On a scale of 1-10, ten being hell and 1 being painless, how much do belly button piercings hurt?


Answer:
around an 8, but it's over quick.
i have to say about a 7 or 8. it takes a while to heal if you dont clean it the way your suppose to, but other than that, its cool. whatever you do, dont take the ring out. OUCH!
id have to say an 8... It burned like fire for about the first couple of hours, but i put some ice on it and then it didnt really hurt anymore...
Ok basically for me I didn't really feel that much, and it's not so much pain either it's more of a 'oh I can feel the needle' kind of thing haha!! Seriously go for it! It's over pretty quick too, only around 10 seconds and after that it's just a little throbbing but nothing insanely painful!
It's funny too because after a while when you're walking around you feel like you don't want to stand up straight so not to rip it out!! Everyone seems to do this, I took all my mates to get theres done and they were all crouching around thinking they couldn't stand properly cause of the pain... I actually couldn't stop laughing at them!

On a scale of 1-10, how do you rate your mental health (how satisfied, calm, happy and energetic you feel?)?

Why not higher on the scale? What would make you feel better?
Answer:
9- I'm very happy with my life decisions and God as my light I have nothing to fear.My boyfriend lives in another state so as soon as he moves here my life will be a 10.
I'm a 9.

I'm a Mother.otherwise my mental health would be a 10.
.I am not a perfect person but I am satisfied with myself .I set reasonable goals and when I achieve them I move a step at a time.
I can openly say I am happy and energetic.
My achievements are all 10 because as I mentioned before I set reasonable goals .
The thing that will may me feel better is simple do not compare me with anyone else.
I'm about an 8 and thats because i take an antidepressant. If I wasnt taking an antidepressant I would say i am about a 4-5. At this point what would in my life, being able to have a baby would make me feel better. I've been trying to concieve for over 2 years.
At ANSWERS Level 5 I'm '5x5'. I'm good to go. The weather
keeps me inside. My recently serviced TW200-B has 23K+
miles and I reside between an active volcano and an island filled sea so I've got places to go. To make me feel better,
see the orange camo' 2006 Gear-Up Model Owners Manual download, off www.imz-ural.com
1. I have severe depression as for what would make me feel better..I'll let you know when i figure it out.
i would rate myself 5 at the moment. I have so many problems! and im turning 21 in 2 weeks time!
I LOVE ME. JESUS LOVES ME. I'M ON THE INFINITY SCALE.
10! i have no kind of nervous obsession with pressing the n key!



nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...

On a cold day is it possible to see a fart ... like you can see your exhaled breath.?


Answer:
Wow, I wonder what ever would make a person even think up something like this? I don't think that is possible however.

Maybe you could hold a mirror behind you the next time there is a freezing temperature and let one rip and see what is the result.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
i dunno, my *** is behind me. I never thought of it. I think you should find better things to do.
Dear heavens. Could you not have thought up a dumber question than this? Answer that one.
I guess.If u LIKE walking aroundwith your cheeks in the cold.
lmfao gooood question------
ok put urself in the deep freezer and see!

OMG. Having a Blood Test in 2 hours. PETRIFIED PLZ HELP. I'M 14?

OMGGG

Mum's taking me for a Blood Test in 2 hours time

I don't wanna go coz i hate needles soooooo much

She's gonna force me to go - But i don't wanna go
SHE CAN'T FORCE ME CAN SHE ?

HELP. I'm sooo scared of needles %26 feeling very sick

I'm being tested for Anemia
Answer:
I know exactly how you feel. I am absolutely petrified of needles too (and im 21 lol).
Make sure you have plenty of sugar in your system before, it helps with the light headedness and lowers your chances of passing out. Also- DONT LOOK AT THE NEEDLE!
when they do it, close your eyes and tell them not to warn you. that helps me.
good luck
how old are you?
it'll only last about 5 seconds. just don't look.
Well, first of all 14 is a little old to still be freaking out about needles, but it's not unheard of. Just tell the lab tech you are scared and they will help you.

Yes, since you are under 18 your mom can force you to go.

If you have anemia, you need to know now since it can be fatal.

Good luck!
Sing your favorite song and dont look. I like to sing"and i come from alabama with a banjo on my knee..."
Yes she can make you. you are under 18 so she can make you do pretty much anything. If you are sick you need to get this done. It's not that bad. dont be a drama queen over it. try have 40 needles in your back at once for allergy testing then have 20 in each arm. again, if you are sick this needs to be done would you rather die??
listen up g/f!! quitttttttttttt wa wa pissypantsing!!alright? geesh its no big deal..i dont like needles either but theyw ill jsut draw a vial or 2 maybe 3 of blood to test it ..so they can tell how bad your anemia is..now this isnt so bad considering..you could be having a pap smear or a colonoscomy..hahhah so chill...during life we all have to do things we dont like..but its part of growing up...so by the time you read this answer and others ..your blood test will have been done ...so grow up and prepare yourself the res tof your life with all kinds of tests.also..yes your mother can..as long as your underage and still home...hugsss
Yes she can actually because you are 14. Don't worry, its not bad at all. You could ask for the nurse to put some local anesthetic gel on your skin before they take the blood so you don't feel it. It takes about 30mins to work though.
I also hate needles, but this is something you MUST do. I think of it as that and don't look. The people who do this are good and they will be as gentle as they can. It's really not that bad, the key is not to watch. Best of luck and remember you MUST do this, and don't make this difficult for your Mom she is doing what is best for you and she doesn't want to see you go through this either, no does she want you to get sick. It's time to put your big boy/girl pants on and realize you are getting older and to show your Mom how mature you are. Life is full of doing things that are scary, but they have to be done.
your mum can force you to go until you're 18.

and plus, its worth it. with anemia, you wouldn't be able to do many physical activities without becoming short of breath and your muscles hurting, so its better to know if you have it or not.
Elyseholly this statement you made "Make sure you have plenty of sugar in your system before, it helps with the light headedness and lowers your chances of passing out"

is some VERY bad advice. Yes, you are correct in saying it helps w/light headness and chances of passing out BUT if the test she is taking needs to be a fasting test (meaning NOTHING BY MOUTH) she will screw up the lab results on the blood test.
When you go to the lab for the test, tell them that you are frightened of needles, they will help you relax. Sometimes they may have you lie down if you are really scared.

It will only take a few seconds for a blood test and then it will be over.

Take your music with you and listen to it while it is being done . Or eat the popsicle while it is being done. Both work.

Anemia can be serious and you may have to take iron pills and maybe folic acid to treat this. Also drinking vitamin c filled juice or taking vitamin c with the pills will help the iron be absorbed by your body more efficiently.

Good Luck and just try to relax. Have a treat after or something else you like.
Let the phlebotomist (the person who draws blood) know that you are scared. She will understand. If you have good veins in your arm, it will be quick and easy to draw blood. You will only feel a little pin prick - having a paper cut is worse. Don't look at the needle and keep talking while you get this done. It will help to distract you. If you feel a little faint, let the phlebotomist know and she will help you feel better before you leave. This is one of those unpleasant, necessary things you need to do, but it won't take long or hurt more than a second.

Omg, Grr i'm so angry about my height i'm 5"8 at 13 years old... I'd rather be 4"10. How do you get shorter.

Anyone got any ideas on how to get shorter
Answer:
other than drinking caffine and smoking ciggs (i do not reccomend at all) to slow down the growing height. ..
I think you should just accept it. you will appreciate it when you get older and the other kids will catch up too.
You don't.
Unless you want to cut off part of your legs you won't get any shorter. Stand tall and be proud of it, This is not the worst thing that will ever happen to you.
I would be happy to be that tall! You can't and remember as you get older, women like taller men...so your at an advantage already!
Are you joking? TWO ways you can do it ... cut the bottom of yer legs off or wear real long pants so you look super short.
Hang in there, Pal...You are going to grow in height no matter what. I have a grand-niece that was 6 feet tall at 10 years old! She just had to adjust as it was very hard on her, especially being a girl. Good luck. Be proud of yourself. If that's the only problem you have in life, you've got it made!
Don't worry .and just be thankful that you are healthy and well ... and be happy ...
People will catch up! The boys will soon be surpassing your height by a LOT-- AND you're going to be the hot tall girl that everyone wants. All guys want to date a tall girl, it's something in their genes. So chin up, you've got it made!
I understand your anger. It is difficult to accept things we cannot fix. We want a miracle!
It is a sign of maturity and confidence to figure out what can be fixed and what can't. It is part of growing up to learn to accept yourself-some people never do.
My best advice is to figure out how to love what you look like-you ARE all you got-so why hate it?
You are tall, models are tall-you can gain 10 lbs and it won't show. You can carry kids (as in pregnant-someday) without as much discomfort as a 4'10" woman. You can wear clothes without having them altered. You can date really tall, athletic men-and a shorter man has to have a lot of confidence and maturity to date YOU-That is ALL good.
Bear with your body honey-you are growing and changing every day. Eat right, exercise, stay clean-like no drugs etc, and ENJOY the gifts you have!
The most beautiful thing about a woman-or girl-is confidence!Stand up tall, be proud of your genetics (your mom and dad made you tall) and concentrate on fixing things you CAN fix-like making good grades, playing a sport well, learning to do something that you love, like art or theatre or dirt bike racing.
In a few years, you will be thrilled to be tall!
Gratitude for your gifts, forgiveness for your "failings" and figuring out how to use them in the world-that's what make you a grown-up!
Hang in there.
Why would you want to be shorter?...so people can kick your a**?...I'd rather be taller...I'm 5'4"...Unless maybe your like a giant among midgets...lol...then I can understand why. Chances are since you're only 13 you're going to keep getting taller. I say take advantage of that...go into sports, or become a model...they like tall people. Well, take care

