I am 22 yr old female and I always feel tired, not sleepy but like de-energized. People always mention on how tired I look, or unmotivated....... and Im getting tired of it. I work out everyday and I eat healthy, and I sleep 7-8 hours a day. What am I doing wrong or what can I do or take to have more energy??

I'm easily getting frustrated to some small stuff, and easily give up when things getting a mess. It makes me don't feel like wanna going on....i just lack of strength, motive and spirit to live my life. I feel like its a burden to live everday...

Ok, I can take misspelling of words and misusage. I can take the questions about love over and over again. What I cannot tolerate are questions on sick children. Are there really ignoratn parents that truly do not know when to call a doctor. Even adults who should go, ask on this site instead. Why not go to the doctro?

I am not on my period but I am bleeding (not heavily). I have read on the internet that this can be a sign of cancer. I will visit my doctor but I just wanted anyone to share their knowledge and experience.

Additional details: I am 23-years-old and pregnancy is definitely not a possbility. I do not take any oral contraceptives.

Thanks guys.

My uncle is overweight, he cannot see or get a good grasp of his penis.
When he tries to urinate he wets himself or the area around him. And he refuses to sit down saying the urine just gets all over him.

I was wondering if there is a device (hopefully something that is just a tube) to help him, because right now he uses toilet tissue tubes and we're hoping there's something out there that he can have and carry around with him. Something reusable.

It's very embarassing for him and uncomfortable for those of us around him who have to deal with the aftermath of spillage and (huge)wet spots on his pants.

My doctor did an insulin level test and said my level was too high. He called it hyperinsulinemia. He said it is a precursor to diabetes and recommended I start metformin (glucophage) to help the insulin level come back down to normal range. And also the medicine would help the insulin work better. I queston using a diabetes medicine if I do not have diabetes. He said it was to prevent it from getting worse. Does anyone have additional information?

I do not really understand diabetes and how insulin works. Info on that would be helpful as well.

I notice that in areas of the country where people exercize more ,for example near the ski mountains, there seems to be much fewer people with "gland problems" or a "fat genes". I also notice that there are far fewer people with these "medical conditions" in foreign countries where they eat healthier and in more moderate amounts.

My grandparents live on their own in a city of two million people. Both are in their 70s and physically mobile, but Grandpa has very poor vision and can only navigate in familiar places. Grandma is strong-willed, has a lot of energy, but has been living with hearing impairment for over a decade. They fight every so often, with Grandpa a silent but increasingly childish person, and Grandma always perceiving herself as the oppressed. They just celebrated their 50th anniversary. Grandma always said they'd divorced if they were not Christians, and would often talk about her abused childhood. It's been going on like this for as long as I remember. I think both have a high risk for depression. But it's Asia. Grandchildren don't ask grandparents to see mental doctors. No one does that. What should I do?

My doc just told me I should avoid all salt. I live in the desert and they say to use salt to keep the electrolytes in balance. I also happen to like things a little salty. What should I do?
