Health - 20 November 2006

I have a terrible cold at the moment. I have a slightly sore throat, stuffy yet runny nose, temperature, achy joints, sensitivity to hot and cold.. Also I have a rash on my face, neck and shoulders, and also on my wrists.

Anyone else suffer the same.. Any ideas what to take?

I was stressing SO badly about these tiny red bumps i had on the base of my penis. I was so sure of myself that i had genital warts and was really depressed about. so i finally went to the clinic and told her what my worries were and she examined them and said that she doesnt think that they are genital warts or herpes for that matter. I was so relieved but at the same time paranoid that she might of been wrong, so she got a second nurse's opinion and she said the same thing, telling me that what i have definitely isnt any type of STD. So should i stop worrying and take in what they said? not to sound sexist but i think i wouldve felt better about it if a fellow man did the diagnostic. but anyways, what else could they be then?

I am 5'10 and 150 pounds (I have a large frame) and I am a 17 y/o female. My daily diet is pretty crappy - breakfast is usually a bowl of cereal, a snack is a frappuccino and two candy bars, lunch is usually Panda Express chinese food, the next snack is usually a 99 cent bag of chips and eight to ten mini-slim-jims. Then, dinner is usually a large burrito or three slices of pizza or a fried chicken TV dinner. I've been eating this way (no dieting) for over two years straight. I'm not technically overweight, and I don't gain weight easily (no one in my family does). I'm just wondering - if I eat a bit healthier - not deprive myself - just cut back from 3000+ calories to a normal amount of 1800-2000 calories. What could my potential weight be if I ate like a normal human being?

Here is a good resource:

www.betterbodybasics.com and do a search with the word "calves" and it will come up with threads related to that.

Another thing: DO NOT do calf raises. I see a lot of people suggesting calf raises but it only makes them bigger. I took that suggestion years ago and all it did was make them bigger and now i'm paying for it trying to de-bulk them.

Also no-no's: duck walking, stair climbing and there is more...

I went to the er. my doc will not allow me to take meds while pregnant. i took steriods the first time, two years ago, and recovered within two weeks 100%. will waiting so long to begin treatment affect how well i recover, if i do at all? im only 22yrs old. i have read so much info on bell's palsy but hardly any exists when it comes to pregnant women with this condition. also, the first time i had it on the left side. this time it is on the right and a lot worse.

I am a 33 year old woman and I'm interested in starting to do Yoga, but I am not flexible AT ALL. Does your body really become more flexible over time?

The article is from about the late 70's. It is about the sterilness we in the civilized world have created in comparison to the tribes of the Amazon and unsanitary areas. The article was no doubt in a special issue or book from Time-Life.

And said I tested positive for chlamydia from the pap done last week. On top of that today is my 22nd birthday...Happy Birthday..smh.
I've had the same partner since July, and we used condoms 100% of the time.
I told him, and he said he doesn't have it because when he got checked for football and track, he didn't have anything.
I know condoms arent 100% effective, but if he is saying he doesn't have it....then is someone lying here or could there be a mistake in the test results??

Like i am standing on the shoreline feet submerged in the shallow waves and my feet are sinking in the sand. The water rushes in and goes out again leaving your feet embedded and the water rushes around you and you are struggling to hold on to your footing when everything is dragging you down and in all directions so fast. This is my analogy for trying to hang on with mental illness.

Night terrors for me are dreams in which i think i am awake, and my body is moving as if i am awake, so i scream and wake up my family/ flat mates depending on where i am.
