Health - 8 January 2007

Hi, to give some background, I'm currently 17 (nearly 18), weigh about 70kgs, and am around 5'11 or so.

When I was about 15 I fell into a downward spiral of drug abuse and smoking. Pot and chemical drugs were my main abuses for about a year. I stopped doing drugs completely slightly before my 17th birthday, so actually, a year now. However, it seems the days of euphoria have taken their toll upon me. I have difficulty sustaining a proper erection (max about 80%??) and keeping hard for a 'desirable' period of time. I truly believe this is a side-effect of my previous indiscretions. Would anybody have any advice for me about what to do? I've started to exercise regularly in the hope of getting a bit fitter.. I eat pretty well too so my health is OK.. could be better but OK.

Any suggestions/thoughts in regard to this rather embarrassing predicament would be much appreciated. I'm a bit reluctant to go to the doctor about it..

...it cos judging fm x-ray, it will cause temporary to permament damage on nerves to my left side of face. Gum covers 70% of it and that's the area that decay. The 30% exposed has been kept well. Dentise adv only if it gets worse, then need to consider to take out the one before it, let the wisdom teeth come out a bit more so lesser risk of damaging the nerve....where shall i seek 2nd opinion? Is it feasible to have the exposed area drilled, so that I can at least keep the 'leftover' of the wisdom teeth clean to avoid surgery that will damage the nerve???

My fitness has gone down dramatically because I haven't exercised in ages, how can I regain back that level and maybe more in about 3 weeks? What exercises, keeping in mind that I don't visit the Gym, go outside very much and usually exercise mainly on the bike. I'd like to build up my strength as well (I don't have equipment, but I have some 3.5kg amplifiers I sometimes use)..

... Still need a little help....

Doing quite well on the patches I'm on... cravings are not bad at all... coping quite well (to my surprise!) But there's still just one difficulty: having trouble with the whole occupying my hands and mouth... I've found that I've been biting my lips without realising I'm doing it... and nibbling at the inside of my mouth! (Yuk!)
... Need to stop ASAP... Has anyone else quit and had this same problem? Andy tips and advice on what I can do there??

Thanks in advance!

I normally eat 1000 calories a day and lost 10 pounds by dieting and exercising, now that I'm in my goal weight, I want to eat more and make my metabolism faster. I want to burn at least 1500 calories naturally, like the way I used to. Is there any way that I can do that? I really, really need help from you guys. Especially good nutrionists out there.

Just last week, I was put on Lortab for a ruptured ovarian cyst that I noticed after a run one day. Since I have been taking the medication: I have been exhausted, eyes on fire, digestive problems (always having to go to the bathroom), allergies bothering me more than normal, and huge mood swings (like being depressed more than normal even. I don't understand the mood swings. Do you think this could have something to do w/the medication or is it just that I'm more tired than normal and that causes me to be irritable? I haven't felt myself at all since I've been on this medication.
