Health - 29 December 2006

I don't know if this question is in the right category, but I didn't really know where to put it.

My sister right now is sitting in the living room. She is reading the book "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy, listening to the Rolling Stones, and watching Scooby Doo (lol) all at the same time. She is also having a conversation with my mother. How in the hell does she do that? If I went in there right now, she could tell me what is going on in the book, what the Stones are singing, what Scooby and Shaggy are up to and what her and mom are discussing.

I think my husband has a urinary tract infection or an std that is making it painful for him to urinate. It started after we came back from vacation. He was with me the whole time. I don't understand how he got it.

I'm 17 years old, in fairly good shape. I'm a figure skater, but I'm taking 2 months off for several reasons; one being that I'm going to Germany for three weeks in February. I am 5ft tall and weigh between 118 and 120 pounds (it seems to differ week to week). I really want to get down to 110-115 before I leave for my trip.

My weakness is chocolate, and I don't have the self-control to stop myself from eating it. My sister also doesn't help, because she can eat whatever she wants (she's a dancer of 16+ years), and if I see her eating a bag of cookies, i don't feel guilty eating some with her. Since I'm not skating for the time being, I don't have anything to counter-act the way I eat. I've been doing crunches(50-70 a night, not much but I'm working on it) every night for the past 3weeks. I'd go to the gym, but the memberships are really expensive.

Does anyone have any good advice, tips, or some (and hopefully simple) recipes for more healthy food choices? (esp. snacks)

My son is 15 months old and has had hypothyroidism since birth. He started on 25 micrograms and then at 12 months they increased his dosage to 37.5 since he was growing so fast at that time. Well he started to not sleep at night or take naps. So then his pediatrician adjusted his dosage back to 25 micrograms and then done blood work a month later everything looked great. He started to sleep normal again. Well he is now 15 months and he weighs 21.8 pounds. His doctor is worried cause his is in the 10th percintile which is low. He has now put him on pediasure 3 times a day instead of whole milk to help him gain some weight. My question is could it be the synthroid and the dosage being to high making him unable to gain weight. I mean he has hypothyroidism and that should make him overweight. He weighed 7 pounds at birth and has tripled his weight at 12 months but now at 15 months his weight is very low. Any one have any advice on the synthroid......???

I am a single white female with no children living with me...infact I pay child support. I suffer from depression and some undiagnosed hormonal or thyroid disorder (my best guess) and I also have a severe lack of short term memory. These problems often cause me to be late for work and I often forget simple functions such as going to the restroom, or eating, or sometimes I get lost on my way to work! I am only 32 and I know it can't be alzhiemers. I have a job, but very little money to survive on after I pay the child support. My employer does not provide any health benefits...I NEED medical help and don't know what to do or where to look. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I have always had pretty clear skin (I am 21) until about 3 months ago. I am away at school now and pretty stressed out, but my face routine is the same. I wash in the morning and night and use clearasil zit medicine. In September I started getting zits on my cheeks and I have never had a zit there in my life! I feel like I have actual acne now!! I am also getting constant breakouts on my chin. Why is this happening??? I am so ashamed of my skin now and I don't know what to do and what is the worst of all is that every one leaves a little redish purple scar. They are not indented, but just a redish spot where every zit was.
I had a mild chemical peel a couple weeks ago hoping that would help but now my face is just zitty and dry! PLEASE does anyone know what I can do? I can't take this, and it is just so wierd that it is happening now!

I was told by the Lab Technician that the all blood specimens are freezed and stroed at the Lab.Can antibodies and antigen from the blood specimen vanish if taken more than 15 days ago at the Pathology where the test was conducted.

What should I take to make it not feel so dry? I've been drinking lots of tea... taking multi vitamins... Nyquil once in a while....

One of my friends gives blood regularly. It's weird because she's deathly afraid of needles. They have to cover her arm, and everything so that she doesn't see it. She even freaks out when the prick her finger. I asked her why she still gives blood & she says it's sucks but she feels like she has too because she's type O and her blood is always in demand. I don't think she should do it anymore. I mean I understand but she's really, really scared, if they accidently show her the needle she'll start crying! Does anyone else think this is odd?
