Health - 11 December 2006

Is anyone else getting freaked out by all the E.Coli stories?! What is the problem? How do you protect yourself from this stuff? First I read Fast Food Nation, now I hear this stuff, so I'm finding it easy to avoid fast food!! I guess that's one good thing but, it's not only fast food, is it? Terrible!

I've been getting treatment by the external clinic of Louis H. Lafontaine hospital for the last few years. Unfortunately, everything is in french. Although I can speak french, I cannot express myself properly and I feel I'm stuck at a dead end. I am hoping to find services near my home in english to progress with my Bipolar and Anxiety disorder.

I see on television, lot of actors are doing intimate scenes like having close physical contact with women who are either nude or having very less clothes. But if i notice the penis area of the men, there is no erection......does that men that men dont get erections by touching women? If yes, then how do people continue to have sex for so many years if touching doesnot get them an erection?

My close cousin has a weight problem (over 450lbs at 36yrs old). She recently had the procedure done (where they staple your stomach to only take in small amounts of food) and lost a lot of weight at the beginning.

Over time, we started noticing her eating more and more at every family gathering (like a normal person). Every time someone mentions it to her, she withdraws and gets very defensive.

This past week her younger brother died (he was extra large too) so we went to her house to console her. In her fridge we noticed all kinds of unhealthy foods and lots of it... We didn't say anything that day because she was grieving.

So, I'm asking you all... How do you let a person know that they need to stop eating so much and start exercising before it's too late, without making them angry?

okay this is my story...Hi, My name is Megan. I have been having wrist problems for sometime now. I am 17 and ever since 8th grade I my wrist have always hurt on and off and now it doesn't stop. My doctors told me at first it was tendentious my freshmen year. Last year (my junior year) I went back because the problem has only got worse and they told me it was Carpal tunnel and yet they did nothing for me. Now I am a senior and have been dealing with this for a while and I went back to the doctors and they are now sending me to a surgeon about this but I don't go back until March 19 and I was just wondering what you all think and what I could do to help with the pain until them because I haven't slept much this past week because the pain and numbing wakes me. I need a cheap and easy way until I see my surgeon. Thanks.

My step daughter is exhibiting signs of Type II diabetes and has an insulin test scheduled for Tuesday. What does this entail for her if this is in fact the case (she is 11 years old)? Right now she appears to have too much insulin in her system. I always thought diabetes was the other way around. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
