it?

We're all aware that the flu virus can lead to complications like upper respiratory problems like pneumonia, and you can die from it. But can the virus kill you by itself, without contracting complications?

For the entire month of September and into October, I experienced Anxiety on almost a daily basis, and panic attacks about 3-4 times per week. Prior to taking my Blood Pressure, I freaked out, my heart was racing, and I was really nervous. My Blood pressure read 165/86. Does a panic attack/anxiety increase or distort the Blood Pressure reading? Other than anxiety, I'm pretty healthy. I don't eat meat, only fish. And I'm not really overweight (10-15 lbs at the most), and I've never had a history of High Blood Pressure. Every time before the month of september, my blood pressure was normal. Is it reading high because I freak out and panic now when I take a blood pressure reading? By how many points can freaking out and panicking raise the reading?

I am not a heavy drinker and I only drink on occasions. Last night I had one Smernoff (spelling?) and shortly after my stomach hurt along with my chest. It also felt like I had somethign stuck in my throat. I drank the drink faster than usual. Could that have caused my stomach and chest pain? I woke up with the same feeling. It's not as bad but it is still there. Any suggestions? THanks!
