I am addicted to putting ice in my mouth and swallowing it. It's a very extreme habit, I do it at school, when I get my break at work, at home, etc. I just buy a soda, throw the liquid away and start 'eating' the ice. I even fill a cup with ice before I go to bed, take the ice cubes and just pop them into my mouth. Everyday, I ingest soooo much ice, I need to know if this is harmful. Thank you.

I don't know if a national health system or gov't subsidized insurance is the answer, but health care costs are insane! I need health insurance, and it is going to cost me almost $200 a month!!! There are cheaper ones, but the co-pays are so high, I may as well not buy those. I'm 25 and a non-smoker, it should not cost that much. Why does it cost $10000 to fix a broken arm? Ridiculous.

Hi,

I recently signed up for Kaiser through my employer. I'm in California. I've been uninsured for three years before this. I have a couple of issues that could be considered "pre-existing conditions."

If I go to the doctor to get something treated, and they think its a pre-existing condition, what will happen?

Will they treat it, give me surgery, and then send me a bill?

Will they tell me I'm screwed and refuse to even treat me? Can they, under the law, refuse to treat me, if I'm not on their plan?

Can I sign up for a higher rate? How much higher would it be from the $265 a month I'm pay in individual costs right now (my employer has a group policy, but does not kick in anything)

How likely is it that they will even check to see if it is a pre-existing condition, especially if I tell my doctor it started bothering me weeks into my new coverage?

Please help, I really don't know what to do. I need some advice.

I have an anger problem from what some people tell me. I never noticed it and people in my workplace haven't notice it either but some of my closer friends tell me that I have a lot of anger and that they are scared of me. I don't like that thought one bit because I don't feel like i am angery all the time. so What can i do to get rid of some anger? I have been to anger management when i was younger but I guess that didn't work..

My daughter, temporarily nicknamed RhinestoneGirl96 (her screen name) was talking to her best friends, lets call her GlitterxyShine, and I heard RhinestoneGirl96 telling GlitterxyShine that she felt like she wasn't worth anything to anybody. RhinestoneGirl also said she thought she was out of place in the world and her mother (me) was embarrassing her by using teen slang when I was just trying to soudn like her so she would be more open to me. She also said she criied every night for hours and never felt useful. She said she wanted to die.

Then she said she was going to attempt suicide.
What should I do?? She'd get mad at me if I burst into her room and she'd know I was eavesdropping and that would cause her to get more angry. What should I do to stop RhinestoneGirl, from suicide without getting her more angry? She is my daughter and I love her and I'm clueless. She says I'm a bad mother but I still love her. What should I do?

I recently came down with a major head cold, sinus pressure, runny nose, the whole nine yards feeling like crap basically. My gf wanted us to have sex that next day I came down with it, needless to say I wasnt gonna turn her down but my problem wasnt the foreplay and all, it was getting it up. We tried and tried but I just couldnt seem to get to that point. Does anyone know if certain medication, like Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride, those decongestion over the counter pills, or even just being sick in general, effect something like this, can it? This is the first time its ever happened, so im thinking its being sick related.

My stepmom called me tonight in tears. She said my Dad was not feeling well and he needed an ambulance but he refused to let her call. I went over there, and he was slumped on the table. She was holding an icepack on his neck. He was sweating profusely, shaking, and all he kept saying was "I just need to go to sleep"... We took his blood pressure and it was 59/35. We took him to the ER, and I had to leave because I had my very cranky and tired 2 year old with me. This was hours ago, and my stepmom said they still haven't said anything about what could be wrong. They are going to do x-rays, catscans, and all kinds of other tests. Are there any doctors or nurses that can clue me in? I'm so worried, my stomach is turning. I'm not ready to loose my dad.
