I am not impatient...actually...i am.

I just started working out for the first time in years. I have gained about 40 lbs and ust started a jogging program. I work out about 3 or 4 times a week...on the tredmill for about a half hour.

How long should it take to see ANY results??

Ok, heres the story. When I went to Greece I came back absolutely covered in Mosquito bits all over my body. This year I went to Portugal and got even more covered in them, all over my body and my face. Two on my face swelled up and I had to see an emergency doctor for antibiotics and it ruined my holiday.

I am going to Mexico in June and getting married so I dont want to wake up one morning looking like the Elephant Man or covered in spots.

So my question is - is there anything I can take / use to stop them biting me?

Old Wives Tales will also be appreciated as I'll be trying anything and everything.

It doesn't seem to matter WHAT he is eating and he recently is not eating near as much as he should. He physically is in great shape, but is loosing weight rapidly. He is only 45. Any ideas? This has been going on for about 5 months.

I'm getting married in Mexico in June and although I dont suffer with spots very often (havent had one now for about 10 weeks) when I do get one, I get ONE and its very BIG and it usually comes either on my nose or chin.

What is there that I can take with me in case the inevitable happens on my wedding day that will definitely get rid of it in time?

Whenever I got to the Dr. my bp shoots up rather high bottom number in the low 90's.
However I do have a home bp montior and it's always fine at home.
Does this happen to anyone else. Am I just nervous being at the Dr.
My Dr hasn't gave me anything for high bp cuz he seems to think it's just coz I am at the Dr.

A little about me
I am 32 female.
A little over weight. Overall health is fine

Thank you for all of you answers. I ended going to the ER bc I went into a seizure I do have bacterial meingitis. They also diagnosed me with snycope. I went into a seizure (I had never had one before in my life) I couldnt breath I also had shaking chills (rigour) and I blacked out. All remember is standing and starting shake and thinking why I cant I move my legs? my fiancee told me the rest.I am in the hospital receiving antibiotics through Iv and im on a lot of different medicine for the seizures the pressure to my head from the infection and antibiotics. I should make it through this in my opinion the 2 worse things were the seizure and the spinal tap to collect fluids. This is all from when I had my front teeth removed back in Dec due to a very infected abscess I was on antibiotics for a month and then they removed the teeth but the infection wasnt all gone and had leaked into my bloodstream and 2 my brain.Thanks to all for your help and concern but I should be fine here soon.

At the time i was very embarassed and brushed over it. She hasn't mentioned it since and i can't bring myself to tell her again. But its something i really want to talk to her about. Why do you think that she hasn't mentioned it? Do you think she thinks its not important? Or is it because at the time i didn't want to talk about it?

everyone gets down and depressed... i used too... every once in a while.

now im constantly breaking down
i know its just ALOT of stress...
family problems, boyfriend problems, school problems
its all caving in on me

but when i have breakdowns i cant function, i get REALLY bad migraines, and i feel empty and hopeless inside
i find myself driving and wanting to crash my car into a concrete wall
it scares me sometimes

i know its probably a phase... and im not sure if i have any big psychological problems... but lately i havnt been able to control my emotions... what should i do?

i want to goto a psychologist, but my mom will get mad at me and tell me its just a phase and to get over it because she has enough problems to deal with (my dad has ALS, a terminal illness)

im 19, so technically i culd go on my own, but i dont have alot of money and if i use insurance my mom would find out...

what should i do?
how much does it cost to visit one usually?

I was told on Tuesday that i have "mitral valve prolapse" and that i inherited it and that i will be fine. Well i take toporol xl 50 mg because the mitral valve prolapse makes my heart beat fast. For the past week i have noticed that my chest/lungs get tight, kind of like i have congestion in my chest, it comes and goes and sometimes its really bad and sometimes i can tolerate it. Is this normal for someone with the mitral valve condition. My cardiologist didn't go into details about the symptoms and i'm wondering if i should go see another doctor. I do have a sniffly nose and was wondering if this could be symptoms of a cold or something else. Any one out their with my condition having the same problems??? If so what is it???
