How many calories does a pizza without bread have?

I'm on a low carb diet, but I absolutely love pizza. As a compromise, I will usually buy a pizza and eat everything but the bread. This last time the pizza I had was:

Large pizza from Dominos
Extra Cheese
Pepperoni
Pineapple
Jalapeno

I want to keep track of how many calories I eat so I want to know around how much this meal has.

How do I keep the back of my earring from cutting into my ear?

I got my ears repierced because the first time the backing was cutting into the back of my ear. Its happening again after 3 weeks but last time this happened because i put the backing on way too tight. The only thing I can think of is its from me sleeping on that side. What I need to know is how to keep this from happening and how to allow the back of my ear to heal properly without having to take out my earring until it heals or else they will close up.

How can I relieve the severe pain after getting bloodwork done?

It's been several days now and my arm is literally killing me. I can't put weight on it, bend it, or press it without severe pain in my elbow where the needle went in. The same thing happened last time I got bloodwork, and it lasted over 6 weeks. Is this normal, and how can I stop it from happening again? I fear my arm is damaged somehow, and I hope that isn't the case. PLEASE HELP.

Roadside service question?

I quit driving a car a long time ago, but I recently acquired a used electric wheelchair/scooter. I had new batteries installed, and it seems to work just fine, but I have been wondering about being stranded somewhere by a mechanical failure or accident. A search with Google turned up at least one firm offering roadside assistance for stranded electric scooters in the UK, but I'm in Arizona. I'm curious to know if anyone is aware of such a service in the Phoenix area. Something as simple as a flat tire could be a disaster for me, as I am no longer able to walk. Thanks.
To Charley's Son: Thanks, but the last time I bet on the outcome of a trial was in my first year at law school. Pointless, anyway... I have Stage III metastatic papillary carcinoma---thyroid cancer---which has spread into my chest. It will be a while before the Court might hear the case, and I'm not doing any long-range planning at the moment. If I'm still around, though, I'll be watching for the outcome.

How do I stop my mouth from bleeding after getting 2 baby teeth pulled?

I'm getting 2 baby teeth pulled soon. Last time I got 4 baby teeth pulled and it bled for 6 hours. The teeth are the 3rd teeth from the top middle. How do I stop it from bleeding? Any ideas? The bleeding is the only part of it I really care about because I hate when my mouth bleeds. Also, do you know how long it should bleed for? Thanks.

Question about accutane?

I have had persistent acne since I was in about 5th grade. I am a senior in high school now. I was on minocycline and tetracycline at different times, and I have been on Bactrim for the past year. Bactrim has definitely been the most effective treatment so far. It has cleared my face up to a certain degree. I still end up with little patches here or there consistently. Few pop up, go away, then more come in a different spot. I don't think I'm as consistent with taking the bactrim as I could be though.
Even though my acne has gotten much better than previously, I am still so tired of having to deal with never having a completely clear face. It has been such a long time.. I now have plenty of acne scars, which is just awesome... and I don't want to continue. I just want to have a perfectly clear face, for once.
I went to the dermatologist about a month ago, and she set me up to start going on accutane a month from that. The last time I had a visit to the derm, she was the one that had suggested I should try accutane. I have been pondering it for months, and this last time I decided I would do it. My derm said that basically being on Bactrim for a long time could be just as risky as being on Accutane, so I mine as well try something new & more effective. So, I am supposed to be starting accutane in 10 days. I have to get bloodwork done a few days beforehand.
There is, however, still time for me to back out of it. I was planning to go get bloodwork done tomorrow morning, but I have been reading really negative reviews and it's really making me second guess my decision- once again.
I just want to know if you think it would be worth it and what your personal experiences have been. I'm afraid of the long-term side effects.

Thanks(: !
