Health - 28 June 2006

Me and my friend were talking today about soda......

I think the normal stuff is better for you, my mum doesn't like me drinking the diet stuff because she says the artificial sweeteners in it are bad for you and they haven't been tested properly and they might cause cancer.

But my friend says the diet stuff is better because it doesn't rot your teeth and it doesn't make you fat like regular stuff does. But I'm pretty sure my dentist said that diet soda gives you cavities just as much as regular soda - is that true? (mind you, she's never had any and I've had 4)

What one is better for you? I know both of them are bad for you really and we should drink water, but all kids drink soda!

Why do people use a service like this for medical advice?

Especially about pregnancy and the like. Why would you ever, ever trust some random online person to help you with a medical situation?

feels like passing out AFTER I eat?

For almost a month now just about everytime I eat I feel dizzy, lightheaded, and feel like passing out. I get headaches and end up sleeping anywhere from half and hour up to 5 or 6 hours. I have been checked for diabetes and do not have it. My fasting blood sugar level has been 80 and as low as 79 (being tested). Once after eating a turkey sandwich my level was 104 and I had the above symptoms. The highest I've seen my blood sugar has been 127 right after eating and I felt like I was going to pass out. I am overweight, it's a genetic condition. Also, diabetes runs in my family. I've had a glucose resistence test recently and my level was 79. I'm almost 35 yrs old and I am 5'5".. I'm just wondering why I feel like this only after I eat. I have noticed in the past few days that I feel a little light headed in between meals. Any suggestions would be helpfull. I am going to see my dr this afternoon.

Am I the only one who has this problem?

Any time I got out anywhere fun I seem to be anxious to get it over with and come home. I have a good time when I am out but find it hard to just be spontaneous. I have to depend on public transportion so I have to time everything by it to avoid waiting forever. On my days off I got out early and seem to be in by 1 or 2 in the afternoon with no desire to go out again. I can't even go anywhere on my work days although I don't work till late afternoon and have the whole half day free, it seems just making a run to the store exhausts me and the thought of coming home and having to go back out to work later fills me with dread. I like to be on the go but need to spend alot of time at home too so if I go someplace before going to work, I feel like my free time has gone too fast. I know other people who are out running around all day doing stuff and then go to work in the afternoon or evening but I don't seem to have the energy to do it. Am I the only one who feels like this?

Can I go to the doctor myself?

I'm 14 years old, in the UK. Usually if I go to the doctor my mum takes me.

I've got bulimia and I've had it for 2 years and I can't stop it but now I know it's really bad for me and I went to the dentist yesterday and he says my teeth are all rotted from being sick all the time and I need loads of fillings and stuff. And he said if it's done that much damage to my teeth it's probably doing damage inside my body as well and I had to go to the doctor and get checked out.

But I can't tell my mum about it. She always said I was fat and that's why I started making myself sick and she still says I'm fat now sometimes. I don't want her to know about it, but I'm scared that I've done something really bad to my insides and I want to go to the doctor, so can I go by myself? Will he be able to tell my mum if I go?
