i am a 15 y/o boy, but i just turned 15 couple weeks ago so just class me as a 14 y/o person. i am 6.2 ft and am 190 pounds. im tall for my age. all my friends and other boys at school r 5.8 max!!! but they also weigh about 140 pounds. why do i weigh so much more when im not fat in anyway. 4 inches does NOT make 50 more pounds. i asked my dad and her said that the reason i weigh so much more is that im so big for my age. he said that there are two types of ppl slinder like baseball players and the more round shape ( not meaning fat ) like wat football players have. he said i am tall both ways ( up and down + side to side )


my question is, is my dad right about me? wat is the normal weight or somone 6.2 ft? wat is my problem or is there one? please help?

and again i'm not fat. if i did some serious workign out i could only loose like 5 pounds.

Can you please tell me if broken capillaries can be reversed I have a few on my leg where my office chair rubbed me - I no longer use that chair.

Can you also tell me if broken capillaries and varicose veins (mine are only near the surface not protruding the skin surface) have anything to do with weight, alcohol consupmtion and smoking I dont do these latter two to excess, just wondering if it contributes.

I put on alot of weight thanks to SSRI (I have thrown them away thanks to researching natural therapies and also amino acid and the brain research :D ) ...I have lost 10 kgs but need to lose another 30 or so kg's, can u tell me about these things in reference to varicose veins and broken capillaries and the reversal of?
Thanks,
All the best :)

I'm 17. I have tried the typical topical treatments for acne (proactive, and other creams) and oral antibiotics (monocycline, solodyn). Nothing really seems to work... and my acne leaves behind little red scars (without depth). I don't think I have a SEVERE case of acne but would definetely like to get rid of it. Does anyone know about acutain/acutane? has taken it? if so please share some info about it or any other treatments that have worked for you.

Our health insurance provider requires a medical exam, blood sample and urinalysis. I assume part of the purpose of the screening is to check for THC and other goodies. Is this correct?

I've had dark yellow urine for probably a couple weeks now, and haven't had a normal bowel movement in a while. I've been trying to drink enough water but it seems like even when I drink a lot it doesn't help. Also I've been having pain on my right side, kind of where the kidneys are, so I don't know what it is anymore and I don't want to go to the doctor because I feel like I go too often. Anyone got any ideas?

I always seem to start getting a very dry throat at about the exact same time each school day! During social studies class, my throat always starts drying in the start of class, itching in the middle, and I always start coughing at the end.

I have tried getting drinks before class starts. The drinking fountain is too far away, so I can't go during class. Also, water doesn't even help. My throat dries up all the same.

I feel really embarrased when I cough because usually everyone else is quiet and starts staring at me. I can't suck candy in class!

What are some ways I can STOP COUGHING once and for all?!

p.s. This never happens in any other class. Why?

My son ate the peanutbutter with the code 2111 and got very sick. My husband had to take 3 days off work. My son's temapture was at 105 degrees. I called my mom and asked her what to do because I thought he was going to die. I've called Conagra foods and they won't do anything to help pay for the doctor bills. How can I report them for not responding to my case?
