Health - 13 November 2006

I know that the typical answer will be that i am an alcoholic, but.......i can go weeks sometimes months without. but there are some days that i wake up and i just want to drink. I have had a troubled past and a D.U.I., but even though i know that i need to stop drinking to eliminate the possible consequences...I can't. I know that if i don't ''settle down'' it will get me into trouble but it seems to me that something comes over me and i just need to drink. The sad part is that after i drink (various amounts) i feel ''better'' and i know it's not right. The saying goes ''mind over matter'' but in this case, to me, it seems to be matter over mind. On the way to the store for booze, I know what i am doing is not right, but for some reason i must continue. Last but not least, when a person asks me ''what makes you happy''.....I think...a bottle of vodka. some people laugh but it is no joke. I weigh 150 lbs. and I have been picked up with a BAC of 2.13 and don't even feel drunk.pleasehelp

I can either have a ton of fun, be stupid, etc. if I can just let loose and be crazy... if there is nothing holding me back.
But other times I feel really tired...and that's about it.
Do you ever get this way?

50% (3/6) of my uncles (mums side) are colour blind. My family and i have always thought i had it so we got it checked about 2 or 3 years ago. They said i was green colour blind. I managed to get trough most of the tests ok. The one i had the trouble with was the numbers made out of green dots with other coloured dots around them. Anyway... What is green colour blindness because when my friends ask me what colour something is i always get it right and i have never gotten it wrong when my friends have asked so tell me what is it and how come this happens

Roughly, every alternate night, as i'm about to drift off to sleep, three things happen without fail. The first thing is, I mildly hallucinate, but without actually being able to do anything about it, then there is this embarassing snort or snork that i do without control of it which startles me, and finally all my muscles, especially my hands and arms, go very weak and heavy after all of it. Any ideas on these strange episodes please?

I have never heard where it is reported that someone's eyes just could not see colour. I am just curious. Is it possible for this to happen at all?

Is it much harder to loose weight if one is born with a low heart rate.

An acquaintance of mine has the following symptoms, she knows what her illness is but won't let me know. (this is not the problem, don't give me comments on the fact that she's keeping it a secret.)

I only have 3 symptoms for you to analyze this:
a) Strictly Vegetarian - I don't know why but she's not allowed to eat large amounts of meat.

b) Dry skin - she once told me that she has to put lotion evarytime cause it dries easily ( her skin doesn't look psoriatic)

c) YOU CAN IGNORE THIS ONE. She seemed to have um, peculiar hair, I can't describe. I saw her pictures back then and her hair seemed to be really thin and seemed to fall (not sure at all)

I know that u can't discern the illness easily by just those 3 symptoms, but as much as possible, give me the most believable and possible answer please.

PS She looks very very pale.

The rest of the nation is shouldering the burden for issues such as heart disease and diabetes which are directly related to weight. Some insurance companies charge more for people who smoke. Because weight is an absolutely controllable issue, shouldn't overweight people pay more for healthcare so that it is affordable to the rest of the nation who takes care of themselves?

Is it fair that people can stuff their faces until they die and we have to pay for it?