OMG what illness do I have?

dear diary,
I binged ate today.I was so depressed that I made myself throw up,but not a whole lot.When I couldnt find anything to eat I started shaking and I began to get impatient.I was so miserable up to now.After I found something to eat I ate a whole lot of it,and like I said I made myself throw up but now a whole lot.After that I was depressed and I was just laying down in my bed looking at mid air and I almost cried.a few weeks ago I almost committed suicide I had went in the medicine drawer and held my dads pill bottle and I almost opened it and put it all in my mouth.I wanted to die so bad I didnt wanna feel all these emotions anymore sadness,anger,and my temper was really low.
Answer:
Is there anyone you can talk to? If you don't maybe a school conselor or nurse or a teacher that you can confide in. There are a lot of people out there that want to help you. Try finding someone you can talk to.in the meantime stay away from the pills! You really don't want to do that. Feelings of sadness, anger do go away in time.
Honey, please seek medical help. Call your doctor and get some help.
its called depression. probably need help.
In all seriousness, please consult a psychiatrist. They can aid with your problems a lot more than anyone on this website can.
Stop it right now and go to a Dr. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE
You have depression complicated with bulimia. PLEASE let your parents or some other responsible adult in your life know. You need medical help.
i'm soo sorry you had to go though this. please see a doctor.
and get to the bottum of this. good luck.
Sounds like you could be bulimic (sp??) %26 it also sounds like you are suffering from depression please seek professional help A.S.A.P
Also check out http://www.coolnurse.com
ur like me its called depression u really dont wana die u just wana escape
I agree with everyone else who answered your question. You do need to seek help. If you do not feel comfortable talking with anyone in person, please call the girls and boys town hotline at 1-800-448-3000. They can help with whatever issues you need to work out in order to be comfortable with seeking the help you need. Know that you are not alone, thousands of people go through these same symptoms and manage to lead normal lives, but only after getting the help that they need. Do not be afraid to let someone help you. Everyone needs a helping hand from time to time, that is why we have two. One to help ourselves and one to help others. Right now, you need to help yourself by accepting the help of someone else. I urge you to call now, they are open 24 hours a day 365 days a year, and are the best listeners you will ever encounter. Hope you are feeling better soon.
You have a serious but very treatable disease-bulimia.
This brings on the depression because you can't control
your feeding frenzy. If you are a teen, a lot of this comes from
society's /and peers demands that you look a certain way.
Talk to your mom seriously about this or one day you might
just swallow the pills when noone's around.
You have a lot of life to live yet, and your own children to
kiss and to love. Don't go down in that pit.
In the famous words of Creed - "You see my wrist? I know your pain" Dear, what you are experiencing right now is a severe bout with depression complicated with bulemia as the others have said. This is very treatable, with the appropiate help, but you have to WANT the help. Trust me, as someone who has been down your road before and pulled through, you can make it. My prayers are with you, keep your chin up and get that help you need. Best of luck!

OMG NOW ITS ME WITH THE EMERGANCY females please?

okay, so went to take a tampon out, hurt so bad and wasnt moving, the tip showed, and i looked and its skin from INSIDE ME attached to it!! HELP! *cries* my mom wont be home for a hour! :(
Answer:
You should probably go to the doctor. Granted it's nice to have an outsiders opinion on what it might be, you never honestly know if it could be harmful without a doctor checking it out. If I were you, I would at least schedule an appt. with your gyno or go to the emergency room to have it looked at and make sure nothing is too wrong. Good luck!
did you insert the tampon when you didn't have your period?
It sounds like the tampon is dry, and stuck to your skin. Put some water around the edges of it (with your finger or a washcloth) and gently work it out, loosening the eges first. Don't pull it out all at once. When you get some moisture in there, it'll come out easily, don't worry!

Okay, that's just really strange. I wonder how it managed to do that?!
This is not an emergency. Just work the tampon out, don't bother your mother with this. Let's not be ridiculous.
Go take a nice warm bath. Slowly work it out.
You'll be fine. The water will loosen it all up.
First, relax...
Get into the bath tube into warm water and soak in there... While in the water, try to loose it from you very gently and little by little; maybe it is just dry blood and washing it will loose the tampon
If it doesn't come out, maybe staying in the tube will help you relax and wait calmly until your mom comes home
zIf the skin was on the tampon and not stuck directly to you then don't panic its just the lining of your uterus and a natural thing.
dab Vaseline around the outside - go slow and don't try to yank it out quick (it's not a band-aid) If the water or Vaseline does not work try calling your doctors office and ask them what you should do. (actually any medical office would do)
You really need to relax. There are no tampon emergencies. You're just blowing things out of proportion. It is obviously just stuck and if you don't relax you will never get it out because your muscles will tense up too much. You probably inserted it wrong.
Just very slowly try to pull out, take some deep breaths, it'll come out eventually.

Omg now im hyperventailateing?

OMG NEED HELP ASAP! i really need help by 4:15 !?

ok i have this huge zit at the bottom of my nose and i am going to fun night at 6:15. HELP ME! how do you get rid of zits, or at least stop the swelling. i need help ASAP!!!!!!!!!!...
Answer:
ice it...or if it is almost ready to "pop", put a warm compress on it to force it along...
Put a dab of toothpaste on it.
You can't by 6:15. You'll have to use makeup. You should keep a container on-hand of green concealer. Yes, green. Believe me, you put a little green concealer on that pimple and all the redness will be gone. The pimple will still be there, but it won't hardly be noticeable.
Other than makeup, there isn't much of anything you can do. But please don't touch it, squeeze, pick, pop the pimple. That will make it MUCH worse looking, spread the bacteria and you'll always have a scar there--permanently.
Try using a litle bit of ice. Wrap it in a paper towel, but only hold it on there for 20 minutes. Longer than that and you will freezer-burn your skin.
. Mix together baking soda and Apple Cider Vinegar until it becomes a paste. Dab some of the mixture onto your zit or pimples and let it dry - then wash with warm water and pat with a clean towel.

2. Use salicylic acid, which is basically aspirin. Grind up the tablet of aspirin and mix with either lemon juice or vinegar until it makes a paste. Dab some of the paste onto your skin and let it dry - wash with warm water and dry with a clean towel.

3. Use toothpaste or hydrogen peroxide to dry out your pimples overnight.

Make sure to drink a lot of water - at least 8 tall glasses per day. Wash your face with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel at least twice per day.

Acne or pimples are caused by hormonal changes, bad eating habits and improper skin care. Home remedies are based on herbs and natural ingredients that should treat your skin problems or at least help improve the skin disorders.

hope it helps
Put ice on it. It will reduce the swelling.
Rubbing Alochol, to cleanse, ice for swelling, Tylenol
Cover the spot in toothpaste until right before you go!
soak a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol. then rub it on your pimple. it helps dry it up! i use it all the time!
ok here is a list of things you could do

1)put cover up or fondation on it

2)numb it with ice and pop it caution-may leave scar

3)just leave it looks shouldn't matter


hope that helps good luck
go to the store and try that proactive solution...ps it really works
If you need a temporary solution, hold an ice cube to it for a little while. The cold ease the swelling, but try not to touch it too much. Yes it will be cold, but it works pretty well.
OK, calm down. first off, DONT PICK! if it is not ready to pop that will just irritate it and make it red. Apply come thing cold like an ice pack to it for a few minutes. That should reduce swelling and redness. Then gently apply cover up foundation and powder. Just make sure the foundation is not globbed on or it will look funny. If possible put on really dramatic eye make up to draw the attention up and off ur nose. Works well for me.
take a safety pin and pop it and when u pop it put some vasiliene on it thats whut i do it really works!!
Ok i'm here for you. Just get a paper towel of toilet paper and get it wet. Then dump a needle in alchohaulk or water (alchohal is better). If there is a white spot on the zit, poke the white spot with the needle and push on both sides of the zit. Wipe the puss and blood off the zit and put a hot washcloth on it. It doesnt hurt and it takes 2 min. Hope Its BEttrer!
ice
and who cares about how you look
its who you are
just me is right, either ice it to reduce the swelling, or hot water or steam to force it open if it has a head ready to blow!
No way to get rid of it, but you could give yourself a blackeye to distract away attention.
Crush up an aspirin, and mix just enough water to make a thick paste out of it and apply. Let it sit and dry and then wash off with warm water. You can also make a mask and apply it to your whole face for improved appearance. I read about it in a magazine from a celebrity make up artist...she uses it for situations just like yours and swears by it! I've tried it and loved it! Good Luck!
toothpaste
well i had the perfect answer, but i see that it is 4:17.

sorry.

