Health - 17 June 2006

At Nine years old, I found out I was allergic to garlic. Doctors I went to could not figure out why my body rejected garlic. When garlic hits my system it acts as a spong, I become dehydrated, weak, light headed and very ill. I will get sick (vomit) till my body gets rid of every bit of garlic that is in my system. Yes, it is a burden sometimes. Most of my favorite foods has garlic in them. When grocery shopping, I have to check on the labels of different foods (ingredients) to make sure there is no garlic substances otherwise I may have to face the consequences and end up in the hospital. Other reactions are, fever, hot sweats, chills. It can take up to 2 weeks before my body fully recovers. I have studied other web sites (Allergies to Garlic) and viewed other people's reactions. Not one- experienced the same symptoms as me. What do you make of this? { My Family jokes with me and calls me a Vampire....LOL Which is quite amusing.} Do you know anyone who has these same reactions?

I was told I could swish salt and water in my mouth a few times a day after the day of my wisdom tooth surgery,however since I have been doing this I have an starting to get an aching pain in my jaw(just like last time when I got dry socket),however not as bad. If I stop doing the swishing and spitting will my ache go away? Meaning maybe I didn't give myself enough time for my gum to clot.

I exercise an hour a day.....but sometimes, I just don't want to. I know you're not supposed to watch tv when your working out, but I have to. Do you know of any sites that show/teach quick workout moves I can do while watching tv? (my treadmill is not near a tv.) Does turbo jam really live up to all the fuzz about it?

My knees are killing me lately. I run a lot and about 3 years ago I was playing basketball and I tripped and dislocated my left knee. I went to the docter and found that I had torn my miniscus(spelling), had patella femeral(spelling)syndrome, and had a mushroom shaped bone growing out of another bone in addition to dislocating that knee. I was on crutches forever and went to physical therapy and got a brace and medicine. I wear my brace every time I run and take my pain medicine when I have to, and it hasn't hurt until lately. And now my right knee is hurting too. The last time I went to the docter he just upped the dosage! I don't want to depend on pills for the rest of my life but I don't want to give up running!! I already quit the basketball team. Is there anything I can to do to stop the pain or at least ease it some that doesn't have anything to do with pills?

I have experienced continued nausea for about 2 weeks now, I am always hungry it seems with weakness mixed in with the hunger feeling. I am always very sleepy. I was positive that I was pregnant and purchased a home test but the result was instantly negative. I'm at a loss. Anybody have any similar experiences? Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

Batman jokes aside, how can you find out if you were breast fed without asking anyone in your family?
