Health - 7 November 2006

I have had problems in remembering information. I have listed that I and many people commonly face. I have tried pneumonics and mindmapping.

1. I have a very bad retention. For example if people are talking about some everyday event. I fail to recall it. Once they talk about it I can identify it but I were asked to explain that event, I wouldnt have been able to recall as many details.
2. I also dont seem to remember well what I have read. So I often have to learn parts of the text.
3. I forget information learnt a few days back. And I have to revise more than other people in order to retain that information. I have seen people who easily remember what was talked about or done in class a few weeks back even without revising but I cant do so.
4. Losing track when reading a long article. If someone asks me what I read, I am quite blank and can only offer a one line answer.
5. When studying a lot of concepts, forgetting a lot of them e.g retroactive interference.

I've had a cold for 11 days now and was feeling awful the first 2 days and just sounded like I had a cold since then, it's still here and I'm coughing a lot and today felt miserable again, I just drank a vitamin C drink (Rubex) and suddenly feel energised does it give you energy? And are colds meant to last this long?

For a school project...What is your opinion of people who are obese (Not overweight, obese, with a body mass index score of 30 or above). And if you are obese, do the health risks worry you? Your overall feelings on being obese?
*note: I am not against obesity or anything like that. This is just the topic I got stuck with at school.

I have a 3 soon to be 4 year old little daughter, here is my problem. Last year I would say around Oct or so, she developed a fever, this fever would go as high as 105.1 and as low as 99.2. Working in the medical field myself, I know that a temp of 99.2 is nothing to really worry about, but it does indicate that there is the start of something starting. She went to 3 different doctors and noone could figure it out. We even had her to Pittsburgh's Children's Hospital, since thats where I'm from is westen PA. I'm starting to worry again, shes got a fever of 100 right now but shes also got a chest cold. This is how it started out last time was with a chest cold, and it went away, but the fever never did, The doctors tested her from everything from cat stratch fever to pnumia. I am at a total loss. I hate to see my child go thru this again. Is there anyone out there that has gone thru this or is going thru this right now? Please help for the sake of my 3 year old.

My neck feels like someone is hanging off of it. It's a really "heavy" feeling. I didn't injure it at all playing sports, and believe is is due to stress. Ibuprofen doesn't do anything to help, nor does anything else. Seeing that as of late I am extremely stressed out over my job situation, what can I do to relieve this tension in my neck and shoulders. Help please!

Thanks,

Steve
