Health - 20 February 2007

Im 18 & sr in hs, i was thinking about trying for baseball, but i don't know if it's worth it. I've had very bad luck with sports (couldn't play soccer this year cause of an injury) & went out for baseball as a soph just to be the last one cut (literally the last since the jv coach couldnt decide & kept me an extra tryout just end up cutting me). Then he said the reason was cause the Vars coach didnt think i would make it, but now that same JV coach is on varsity, & he seemed to at least think i had some talent since he kept me & was the last cut.

However, I didnt play last year or tryout, & there's a lot of politics w/ sports as you're expected to play in private summer leagues (basically the seniors are already picked). That coach seemed to like me, particularly as a fielder (which means i would have to practice a lot on hitting)

Is it worth being cut again just to see what might happen, or keep some dignity from these sports/politics(& not leave hs as the 1 who was cut)?

This current flu is killing me! I've been to two different doctors since Feb 7. Both say I have the virual flu, I didn't know there was such a thing. They have taken blood and done chest x-rays and said both are ok.
Symptoms....fever going wild! Its been as low as 95.1, and high as 102.3. It will change as much as 3-4 degrees within just a couple hours.
Tired! Can't get enough sleep! I can sleep 12 hours, get up, and within 1-2 hours, exhausted again. And the usual, muscle aches, chills come and go. This has been going on for 2 weeks now, I'm getting concerned. All my shots are current (military reservist here), in good shape, work outside year round.
Is this normal for this strain? If so, how long will this last?

I have a constant (bearable - but noticeable) knee pain / soreness these past few months, and I'm not sure why.

I do not play any heavy sports or anything of that sort. I'm 19 years old, so it shouldn't be a problem due to age...

It's always a soreness in the front of my knees (maybe bottom half of the front around the knee caps?).

The only thing I can think of would be riding my bike - I don't do heavy cycling or anything along those lines - I simply ride my bike to campus and back once or twice a day - it's about a mile away.

I just started riding my bike to campus each day this past school year. The only thing is I believe the bike is a proper fit - it's comfortable and doesn't seem like the seat is too high/too low (maybe slightly too low but hardly at all). I also stay in a low gear, as only the first couple of gears on my bike actually work.

So my knees usually hurt in the front after I do anything that puts any kind of stress on them - ride my bike, sit cross-legged, etc

I started having wet dreams at 16. I had them about once every 3 months back them. When I was 18, I was having them about once a month. I'm now 19 and I'm having them once every two weeks or so now (I even had two in one night, once). I want to get them to stop for the following reasons:

1. They leave a mess and I wake up glued to my sheets.
2. Ejaculation is painful for me (all my parts get really sore while I'm releasing my life force).

I do not masturbate and am sexually inactive. One person once told me that the reason I experience soreness is that my parts don't get used much (since wet dreams are all they get used for). He told me that if I started masturbating a reasonable amount, my parts would get more of a workout, they would no longer get sore and I would feel only pleasure during releases. He also said masturbating would help stop the wet dreams. Should I start masturbating frequently to stop having wet dreams? Or is there a better way to stop?

Does anyone have stretches or SOMETHING that will help with the pain I am experiencing with this foot problem. I already use custom insoles and a brace/boot to sleep in that keeps my foot in a neutral position. The pain is in the arch and heel, I want to stay away from surgery.

I have one all lined up with an appointment and everything, but they said nothing about my old records. Isn't that something they need? My question is, do I need to go personally pick up my records, or do they have to mail them to the new doctor? I don't think there are any laws saying that I can't have my records, right??

Please help?

This might sound really disgusting and a lot of you may get squeaved out. But I don't care. I have two wonderful little pups, whom I adore. However, I am very affectionate with one of them. My little, Princess, kisses me all over the face and sometimes in the mouth. Someone told me it's very unhealthy for me, because they have some kind of worms in their mouths? Is this true? I never heard of this before. She had also stated that it might even give you trouble when trying to conceive. I think it's kind of silly.
