Health - 8 February 2007

I work out four times a week - weights and cardio. I eat a healthy diet. How low would my body fat need to be to get rid of it? Should I take up running?

I have two herniated discs and sciatica. My doctor gave me this for pain relief, along with muscle relaxers. Does anyone know if they will really help?

I was having palpitations and I would feel that when I laid down to sleep etc. and the doctor told me I was having arrythmia. I think she is wrong. What do you think? If I were having a heart disease, I belive that there would be other symptoms.

Anything with a scent can send my son and I into coughing fits.

We have wood and tile floors throughout the house.

PS My husband can't stand the smell of vinegar.

I have been diagnosed first at the hospital as having myofacial back pain.sent to physio where I was diagnosed as having wad 2 (whiplash stage 2) The medication does nothing to help. It has been six weeks from the car accident I happened to be a passenger in. I was sitting in our van between my little ones with a seatbelt on. (it only was a lapbelt) Rear ended. I have pain in my neck, come and go but extreme headaches, pain between my spine and my shoulder blades, a shoulder that feels like it will drop off at my arm. My right hand has two fingers that fall asleep. Sharp pains like i am stabbed in my mid back when I walk, Extreme low back pain, which never goes away. When I sit I get pains in my legs fast that gives the feeling like when you are hit fast by a shopping cart, but the pain stays. I cant stay on my feet long, My legs ache , left hip, and back gets sore.A hot bath makes numb left foot. How long does all this pain last. Has anyone healed past all this and how?

The fried food I ate 2 days ago did not agree with me and I still seem to be affected by it when going to the bathroom.

Hello,

I can't shake my addiction to fruit. I believe I require some kind of fruit detox -- I eat more than 30 servings of fruit everyday. In fact, my entire caloric intake is from fruit; apples, oranges, cantaloupe (sometimes four a day), pineapple, berries, and any and every fruit you can imagine.

What can I do? I am hopelessly addicted to fruit, and despite what people may think (that I don't want help) I really need it... I can't stop eating fruit. This is serious.

Thanks,

Av

My daughter is 20 months.

She currently has a double ear infection and she has had 7 ear infections total since she was born.

Her doctor wants to see her in 2 weeks so they can discuss putting tubes in her ears.

Has anyone else's child ever had this done?

What should I ask the doctor when I go back? Anything I need to know?

I seriously go through anguish over every decision... the big ones, like where to move (I've been trying to move for 2 years now, but keep hesitating and then not doing it)... and sometimes even really small/stupid ones, like which color of tweezers to buy. It's so ridiculous. And not only that, once I make decisions (either immediately afterward, or a day later, or whenever), I nearly always regret them and wonder the "What if" i had gone the other way, etc. I've wasted so much time, energy, and anxiety wishing I'd done various things differently, and it's really taking its toll on my life.

1. *What* could've made me this way, and
2. *How* can I stop?
I just want to be able to make decisions like a normal person: to decide easily, and to accept the outcome without feeling terrible, or with endless 2nd-guessing and ruminating every single time!

We have been trying to conceive since 2003. We've had 4 miscarriages in just the last two years, and the doctor wanted me to use birth control until we could do some more testing, to prevent another miscarriage. We're on "Pause" right now pending some insurance issues.

I have used Depo previously, was great for a while, but then it began causing major depression, weight gain, acne, etc. etc.

I came off Depo in 2003.

I have now been using the Nuvo Ring for 2 months. I have decided I REALLY do not like using hormonal BC, but I am almost scared not to use it. This is my second/going into the third ring now. I took the ring out on Saturday and still no period. Does this Nuvo ring, like the Depo, cease periods?

Could Nuvo be the cause for my increased acne, and mood swings? The doctor assured me that because of the method of delivery, side effects were much less. But I am not convinced now after having used it for a couple of months.

If so, which one and did it actually work? I'm about 50 pounds overweight, and want to shed it in order to look and feel better. I've just had a complete physical and I'm extremely healthy - my doctor said I could try one if I wanted.

Any sane advice will be taken into consideration!
Thanks!!!!

Lately I've had very irregular sleep pattern, i.e. one night I might go to bed at 11 PM and wake up at 8 AM (which is normal) and other ties I might go to bed at 4-5-6 even 7! AM and of course sleep till afternoon. I also tend to sleep too much (I feel best after 9-10 hours of sleep, which is really too much for a grown up) Can it be like an 'inborn' characteristic or I should try to sleep less and wake up even if I don't feel like I've had enough?

Any comments?

Tnx!

My husband ate a bag of those soy/rice chips and started to have a reaction. I thought maybe it was the seasoning he was sensitive to, he did eat the whole bag. He is also allergic to chic peas which I believe are a legume like peanuts.

Ok so for the past month I have been working out and have changed my diet. I found out I have Celiac Disease and I know that was affecting me at that point. I see a nutrionist once a week and a personal trainer 3 times a week, on top of cardio 4-5 times a week, but I haven't lost a pount. I am trying to lose like 10 pounds. I have tried diet pills and everything else. I have time to lose the weight, but does anyone have any advice as to what else I could do? I mean one month and I haven't seen any results I feel like.

Has anybody ever had a D&C because you haven't had your period in a long time, when you should have it? What else did the doctors do? Did it work? And any other info would really be apreciated!
