Health - 1 February 2007

I have not worked for the last month. I have recently moved to another country and have signed up with 2 employment agencies, but they haven't been able to offer me anything. I am qualified with a degree in Economics and Mgmt, and 3 yrs managerial experience in a large bank in my home country, but that seems to mean nothing here.

Consequently, I am home all day feeling very bored, sorry for my self and depressed. I don't want to go out b/c that involves spending money and I am already surviving on fumes as it is. The few friends I have here all work and while they are sweet and supportive, I am really becoming embarassed by the gentle inquires about my luck with the job search. basically I am alone all day, bored, and have minimal human interaction. Any advice what I can do to pass the time and lift my spirits? I am becoming desperate :-(

Usually nobody can beat me at Trivial Pursuit, or any games like that, but if I read the newspaper, or a book, I cannot hardly tell you a thing about it an hour later.

I think BMI is not accurate at all since it doesn't take into consideration body-frame, age etc.

Now, this is a REAL case, my ex-girlfriend. She was a model when younger weighing in about 49-50 kg (110lbs) -her height is 1,76 m or 5'9 - and she was just looking gorgeous, nice looking behind, the breasts were definetely there :P, etc. She didn't look "anorexic" to me and she was completely healthy. Now, 10 years later (she's 30) she's about 64 kg (142 lbs) and she's got quite a lot of cellulite on her thighs, saggy looking skin on arms, not quite overweight but definetely approaching that marker...Now, according to BMI she's almost underweight at a BMI of 20,5 - 21. When she was weighing 49 kg her BMI was 16 which is classified as severely thin, sick ,etc. This is stupid, she looked and feeled much healthier than, she was exercising and NO health problems whatsoever.
In case U're wondering, her putting on weight wasn't the reasons we split up, we had other problems.
So do U agree ????

I’m 23 and I weight 80 kilos and I’m165 cm tall. For the past two months, I’ve been swimming 7 days a week for an hour to 90 minutes, and also I’ve been working out with my personal trainer for an hour, 4 times a week. And I’ve been on a 1200 to 1400 calorie diet. I’m hoping to loose 50 pounds. I’m wondering if I’m doing too much exercise. Do I swim too much? I don't want to end up with big arms. what do you recommend?

Symptoms sound like one of those commercials: constant going, trouble going, not a steady stream, etc. I told him not to worry about it, but is he a hypochondriac?

My significant other has been going through menopause. I'm trying to understand and be patient because I love this gal with all my heart, but I am running out of patience and feel guilty about it.

We were extremely physical for a long time when we first began our relationship. I've never experienced anything like it and am reluctant to let that part of our relationship go away. But it's not my choice. She doesn't seem to miss the intimacy. We've been active on rare occasions, but nothing like it was before, and I think when we are physical, she's doing it just for me. I don't want "mercy sex"...I want my lover back, or at least some of the passion we had.

I've tried to talk to her about it, but she gets offended and says I need a younger woman. I don't want anyone else but her...nothing else would compare. Sometimes I wish we wouldn't have met because you don't miss what you never had.

Help me please...I don't want to loose her, but I'm not dead yet.

I would like council regarding my situation. I was in optometrist office for a regular checkup on Tuesday Jan 30th, and she had mistakenly put in the wrong drops in my eyes that caused my pupils to dilate for several days and not several hours. It's Thursday Feb 1st and I still can't see without the use of glasses -my pupils are still dilated. I have 20:20 vision ordinarily. What should I do? This is causing me and my family much distress.

Several days ago I noticed that the top of my foot as well as a portion of my calf muscle felt slightly "numb." There isn't the "tingly" sensation that you get when your foot falls asleep... but it is close. There is also a very, very slight loss of muscular strength that I notice when I walk or move my foot around. (Sort of like when your foot falls asleep).

I don't have any other symptoms and haven't had any injuries of any sort. I'm in good health (that I know of), not overweight, mid-thirties, etc. It's just strange that one morning I woke up and I had a bit of this numb feeling going on.

I'll likely check with my Dr. in the next day or two. Does anyone have any thoughts re: what this might be? My Dr. isn't a brain surgeon if you know what I mean. So, I want to encourage him to check certain things if he doesn't think of it. (Thanks!)
