I went to get blood and the lady had a hard time finding my veins. She poked me a few times until she tryed in my wrist. I used to never have problems giving blood. Anyone know what can do that?

Everyone has been so kind to answer my other questions about my brothers carotid blocking and possible heart blockage, but he had his last Dobutamine stress test yesterday and they say that his next appt is July 18th for follow-up. He has not heard any of the prior test results, only knows carotid is blocked, but not ultrasound results, or the echocardiogram. They say his legs are in really bad shape, which is why he went in in the first place and of course they found the carotid problem, so that and the heart testing took priority. I realize yesterdays tests wont be ready for a few days, but long before July 18th, so why wont they do anything before then, He is in so much pain, I just dont understand. Thank you again for all you patience and help. Marti

Will I have to have an operation on my back to eliminate this pain?
The discs in my back are pressing on the nerves that run down my legs causing numbness.

I always hear that women should do high reps with lower weights so they tone up but not bulk up, but noone ever says how many reps. What is considered a high rep number? and how many sets? also, when toning, should you only work out one or two part parts a day? I have been doing my entire body everyday. My fiance only does one part at a time like shoulders monday, biceps tuesday, etc... which one of us is doing it right?

My food scientist friend from Europe tells me that high fructose corn syrup is not added to most European foods and I've heard that it's not ALLOWED in Canadian foods! Are my friends yanking my chain? Is the USDA allowing the food industry to pack in more calories into our food with a concentrated sugar or what? Are US foods more sugary because Americans like to get fat or is there some conspiracy to make us all fat so that we buy more food to feed our artificially increased appetites?

I have been trying for about a year to get a flat stomach and firm thighs and arms. I walk constantly, at least 2 miles a day and have been for year.because People say walking will help me loose weight, how come it doesnt work for me? I think it might be becuase of the way i eat, I usually eat two or three meals a day. But i can't help form eating snacks. And whenever i do eat i jsut workout more. Does the special k diet really work, and if it does it only works the stomach doesnt it? What are some things i can eat to help me loose weight?

I have been eating healthier and exercising more and drinking alot of water and juices. But I'm not budging on the scales. I have been doing nutritional research alot and they say that if you eat 5 to 6 small meals a day that your body will have more energy and not store fat. So in tern will that start to burn the fat that you already have stored? It would make sense. Like how your body will retain water especially when it is not getting it everyday and enough of it,and stores it because your bosy goes into survival mode. So won't that be the same truth to eating? Because we all know that if we dont eat enough we will not lose the weight, which I have discovered myself. So if your body is storing fat is is in survival mode, or we eat too large of a meal and your body doesnt need it all so it stores it as fat in the body for later. So anyway, back to my question, if you start to eat more smaller meals a day will your body burn off the stored fat? Not be in survival mode anymore?

I know many people feel ambivalent about this question. But will it lead to blindness, or will the lenses tear? Just wondering.

My daughter just turned 7 this month and has all her baby teeth. There isn't even any loose!!! She does all the normal stuff like brush her teeth twice a day. She just got some more molars in this month too. Should that maybe push things around and loosen them up.
Every dentist says that it will happen when it happens but it still makes me alittle nervous.
Thanks for any help or advice.

I have a friend that goes to work everyday w/out panties on, and her fellow co workers have come to know about it. everytime I see her, she always jokes about how the guys try to say she smells like tuna, but I notice that she really DOES have an odor. She thinks its a joke to go to work w/out panties, but I think she's going to get into serious trouble. I've tried talking to her before, but again, she laughs it off. What should I do?
