Health - 18 November 2006

The thyroid gland, located in the lower front of the neck, produces hormones - thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3) - that are extremely important for the regulation of the body's metabolism.

My question is related with hypothyroidism.

Congestion is caused by swollen vessels in the nose, not SNOT! It doesn't matter how much you force air through the nasal passages, it won't help!

I used to go to bed at 11 or 11:30pm and wake up at 6am religiously, with waking once or twice in the night. However the past 2 weeks I have been going to bed at 11 and waking at 3 or 4am and am unable to go back to sleep. I am so tired during the day. I go to sleep at 11 and sleep just fine. Then at 3 or 4 I am wide awake. I do not drink caffine in the evenings. Don't eat 3 hours before bed. I don't take naps, even though I'd like to because I'm exhausted during the day. I would appreciate any suggestions that would help me. Thanks!

I had two major c-sections and have had hell trying to lose weight.... mainly in my stomach area where the stomach muscles had been cut. Any ideas or suggestions? And from a medical standpoint or personal knowledge standpoint, how likely is it that I can regain some semblance of my original prepregnancy stomach without some kind of surgery? I am not fat or anything but I do seem to have "loose skin" ... any remedies for this as well?

Hi all!
I'm 34, my oldest child is 15 months, and I'm suffering a bit with a flabby tummy after 2 kids in 3 years :)

I eat pretty healthily - when I tried to count calories, I'm not exceeding 1500 cals/day. I eat vegetables with meals, don't snack, do have a sweet tooth, but don't indulge it that often!

I am however 13 stone or so, and only 5'0. This puts me in the clinically obese category.

I was born with club foot (both feet). Have had 8 operations on one ankle and 3 on the other. It's left me with chronic osteoarthritis in my ankles, which means walking etc etc very painful, and I'm on disability as a result. Swimming would be great, but with 2 kids and a husband who works odd shifts, it's not possible to get to a pool.

A variation on Atkins' carb counting worked for a while - I lost about a stone, then the weight loss just stopped. Slimming World & Weightwatchers (despite sticking very carefully to them) didn't work at all. Any other ideas to help me lose weight?

It started Friday morning. I was going to go to the ER for it but it kind of stopped huring for a little bit after a good nights sleep. I bought an eye patch for it, but even that didn't seem to help because seeing bright light with my right eye even seemed to hurt my left eye. I will be going to the optometrist on Monday to get it looked at. My question is... what is this? Also, my left eyes pupil is dialated while the right is normal.
