I have always had an "iron" stomach. Over the last year, however, I have frequent (i.e.- once or twice per month) stomach aches. Sometimes these are accompanied by diarrhea. Only occasionally do I have vomiting symptoms. I assumed the flu or a virus and set an appointment with the doctor, when it happened twice in two weeks -- along with my children being sick. The doctor said it was most likely a mild case of food poisoning.

I've had food poisoning before. If this was it, it was definitely "mild" comparatively. It is hard for me to believe I'm getting food poisoning so frequently, though. I do eat a lot of microwaved lunches, at work (i.e.- leftovers heated up). I've been doing that for years, though.

I read up on food illnesses, and there is usually an 8 hour or 12 hour gestation period for many viral and bacterial problems. I am pretty conscious of what I eat, too. I make sure I heat things up very well. Finally, I pitch refrigerated leftovers after 3-4 days. Help?

I'm feeling completely lousy right now because I just found out that I got a D on a psychology exam. There are only three exams in total in the class- and these three tests make up 100% of our grade.

There are a couple issues I am having with this whole situation. First of all, I am a transfer student, and I was hoping that my first test at this new school would end on a more positive note. I feel like this was my chance to prove that I belong here and that perhaps I can exceed people's expectations of me. Second of all, I am a psychology major, which makes the whole "expectations" schpeel a little more prominent.

I feel like despite almost 14 years of schooling, the way I have dealt with failure (in the academic realm primarily) has never changed - I always let it linger and manifest until it eats me up inside which makes it incredibly difficult to focus on anything else. I feel like these are ... well, feelings that I can't let go right away, and it's painful to deal with.

Say i am hungry: well say its time for dinner or lunch... and I have to eat 1 cheeseburger, 1 burrito, mashed potatoes and gravy, 1 bowl of mixted veges (lettuce, tomatos, carrots, broccoli, colyflower, bell pepper) and a bowl of mixed fruit (orange slices and grape fruit slices)

Does it matter what I eat first? If i eat the junk (cheesebuger and borrito (since im hungry) is it going to take all the nutrience from that and then when i get to the veges and fruit it doesnt care for that as much)?? or should i go for the protein first? does it matter?

I have the name of a Yahoo group, but when I search for the group so that I can join, I can't find it. Are groups unpublished? And if so, how does one join?

I kind of have an idea, like, it empties our mids of junk, or somethinglike that, but has anything deeper than that been found? I'm asking for scientific answers here. I guess I'll take some philosphocal ones, too, but they won't be chosen as best answers. And is it true that only intellectual people dream in color?

i have depression, from my dads side of the family genetics, and my mom doesnt understand it. shes supportive, but i always feel like im hurting her. I just never know how to explain it to her, and I know its hard for her to watch me suffer.

sometimes i even get angry that she cant understand, and then i get angry at myself for getting upset with her. its like poison. i hate the way i react and respond, and i hate the hold depression has on me.

Does anyone have stories or experience with people you love dealing with depression? what did they do to ease your worry, or what could they have done?

What can I do for my loved ones while I'm trying to get better (going through countless medications and costing a fortune for dr.s bills, ive been in treatment for 3 years, and it doesnt seem to be going anywhere)

I get these clear bumps that itch like crazy and then I open them and they keep filling up for like three days, then dry up. Always on the same foot and they never spread (to other body parts or other foot). What in the heck are they? They are on the outside bottom of my foot, or on outside of my toes (rarely in between, but sometimes).
