Health - 20 November 2006

My friend recently told me that she sometimes plans out suicides in her head when she is feeling sad or overwhelmed. When I expressed concern she said that she has it under control and it's nothing serious. Seems pretty serious to me. Should I follow those instincts? How can I help her if she doesn't think she needs help? Thanks.

my hands & feet are always cold..some people jsut say i might ahve bad cirrculation to my ahnds and feet but im only 14 and always perfectly healthy. my friend metioned i could have low iron level and because i am only 14 i dont think about that kinda stuff but it could be very true. besides having cold hands and feet when ever i stand up from laying down & sometimes jsut sitting down everythign goes black and dizzy and no matter how hard i try to see and focus i cant. it only stays that way for about 5 seconds but could this be another side effect of low iron. if so my mom can take me to the doctor but what coulld i do or eat to gain iron if this is the case? thankyou so much!

I am looking into Yoga, but am wondering how it will benefit me. I am 26 and really need to tone up...not necessarily lose weight, but just tone up. Will Yoga do that? How can I find a good workout to do at home? How long will it take until I start seeing results?

Thanks for any and all feedback!!

Hi I had lost 50 lbs after having my daughter and now I have gained back 15 lbs and I dont want to gain it all back. I am still very overweight and need to lose about 75lbs. It wasnt very hard after my daughter was born I was busy taking care of her and didnt have time to think let alone binge on fatty foods. Now my daughter is 17m/o and is more independent so I have more down time. I feel awful and am tired all the time along with back and knee pain from the extra weight. I am an emotional eater and eat when depressed, happy, sad etc. I want to look and feel good again. I want to be healthy and be around for my daughter. Any good advice or what keeps you motivated? What are some diet and fitness basics?

I just discovered a dark purple bruise on the side of my leg, just on the side where my knee is. I’ve not hurt my self so I don’t understand where this bruise has appeared from. Could this be a blood clot?

If you had a lump below your ear- that had a cat scan but needed second opinion- took antibiotics 2 separate times- and upped the dosage and the lump still won't go away....do you think a biopsy would be the best thing? My CT scan said it was normal but my doc wants me to get a second opinion.

I take it regular.
Not sexual active.
Period is not suppose to start for another 2 weeks.

I noticed a brownish discharge in my panty. No odor, just brownish and kinda thick, not runny.
What is it or what could it be?

My dad has just got discharged from the hospital for ischemic stroke. This is the 2nd time he suffered from one and a more serious one. It left him feeling weak and has unable to walk without someone to hold him. He had problem swallowing food and was one the food tube for a few days. He is now able to take mashed food. He was discharged after 2 weeks in the hospital. However, he tends to vomit his food for the last few days before he was discharged. The doctors could not find a reason for it. He had been vomiting his dinner for the last couple of days so far since he got back. Why is he vomiting? He also have hiccups lately. The usual trick of drinking water cannot work as he can't take liquid readily.

rare that something makes me happy. I will cry and cry for no reason at all and everything anyone says or does I take to heart. I get so upset that I get physically ill and throw up. There has been a lot going on in my life (I found out I was pregnant in June and moved in with my boyfriend, only to miscarry in July. I am a full time student and also work, I have gotten into a car accident, and me and my boyfriend have been rocky.) I know this is all stressful but isn't reacting this way a little severe? After all, that is life and I should be able to control my emotions. Like 3 weeks ago I snapped out of it and have been fine! Then all of a sudden I feel so down again. A lot of it seems to happen when me and my boyfriend have troubles, but it is not even anything so serious. How can I stop overreacting to everything, and what is going on with me? I have also been very negative and moody. It is so draining, please help!