Omg im scared. i think i have internal bleeding or appendicitis.?

whats going on?
i worked out today, and at about one hour after, i started experiencing some pain.
in the left lower corner of my torso, next to my stomach, was a sharp pain. when i would tighten up my stomach it felt like someone woould stab me with a knife.
the weird thing is that at thegym, i worked on upper body, not stomach.

i took aleve, and it said that if you take any other medicines like advil, which i did, you can get internal bleeding.
whats happening to me?
do i have an ovarian cyst? please say no!
Answer:
Well. You made the right decision. Why go to a doctor when I can ask all the medical people on ByeDr.com what's wrong. When I suspect I have a possible medical emergency ByeDr.com is my first choice. I say take two aspirin and re post in the morning.
See a doctor, immediately. Or go to the emergency room. It's no joke, pain in the lower part of the stomach can be a sign of appendicitis.
GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM!! NOW!!
The only way to find out is to see a doc and get checked out.. The small amounts of Aleve and advil you took will not cause internal bleeding that quick.
1. IF YOU HAD APPENDICITIS, CHANCES ARE YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN, LOG INTO YAHOO AND ASK THIS QUESTION.

2. ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE INTERNAL BLEEDING?

3. PLAY IT SAFE WITH YOUR HEALTH. EITHIER GO TO AN ER OR CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY (THEY TYPICALLY HAVE A NURSE ON THE HELP LINE TO HELP GUIDE YOU)
Well you might have hurt yourself working out, remember muscles are long and you use your stomach while working upper body. If you feel like your going to die you might want to call the doctor.
yeah, you need to get that checked hun. Even an ovarian cyst can rupture and cause problems..
Dont freak out, cos you may have just pulled a muscle when you were working out. If the pain persists, or you get a fever, then go see a doctor. Your appendix are on your right side, not your left, so it's in the area of an ovarian cyst. It's wise to stop exercising if your are experiencing pain while working out.
WHY ARE YOU STILL ON Y!A, GO TO THE HOSPITAL. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY, WE ARE NOT DOCTORS ON Y!A
too me it sounds like a pulled muscle even though you said you didnt work on your stomach. But if you think it is more serious, go to the hospital or doctor.
If it is in the left side,it is NOT appendicitis. The appendix is located on your right side,about halfway between your navel and the Iliac crest of your hip.( the bony curve on the top of your pelvis) Go see a Dr. about it, as it could be several things,but again, it is NOT your appendix. Also, internal bleeding from mixing medications takes time,sometimes even years. It would not occur from a one time dose.
Appendicitis is felt in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen. This sounds like a hernia to me. Go see your doctor to be sure.
calm down before you convince your self you have bubonic plague too.

its probably just a muscle or something you hurt while working out, not a big deal.

the internal bleeding from meds is usually if you take it over a period of time. i have never heard of anyone bleeding to death from just one dose.

go see a doctor, he will tell you what it is.

Omg i need help now!! plz this is like the most important ever to me!!?

i farted and it burns and smells whereever i go and people keep on faling uncouncious cause og the fart smell it produces when i fart plus it burns!!! what do i do
Answer:
SWEET! Use it against your enemies. Lock them in a room with you.
you must have eaten something spicy=can't do much until the food is out of your system
stop eating red meat
stop eating eggs or meat.and stop trying to get attention.
ew...i can smell it from here. well, take a gas-x. it might have been something you ate. if it smells bad tomorrow, go to a doctor because it might be some kind of intestine stuff. best of luck i hope this helps
ha,ha i tkink you should hurry and jump off a bridge before you do anymore damage
I think you should avoid foods such as cereals and peas and lentiles and things like that...if by modifying your diet it does not get better you might see a doctor and arrange for stool examination to check whether you might have any parasitic infection such as ameba, etc which might cause this.
go to a gastrointerologist

OMG Drug Test!!?

Hey guys! Ok here is the deal it has been so long sice I smoked I mean the last time was when I was 17, I am 24 now. It was on the 1st of June I was at a party and was upset so I was not thinking straight, Now, I have an interview wednesday the 13th and byt my second interview they will want me to take a test, I am scared I will fail. I know it does not take 3 months, or even 2, so I want to make sure when they tell me to take it I have nothing to worry about.. I Only took 3 hists!! Please help!?
Answer:
take a home and see what it says
Hun, within a month, its out of your system...But if you are really worried about it, go to GNC...They have stuff that will cleanse you right out...Trust me ;)
you don't have any thing 2 worry about
If you are being honest about how often you have smoked pot (i.e. never in the last 7 years) than a pee test will be perfectly safe. A blood or hair test however, your screwed.
drink lots of water and take a b vitamin before you take the test,you should be fine.
It takes about four weeks. Stretch out the date of the second interview and you'll be OK.
there is no way reeefa would be in your system after 7 years
drug tests can test up to a month back with a urine sample, and up to three months back with a hair sample. a friend of mine quit a month and a half before his test, drank nothing but cranberry juice and water for that whole time, and still came up positive. dont do the crime if you cant do the time. sorry love, but its the truth. an employer wont accept "i was upset and not thinking straight" as a reason to be using drugs. if you can manage to space out the interviews, you may make it if they do a urine test. also, you may get lucky if the sample only contains the very smallets amounts. if you did three hits you may get lucky and come up with a small neglegent amount.

ps people she isnt saying she hasnt done it in seven years, she is saying it had been seven years then on june first she was at a party and did it again.
It depends on the person and what they test for in the drug tests. I smoked and then took a saliva drug test a week after and it was fine. I don't know the exact time it stays in your system though.

You can also buy something to flush your system, around here they sell them at headshops by the beach.

Thats all I know, Good Luck.
the thc stays in your body fat so if you dont have much body fat just drink lots and lots of water and it should flush out your system. my friend is 5ft.6in. and weighs 102lbs. she smoked 2 days before and just drank a bunch of water and she was fine or you could chance it on some of that cleanser drink stuff you can get at gnc.
Here are some BASIC guidelines. Keep in mind each person is different so these timeframes differ by person:

Drug Detection Time
Alcohol 6鈥?4 hours
Amphetamines 2鈥? days
Barbituates 1 day to 3 weeks
Benzodiazepines 3鈥? days
Cocaine 2鈥? days
Codeine 3鈥? days
Euphorics (MDMA, Ecstasy) 1鈥? days
LSD 1-4 days
Marijuana (THC) 7鈥?0 days
Methadone 3鈥? days
Methaqualone 14 days
Opiates 1-4 days
Phencyclidine (PCP) 2鈥? days
Steroids (anabolic) 14鈥?0 days

For more detail see:

Good luck.
Well, if all goes well, hopefully you will get that 2nd interview..I wish u the best though. Anyways since u dont smoke that much im pretty sure its out of your system by now, but to be safe just go to any head shop and tell them your situation.I know from previous experiences.I took a detox drink a few hours before my test and drank lots of water .I think thats the name of the drink also , detox. It worked everytime, and if not u get your money back! Also for my second interview i had, it wasnt for a week or so later, so that should buy some extra time..
Weed can last up to 30 days in your system..water..drink LOTS of water!
I had a similar problem in 11th grade. I wanted to be on the track team but I also smoked pot. All I did was drink a lot of water for like a week or two and the test came back negative. You could either try that or pay anywhere between 40 and 60 bucks for that liquid stuff that puts it right out of your system.

Don't ask me where you get it though, I only know that it exists! :)
You may be in trouble or you could not be. It depends on many different factors. Most importantly you should know that it depends on your metabolism because the traces are stored in your fat cells.

It also depends on what kind of test they do.blood, urine, or hair.

It also depends on who does the test and how involved it is.

I would say your best bet is to take the test no matter what. If you fail, tell your possible employer that you had a poppy seed bagel...play dumb and ask if that would matter...ask if you can retest.

If they tell you to go take the test and you don't, they will have their answer and you don't stand a chance of ever being hired by that company.
thats the price you pay when you live in crappy soceity where smoking is ruled as a source of evil... they only do it for revenue and for insurance... the only reason. so if you fluck up at work and make an accident ... the company are not responsible for your mis decision. while being off your face... so the insurance company will or will not pay up. its all about money dear.. they dont really care if you smoke it or not... heck they make money on allthe fines they give you. and others... 100% cash profit... why would they want to legalise it and make 0% profit.
30 days is the normal recommended waiting period. If you have your second interview in that time frame, Water and lots of it and believe it or not, herbal tea is an outstanding cleansing agent and easily obtainable.
Good luck and might I recommend the next time you get upset binge on chocolate ice cream!
So are you saying it's been almost two weeks, or almost seven years and two weeks since you smoked? It can be detectable within a month. If you try to use anything to "flush it out," be aware that it doesn't usually work. In addition, the megadoses of niacin that have been recommended have put several people in the hospital with liver failure. Probably best to look on the bright side--if it's another week until your second interview and the test, it'll be mostly gone. If the lab sets the cutoff a bit liberally (they're trying to get people who use regularly) you'll slide by.

Omfg stressed..?

I was supposed to play at a concert for my school's band today. Well since I'm a complete retard I completely FORGOT about it and missed it. omfg i can't believe it. I don't know what I'm going tell the band teacher. This is like half my grade. He's gonna kill me in front of the everyone while they watch me squirm.

I seriously think I have like AHDH or something. Teachers always have me sit there after class to discuss how I'm never focused and turn everything in late. I hate it. Any advice?
Answer:
Talk to your Dr about the problems you are having.
Own up to your mistakes. Get better organization skills. Set reminders for yourself. Make a calendar. It definitely affects you to be late and forget things now but it will be tragic later. Getting tested for a learning disability or attention disorder won't hurt either.
Stress can arise for a variety of reasons. Any change in our lives can be stressful. In dealing with stress, the lifestyle needs a complete overhaul. We should be placed on an optimum diet, and take regular exercise and adequate rest. Check out

Old mattress can gain up to 50 lbs.?

