Health - 12 November 2006

I'm 5'5-5'6, fit, and my weight is at 120lbs. I eat a banana, apple, yogurt, tomatoe or green beans, and drink chocolate milk on a daily basis. I eat a lot of chicken and little meat. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? I just want to maintain my body healthy. Any pointers? Thanks.

I'm considering nursing--specifically RN --as a second career. Right now I work as a cook/chef. I work long hours. It's hot. It's dirty. Frequently I am so busy I don't have time to get a drink of water or go to the bathroom. In other words, I am not afraid to work hard and multi-task. But I've read horror stories about complete disorganization or being given 10 patients who all need about 1.5 hours of care on a 12 hour shift or being a 120 pound girl and given a 300 pound patient to turn frequetly and no one will help or having 5 patients all need a blood draw at the same exact time and then getting yelled at by doctors when you cant get it all done at the exact right time. I'm fine working 12 straight hours, but I'd at least like to have time to go to the bathroom a couple of times and at least 15 minutes to eat. I'd like to feel like I'm actually given enough time to competently care for patients. Tell me the real story before I spend time and money to go back to school.

I jog 6 miles a day and mountain bike 1-2 times a week. Laying down just doesn't cut it for me. I mean it helps, but there must be something better than just laying down to relax my muscles.

Cold showers?
Bengay?
Heating pad?
Ice the body in a bath tub?

Please help!

BTW, when do you use heat and when do you use ice?

Your brain send automatic messages to your body so you continue breathing and you don't die.

Would it be all right for a 15 year old to trim the pubic area? Not shave it all off, just trim it a bit. Can get pretty annoying. Once a hair got caught and almost was pulled aout.

I was diagnosed with Strep Throat about 3 weeks ago and was prescribed an antibiotic. The antibiotic took care of the Strep within 2 days, but almost immediately I gained a new sore throat in its place that persisted the duration of the antibiotic treatment, and has now sustained itself for 1 week after finishing the antibiotics.

Symptoms include a very dry and painful throat in the morning, but is quickly subsided with a cool glass of water. Pain is pretty mild overall but a little more intense when yawning. I also feel some mild stinging on my upper soft palette if I don't keep it well lubricated with water, or food. Eating food will subside all the uncomfortableness for a couple of hours, but I really need to be constantly drinking water to keep the pain away. I've had this for 3 weeks now and am a bit worried, I would like to know if this can be a common symptom of a cold virus, and what I mean is it out of the question to have a sore throat for a few weeks? How patient to be?
