Health - 30 October 2006

Hi there, I would like to join a Herbalife program. Any critics out there? It will cost me NZ$480 a month for the program. How much do people realistically lose in one month? Are Herbalife products just like any other health product?

Ok so I was sitting on the couch today watching a tv show and my cat jumped up on my lap and sat on my left leg, now this cat isn't huge, but from the pressure of him sitting on me my leg started to go numb, so I pushed him off my lap and when I did I felt this lump like thing under my skin. as I pushed a little on it, it felt thick, not like a tight muscle or anything like that, but just not normal. And when I run my hand over it without pressing on it I can feel a difference in the height of the skin around the lump and the actual lump. Should I be worried that this is something like cancer, or is it maybe just a wierd muscle thing going on?

Broceli, onions, brussel sprouts, turnups, bananas, and corn gave you gas. Then what should I eat? What food does give you gas?

My best friend has some conditions that are puzzling her and I don't know to help her. She started putting on weight so I joined the gym with her to help her try to lose. She is very committed and works out on avg of 5x/week. Well now she has started losing A LOT of hair. It's not that noticible to me but she says her beautician has said something about it. She also has bleeding gums. Sometimes when we are talking she says she tastes the blood in her mouth so it's not just when she brushes her teeth. She is very discouraged right now because obviously I am seeing results at the gym and she isn't and it's hard for her to stay motivated to go. With the other symptoms she has though I feel there is something else that has to be going on. She has been to the doctor who says it's not her thyroid. Any other ideas?

I don't mean that metaphorically or anything, I mean like it literally feels like something's squeezing your chest and every breath takes a lot of physical effort. It seems like I only feel like that at the same time that I feel like I want to die, and I'm wondering if it's cause the same thing or if it's its own thing I should be worrying about.

I am 55 years old, married with one son, aged 25, employed and living separately.

I wake up at 6 in the morning. At 6:30, I am out with my bicycle for a 45 minutes vigorous ride to the beach and back home. I cover 15 kilometers or 9.30 miles

At 8, I have the second cup of tea of the day and go through two newspapers.

I have my shower at 8:45 and breakfast at 9:00.

I work from home, and I am at my desk at 9:15

At 1:00 I have my lunch and lie down for 30 minutes reading news paper. A short while later, I doze off.

After a half hour siesta, I have my tea and am back at my desk at 3:00 PM.

I work until 6:00 and then I go to a near by swimming pool for an hour of vigorous swim (40 numbers 25 metre laps.)

At 7:30 in the evening, I begin to have my whisky on my bedroom balcony. My wife and I talk about the day’s days events during that time. I also make a few phone calls to my friends.

By 10:00, I have had 240 ml of whisky (0.89 UK Pint, 0.5 US Pint, or a little over 8 fluix ounces) , I am reasonably tipsy and have my dinner. At 10.30, I am off to sleep. Thanks to the whisky, the moment I put my head on the pillow, I go off to sleep.

(For those of you who may think my alcohol consumption is excessive, I have my LFT – liver function test – done every six months and my liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, GGT, etc;) are within normal range. I am not diabetic, my BP is normal, I am not overweight and I am in great physical shape. I eat a very healthy diet consisting of a variety of vegetable and fruits, fish and moderate amount of carbohydrate. I avoid red meat, eat very little chicken and our consumption of cooking oil (fat) is minimal. Alcohol is my only vice, but it makes me happy, relieves my stress and gives me a general feeling of well being. I don’t smoke)

I seldom watch TV.

On Wednesdays, I go to my Rotary Club meeting. After the meeting, I drink with my fellow Rotarians and discuss current evens.

Once a week, I meet my friends – one is a doctor and other is a professor - over drinks again, and come back home in time to go to sleep.

I used to go to my club twice a week, but now I don’t go much because I do not find the conversation there interesting. I find being with my wife more enjoyable.

I do not like travelling.

I have a beautiful home and lovely garden, and gardening is my hobby. It gives me great happiness.

I enjoy good health.

Now, how can make my lifestyle more interesting?

Thank you for taking the time off to read this long post.

Hi,

I have just come to the realization that I am a compulsive liar. I can't stop myself. I can't seem to find any help online (tactics or information). It is destroying my life - my wife has seperated from me for it. And on the eve of reconcilation, I blatenly did it again.
WHY?
Any suggestions, links, or ideas would be appreciated.

I have been taking Centrum Kid's Spongebob vitamins, because my siblings don't bother taking them so I brought the bottle to college with me so that I don't have to buy my own. I'm sure that children's vitamins are completely safe, but do they provide enough vitamins for a 5'1" 20 year old female?

I am 21 and would like to go to the gynocologist. I'm a virgin and don't know how comfortable I feel about the idea of the speculum and all that. I still have to use "slender" tampons and I'm worried that the instruments/fingers used in the exam will hurt or tear me in a painful way. Anyone have any experience similar to this? Can I get a pap without the full-on pelvic work up? Any advice would be helpful!

I have such a hard time getting to sleep (hence I am here in the middle of the night!) My ideal environment for sleeping is dark, absolutely silent. This is not realistic at my home, lol.
I hate taking sleeping pills. What is a tried and true bedtime ritual/routine/habit that helps? I am tired of being tired!
I have tried...
TV, radio, reading. All of these keep me up.