Over a period of 10 years imagine basking in 50lbs of dead skin cells! Does that thought make anyone else cringe and buy a hypoallergenic mattress cover? I hope so.
Answer:
Im glad i have a hypoallergenic cover,,
GRO-OSSS
eww it really does?!! thats disgusting! :-P
What is your question?
YES!!!
Technically, the average is 4 lbs per year in weight gain, and, unfortunately, it's not just dead skin cells!
You Have:

Dead Skin Cells
Oils absorbed from your skin.
Moisture absorbed from your body, causing rust or ferrous oxide to develop on the innerspring unit in some cases.
Dead Skin Cells from Dust Mites.
Dust Mite Droppings.
Dander from any pets you may have.
Dust in the air.
Allergens that have settled onto your bed and worked their way into the ticking.

With that in mind, dead skin cells alone aren't all that bad. Combine them with these additional additives and you've got a real mix!

Need an excellent quality mattress protector that is guaranteed for 10 years to protect against rips, tears, cigarette burns and dust mites? Call me: 801-746-1295, Ask for Shaunell and we can get one shipped to you immediately!

Thanks,

Old age people often brake their bones, why what is the reason.?


Answer:
women , more than men , lose their bone density due to very many reasons and the bones tend to become weak. This results in the bone breaking at the weakest point when /if there is a fall. Men , too , have the same peoblem but to some lesser extent.

These days men and women are adived to take "Bone Density" test which is very simple , though it costs some money. The result of the test will indicate the trend and doctors might advice siome food suppliments and calcium for this. Still there is the need to be careful.
there bones rub repdiatly causing weaker bones until they break
Older people go through osteoporosis, or the losing of bone mass. Since their bones aren't as dense as they once were, they become very brittle.

Imagine trying to break a fairly large stick you pulled right off a tree. Now imagine trying to break one the same size, but had been sitting on the ground a while. The bone issue is very similar to that.
As people age, their bones slowly lose calcium, that's why you are supposed to drink milk every day, so this doesn't happen. This goes especially for women, when they have a baby, some of their calcium goes to the baby, therefore causing her to have less. The more children a woman has, the less calcium she has in her bones.

Kyle F:
The breaking of bones has NOTHING to do with them rubbing together. Bones don't rub together..that would be very painful indeed.
when you get older your bone is fragile because your whole skeleton has held up all that weight for so many years...one simple fall, or trip, or slip, or slide can break just about anything. and it really is dangerous. there is medicine though that helps strengthen bones. my grandma just got hip replacement surgery two days ago cuz she fell.
sometimes they get dizzy and fall or some old people have l know weak ankles and their legs just give out on them
the bone density decreases with age and thus the problem
As you get older your bones become more brittle,in saying that you don't necessarily need to be old. I was 27 when diagnosed with osteoporosis %26 bones can fracture easily.Certain weight exercises and consuming dairy products can help,then of course there are medications depending on the severity.
Most of the old aged peoples break their bones by osteoporosis.
When in old age,men and women lose calcium,thats why in old age people often break their bones,but remember each and every problem have short term,long term or even permenant solution,dear friend,human beings on earth are designed to live for 120 years,but most often they die around the age of 80 years. I have a long term solution,mail me at sabuabr@yahoo.co in only if you are serious.any one can mail me.

Okay, why are there so many ads on my home page all of a sudden?

All programs are running to prevent this, but within the past couple of days, there are ads flashing all over my home page. This is really distracting and if I am paying for internet, why is it necessary for so many "neon" ads on my home page? I didn't design the home page, but whoever did didn't do me any favors.
Answer:
Who's hosting your site? It may be them flooding it with ads *sigh* That's how it's free...even though you are paying for the internet...
WOW!
That is SOOO HOT!
you were looking at porn...you were looking at porn...
paris actually got a right answer...even the mentally challanged have their day
Step 1, download Spybot Search and Destroy, update it, and run.
Step 2, download the Firefox Internet browser.
Step 3, download the extension for Firefox named Adblock plus, along with any updates for spam vendors.

To get the extension in Firefox, select Tools from the menu bar and click on Addons. You can get Adblock plus from the database of Firefox Addons there, and the page will help you set it up and get it working.

The result is that you can make any pop-up or annoying ad disappear from what you see on the Internet, as well as blocking spyware and tracking cookies. You'll never have to deal with them again.

Also, it wouldn't hurt to make Google.com your homepage.

OKAY I HAVE A QUESTION.. WHAT IS AN OCD??

okay i know this is a really stupid question..but whats an ocd? what does it stand for? please help.. lol thanks
Answer:
okay so you HAVE to pick me for best answer! i have OCD!
OCD stands for obsessive compulsive disorder. it's REALLY common. it means like you obsess about a lot of things and you have compulsions to try to get the obsessives out of your mind. like your obsessed with germs. and compulsive means once you find something you like you go all out for it/in it.
it's kinda hard to explain. but i have it and i'm middle range. my aunt has it SOOOO bad!

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en%26amp;defl=...

hope i helped!!

:]

-pick the OCD person as best answer! :]]]]]
obsessive-compulsive disorder
It stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/obsessive-c...
It stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and it is a sort of anxiety disorder when someone is always obsessing over small details and has to have everything just right or just the way they need it to be. It also causes repeating behaviors.
obsesive compulsive disorder. its an axiouty disorder when people have to do things repeatedly to get unwanted thoughts out of their head. Its usually when they are neat freaks and everything has to be in the right place.
OCD---obsessive-compulsive disorder, is when a person has an unreasonable, uncontrollable recurring fear that they have to deal with----checking door locks is a classic, but there are many things that can happen with OCD.
OCD stands for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it applies to the behavior of someone who does certain things - feels compelled to do certain things - and doesn't really know why they do it. Some doctors believe binge eating is obsessive-compulsive behavior because the person starts eating, finds it difficult to stop and doesn't know why they are eating in the first place. Excessive shopping - buying things to improve your mood could be compulsive behavior. More extreme examples are people who wash their hands all the time (excessively) or people who can't leave home without going back several times to make sure the lights are off.

Ok... Am I going crazy or does it seem like we are slowly being poisoned by China?

Ok... First it was our dogs with poisoned dog food... Next our pork, now our children with lead poisoning. Is it all a coincidence? Or is there something more behind it? What do you think?
Answer:
My friend says the same thing...I think you're right, and I think it's time we stop buying from them and their sweatshops.
I think your on to something, i didn't know all that was from china
It's not just China. Ever wonder what is in those "natural/artificial flavors" that are in almost everything?

Do you really belive 7UP is just flavored with lemons and limes?!?
Yeah i think china is totally out to get us by selling us unstable posioned pork and dog food. They really wanna get back at america! I bet in a year they'll be selling posioned lotions that can kill you in one usage. or even posion shampoos!

Seriously, your paranoid...

good luck finding a doctor.
then by U.S..and we wont have to worry about it

Ok, when u are nervous and u get the butterflies in ur stomach? or ur in love?

Answer:
I think it something to do with adrenaline... you'll notice when you get butterflies, your heart starts pounding really fast.
I believe that someone just knows that they're in love. It feels right, no questions asked. %26lt;3
Getting pulled over late at night if you have been drinking can give you the very same feeling!

Might be that "ur" in love with a cop!

OK, so how do you get rid of stretch marks?

No I did not have a baby, it's just that I used to be fat and I'm not anymore, but now I have stretch marks on the inside of my legs where my fat used to be. How do I get rid of them?
Answer:
Stretch marks are scars. Plain and simple. They will not totally go away, cocoa butter helps the elasticity in the skin, and vitamin E also, Though cocoa butter is an effective moisturizer, no research studies have shown its ability to either prevent stretchmarks, or improve their appearance once a stretchmark has already formed. Various treatments are available for the purpose of improving the appearance of existing stretch marks, including laser treatments, dermabrasion, and presciption retinoids. Few published studies exist for over-the-counter remedies, but two ingredients have shown early promise in clinical research-- darutoside and registril [Sederma Labs[1]]. Used daily for one month, they resulted in significant improvement in the appearance of a stretchmark's length, depth, and irregular surface area. Some cream manufacturers claim the best results are achieved on recent stretch marks; however, few studies exist to support these claims.
There are creams made for this purpose, with Vitamin E and Cocoa Butter. They'll help reduce (but not eliminate) the stretch marks.
cocoa butter
Try cocoa butter lotion.
sorry hun, stretch marks are permanent, there is a product avon puts out for stretch marks called Re-Fine. It is about the best there is. Stretch marks are like scars they don't go away. if you are avoiding them when you get pregnant, use olive oil to help avoid them. good luck
There are no sure-fire ways to get rid of stretch marks altough there are some products out there that claim that they do. I hear that vitamin E helps with reducing the stretch marks by putting the oil right onto the stretch marks itself.
Just remember, everyone gets stretch marks to some extent due to changes in your weight over time so it's normal. You should just try to keep yourself toned and take at least a 30 minute walk a day. A healthier body can certainly lead to less desirable characteristics.

