It seems a lot of people in the thirty or forty something age group found out from a random checks by a news channel they were bad cholesterol risk, even though they thought they were fit and healthy. In UK today only those over 50 are apparently entitled to a free check, and yet some say "bad cholesterol" poses a series risk to health and life if undetected. There also seems to be a lack of understanding among the population what bad cholesterol means, and I am far from clear on this myself? For example is changing from eating butter to eating Flora margerine good or bad for your cholesterol and is a feee check right? Advice please?

I'm prone to ankle sprains and I have recently sprained my ankle again. I went to the doctor and he told me that it is quite a mild sprain and it would heal within 2 weeks. But it has been 3 wees plus now and it is still swollen and it is slightly painful at times. It is not swollen in the morning when I wake up but it swells when I come home from school even though I did not walk much having taken a cab home everyday. And I wear an ankle guard and sometimes an ankle brace with it too. Also, the front part of my foot(ball of my foot) hurt when I walk after some time even though it is just for a short distance. Why is this so? I wear good and comfortable sports shoe and also I did not have such a problem when I sprained my ankle in the past.

I'm just wondering if you women out there NEED your purse, or if it can be lived without.

The reason I ask is because I'm writing a novel, and am thinking about having a female character who doesn't use a purse... but I first want to know if it's something that can be lived without, or if there are needs (like the menstrual period) which demand having one handy.

So, the question is, do you *need* your purse? And, if so, what are your *needs* for which you use it? Thanks. :-)

For the past year, I've felt like there's this huge hole in my life; but I don't know what I need to do to fill this hole.

I have every reason to be happy, I have a nice home, nice car, I have a university degree, a wellpaying job...

I've felt this way for the last year ever since my last relationship ended, but I do't ever think of the girl, so I don't think that's it; I am not totally happy with my job, it's in finance, but I basically help rich ppl get richer..maybe I need a more meaningful job...

I feel like I am in a total rut, not really depressed, or the blues, but not all that great either....

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with me or a solution to fix it? I smoke occasionally and that helps, but it's not a permanent fix.

Thanks

Just yesterday, I went to the gym and bad thing happened when I was training. I suddently felt dizzy and had headache. Then, I slowly lost my vision and hearing ability. I tried to drink some water and take deep breath but It didn't work. I almost passed out at that time. I couldn't even stand up for feel anything. After 15 mins, I gained my vision again but things' still blurred. I walked outside, took some deep breaths, and slowly recovered 20 mins after.

I searched the internet and found out some reasons but they aint work in my case:
1. Lack of sleep: I actually took a nap (3+ hours) before going to the gym.
2. Have some heart diseases: I don't think so.
3. High cholesterol: I'm just 19, skinny, and Asian. How come I have high cholesterol in my blood?
4. Overtraining: I just go to the gym 2 times/week. 2 or 2,5 hours per time
5. Lack of Oxygen: Maybe, But I did take deep breaths and it didn't work.

Any answers? please let me know or give me some advices. Appreciate it.

I don't normally agree in asking for diagnosis over the internet like this but i need a place to start some research of my own.

My mum flips in and out of moods in seconds, she becomes so enraged that she shouts and drags up anything and everything to hurt people, from the ridiculous eg. 'i caused my grandfather's death', despite the fact that he had a long term illness. to the even more ridiculous ' you need serious mental help, all your friends are crazy too!' -what the? she is extremely bitter and self absorbed. She seems to find it terribly difficult to sympathise or empathise with anyone else's problems, yet when she has a minor problem she expects everyone to drop everything and come to her aide. She also thinks because she is slightly stressed it is an excuse to be a complete nasty ***** to everyone around her. She is obsessed with control and obsessed with money. She thinks everyone is out to rip her off somehow. She can become extremely angry, aggresive and vindictive in

Hi,
I don't know what to do. I am a type one diabetic and have been since I was 13 months old. When having a low blood sugar I would feel week a shaky in the past. Now I get a low and I also have a horrific panic attack. I would compare it to a conciouss seizer. I throw myself around acting like Im drunk or on drugs and really scare anyone who see's it. Not to mention scaring myself. This has just started happening and I don't know why. I feel self conciouss about everything I cant seem to control my actions. Tonight I had a horrible "episode" at work. I started to pull my clothes and I kept throwing myself around and into the floor. I also had a hard time breathing. I don't know if anyone has ever heard of this type of reaction. If so do I need some mental medication? What is going on? Please help. I appreciate it.
