My 18 month old niece has a dark skin tone but her face has developed these light color patches on it.

Somebody here posted something re. your own weight at birth being suggestive of what your own baby will weigh. Any truth to that?

If your mother had an easy or hard time with her pregnanc(y/ies), is it suggestive of any ease or difficulty for you?

Does the father’s family history of birth have any influence on what’s likely to happen to you?

Etc, etc.

Am curious about both old wives’ tales and actual fact…

There is a debate whether or not ADHD is a disease or not. My question is, if it is not a disease are children being over medicated by being diagnosed to quickly?

I am a 33 year old female. I have been diagnosed with heart palpitations. The doc mentioned atrial fibrillation. Ive studied the issue and I guess it has never been coaught on an ECG. My heart rate tends to be fast. I had a heart cath and the heart itself is physically fine. I suffer from sporatic angina attacks and TIA’s. My bp tends to run around 130/99. I used to be an athlete that trained on a high level. I was 1995 National Champ. I had a paramedic say once that that could be the problem. I dont know what to look for as far as the problem goes. What does it sound like to you and what should be my next step in treatment. I see my doc tomorrow about my BP, only the nurses seem concerned. The docs keep saying they r going to put me on medication but never do. This BP has been this way for about 6 years now and is getting worse.

Yeah this kid on men’s health (where this is) said he was 9 and his penis is 9.5 (it’s obvious he’s a troll)
I want to answer this question but I need to know the following information to answer it the way I want to.

Answers are nice. Thanks :3
Thanks for the answers and
Johnny it’s obvious that he’s lying (why I called him a troll)
Hey yars!!

But can they give me a pt test if I am only 1 month pregnant? Please no sexism, pregnant women can do certain jobs that need to be done. I will flag you for saying women in the military should not get pregnant and it is better off without them, my family has been military for generations and you will be picking on the wrong female, I’ll tell you right now

Okay, serious health question: just before Thanksgiving, I contracted a double pink eye infection. I went to the clinic, and they prescribed me Tobramycin eye drops, which I was instructed to take 4 times a day (2 drops in each eye per time) until my eyes cleared up. And they did completely in about three days.

Then, just around December 1st, a more mild version of pink eye, or perhaps an irritation from something, returned in my left eye. Using more of the Tobramycin drops, the redness cleared in about 1.5 days.

A little over a week later, my conjunctivitis returned once again in my right eye. By now, all of my eye drops were gone, and when I called in to get the physician’s input, she instructed me to get a refill of the same prescription. It took about 4 days to clear completely.

Again, on December 22, the swelling and redness returned in my right eye again. At this point, I threw out ALL of my makeup. I now had to go in to see the doctor again, and she prescribed me a new drop formula called NEO/POLY/GRA OP SOL, which I was to take 2 drops to eyes 4 times a day for 5-7 days. Though this had cleared up by Christmas, I hadn’t worn any makeup during the 7 day period in which I was taking the drops.

You thought I was done? Ha, not even close. I woke up this morning with (you guessed it!) PINK EYE! This time in the right one again. I don’t understand it. I cleaned and disinfected everything, I’ve been careful not to touch my eyes, I’ve thrown all my makeup out (I haven’t worn any at all for two weeks). WHY DOES IT KEEP COMING BACK???

I think that I may have an anxiety disorder and in hopes of helping me make a pre-physician visit self diagnosis, I was hoping that I could hear a few stories from others who have suffered with anxiety. What kinds of symptoms did you have that made you think you might have problematic anxiety? What success have you had with any medications that your doctor has enrolled you in? Thanks in advance!!

The past several days I have been eating 0-2 meals a day and drinking about 15-25 cups of water a day. I drink so much water that I usually don’t feel hungry. Is this healthy? And the meals I eat are usually fairly light like maybe a chicken wrap.I am only 15 and I am 6 foot and 188 pounds.

I’ve been working out very hard 3 days a week, 1 hour each session with a trainer, using machines and free weights. I can’t afford to continue. In your opinion, do you believe I can get similar results at home using basic handweights and exercises?