Ok what does it mean when you have vomited(barfed) 7 times?

i vommited like 7 times and i probably will more, what should i do and what is wrong with me?
Answer:
do you have a fever? Does ypur head hurt? Are you achey all over? How long of a time period have you commited that many times? (You should tell us all that...) If you answer no to those it's food poisning. If you answer yes it's the flu. But it sounds more like food poisning. Good luck!
Hope you feel better.
either you could be pregnant or it is a 24 hour stomach virus
Go to see your Dr. ASAP and find out! He is the professional! Your health is too important to not get checked out. Vomiting 7 times is NOT normal! Hope you feel better soon!
Same thing has happened to me. I just had a virus. If after a while you are barfing up a clear liquid, it is just the acid-like stuff in your stomache. When that happens, try eating two crackers and see if it stays down. Just slowly (really slowly) try and eat and drink. If you can't keep it down, wait a while before you try again. When you can keep stuff down, drink white soda and eat only light food -- crackers are the best. If you are having trouble keeping things down for a while or you feel like you are going to pass out, call the doctor.

Get well soon!!
YOUR APENDIX!! RUUUNN!!
That you've been watching the Republican debates again.
Its not normal to vomit 7 times...
What other symptoms do you have? Stomachache? Headache? Dizziness? Fever?
Anyways... you should go see your dr.
Whatever is making you sick isn't out of your body yet. Drink a lot of Gatoraid to try and keep yourself hydrated.
You probably have alcohol poisoning, food poisoning, the flu or you could be pregnant. If you feel as if your going to die, then go to the ER. If you feel fine but are just puking, then waiting until tomorrow morning and see how much it progressed. If its worse, then go to your doctor, if it gets better than call your doctor and see what s/he thinks you should do.
MAKE SURE TO DRINK LOTS OF LIQUIDS AND TRY AND EAT SOMETHING SO YOU DON'T DRY HEAVE.

Good luck %26 I hope you feel better soon!
7 times in how long? 3 days, 4 hours, 20 minutes?

There is no such thing as a 24-hour flu-- but it could be food poisoning. If other symptoms include stomach cramps, possibly headache, but nothing else, it's probably food poisoning.

If you have other symptoms like diarrhea, body aches, headache, abdominal cramps-- then it could be some kind of virus.

Are you on any new medications? You may be having a reaction to that. If that's the case, call your doctor ASAP. Something needs to be changed.


Whatever it may be, if you aren't able to start keeping down liquids within 48 hours, get to a doctor or the ER. At the very least, they'll put you on an IV drip to keep you hydrated. Dehydration isn't any fun either.

OK to drink urine?

There is this girl who wants me to drink her urine. I'm eager to do it. I understand the risk of STDs and all that and I'm not interested in any moral issues here. Assuming that the girl is clean and healthy, is there any reason I shouldn't drink her pee?
Answer:
Urine is acceptable to drink in assuming it is clean. It may have a bad taste and drinking too much and too often on a regular basis can make you dehydrated because it is not as pure as just water and is technically a waste. I see no reason as to why you should not do it if you are interested. It is complately safe and is actually a disinfecting agent and can also be used on wounds to keep them infection free.
other than the fact that its filled with hundreds of toxins and chemicals that your body has never recognized...no. but you could drink your own pee and be perfectly fine. your pee is sterile to your own body, but other peoples...thats just eww
Sure, but it tastes lousy... unless it's your own piss.
swig away dude, if thats what you are into. i wouldnt drink too much if i were you tho. actually, i wouldnt drink any cause its disgusting. why not just go out for ice cream or something?
why do you want to drink urine? thats gross. lol. i think you could get bacteria from it. but nothing harmful. hope this helps! :]
I heard that the chinese or japanese sorry if im wrong but they wash their faces w baby urine because its so pure n clean..I would think i would gag if i knew some1 was peein in my mouth tho..
yes you coould drink pee. I tried mine once. Not something I would advise it really does not taste good. I would be careful of drinking someone elses, unless I know for sure it is just urine and their not on drugs or have some disease. I read somewhere that in the dessert when they did not have enough water they would drink their urine. It has vitamins and everything your body has extra of. It will not kill you but it is not very pleasant to drink.
For fun, No. For health, yes, but drink your own urine, the 1st urine in the morning after you woke up. There's a town in China where every man drinks their urine for healthy reason.
Given the standards you outlined, there shouldn't be any problem. Urine is basically sterile. And I assume she's keen to sample yours as well, especially if you add some cream on top (if you know what I mean).
Have her eat asparagus the day before for more flavor. This also helps when she drinks yours straight from the tap.
Are you seriously, put her to drink your urine and ask her how it feels...that girl is f.g crazy..!

Ok this is weird but..please help...?

I am freaking itching. All over..no rash or redness, just constant itching! No I dont have like lice or anything and im a very clean person.(I shower every morning and 1/2 time at night too). I dont think my skin is dry..it just feels like my skin is crawling or like I have a wool sweater on..What could cause this?? Am I crazy?!?
Answer:
There is a spider-mite outbreak near me. Itchy as hell if you get 'em.

I walked through an overgrown field last week and my ankles just stopped itching.

It could be a lot of things.
It could be a dust mite allergy. You might also want to get a liver function test. Itching could be a sign of liver or gallbladder problems.
A change in weather does this to me.
Get a package of Oatmeal Bath made by Aveeno and sit in the bath for about 30 minutes. Put on a mild lotion (baby lotion) and good luck!
I would try lotion first, you could have dry skin and not know it.
If that doesn't work then I would talk to a doctor.
you could have an allergy. Have you changed detergent or fabric softener? Maybe something you are eating. Many things can cause an allergy. Check with your doctor to get an allergy test called RAST test. It will check for common allergens in your area. It is a single blood test and can be expensive if you have no insurance. But it is worth it. Some people are allergic to wheat and never know it. There are other reasons to itch like that as well so make an appointment as soon as possible. In the meantime, buy some over the counter Loratidine 10 mg It may control the itch till you find out what it is. hope this helps.
It could be allergies or from the heat. You don't half to have a rash.Try using white vinegar were it itches.Another thing that helps itching is bag balm, that's good for everything.
Hi Ashley-- it's Shannon-- you helped me get rid of the constant purple window - remember? My skin does this too, somtimes-- i think its just dryness probably from too much showering-- as you are ending your shower-- and just like blot off some water with the towel, apply some aveeno bath and shower oil - or nuetrogena makes a good one too-- light formula so you don't feel all oily when you are trying to get dressed. Applying it when you are still damp makes it spread and cover better and keep more moisture in. It doesn't take much at all. A regular size bottle lasts me at least a couple months. Good luck--

OK SOOO............ i need i help?

I have an important question about feet?
i was at journeys and i was showing my dad the shoes i wanna get next year. And a lady said may i ]help u and my dad said no. and i said i want new shoes but my dad wont let me get any cause all that is wrong is lining is busted and she starts to ask me how i take off and put on my shoes and i say i slip then on and off (by the way they are Etnies shoes) and she says that there are like 26 bones in your foot held together by cartillage and the shoes is built to pretect the foot and stuff and girls have surgery on the foot and r never able to wear sneakers again only high tops and work boots but my mom says bear feet is the best! What is your take on this

But i also do tie my shoes but slip them on in the morning when they are already tied but mostly tie them during school anyway
Answer:
I recomed bare feet but i lived in a small beach town in RSA sioo its kinda clean there but if its no hygenically vi-abe to go bare foot, ware shoes that are comforable form you
Actually the doctors will tell you that bare feet is not the best way to go.

The best shoe to wear is one that has a 2 inch heel, it allows your back the proper angle to walk properly.

Flat shoes or bare feet puts too much presure on your lower back and spine
well... first off i think you need to proofread your **** before you post it on the net, because you type like an idiot. second i think the old lady in the store was right about the amount of bones in your foot and nothing else.
Well, the lady in the store is close about the number of bones in the foot (26 bones, 33 ligaments, and 19 muscles and tendons), but is dead-on about shoes protecting the feet. Barefoot is not the best for feet. I can see the logic, but going bra-less is not best for the breasts, is it? Like a lot of other body parts, the feet need support by well-fitting shoes. Shoes that support the foot, arch, and ankle are the best. Buy shoes in the afternoon when your feet tend to swell even a little bit, and buy shoes right before a period when you may be retaining a little fluid. Althletic shoes with good support are the best if they are well-made. Be sure, when you try them out, that there are no places that are repeatedly rubbing. It will only get worse the longer you wear them.

Here is a good website that talks about the feet and caring for them: http://www.diabetic-lifestyle.com/articl...

I know it says something about diabetes, but the information is good anyway.

Here is what I consider to be the ultimate in an information source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/foot...

Good luck %26 take care of those tootsies! ;-)

Ok someone explain this? If my stomach doesn't hurt my chest does, if my chest hurts my stomach doesn't, if

neither of them hurt, I have anxiety. But I don't have anxiety while having either one..
Answer:
More than likely, this is due to your anxiety. Your body can be stressed whether or not you feel anxious. Try to calm down and relax. I had these same symptoms and that's exactly what the doctor told me. I eventually got tired enough that I decided to change the way I think. Life is too short to worry and be unhappy. Everyday, I make the decision to have a good day. Now I realize, it is a choice. Once I put it in my head that I didn't want to feel that way anymore, it all changed. I was able to come off my meds for migraines and for depression and I've been good ever since. I hope that helps!
try giving head to a mouse, that always makes me happy

OK so I guess I have ear congestion??

ok so lets say 3 or 4 days ago i got a cold anyway-uhm this morning I woke up having the feeling your ears get when ur in a plane. (the "pressure")my left ear to be exact. ya know when you just want to "pop" the pressure, I also can't hear that well it my left ear (congestion) Iv'e tried gum, and I tryed getting the mucus out by blowing my nose, but it just won't pop, OH but when burp, It feels as if it's about to pop and then instantly goes back to being under pressure...Im pretty sure there are other ways to treat this w/o a doctor-it's nothing serious, I just want to POP THE PRESSURE OUT OF MY EAR =]] thanx
Answer:
Actually trying to pop the pressure out as you've been doing, may have pushed the fluid further into your ears and you may actually develop an ear infection. Try taking some Mucinex and Sudaphed. If you develop any ear pain, go to the Doctor.
You might have a plugged up ear, try:
http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.j...
That's what my doctor diagnosed my son with once when he had an earache.

