Health - 25 December 2006

I'm 31 years old and have just been diagnosed as having a milk allergy. The allergist figures I have been allergic since childhood but other doctors have put the symptoms to other things... When I realized there was a problem it was because I broke out into hives, in addition to the normal gastric and migranes I normally felt.

But two days ago, I ate a tiny sliver of pizza with cheese on it and that cheese sent me into a tale spin. First hives, then immediate violent vomiting (so bad that I also vomited blood, pulled muscles in my right rib cage and did something to my throat!) On top of this while not really labored breathing was difficult and my chest felt really tight.

So that one little sliver of pizza sent me to the ER. Does anyone know if this is normal and WHY after 31 years of being a milk product junky that it would get this bad so quickly? I mean now even my shampoo, that has a milk rinse added, causes my head to break out. AHHHHH

I've had 3 cesareans, and found the last two to be extremely painful. My daughters were about 14 months apart, & my youngest is 2 1/2 right now. I am going to have a hysterectomy after the 1st and was told it is 30% more painful than a cesarean. I have a high tolerance for pain, but remember very well how the cesarean recovery tested the limits of what pain I could handle. Hoping to get a response from someone who has had at least one cesarean delivery & has also had an adominal hysterectomy. Thank you

One ecography's interpretation stated the tumor was at the ovarium, another suggested it was at the peripheria. She is to have surgical intervention this Wednesday, do you know if petscan or another method could be used instead? She is at Colombia, any info about medical facilities that have this equipment over there would be good too.

I suppose its bullemia. Or when someone drinks to much and vommits at the end of the night. How long does it take for your body to consume what it intakes? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I understand it is very dangerous and this is a bizzare question but i heard that the body absorbs the calories and nutrients it intakes immediately. So therefore it makes me wonder why bullemics lose weigh if that fact is true. If that is true then bullemics do not lose weight by vommiting afterwards.

By Detoxing and Rejuvenating your Mind, Body and Spirit,

1. You allow yourself to heal from any toxins that have been held inside your body,
2. You allow your Mind to release any harsh feelings or Sad emotions,
3. You allow your Spirit to become open and free. Once you ahve Detoxified and Rejuvenated your Mind Body and Spirit,
4. You can finally Allow yourself to enjoy real Homeostasis.

(Homeostasis: Optimal Well being, Optimal Health, At a point in your life when all is ok, and righht with you Physically, Mentally, Emotionall, and Spiritually.)

Stress can make any disorder worse. May it be Mental Emotional or physical. Stress is when you worry way too much about things that can be fix with a little effort on your own personal part.
Stress has been proven to cause serious health risks, such as heart disease, Endurance Problems, Fatigue, Emotional Imbalances, etc.
There are options to dealing stress and weight loss. Such as Detox plans and rejuvenation Plans, as the one I have enclosed.

I definitely stress that you consult your physician, about anything new or changes in your daily regimine. As this plan will affect other areas of your Daily living and Medications.

Please feel free to Copy and Print this to your own Blank Text and save it and print it out when you go to your DR again.

One month detox and rejuvenation plan

STEP ONE: Detox: (week one)

a), Drink lots of water

b) lay off the sodas, beer, tea, coffee, etc

c) Basically go on a water fast(drink water only and no food), for 7days consecutively.

d)for even more detoxifying effects, maybe sit in a Sauna for about 20-30 minutes, twice during your 7day detox(once when during day two and once during day four), allowing your pores to open up and allow the toxins to come out.

STEP TWO: Rejuvenate (Goes hand in hand with step one, done during the entire month and future days) (If you are under the age of 18 with a proper ID, You have to be accompanied by a parent to any Spa or Massage Clinic.)

a) Go to a spa, and enjoy a nice warm Mud Bath or a Bodywrap, Then a two hour Massage, starting with ROM Assessment/Joint therapy, to relieve any joint stress or tension,

b) Then a Little Myofascial Stretching to give the skin and muscle a nice warming stretch,

c) Then a slightly Vigorus Swedish to relax the muscles,

d) Then a Little acupressure to relieve any trigger points,

e) Then ending a soft Swedish to really relax those muscles.

f) Then maybe get a nice salt scrub to really open your pores, and soften the skin.

g) Then take a nice warm shower, rinse away any toxin that may have come to the surface, and excess oils from the salt scrub.

h) Then rinse with cold water to tighten the pores and waken the bodys energies and chakras.

i) Find a reiki practioner and get a session to help restart your chakras as you may have a few that need a boost.

STEP THREE: Exercise, (can be done during step one and two, and is incorporated into our lives forever til we die)

Try a Tai chi Class, Yoga, Pilates, Aerobics, or Jazzercise, Maybe take up swimming, or Ballrom Dancing.

STEP FOUR: Eat Proper ( this starts during week two and continues into our everyday lives) (with fewer/healthier meals/snacks for thinner people), and (Smaller portions But more often/healthier meals/snacks with heavier people)

STEP FIVE:Plan yourself a Healthy But tasty diet plan including and starting with: (this is just a recommended plan Not set in stone if you know what I mean.)

Follow the sandwich with some watermelon or strawberries, or some kind of fresh fruit salad if you are a still hungry or just want a nice desert. Watermelon or any type of Melon will help to fill you up faster.
Drink water at a couple of degrees cooler than room tempurature.

Organic Rice.

I'm 14 and I've had my period for about a year and a half. I've always used pads, but now I'm switching to tampons. This morning, I used super and within a half hour, there was blood in my underwear, but the tampon was probably only 1/4 saturated. What am I doing wrong and how can I avoid leaks because of this?

Could this be an obsessive/compulsive behavior? I am 50 years old and can't stop,even when I am in pain and bleeding I continue to tear skin from my fingers, mostly my left thumb both pinkies and my left index and ring finger. I take prozac already and I don't seem to have a lot of stress in my life, but I just have to do this. I used to chew my nails but I quit about 15 years ago. I don't like to hold hands with my husband or rub his back because my hands are rougher than rough sandpaper, Help!!!
