Health - 23 January 2007

I have a cut on my calf. It's dark pink/red about an inch in either direction all the way around it, and goes to light pink, then yellow. This has spread to about three inches out from the cut. Very puffy and hard. I can't walk very well, and my entire leg is sore all the way around.

I've been using peroxcide and putting a dressing on it, but it's gone from just a little red as of yesterday morning to this oozing, discolored mess today.

I have a fitness test in two weeks time in which I have to have a grip test. I must achieve 35 in my right hand and 33 in my left however my current strength is 28 in my left and 30 in my right. I have been going mad with the weights etc but it has not made any difference. Is it even possible to achieve what they need? If so i have little time to do it so any tips that could dramatically help me achieve this grip strength would be very much appreciated

I understand that Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that is spread through sex. Where does the bacteria come from? Is it possible to get a bacterial infection and spread it to your partner without originally getting it through sex?

Is it possible to have a coughing attack while in a deep sleep? I have a persistant cough (since 3 days ago) and it is keeping my roommate awake at nights, however, I am sleeping fine, and do not recollect these "coughing fits." Am I just sleeping through them? I tend to be a sound sleeper in general. She requests that I go sleep on the couch, as to not wake her. I think that this request is absurd. Help!?

I have already asked this question but I will put it with more detail.My self esteem is way beyond low I am very heavy but I have joined the gym and lost 15 pounds i compare myself to all the other woman in that gym and put myself down a lot. i have a personal trainer he is a dude so it is hard to talk to him plus he never wants to talk about if i bring it up he never seems to support me on how i feel. people tell me how pretty and wonderful I am and when people say nice things about me like a love your hair it makes me feel worse. i sometimes go home and cry I feel hurt and feel like nothing is ever good enough for how hard I work. It seems like I can never accept myself. Iam on boderline of devloping bulima and my mom doesnt understand she was once a bulimic may years ago I go see a threapist but I dont see her until the 8th of febuary is there anyone out there that can give me some advice? remeber your talking to a 16 year old.

Hello! My husband came down with the Norovirus near the end of December, for some odd reason I escaped. My question is... He was handeling pork the night he became ill, we ate some for dinner and then he froze some. I just thought about it now, is it safe to thaw, cook and eat or should I not trust it and throw it away. I will probably toss it, but I just hate wasting food. I am 5 weeks pregnant and I don't want to take any chances.
Please help!

Whey protein of ON is imported into india, so tax and all, so costly.
well an indian brand , certified with our national standards sells whey protein, chocolate flavor, quite reasonable.
in fact, i can buy two kg of indian brand in the same rate of ON's.

what to buy, well if costly means better in this case , i can buy
ON's also.

AT WHAT TIME TO TAKE IT FOR BEST RESULT, I GO TO GYM AT 6 PM

a psychopath is someone who doesn't care how their actions affect others. Since judges hold themselves to be above the law and don't give a damn about what they do to others as long as they (supposedly) follow the letter of the law which is designed by criminals to protect criminals, then judges must be psychopaths!

I wanted to make my writings available to All Diabetes around the World. I was offered $40.000 to have it Published and keep 1/3rd. I refused because it would send the cost of the Book to high for the average House Hold to buy.They're offer would bring the Book to $69.95 per Copy. I want to have it available to the Public for the taking. How Do I do this and still pay bills of $10.000 installed writing and researching the Book?

While watching "The Full Monty", I was perplexed by the scene in which one character wraps plastic wrap around his belly, then eats a candy bar. Another character had convinced him he could lose weight by doing so. Is that actually somehow effective, and if so, how? It sounds like a ridiculous myth circulated by people with a deep-seated phobia of exercise.
My friend was swearing on her grandmother's grave it is a well-known "quick fix" for cellulite. I think it's urban legend at best. I have $5 riding on this, so please list sources if you have them.

I am 5'8 and 148. I am 18 in HS & looking to lose the rest of the fat on my body, which obviously isn't too much. I am also looking to lift weights too, because I am really not very strong (average to just a little below avg strength prob). I have just a little fat around my chest, lower stomach & inner thigh, but it is minimal.

I plan on running 5 days a week, about a mile each, and going on a diet of almost no junk food, fat, and as few carbs as possible. I also plan on curling, benching, and squatting every other day.

If I do this, how long will it take to lose all the fat that I have????

moer than 7 days and very very heavy. I would like to get pregnant and have been trying for about 11 months. I had a routine pap smear about 11 months ago when I had my I.U.D. removed, and everything came back normal, but does a papsmear tell you if you have endometriosis? should I be concerned about my periods? every once in a while I will have sharp pains in the pelvic area but they are quick and don't continue. what could be the problem?