Ok so i get really bad head aches and migrains what to do?

i get head aache slike almost daily and the last the whole day and ill get a really bad mirgrain every once and a while. my mirgains get worse each time. i get massages to reduce the risk of migrains and headaches but i still get em. ive been to the doctor a million times about this and had a catscan bu tnothing and they dont know y. any u might no?
Answer:
there are many triggers for migraines some which are not so well known. you could be allergic to something IN your pillows or bedroom, many foods and drinks are triggers also. i have had migraines for over 20 years and i know you pain. i found a dr that believed me and helped me. i now take preventative medications every night before bed and it helped SO MUCH. i have found thru research that many migraine sufferers are magnesium deficient and i take a supplement. i now have fewer break thru migraines and they are also less intense. find a dr that specializes in migraines.

if you do drink coffee/cola,,,do NOT quit that cold turkey , withdrawl from caffiene with also cause massive headaches, better to wean off of it slowly
Some doctors tell migraine sufferers to go somewhere cold, very dark and quiet and to drink a pepsi. This all has to do with blood flow in the brain I believe, and relief from stimuli that exacerbates the problem. Some sufferers do not respond to any treatment.
change your pillows. Alot of headaches are caused from a bad nights sleep. the way your neck is positioned can tweek a vein or muscle causing a massive headache. It also might be exposure to bright lights. try doing less stressful things and sleep
Lay off the coffee and chocolate for a while and maybe cheese too, assuming you eat and drink these things. I was told they can set off migraines and I know that at least coffee does for me.
Have you checked what you are eating? Try keeping a diary of your food and check it against when you get a headache.
I used to get a migraine when certain foods got mixed.
If I had any combination of chocolate, cheese and alchohol on the same day then I suffered. Sounds obvious but sometimes you don't realise, have a cream cheese bagel at breakfast then at dinner time you have a pud with a cocoa sprinkle on it. A couple of hours later you're unwell. It can take time to figure if there is a connection. If there is soon you'll be able to keep track without writing it down. For me after a couple of months the gaps between headaches were getting longer, a few years on I haven't had a migraine in over a year.
i know that doing exercises and weight lifting has helped my family members get rid of migraines.

and laying off the coffee.

OK odd but serious question. My fifteen year old sons nipples seem swollen.?

They look like an eleven years old girls. They have been like this for quite some time. He is worried it is cancer. I say it is not, probably just some puberty thing. Anyone else like this when you were young? If yes, is it something He will outgrow or should he see a doctor?
Answer:
Swollen breasts in boys is usually due to elevated hormone levels during puberty. It is not usually a serious condition, but best to see your doctor just to be sure.
for gods sakes take him to a doctor!!
my son had that same problem but it was his hormones at 16 now they are fine obviously cause I am about to be a grandma at 34!!!!!!!
it wouldn't hurt to have the Dr check him out
There are a lot of xenoestrogens in chemicals and air particulates anymore. Also in plastic food containers. I doubt it's cancer, but it's very possible his estrogen levels are elevated. I'd take him to the doctor and have it checked out. You may possibly find out there's nothing wrong, but if there is...better to know and get it taken care of.
Take him to a doctor and get him checked out.It may just be hormones.
JLO - Phil Connors here. The same thing happened to my son around that age and he was really self-conscious about it. Well, we went to our family practitioner and he said it is a fairly common occurrance in guys going into/through puberty. My advice - if he's concerned about it, take him to the doctor. It will be worth the office visit charge to put him at ease. Hope that helps. Phil.
It is normal in puberty for a male to have his nipples swell and get very sensitive. So sensitive a t-shirt hurts when it rubs against them. This is normal and after a few months they quit developing. The problem is the breast area swells a little before the boy starts to develope the mature male chest and physique. The result is the boy thinks he is going to have breasts. What really happens is the upper torso fills out and muscles develope and all of sudden the nipples are normal size for a man. So tell your son to relax. When you do the school physical for next year if it is still a concern mention it to the doctor and they will determine if it is excessive. Hormones will fix it.

Ok im 13 years old and i am a cutter it seems like everyone thinks this is a bad thing but i dont?

the cuts are not very deep but they left scars on my wrists i also have cut my shoulder and fingers im not sure why i cut but i think its for attention but that seems so stupid to me my parents already know and they werent that shocked is it really a bad thing
Answer:
i'm sorry you feel like you need attention so badly that you want to cut. It is not a good way to do so- believe me. i know people who pretend to be sick because they want the attention and htey have learned the same thing you are- people can often sense when a person is looking for attention. they are not as sympathetic as they usually wuld be. cutting is serious and you need to stop. email me, maybe we can go deeper into why you're cutting but the main thing is you need to stop.

email me at heyitsprerana@gmail.com if you want to!
=]
I think you can get attention through more positive means. It is especially sad that you realize you're doing it for attention and yet you continue. Please go see a school counsellor or something.
i use 2 cut myself, 1'm 15. they left scars on my wrist. but i stop cuz it is stupid. u shouldn't cut urself 4 attention cuz it's won't b good attention

Ok i have adhd and people like to be around me is that bad?


Answer:
No, why would it be bad? ADHD is a disorder and no one can catch it. It doesn't change who you are...it is just part of you.

Both my boys are ADHD. The oldest is very popular and always has been. He is in college now and is always the center of a crowd...the group is at our home frequently for cookouts and to swim.

Enjoy it! You are lucky to be a draw for people and they are lucky to know you.

Ok i am 12 and i still wet the bed what should i do???


Answer:
I know it's an embarassing problem, but you need to see a doctor. Until then use goodnites or Pampers just to keep the bed dry.
You need to see a doctor. And talk to your parents. Don't they know anything about it yet?
nothing
See a pediatrician. There are actually some new and pretty effective treatments now. Don't be embarrassed to ask, or to talk to a doctor. This is more common than you might think. The pediatrician probably deals with someone like you once a day. Get going.


Kent in SD
There are those pullups for older people. However, I'm sure there are advances in medicine, etc these days. Talk to your doc. If you're shy, talk to a female doc.
Nice try. You have to be 13 to be here, but even if what you say is true, you should be asking the responsible adult charged with your care.

Oh my god it hurts??

I have the worst headache and i am going to my bro's graduation in like 15 min. and i already took motrin.what do i do????
Answer:
It depends on what type of headache you have and how it started.
You haven't given enough info...
when i have a horrible headache i take 2 ibuprofin/motrin and 2 rapid release tylenol. works wonders. the tylenol kicks in within minutes.
How long have you had it and have you had headaches like this before?
ice your head
Drink something with caffeine. Helps headache meds work faster. Wear sunglasses.
Advil LiquiGels.
rub ur temples take Tylenol gels drink alot of water
Well conventional over the counter, I take Aleeve, but if you headache is result of hangover, take a couple sips of a drink, ya know hair of the dog remedy. Or.... well actually I better not say my favorite headache reliever.

Oh man im syuck from work at home with tonsillitis how can i avoid getting it again how can i get rid of it?

of man my tonsils are so big they are touching my uvuila and there is white gooey stuff on them how do i fix this problem and what is the effects if i dont do anything please help ive been to a doctor but she hasnt told me the effects so please help!
Answer:
it's kind of like other illnesses. you get it from being exposed to it. some people are more susceptible. it can cause complications, which is why they used to just remove tonsils all the time and if you got it, ever. i had it once from being around someone who had it and never got it again after that. i guess i probably didn't have it too badly. it was kind of like any other throat infection. i would suggest, if you're having problems, going back to the doc and discussing options with her. that's what doctors do. it's their job to tell you the effects of things going on with your body.
have them removed! It hurts a lot more as an adult, but it will stop you having this again.
take the treatment the doctor gave you.if this is recurrent you may need to have them removed(tonsillectomy) as they may be fibrotic.

Odd stomach pains?

Ive been having bad pains in my stomach for that past three days like ive never felt. It comes every hour or less and last like 5-10 minutes. I feel it all over my stomach. I dont feel like I need to go to the bathroom. I dont know.
Answer:
PEOPLE! Pregnancy does NOT cause stomach pain! These are not symptoms of pregnancy unless it's an etopic pregnancy. There really is no telling what could be causing your pain. It could be very minor or very serious. You should just go to your doctor or clinic to get checked out to be on the safe side. Are your pains excrutiating?? If so, go to the doctor. You might be passing a kidney stone-this is very painful and can last a long time at intervals. Maybe this website will help you narrow it down. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/kidne...
http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/pregnancyandb...
you are probablt preganent
It could be something you ate or a blockage or internal bleeding. Get to the doctor immediately. CAll you doctor's office now and get the earliest appointment you can. If you have a fever, go to the emergency room. It could be nothing and it could be everything.

I hope it's nothing serious and you feel better soon but what you need is a doctor. Now.
well are u pregnant or maybe u have period like things or your appendices taken out or something you ate

Och...I'm still hurting?

