I tired all different kinds of BC pills, and the patch and the ring. All do the same thing. It does come back after I go off the pill, but my periods are so bad, I can’t tolerate it.
Are their any herbs that enhance a libido?







If family of two have health insurance, and one of them decide to use it for couple medical procedures will insurance policy premium go up?

Please advice.

Thanks.







Also please, does the weather affect arthritis?







Is alternative therapy getting the "short end of the stick" ? Do you see a bias ?







I think depression is an irrational feeling and if you find the cause you can usually drag it into the light of day and see that its not worth the suffering BUT if finding that cause is difficult is it better to find a way to soothe the symptoms seeing as the cause is irrational anyway?
Is it worth the effort to find the cause?
OR should you just let them walk it off for a few days with no help at all?







I know COBRA is available for many, but it is very expensive to keep up and runs only for a limited period. Questions like this have been asked before and those against governement supported health care just accused those who didn’t have health insurance as lazy losers. But with the economy crashing, the scenario has changed. If you aren’t employed anymore and have no income and little savings, what are you doing for health insurance?







I came down with a particularly nasty strain of the flu that landed me in the hospital with my throat swollen shut. The doctor put me on Tamiflu 3 days ago…. and I haven’t been able to sleep since. Every time I try to lie down, my mind suddenly starts racing and I can’t sleep. I know that insomnia is one of the side effects…. is there a way to counter it? Has anyone ever taken it and dealt with the same problem?







I just turned 26 and I’m wondering at what age I should trade in my regular moisturizer with sunscreen for an anti-aging one with sunscreen and a night anti-aging moisturizer.

How old do you have to be to develop colon cancer?




I’m 22 years old and I’m having some problems. I have streaks of blood in my stools and I;m having a hard time going to the bathroom. I keep getting constipated. I eat fiber rich oatmeal and fiber bars almost everyday and I still have issues. I’m constantly bloated and gassy. Could this be colon cancer?







i have rosacia and i have tried perscription medications with no sucess,has anyone tried any homeopathic remedies that helped them?







The proposed health care reform will define which doctors are "meaningful users" of the system, and I was wondering if alternative health care providers (chiropractors, massage therapists, etc) will be considered "meaningful users".







I have rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease. I’ve noticed the joint pain is so much worse right before my menstrual cycle. Has anyone else experienced this? I assume it’s from the changing hormone levels. I have little to no pain during the rest of the month.
My doctor says there should be no relation, but it occurs every month like clockwork. He’s referring me to a rheumatologist, but I still think there is a link here.




Can staying up late every night develop insomnia?




I have been drinking a 6 hour power shot at 11:30 each night for about a week. I go to sleep at 3-4. If I continue staying up late, will insomnia develop? I’m studying and doing homework for school, but I need to know if I have a chance of developing insomnia due to my need for studying and staying up late.







My grandmother is from Malaysia and she is living with us in California (since November 2007). She has a green card. Her health has been deteriorating and she’s been getting these terrible headaches. I really want to take her to see a doctor, but the price would be astronomical without health insurance. Is she eligible for medicare/medicaid/medical? If not, what are some other options? I’m sorry if I sound ignorant or uneducated about this, but honestly, I really don’t know anything about this. Any help I can get is very much appreciated.
