its been 2 weeks since the open surgery on my appendicitis, so, how much longer would i be able to do sit ups and push ups, coz my abs is really turning in to flabs, and i lost a lot of weight already...maybe because my muscle weight turned to fat weight already... i really need help, i dont want an odd shape body before September... coz that would be the day my crush would arrive, and ive been doing situps for 3months now... btw, the doctor said, no gym, b.ball, strenuous sports for 3 months.. :)


****another follow up question... could i still work on my arms and chest? :)

My son reacts very badly to food additives, particularly preservatives. All the syrup type medications I have found so far have preservatives in them, and most have flavours and colours as well.

He can take tablets, so I can give him a tablet of panadol for headaches/fever etc, and he likes to drink teas so sometimes I'll give him peppermint tea if he has a sore tummy, but is there anyone that knows of things that are less full of junk but would help with other symptoms such as blocked noses, sore throats, upset stomachs, etc? I've also tried vicks vapor rub, and that helps but he doesn't like it for some reason, so it would be good to have a different option, too!

Thanks!

I am a 21 y/o female with a weak bladder. I keep having to get up frequently to pee during the day and night, usually every 15-30 minutes.

Well last week I couldn't hold it and wound up wetting myself TWICE. Yes twice! I couldn't get up in time and ended up wetting my chair, the floor and my clothes. I grabbed 2 towels and tried to soak up the mess off the carpet as much as possible. Then I showered and changed. Then not even half an hour after my first accident, it happened again! My damn bladder filled so fast and emptied again before I had a chance to get to the bathroom. So I had to scrub the carpet and change and shower AGAIN.

You might be thinking I did this out of laziness. I definetly did not. My bladder contracted on me before I could move. The next morning my husband questioned me about the wet carpet and chair. I lied and said I spilled something. I know I should have owned up to it but I was embarrassed. Should I see a doctor about this? I don't want this to happen again

I often get a piecing sharp pain in one of either of my ears that only lasts for about a second at a time - sometimes I get a short ringing whistling sound (like the sound of a tuning fork)that comes after it - could it be an infection developing?

ok i think my guy friend has a foot/shoe fetish. the reason why i think that is because he really likes to play truth or dare which is fine but alot of his dares are "i dare you to take my shoes off" or "i dare you to let me put my shoes on you" or "i dare you to put your shoes on me" so what do you think does he have a foot/shoe fetish?

Why can't gay men donate blood? Straight men and women, bisexual men and women and lesbian women can all get HIV/AIDS also. It makes no sense to single out gay men any more. Besides all that, the screening is so good that any contaminated blood is discarded anyway. So why the discrimination?

Im just curious, because they say with excess bilirubin your skin/eyes take on a yellow tint, so is that what makes your pee yellow?

I have a BMI of 17.6... && am 14 years old. You can count all of my ribs from the front && all but two of my ribs if you look at my back. I can wrap my hand (my little finger to index finger) around my arm almost up to my elbow. I dance & do gymnastics & am just active almost all the time. Do you think I'm too skinny?

Whenever I talk, I stutter. I mean, when I was little, I used to stutter more, but I still stutter, a lot. What can I do? Its not like, I'm talking to fast, or I'm afraid or something... it's just that...I stutter.
Also, there are so many people who can talk so fast and just keep talking. Like, Miley Cyrus for example. I can talk fast, it's just that in the middle of my speech, I fumble over words. How can I speak more fluently?

A friend took a close up photo of me with the flash and in it I look really pale because of the bright light but with yellow circles under my eyes. Does anyone know why this is? Do I have a build up of toxins or is it a sign of lack of sleep or something?

I was looking at a story I wrote a few years ago, and ran into one of my characters.

He was the main character's uncle. He looked, sounded (voice-wise) and dressed like a woman, but was, and acted like, a man.

No, seriously. He was male (had a Y chromosome and a penis), and was straight, but had a pretty face, an hourglassy body and breasts all his life (it was a condition he was born with.)

While I'm still rubbing my temples from thinking about what I must have been smoking to create characters like these, what's the best way to term something like this?
