Health - 8 October 2006

I am 21 years old, 5'9", 125 pounds. I began suffering from pretty significant episodes of hypoglycemia about 6 weeks ago after getting kind of dehydrated while rollerblading. I didn't drink any soda for about 2 days because I was drinking so much water and just didn't want anything sweet. The problems began when I tried to drink a Powerade. I went to the doctor and he confirmed with several tests that I was having issues with my blood sugar levels, but he wasn't sure what the cause was. He said it could be anything from my poor diet (6-18 sodas a day) to hormone problems to a tumor and referred me to a specialist who was scheduling appointments about a month in advance. He said in the meantime to keep trying to avoid sugar. I am still having problems frequently and if anything, they seem to be getting worse. What should I do until I can see the specialist and hopefully find out what the problem is and fix it.

Is it possible to choke on a ice cube, or would it melt all the way before you could breath again?

Splenda and sucralose are the same thing and I noticed that my family and I have been having problems with diarrhea when consuming these products. I just read some testimonials on a website called www.mercola.com and I found them very disturbing. I was just wondering if there were others who noticed these same problems.

I want to know what the condition is called, and how it is caused (besides from excess sugar consumption, I haven't had that much sugar for ages), and what is the process of 'curing' it.

Sometimes when I get crappy news, am devastated about something, etc. I literally can't function for a day or two. I waste a day or two just sleeping, reading, lying and staring at the ceiling, or answering people's questions here all day (LOL). Sometimes I have to take a day off work. But it almost always passes after 48 hours, and although I've wasted a couple of days of life, it seems better to me than spending time/money going to a doctor/therapist, getting drunk or doing drugs, etc.

It is rather new I understand and the going fee is about $3500, (with no guarantee, of course.

Some positive answers may cause me to "think about it a little more".

If you havent washed your hands or done anything to sterilize your hands, is it ok to finger a girl. If not what happens if you dont think about it and you do it anyways. How does that effect her.
