Health - 25 June 2006

Most people, not all, stereotype black people as always being loud and aggressive. That's not true for everyone. People are individuals. Yes I grew up around black people who were this way, which made it difficult for me since I have social phobia. But I am living proof that black people can be socially anxious.

I have not met any black people who have admitted they were socially anxious, but I have met people who were white, asian, or other ethnicities who have. Even in the support groups online, I have not met ONE other black person who openly talks about it. I've asked a few times, and no one black ever responded.

I feel like the only black person suffering from this.

Another thing, why does the black community say black people don't go to counselors? It's bad enough I have social anxiety, being black and socially anxious makes it worse.

For 3 days, I had a runnny nose and sneezing. Then for the next 4 days, I am not sneezing anymore but the only symptoms I have are being very tired, and not being hungry at all for 4 days. Do you think I could have the flu?

Ok, my question is- people say that if you drink chilled/cold water it will help you burn calories because the body burns calories to heat up the body temp from drinking the cold water. If this was true and not saying it isn't, then why do people get more fat in the winter when there body is chilled a couple months of the year in some parts? wouldn't your body burn calories almost all day , and if you go swimming in cold water does that make you lose weight ? just wondering

If I run on a treadmill, I use the 1% incline and a speed of 6.0 mph. Is this the same as running outside at an average speed of 6 mph?

Any suggestions on what this could be? I have had the back pain since Friday and the stomach pain hit in the middle of the night. It is all in the Lower right quadrant. No fever, a little nauseous just don't know if it's serious enough to go to the ER today or ride it out until tomorrow.

I am currently on Yasmin and it is making me have food cravings and really bad bloating and mood swings. I am ready to go off birth control for good. I'm just afraid that doing so will make me gain weight. What are some of the side effects of going off the stuff for good?