How long after starting antibiotics (Cipro) will my stomach stop bugging me?
Answer:
It says it can be taken with or without food, so if you're stomach is getting upset make sure you are taking it with food and drinking plenty of water. If your stomach continues to bother you, contact your doctor and let him know, sometimes that can be related to an allergic reaction.
They usually take from 24 to 48 hours to start working. You should start feeling better in a couple of days. Sorry about your stomach.
Cipro can cause gastro intestinal upset. I would recommend contacting your doctor so that he or she might prescribe a different medication to treat your illness.
well, it can take up to a day....it depends on how your body is, but i'm sure you'll be fine soon!
the cipro may be what's bothering your belly. are you taking it exactly as directed? if so, call the doctor who prescribed it as you may need to change meds.

OCD?? or what, if anything?

i have a bad habit of reading or hearing a word and then "typing" it over and over again with my fingers until it just is right.
is this OCD ?? or what, if anything?
Answer:
Yes it is OCD. There are varying degrees of the disorder and as long as it does not interfere with your life don't worry. I have a friend who does this exact thing - her husband counts his foot steps. We tend to gravitate to other OCDs - or there are just lots more of us low level ones.

OCD question?

I know I have OCD not diagnosed but i tried to tell my mom but she was almost in denial it's not something i like to talk about so I dont want to keep mentioning it but are there any ways to treat it w/o meds or what do the meds do how helpful are they .OCD doesnt totally control my day but there i do wish to cut out the repetition of task which I know is stupid and pointless to do but can't move on with-out doing it...any advice or help will be greatly appreciated
Answer:
Very unfortunate that you don't have good support. I have a friend that has been using a website called OCD foundation. She also has read a book called," Brain Lock" by JefferySchartz. I can see improvement in her. She said it has taught her how to refocus. Good Luck.
There's nothing wrong with having OCD, and your mom isnt doing you any favors by denying that you have it. OCD is often associated with Terrets, bi-polar disorder, and depression. You could try getting on an anti-depressant, but the thing I found works for me is just to relax. When I get worked up it gets worse (yes, i suffer from it too) so when you find it becoming more of a problem then try to relax, concentrate on not doing whatever it is you feel compelled to do and try not to do it. If you can find a relaxation technique that helps you may find improvement in your day.
Medications are the most effective treatment for OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). They do not prevent the symptoms entirely, but tone them down so they are more manageable. The usual medications of first choice are SSRIs (serotonin-specific re-uptake inhibitors), such as fluvoxamine (Luvox) and fluoxetine (Prozac). "Behavior therapy" can also provide benefit, usually in conjunction with medication. In behavior therapy a psychologist or counselor works with you to reduce your anxiety in such a way that fewer rituals are required to calm yourself down. By the way, you are to be congratulated for talking about your symptoms. Although many people have OCD, few are bold enough to mention their symptoms because they find them too embarrassing. But you are not alone!

Obesity question?

hey, does anyone know the percent of people that are obese or overweight because of medical reasons?

i would like to know how many people are overweight because of their neglect and medical problems (not their fault)
Answer:
Zero. It can all be traced back to diet, directly or indirectly. Eating toxic foods like you buy at the grocery store and McDonald's, Apple bee's, and pretty much everywhere else can cause thyroid malfunctions and a variety of other organ malfunctions that perpetuate obesity. but it ALL starts with eating toxic, nutrient-depleted foods.

Obese Friend?

I'm going to try and put all the information on so I don't sound like a harsh person.

I have this friend, who is VERY obese, she is roughly 300lbs and 17 years old, she is 5'11". She complains pretty much constantly, and I understand why. She says she wants to lose weight, and she wants to be active, but basically everytime I ask her to come play basketball, or go walk down by the river, or just to throw a ball around with some friends, and she says no she doesn't "feel" like it.

She's very lazy, and I know that sounds mean, but all she does is sit inside and watch t.v., I've heard her make comments that she buys not only one pop but TWO for morning classes at school, she eats alot of junk food and doesn't do much of anything.

It's driving me crazy, because she complains all the time, what can I do to help her, or to get her to shut up and stop complaining, Because it is literally driving me crazy, I have known her since I was in diapers so letting the friendship go is a no.
Answer:
it's really hard for her at her weight to even feel motivated to excersise or even get off the couch, i think the best thing is to start out simple, just taking a brisk walk for like 15-20 mintues, and then gradually making it a 1 hour walk, and then from there a 15-20 jog, and then 1 hour jog, and so on...
You should buy her Dance Dance Revolution because it's fun and I lost 20 pounds
your the one that rude, just leave her alone.
I would sit down and have a serious talk with her, let her know that her health is a concern to you, and you would like to help her, but that it is driving you crazy to listen to the complaining. It seems your friend may need an intervention or counselling of some kind. Serious cases of obessity is usually caused by some other underlying problem. Be truthful, and honest with her, there is not better kindness than that. at that weight at that age there could be serious health problems for her as well as a shortened life span. get some literature together and discuss this with her, but do so in a loving way so that she doesnt take offense.i wish you luck
It is so nice that you care. I think that if she didn't have the weight on her, she could be active outside, but she does, so she just sits and eats all day out of boredom. I think if you were to join a gym with her, that she would take advantage of the oppurtunity. Nobody ever wants to go alone. With a heavy person, they have a lot more to tote around when they walk, it takes more to exercise for them. Bless you for loving your friend so much and wanting to help her. I know with a sincere friend like you, she could get on the right track and start losing that weight! As for the junk food, she can tote waters to classes in a cooler with crystal light, they are good- no sugar, and take salads and fruits for lunch, healthy foods are more filling than the junk you find in the school vending machines. You can have fun together creating healthy but yummy foods.
I just bought The Walk off the Pounds Dvd, and have been doing 1, 2, 3, or 4 miles each day (usually do 2). Each mile takes about 15 minutes.
It's low impact, simple, fun, and it could really be a good start for her to get active and feel better about herself.

I found my DVD at Kmart for $20.00.
Your friend has a condition that you can do nothing about. it is one of self-esteem... food is comfort to her, and about anything else comes second.

She needs to be in the hands of psychiatrist or a psychologist, sweetie, to find out why she so hates herself that she has allowed herself this addiction to food. I'm I'm kinda asking just where are this girl's parents. that they would allow these eating habits to develop... She's likely been fat all of her life, and where indeed were her parents that they keep junk in the house for her to eat? Are they fat too?????

But she has about sealed her fate as an adult to remain obese unless her parents get her some help. And being fat has physical problems too. big time. In time she will so erode the joints in her knees and hips at to become disabled. She will get diabetes, and she will as well, suffer socially --- all of her friends dating, getting married, and there she is just staying fat. I ask again, where are her parents? They certainly have failed this girl.

Soon she will be 18 -- an adult -- and then she must do some deciding about her future.

Bariatric surgery is successful, but even though it will reduce her stomach to hold only an oz. those who have not had lots of counseling fail in the end--- the stomach just stretches to accomodate more food. Lots of surgeons won't even do the surgery unless the patient IS in counseling, IS on a diet, and IS exercising in a program.

If her parents are as fat as she is, then they all have a problem, hon, and you are pretty helpless in being able to help her... If she comes from a fat family, she is lost.

She complains to you because moving a huge body requires a lot of energy... and likely her joints already hurt. Her heart and her lungs and bones are exactly as big as yours are. For every pound of fat she is carrying, her body has provided one mile of veins, arteries and capillaries. Then, her heart has to pump the blood thru all of that. Lots of heavy people die of heart failure at an early age --- before age 30.

There are tv programs all the time of the Discovery Channel on fat people trying to beat their disease... the last one was the story of Jackie --- 637 lbs!!!!!! (she couldnt even get off of the bed, so I have no idea how the lady even went to the bathroom!) and a BMI of 103. Getting her in a car was a tragic scene.And when she looses weight, the skin will just hand in folds ,,,,,she'll need plastic surgery. I'm 5-7 and weigh 130. My BMI is normal, 20.4. (You can google BMI and find out how it works.)

The surgeon who operated on this lady said he never operated on anyone with a BMI (body mass index) of more than 100. Your friend doesn't have too many more years left before her skin, should she ever loose the weight, won't be hanging after weight loss...Skin can recoup this stretching for only so long, and the longer she is fat, the less likely it will shrink back to the way it could be.

I wish you luck with your friend, hon. Maybe the best you can do is remain her friend. she will need them.. anyone this heavy needs to be in counseling, and perhaps if you hammer away at that, she might listen to you---and when she is one year older, and out of HS, maybe she will seek the healp she so badly needs... Hon, she is mentally ill, at this time.. good luck, sweetie

Obesity is a "gianormous" problem, and just to ask her to stop eating is like asking a dog not to have 4 legs. ain't gonna happen. Obesity is THE major health problem in the US today.

