Health - 18 August 2006

i haven't been running at all lately, only walking for 30-45 minutes every day and weightlifting for about 3 weeks or so. i can start training for the 5k on or after august 30, which gives me about a month. i'd like to do it in under 30 minutes, is it possible to do so between now and then? i am a 20-year-old female, if that matters. any tips would be appreciated...

Has anyone else experienced such a problem, and if so, what was it, and how were you treated?

I have never even kissed a girl before---so it's nothing sexually related ...but yesterday I did smoke weed, and I shared a pipe to smoke it with my friend. First of all is this related to sharing the pipe with him as our saliva came in contact most likely? I am a bit of a hypocondriac so often times I try to convince myself that I have something when most often I don't. Also up until about 3 weeks I had always brushed my teeth once a day...but in the last 3 weeks I have been brushing anywhere between 2-5 times a day. Is my tongue irritated from the additional brushing all of sudden or is it related to sharing the pipe? There's no way this could be herpes is there? I mean would herpes show up after only a day? If it's not herpes what is it....open up your own mouths, and look closely and tell me if there are tiny red dots---not many just check if you have them, cuz then I'll know that's supposed to be there.

Air fresheners can work by using a nerve-deadening chemical that interferes with our sense of smell or by coating nasal passage with an oily film, and include chemicals like formadehyde, naphthalene, xylene, butane gas, cresol, ethanol and phenol. Solid deodorizers include the pesticide paradichlorobenzene; Aerosol air fresheners release chemicals as tiny particles which can be inhaled deeply into lungs and transferred into the blood stream. Plug in air fresheners break chemicals into even smaller particles and produce VOC's.

These are all classified as carcinogens and/or neurotoxins. Have you ever inspected your home for similar toxins?

How do you stop caring what others people think of you? I always seem to care and worry about what others think of me how do I stop that. When someone says something negative to me I dwell on it for long time. How do I stop caring about this little stuff.

Ok heres my problem.... Kjursten, my dd, is almost 8. For the last
several months she has been "throwing up"(for lack of a better term)
every time we go out to eat, anywhere. She is not doing it
intentionally, and its not for attention, and she is NOT belemic. I
think she gets so nervous she starts thinkin about it and worries
herself into getting sick. Do yo have any ideas on how to calm her or
help her? I am at my wits end. I have tried everything, if we can get
her mind off of it, sometimes she will be ok. But it usually doesn't
work. She does not do it at home, but everywhere else we go. I know
the most obvious sounding answer may be attention, but I tell you its
not, ok if you can help, please do, i am open to all your suggestions.

I am worried she will do it at school,:>(

I've heard many different things about protein. Some people say you can't digest more then 30 grams of protein a day. Other people say get at least 1 gram for every pound you weigh. Other people say something different entirely? Do I buy the protein powder/shakes or just eat lots of eggs, peanut butter, fish and meat? What should I do. I've been working out seriously for about 6 months now, although on and off I've been lifting for about 4 years. I see huge results, but I wonder if I could get even better results or am I just being greedy. I eat lots of meat and peanut butter with some eggs in my diet. How does that sound?

Like most women, I find myself experimenting with the miriad of endless workout options available to see which suits me best. These are three I currently own, or am thinking of using. IF you have experience with at least one of these, what is your opinion? Did you use it for the length of time recommended? If so, what were your results? Did you vary any of the diet recommendations?

Here are the three:
*Tae Bo
*Michael Thurman's 6 Week Body Makeover
*Core Basics Latin Dancing DVD

Bottom line, do any of these work for you? I have a fair amount of weight to lose, and this isn't just for 5 or 10 vanity pounds. Thoughtful input only, please! Thanks!!

My mom told me not to wear them until I wasn't a virgin anymore, now my daughter has started her period and she's on a swim team. You can't wear pads in the water, but I'm not sure if she should wear tampons.

Tonight I was treated in the ER for an extreme migraine. They gave me 4mg Dilaudid and Zofran. It made me feel completely better, but it made me really itchy. Before I left they checked me for a rash to see if I was allergic, but I don’t have a rash. Now at home I am so itchy and scratching so much, especially my face my skin is starting to get sore.
Also I can’t stop throwing up. They gave me Zofran for nausea at the hospital. My headache is completely gone, but I keep running to the bathroom to vomit. I don’t understand why I’m feeling this way. I’ve been sipping on ginger ale since that usually helps, but it's not. I’m going nuts!
Has anyone experienced any of this and have home remedies (since it’s late and stores are closed) to feel better?
Thanks!
