Health - 6 December 2006

I know someone who is diabetic, but does not take good care of himself with diet, taking insulin, checking blood-sugar, etc. He claims that he can't walk or stand to well, yet I have seen with my own eyes the way he will go flying to the bathroom and back to bed, or standing for several minutes without even wabbling like he is about to fall. He can go all over town in his motorized chair, yet when he's home he acts like he can't even get a glass of water.

He's lazy and just wants attention and sympathy. He drives me up a wall with it. He is my roommate for now but I am saving up money to get my own place.

I just recently started taking One-A-Day Women's multi-vitamins and every day I take it, I get a sick feeling in my stomach, like I need to vomit. I used to take a different type of multi-vitamin, and haven't had this symptom in the past. I take it with food, and am not sure what causes the nausea or how to relieve it.

Has anyone had a similar experience of feeling sick after taking vitamins, or know what might cause this feeling? I am also looking for tips on how to relieve nausea.

Any helpful feedback is appreciated, thanks!

My dad woke but his clock was broken. ON his watch it was 2:00 pm. SO he thought "Oh I am so awake and had a good sleep." BTW, he slept real late like 3 am. Then he realized it was 8:30 pm and he thought "Oh, I'm so tired. I didn't sleep enough."

So tiredness IS physological? Agree?

I have been in therapy for about a year now due to a rotator cuff infringement and bicep tendonitis. I just recently had surgery, again, on my left shoulder for the tendonitis. After about three weeks healing I started therapy again, and now my right shoulder has violent popping when I lift it at about a 45 degree angle. It is such a hard pop that it noticably jerks my shoulder. It only hurts depending on the position I am in when it pops. If anyone has been through this and can give me an idea of what is wrong and how I can fix it, please help.

I've had something happen this past week that is causing me to stress out big time. It's over with now, but I keep have this nagging fear that something will happen again before I can get it settled. It's financial problems. My muscles are stiff, I have had a lot of headaches and I'm not sleeping right. Can anyone recomend anything natural or medical wise that can help me relax. I hear yoga is good and I try and read but sometimes that doesn't work. Are there any vitamins or medications that can help.
I'm trying to get into my doctor but can't till next week. I already have social anxiety and I'm borderline depression. I already feel like I'm going to be fully into depression if these feelings don't go away.

What are some of the main signs/symptoms of panic attacks? I think I had one the other night: for some reason I felt really scared though I didn't know why, my heart was racing, and I felt really shaky. It lasted about an hour. I had one similar to that about two months ago. My dad had panic attacks when he was younger and now he is manic-depressive. Also, what is the best way to help control this (I don't have medical insurance and sure as hell don't have extra money to spend on therapy)

I believe it is because of our enourmous love of foods containing high sugars and carbs. If we cut things like soda, candy, pasta, and bread from our diets, (kind of like atkins) we will see the pounds drop to the floor. people like to binge and eat frequently, but if they cut the sugar and carbs... they could eat as much as they wanted and not gain any weight.

On my ring finger of my right hand, I have this corn-like bump right near the upper knuckle on my finger. It's from writing since that's where the pen is pressed up against as I write (I write differently than is usual).

Anyways, it's been there for a few years and I have absolutely no idea how to get rid of it. Even over long periods of time where I do minimal amounts of writing instead of the usual amount, it doesn't get any better.

It's a noticeable bump, it's mostly dry skin it seems (like the calluses that you get on the heels of your feet). It's painful after writing for long periods of time and it also makes me incredibly self-conscious when it comes to my hands.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it better or get rid of it, that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I sweat alot on my head, even when my torso is not sweating. It happens all the time but especially at night, my pillow case gets soaked. I also smell cigarette smoke sometimes when I know that there is no one smoking anywhere near me.

I give her plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and skimmed milk. Fat and sugar are kept to a minimum and junk food and sweets are not allowed. She has a gymnastics class twice a week. I've been told by some that she'll grow out of it in time, and others say its probably her genes. Her doctor doesn't seem concerned and just told me to make her portions a bit smaller which I already did. I'm really concerned about her health and don't know what else to do, especially when she says she's hungry when it's been only a little while since her last meal. I'm sure she's not eating out of psychological reasons because she's an only child and very much loved; in fact her father spoils her too much. She was born weighing 3.75 kilos and was a chubby baby from the start. Now that she's older and the "baby fat" seems intent on staying I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions? HELP!
