Health - 20 January 2007

This woman coughs every morning daily, for an hour or more, and then smokes once done with her coughing fit. Smokes 3 packs a day, then at night gets under her oxygen. She has emphezema, copd, her left lung has collapsed, and who knows if she has lung cancer, but I think so.

She takes inhalers, albuterol, vitamins a b c d e etc, blood thinners, etc. Also goes to the hospital once a month saying that she cannot breathe. Go figure. They have termed her "frequent flyer". Her own doctor has given up on her smoking bouts but still treats her for other things.

Is smoking really worth all this??

I have wondered what her lungs must be like. 60 years of smoking, ewww, I bet they are very black because nicotine is sticky like glue.

I'm 32 and I used to drink alcohol before, like 8 or 7 years ago. But one day I had a kind of allergic reaction due to one medicament I used for so long, maybe abused of it for almost one year, a pain reliefer. After that I'm not able to drink, not even 1/4 of a glass of soft wine cause I get drunk and feel bad. Does that have something to do with my liver ? is that normal ?

Last time, I posted a question about news reporters. I went to our media organization today and had interview. They asked me to get my voice tested. Having finished with the test, I took a film to the another room. He watched the film and said “…ummm... Your voice is okay, but you have a little stress in your speaking…” after that, he asked me to come in some other time in order to have another test in media. Now, my questions are here. 1. How can I reduce my stress? Should I consume a special pill?
2. How do you predict the outcome? Am I going to be accepted? What goes in an interviewer’s mind? Oh ! I’m handsome enough to be a good news reporter :D:D [shy]

I have to have the heating on most of the time, yet still often wear scarves and gloves inside, keeping my coat on most of the time.

My family are always complaining that it is too cold as well.

Is it because i dont do much exercise (i.e. gentle walking daily and thats it), or because i dont have much bulk (im pretty small framed)?

Really strange bits of me just get randomly cold (like my chin??) though mainly its the obvious extremities.

Does anyone else have this problem? is it worth going to a doctors for??

Thanks
xXx
