Health - 20 October 2006

I was recently diagnosed with Pelvic Adhesions, after suddenly developing severe abdominal pain. It appears that I've had undiagnosed appendicitis at some time in the past and although they separated my mangled appendix from my bowel, the rest of my insides are fairly well glued together. I've been in pain for 2 months now (not very long in the grand scale of things, I know). Do you get used to it? And is surgery to separate the organs an option, or will it cause more scarring and adhesions, and therefore more pain?

I'd be grateful for any information as my follow-up appointment isn't for another 2 1/2 months. Apparently, the NHS have to send the audiotapes of my surgery to India to be transcribed before I get my appointment!

I was looking for something for my daughter for a sore throat the other day- and the symptom list on the medications was pretty much the same. If someone can tell me the difference between the two- I would appreciate it!

I am nice looking, but my body frame is slightly masculine. I am looking for something natural that will make me look more feminine. I read that Shatavari and Fenugreek are good. Is this true?

ok. My family thinks i am anorexic because i went from around 125 to 98 pounds last year. I heard that anorexics think they are fat even though they are supper thin. I do not see myself as fat i just h want to maintain a reasonable weight. But anyway my family have been on my a** to gain weight they told me that I was starting to look unhealthy so i have gained up to 115. But now I'm starting not to like the way my body looks with the weight coming back on. My family thinks i need to see someone before this gets out of controll. IS this really anorexia like my family is accusing me of?

As a kid we had fried chicken at least 3 to 4 nights out of the week, none of us are overwight, fat, bad cholestoral or anything.

Now that I am watching my cholestroal I've stopped eating at Popeyes (Wich is pretty much the greatest chicken on earth) and now I'm considering maby 2 times a month eating there that shouldn't be bad for me. Especially since I grew up eating it.

I have really bad (probably medical grade) acne, almost every skin pore on my face has a small white pimple under the skin, these all gradually get bigger and then swell up. I also have Crohn's disease (auto immune digestive disease). The stuff my doctor gave me was useless and I have tried Vilantae and Exposed skin care kit off of the net. None of this has made even the slightest difference, are there any products that work or what help can I get? as having acne makes life hell!

I would much appreciate any helpful help!

I have asked two pharmacists and my doctor this question and they only tell me that there are no studies on this so they don't know one way or the other. I was wondering if anyone has combined these supplements with an SSRI.

I need to lose a lot of weight (over 100 lbs). I am cutting meat almost completely, but want more ideas on how to be healthy. Any suggestions, ideas or food plans? If you have lost weight on a healthy veg diet, can you please list what a day's food looked like? (What you had for bfast, lunch, dinner, if you had snacks...)
