Went to the Doctors today because I have been sick ....able to view the notes from the appointment at work, since I work for the same hospital. Doctor wrote, "Alert, Friendly, Overweight, no acute distress"...am I too worried that in an urgent care appointment, he noted overweight, and I didn't even get weighed? I'm really sensitive to this....but have been dieting and exercising and have lost 10 lbs in 2 months. Everyone says, and I believe I don't look fat at all...am I just over reacting or does the MD have to write that?

Caffeine is a wander drug, it helps me relax, It calms me down when I'm in a bad mood, and it make me feel good. With out caffeine I can not sleep at all (I tried to stop drinking sodas and went three weeks with out sleep because of it.), I can not think clearly, I will be annoyed by anything, and I may start to get a little shaky. I would like an easy way to get more caffeine in me with out drinking lots of sodas, But I do not want to take a pill for it. I all ready take lots a pills every day, and want people to think I'm a drug addict or anything. The people that know me all ready call me "dope fiend", and I don't need any more of that.
I know of other things, that I can buy from people at school, that have the same effect as the levels of caffeine I'm going for, but I don't really want to mess with all that.

I'm 34. I'm desperate to lose weight. I had worked hard and lost 50 lbs but it's slowly creeping back on. I've been to doctors for these problems but there is no cure.

I can't exercise more. I'm very active taking care of a small farm, so I am not lying around or watching TV. I just can't do aerobics (it makes me feel TERRIBLE)

Every so often my lower back will flare up, making mobility very hard for a few days.

Food is the only thing that does give me energy, with my chronic fatigue. I've tried sugar-free diet, carb-free, South Beach, organic,macrobiotic,& you name it. I've tried vitamins,supplements, antidepressants,P/T

I tried walking to lose weight, and I ended up with shin spints and more back pain.

I'm still 80 lbs overweight. Too little to get my HMO to pay for a dietician and possibly bariatric surgery (stomache stapling). But it's like carrying around a 80 lb boat anchor wherever I go.

I'm young and keep very busy, but I just can't lose weight

Already on high dose painkillers for the pain, awaiting an appointment at the womens clinic but at least a 3 months waiting list. When the pain is at its worth I can not walk to end of the road or lift my son.

Ok, so Iately I've been really really tired, even though I'm sleeping at least 7-8 hours a night, and I've been really thirsty all of the time... I was wondering if these could be the signs/symptoms of a sickness, or if it's nothing to be worried about.

I had 4 of my wisdom teeth removed 16 days ago, and my surgeon told me not to chew hard foods for 4-5 weeks following surgery, because the weakened jaw bone can be accidentaly broken. Now I am afraid to chew at all. A piece of boiled cauliflower that wasn't soft enough crunched in my teeth and nearly made me to believe that I've got a jaw fracture already. I know it sounds silly, but... Does a person really know when he or she gets a jaw fracture?
