    Padding for yoga (or exercise)

    I need a better mat than the one I am using now. I have had it for a few years but it seems like it is losing the fullness of it quicker than I thought. What is a good (thick) mat to use?

    Flat stomach

    I know that you can not get that picture perfect flat stomach from just doing a sit-up or a few, but what actually makes it? How long would it take to do and what type of exercises would you need to invest time in? Mine is not terribly bad but it could be better.

    Acupuncture for pets?

    I have read that this can work for cats but what about other animals, either those domesticated like a dog or farm animals? What can you do for a large animal that has issues?

    Sharing a doctor

    My husband is against sharing the same family doctor which seems odd to me. The doctor can not tell either of us about the other without permission. What would make him worry this much?

    Ankle Instability

    Does this normally happen when you constantly roll your ankles? Someone on a website I visit mentioned they had it done four weeks ago and are just now getting back to walking around (but are still on crutches).

    Meloxicam

    Our other kitty managed to get into a tumble with what we think was an opossum the other night. We took her to the vet after being checked out (as her barely there cut abscessed). She is okay and recovering now at home, quarantined from the other cats and kids but it seems that Meloxicam is...

    oatmeal bath

    I know this is good for some minor skin irritations but what else can it be used for? I know Aveeno makes a product like this for babies but when you do it yourself is there anything different about it?

    sneezy kitty

    Does anyone here have a Siamese cat, or have you had one before? I swear our newest little one is all about sneezing. We checked with the vet and nothing is wrong with her, perfect health but she does sneeze quite a bit. Is this breed known to be a little more sensitive than others?

    mindsets and mental jumps

    Are mental issues contagious? We all know that misery loves company but sometimes I swear mental freakouts by people that stress far to much over tiny things seems to be contagious. It is just a mindset?

    bites inside of mouth

    I am sure others have done this before too and it is always the worst pain I can think of that we never expect. For those who have this issue a good bit (like me after dental work) is there any way to prevent this or at least take sometime to help with healing? Last night in my sleep I did this...

    How do you protect yourself?

    I know some women always carry something with them when they travel alone, even for a short distance. I do but right now I do not have a weapon's permit so it is just a knife (but a sharp one). We have recently had a few calls to our home line which always start out saying they are from our...

    bone graft

    I know two people who have had this done and I guess I just do not understand it. The two people I know could not be more different, age is not an issue, family genes as far as either know, etc. Why is this normally done?

    pneumonia shots

    I walked into the doctor's office today thinking I would end up getting a flu shot and a pneumonia shot. It seems the latter is used only in specialty cases which is kind of a bummer. The doctor said most of the time it is only given if a patient is over the age of 65 or has serious immune...

    Hip pain cause

    I have no idea what I managed to do to myself this weekend but I am in some sore shape today. Most of yesterday I slept because my loving husband gave me the flu but I have had issues with my hips lately. I should not have this problem this young, what causes hip pain? I swear it feels like it...

    breast density

    I read an article talking about breast density and how this can change over time along with mammograms not always picking up because cancer and bone the density show the same way (all white). I am not of the age to get one yet but I am curious, how else can you check for something like this...

    Lasik

    Has anyone here had this? I am really thinking about it as I am tired of toting around (or losing) my glasses. I barely need them. Only one eye has an issue and it is fairly minor. How expensive is Lasik?

    stomach diseases

    How common are these? I have two different friends right now with pretty much nothing in common (but me) who are both dealing with some type of stomach disease which their doctors are trying to rule out. I have never known anyone to have one before so I am quite clueless here.

    A bad habit

    I quit smoking years ago and I have also cut back on salt, sugar and fatty goods. What is the worst bad habit others here have had and cut back on? How did you do it? Mine took a great deal of willpower and a few extra attempts to keep from falling off the wagon.

    hydrotherapy

    I bet most people have done this before without even realizing it. I would love to get my hands on a place that would allow me 24 hour access to a pool. We might have to wait for the next house but who knows, maybe we will get lucky. Does anyone else practice hydrotherapy?
