Health - 20 February 2007

I work landscaping and this time of year is pretty slow so my boss usually has me do little jobs, today i was sanding one of the company trucks in preparation to be painted. I was sanding for about 2 hours without a mask or face protection, i didnt think anything of it at the time until i got home and sneezed a handful of blue mucus, which i now take it as that implies i must have inhaled the paint dust coming off the truck.
how bad is this for me?
should i be concerned in anyway? (I feel fine as far as i can tell)

I just enrolled in a gym with a goal of getting in better shape. I want to run, lift, etc. I am an average height, rather skinny male. I want to gain muscle, but not too much mass - I want an "athletic" body. I am starting to eat healthy, following the food pyramid. I go to school during the day and then I don't work or do anything else so I have plenty of time. I don't know where to begin. I don't have much but a pair of sneakers, gym shorts, t-shirts, and a gym bag. I don't know what is recommended. Please help me out, thanks!

My dr. prescribes me tylenol 3 for my menstrual cramps, but I ran out last month. My mom gave me a lortab that says "watson 540", isn't this considered a "5"?

I don't want to be loopy, but I can't live w/these cramps. What does it mean and should I take it?

I have just gained 10lbs from the winter weather being to cold for me to go out and run every day like i normally do, so i decided to take some action. i am going on the "special K" diet. " lose 6 lbs in 2 weeks. " you have to eat the ceral for breakfast and lunch and then just eat a normal dinner. im going to do this and also take a multi vitamin and do tons of sit ups. when you lose extra fat on your belly, DOES THE SKIN HANG LOOSE THERE? also, does my diet seem like a good idea?

What are probiotics? How are they helpful? Sould I consider buying products containing them or is this just another over-marketed concept with few tangible health benefits?

I recently noticed that on the top of my teeth on the top of my mouth and on the bottom of the teeth on the bottom of my mouth there are lines of brown and yellow. What is this? How do I get rid of it? Could it pose a potential problem?

I brush and floss my teeth every night.
I mouth wash every morning and night.

What could be causing this?

I've got a massively infected tooth that needs to be pulled, and I have TMJ. I've heard some people say that when your teeth move after an extraction, it makes TMJ worse. Can anybody tell me if I need to worry? The tooth being pulled is a top back molar, if that matters.

I'm going to see a specialist soon regarding my thyroid. My OB/GYN has been monitoring the gland for a year now. My youngest child (I have 3) is 19 mo and I'm 40 yrs old. Menopause comes somewhat early in my family as well. I've been having problems w/ my period for a while & feeling tired all the time. My GYN said that tests showed that my thyroid is producing what my body needs but is working too hard to do it. My sister had 1/2 of hers removed in 2005. What should I make sure I discuss w/ my doctor? Please share your experiences with me.

According to optometry science, eyeballs can become enlongated from front to back, or horizontally, which results in myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness).

If so, what exactly is it that changes the shape of the eyeball before the lens hardens or changes curvative? Even children have vision changes - so anyone or ODs know the answer?
