Most people don't eat enough fish. I've heard that we should include fish in our meal at least one per week to see health benefits. I don't eat much fish--not even once per week--but what if I take a fish oil supplement once per week. Will I see benefits?

I really don't want to have to take a daily dose of supplements.

Any knowledge or experience with this would be helpful,

But, it's been told to me that my medication isn't causing this. This morning I was out and about and my entire body started shaking, I couldn't even write a check out. As soon as I popped to chocolate truffles after about five minutes I felt a bit better,and my tremors on my right side decreased back to normal. Just curious if this may be a diabetic problem? I have been tested and they come up with nothing.

I have holes in my tonsils, some are quite large and some appear blister like (even though they're not blisters). I find it hard to swallow sometimes, but I don't have any throat pain at the moment.

I've read a lot about this and many people seem to get 'tonsil stones'. I don't (and have never) experienced that.

Why do I have holes in my tonsils? Will this warrant having them removed?

Why is it that people ask tons of medical questions on here that could be easily answered by calling their doctors? It would take less time and one would receive a better answer. Experiences are one thing... but asking "what is it?" is something else.

I am 20 years old, and have always had a very large chest. I can't ever find any shirts to wear and When ever I am in public, that's all i think about. The rest of my body is fairly slim/athletic build. Has anyone had the surgery, and can you give me any advice on it>?

I had some discomfort with one of my testicles and so my doctor prescibed me an antibiotic "in case" there might be an infection. I don't have the discomfort anymore. I haven't began taking the antibiotic. I'm worried about taking it for no reason. What if one day I really do need an antibiotic to work, yet at that point it will no longer work in my body.

I was two months pregnant about to turn 3 months. I visited the local emergency room because I was not able to keep any food or liquid in my stomach for about 2 days. The emergency room put me on I.V. gave me nasuea medication and sent me home. They told me they were gonna do an Ultrasound but never did. Two days later I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, my child was growing in my phelopian tube. My baby got so big that my tube burst. I almost bled to death. I lost my ovary and phelopian tube. Plus have a scar for the rest of my life. I am 16 years old turning 17. i cared about my kid i was in the hospital for 5 days i almost died if they would of gave me and ultrasound i would of never lost an ovary i would of never had to spend 5 days in the hospital if they would of just looked i still would of lost my kid regardless and i wouldnt of had to go through all the pain im going through i had to get 5 bags of blood pumped into me.i didnt have no pulse i couldnt breath on my own i was practicly dieing. i would of never been through all of this if they gave me the ultrasound like they said they would i told them i couldnt hold food down and i got alot of cramps. and please dont judge me for my age because people do make mistakes nobody in the world is perfect

Last July I had the bottom of my navel pierced. Initially the piercing was healing fine. (I was cleaning with anti-bacterial soap and spraying sea salt on it about 3 times a day) I was a cheerleader for my college so in September my coach told me I could only have the piercing in if I switched the barbell to a clear, plastic one. I knew I wasn't supposed to change the piercing for at least 6 months but after I noticed I had no problem changing it the first couple of times, I foolishly kept switching it. Eventually when I went to change it, it would bleed a lot and I would have trouble getting the jewelry back in. I developed raw scar tissue that seemed to "ooze out" from my piercing. It was quite painful and I went to a professional piercer to find out what was going on. He said it was just irritated, not infected and he urged me not to change my piercing any more. Soon after, I quit the cheerleading team for various reasons and stopped changing the piercing. (continued below)

Here's the thing, I freak out when I see ants in my home and if I see even one ANYWHERE, I constantly look at the same spot over and over and over again just to see if there are any ants. I'll even do it so much that it kinda makes me crazy. I know, it sounds silly eh'? I think I might have ant nest(s) under my house because I keep everything in my home spick and span mostly the outsides too.

I am unable to remember movies (sometimes details other times most of the movie!), how about you?

Is there a reason I cannot keep a record of movies watched?
