Health - 19 July 2006

I am 24 years old and my doctor did simple blood work on me. I received my results to find out that my triglycerides are 463 (so high they couldn't determine my bad cholesterol) and my good cholesterol is 30. My physician told me that I need to have my cholesterol lowered to at least 200 by six weeks, but I am clueless as where to start. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am trying to start eating healthier and drinking only water....BUT if I drink water in the morning before lunch time--it REALLY upsets my stomach. Juices are full of sugar and carbs....but are they still healthy to drink in the mornings ( apple juice is my fav ) or is there something else that I could drink? (not a big fan of milk either) This morning I had a bagle a banana and a glass of apple juice....sounds healthy enough to me.....what do ya think?

Any suggestions as to why my period came 9 days earlier this month? Been through a little more stress than lately, could this have effected it? Sexually active, on birth controll and take it regularly ever morning, should I be worried about being pregnant?

I tore my PCL in my right knee about 2 months ago, it's healing good enough, although a little too slow for my liking. I didn't have to have surgery because it healed so well but I still limp for a bit and I can't straighten it all the way yet. I usually put a pillow underneith my knee or calf when I lay down on my stomach at night.
I plan on getting back into a trade job in the future, I enjoy the workouts when I get into working my butt off. I worked for a General Contractor for years so I'm versitile but I am worried about getting out there and hurting myself for good.
What I wanted to know is will I be able to go running or workout in the future once it heals all the way?

Eat five bananas every day and drink 3 glasses of low fat milk. You should not do that forever since you are lacking vitamins in this diet. You should lose up to 2 pounds every day doing this.
this was on a anorexic website...... isnt 5 bananas plus milk like over 1,000 calories?? (200 each PLUS milk??)
here is the link..........http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/ana100/

I'm having my period but I have a swimming party tonight... could I like wear a pad there and take it off in the bathroom and then while I'm swimming not have a pad on.. I can't wear tampons. But is it true that you don't bleed in the water? Then I could bring another pad to wear on my way home??? Do you think people would notice I'm having my period? I'd stay in the water most of the time..

would that work?

thanks for your help!

serious answers only or you'll get reported..

When I have an extremely bad, bad attack my doctor has put me on steroids. It does give you some relieve and time to rest.
NOW, I have become allergic to bug bites. Which means a hospital trip. I have an Epipen to inject myself. They treat me at the hospital and I am given Methylprednisolone, 21 pills for 6 days.

The wonderful thing is I almost feel like a normal person taking them. My COPD is settled. I can do normal every day things. I can breathe without my oxygen. I know you develop the "moon" shaped face and gain weight from them. The way my disability is at this point, why would I care if I gain weight?

Please let me know...................................