And kids who are fat, shorten their lives. This generation that you are in will be the first where These fat children will live shorter lives than their parents. a first in the history of this country.
damn yo what kind of friend are you..
Its so obvious..
if you were fat would you not be embarassed to go outside?
Tell her parents to stop bringing food every night.
Get her to know YOUR friends better and the people around you play with..
One person makes fun of her she isnt going to come out for a month..
When you get so big it's hard to do anything. The weight makes it painful to do many activities. Just remember, if she was 115 lbs. she could be a knockout. The person that emerges when the weight is gone may not want to go anywhere with you either. I know from experience. I have transformed myself many times in this life.
i feel u i know what u mean maybe she dosent feel like doing anything because she feels tyred when people are obese they feel tyred and fatige most of the time just talk to her and tell her that u care about her and her health and maybe she can start out slowly like taking a walk every afternoon and at least eating healtier

good luck and cheers for being so faithfull to ur friends it realy talks about what kind of person u are :-)
Well, maybe she doesn't want to do physical activity outdoors because she's afraid of what some people might say (comments, stares, etc). Try buying her some work-out tapes and working out with her in her house. She'll probably be more willing to do it because she won't be worried about being criticized by strangers. About junk food, I don't know. Try offering her some fruit and vegetables once in awhile so she gets used to them. Don't tell her eating junk food is going to make her fatter because it will only upset her or make her more depressed. Just try to show her that eating healthy foods is good for you and tasty, too.

Nyquil taken with Cefprozil?

Hello there. I am on antibiotics (Cefprozil) for an infection and I have a terrible cold and thoart irritation that won't allow me to sleep, could I take Nyquil? Is it ok to take Nyquil while on Cefprozil? It is the only mediciation I have. I've heard that Cefprozil mixed with Alcohol isn't very good though. Any help asap is GREATLY appreciated.
Answer:
DO NOT MIX MEDICINES!!!!!!!... YOU COULD HAVE A VERY BAD REACTION

NyQuil ingredients?

didnt they change an ingredient in it so it could
stay as an over-the-counter-drug
______________________________...
if they did, can you tell me what the ingreidint do..
do any other drugs still have it
Answer:
NyQuil ingredients are:
Acetaminophen-pain reliever
Dextromethorphan-cough suppressant
Doxylamine succinate-antihistamine. It previously contained pseudoephedrine but took that out so it can be sold OTC. Why do you want to know what other products contain pseudoephedrine?
They did change the ingredients in Nyquil and took out the active ingredient that is in Sudafed, which is pseudopherine. Pseudopherine is also a common ingredient in the illegal drug methamphetamine, that is why you have to ask the pharmacist for it. Sudafed is a good nasal decongestant and is what you need for your stuffy nose.

Nyquil and the prostate??

I have had bouts of prostatitis, most recently I have caught a very bad cold. I have been taking nyquil for the past two days and today i noticed it says not to take if you have an enlarged prostate. Anyone know why this is? and if i should discontinue using it? practically every medicine says this.
Answer:
NyQuil has an antihistamine in it and that can exacerbate the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Primarily difficulty urinating.

Nursing Home Laboratory scheduling?

Can anyone tell me where I can find some software where its only purpose is to track our area nursing homes lab scheduling and lab work, appointments etc. this is for my local hospital. We have some software that is so old the company who designed it doesn't exist anymore.
Answer:
wow that is a hard one. usually the doctor I work for designs his own software.

Nursing career path?

I am trying to become a prenatal/neonatal nurse. I have one year of school left from a UC, and am considering taking some classes at a cc to transfer into a good nursing school. What I am worried about is my ability to sustain a cash generating income to get me through life while I'm at a community college. Are there any jobs that I work at while trying to get my credits?
Answer:
The life of a student is a rough one. I relied heavily on financial aid and loans; I think that's what gets most students through. At this point in your life, you can't expect to get a job that pays top dollar. You don't have your degree yet. I would absolutely try to get some financial aid or take out a loan. When you are worried about cash flow, your studies suffer. A part-time job is about all you can handle when you are a full-time student. Try to get a job in a hospital as a nursing assistant or a unit secretary. This will look really good on your resume and get you some medical experience. That's how I worked my way through nursing school. Good luck!
You could get a roommate, if you know someone you can get along with. And you could maybe work parttime as a nurse's aide or in a warehouse...and there are student loans...you can go parttime to school and get fulltime money..poor credit status is not applicable to stop you from getting a loan...keep in mind if you are older, that there is age discrimination in nursing as in other fields..
I don't know where you stand academically, but look at what you have left to be able to become an LPN. You will never have a shortage of jobs to choose from, and it will help you in your studies, as well as giving you the inside scoop when it comes to your career.

Nurses in England?

hi, I am italian and I'm studying nursing in my country...I heard that in England nurses can give medicines to patients...is that true? and how long must a person study to become a nurse in your country (I mean a "general" one)?
thank you very much and I also apologize for my english that is not so good...
Answer:
It takes three or four years of study to become a nurse. You study part in a university and part in the hospital and other health care institutes.
To be able to prescribe drugs, you need to undertake a further period of study. The type of drugs you can prescribe is very restricted. Some nurse prescribers work in a family doctor practice but others work in a hospital setting.

I am a Student Nurse in the UK.
Yes as long as you are training to be a registered nurse, or are a registered nurse you can give medications.
I am now at the end of the course and it is 3 years long altogether.

There are no jobs for us British nurses as the moment mind, so you probably have no chance of getting one...

Nurses and phlebotomists? Why do you not just automatically use a butterfly on people when starting an iv?


Answer:
As a nurse, here are a couple things I know about starting IVs. A butterfly needle is REALLY a needle...and usually quite SHORT! It is meant to be temporary. An IV is actually a flexible catheter inserted into the vein with a needle...and then the needle is taken out and the flexible cathether remains. It then runs a lower risk of becoming dislodged or poking thru the vein. It can stay in vein longer and comes in more sizes and lengths. Some medications are thicker than others and require a larger opening in the vein than a butterfly can provide. Some people are "thicker" than others and require a longer catheter than a butterfly can provide.
A butterfly cannot be used to start an IV. Many people use them as a personal preference and also because you may be a difficult stick.

Numbness while driving a car?

I had the worst feeling yesterday while driving. my whole body got numb for some reason, head, jaws, neck, back of the neck, arms, back, legs felt light, and i started to get light headed, and my body felt light. i started to sweat, and my hands started to shake? i had to pull over and exit the vehicle to stretch. it went away but im afraid this thing might come back again? what the hell is this? anyone.
Answer:
Check in with your doctor! Possible mini stroke!
IT's probably not related to driving. Go see a doctor before you kill yourself or someone else.
if it was hot then you need water
This could be diabetes, MS , or even Vertigo. It could also be a thyroid problem. You need to have labs done.
That doesn't sound good at all. Go to the doctor for that one! Numbness (pins and needles too) are caused by poor circulation. Lightheadedness can also be caused by a lack of blood flow in your brain. But circulation bad enough to cause all of this at once sounds pretty bad to me.

Numbness in my back by my right shoulder blade?

I have had this for about 2 years now. Everytime I lift heavy objects or do excersize. What could this be?
Answer:
You've pinched a nerve no doubt. See a chiropractor.. it could take several visits to get it fully corrected... Find one that will actually get in and do some dirty work on your back instead of using a little instrument that looks like a needle with a rubber ball at the end...

Quit your heavy lifting and excerise for a while and use hot pads. A nice Hot bath with epson salts really helps loosen up muscles that could be pulling your back out of place.

Put 1 cup of epson salts into your running bath water. Make the water as HOT as you can stand it. Add 1/2 of regular salt to the water too.

Lie down in the tub as far as you can go without drowning. (pretty much up till the water is between your nose and mouth.). Stay there for about 20 min. Drain out 1/2 the water. Add more HOT water to fill tub back up. Stay there for another 10 min. The epson salts relax the mucles. (If you were to take it internally - which is not suggested - it would do the same inside your body and give you the runs... it just loosens everything thing up)

Get out and relax on your bed... maybe get a book or watch a show for about 1/2 hour...

pull your chin down to your chest to stretch your neck... Work it from side to side, slowly. If possible, hang your upper torso off your bed to stretch your back... or hang upside down from a bar like you would as a kid.



This will help loosen up those muscles.
Pinched nerve. You might consider seeing a chiropractor.

Numbness hands while sleeping.?

for the past few weeks, i often encountered numbness hands/palm in my sleeping, sometime it feels like a clamp in palm. what causes such feeling?
Answer:
Maybe its because you're sleeping on your hand without realizing it...I do that sometimes and when I wake up its numb and I have to wait a while to move before numbness comes out.
Arthritis.
dont know
it could be hormone related, or the way in which you sleep, if the problme dosnt go away see your doc, but i find my hands go to sleep if i sleep with them above my head
good luck
You're probably sleeping on it. A few times I wake up and my WHOLE body aches to the point I can barely move. So yeah, you're probably just sleeping on it.
u mite sleep on ur hands
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can cause pain and numbness in your hands. Put it in your search engine and take a look at the symptoms. Wear a wrist brace to bed to see if the pain subsides.
it happened to me in a couple times.
maybe it's in my sleeping habit: put my both hands under my head or set my the temperature room too cold.
I agree with the one who said Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as I have this case also. So better see a doctor as sooner as possible for further check up. I am seeing a doctor too and maybe the injection that he applied to me is like "corticosteroid injection" as what I saw on the internet since the language we use here is not English. Three years before I had an inflammation of a tendon (tendinitis) not so sure in English but something like that. Was on rehabilitation for one year both using electric massage, laser, injection and drug prescribed by the doctor. Though I'm not feeling the severe pain anymore, but the numbness of my hands still remains. And I'm still using my own handy electric massage I bought and put poultice when sleep (from the hospital). Massage my hands in the hot tub during my bath. Massage my whole body with my massage chair also. I still have to see my doctor once in a month too.
blood circulation problem, it's the posture that u sleep, u may want to try to change your posture and get your body to adjust it over time to adapt.
