Health - 21 February 2007

I've been cutting back on my calorie intake (salt too) and am experiencing some terrible heartburn and awful headaches. I've been trying to follow the food pyramid and I HAVE been eating much healthier foods. I also work out an hour everyday for 5 days a week. Has anyone else experienced this and is it normal to go through this at first?

Today at school i was closing my binder and my wrist got cought in the rings. It hurt like hell but i didn't think anything of it. This happened like 9 hours ago and it still huts like hell. I lost some feeling in my fingers. My hand and wrist are weak. My hand is tingly it feels like pins and needlels. The pain is shooting up my arm towards my elbow. What could have happened and why does hurt so much after 9 hours?

OK, soooo last night I was in new orleans and slipped down a flight of stairs...well, like 6 or 7 stairs...it hurt really bad and at first I couldnt really breathe. I could walk but everything hurt really really bad. Today I woke up and my back is sore, my ribs feel sore, my side is sore, and my leg is sore. Also on my leg I have a HUGE bruise, like the size of my hand. And as the day as gone on, its gotten bigger. Do you think theres a chance I fractured a rib? Or maybe theres internal bleeding? I'm still having a hard time breathing and everything hurts when I move. What should I do??

I am not saying they don't work or people shouldn't take them. I am on them now, but it's just not natural that I should have to take these kinds of pills for the rest of my life. And even if you had in exercise and other things like that I am still depressed. I have felt like there is something wrong with me. That there is something I am missing, probably in my diet. My dad gave me this website to look at where it gives you a lot of helpful information on health and other things. I am going to try adding some of things they mentioned, which are just basic things like fish oils and other stuff. But also sitting in the sunlight for an hour a day is also another good idea, especially if you have S.A.D. But I just think its wrong that nobody ever suggest alternatives when it comes to people in the health profession. But I've been told they have trouble thinking outside of what they were taught or what they believe to be true. But we should be given alternatives to pills.

Okay... I'm fourteen, and I finally decided to research my eyelash-plucking habit on the Internet. I'm starting to regret doing so... I found out about trich, and now I'm really, really scared... and I don't usually get scared this easily. For 5 years, my parents have pestered me.... "Why do you pull on your eyelashes?" "You need to STOP THAT!" And I'm afraid they won't understand if I tell them I think I have trich... they'll think I'm being ridiculous. I really, really, REALLY need some help, guys... I want to defeat this problem w/o my parents finding out. I know it's possible to overcome it w/o medicine... but I need more tips. I just found out about this condition today. Help, PLEASE!! :(

IM deppressed. I admit it. I want some phycological help,but I don't want to tell my parents. Im not even in High School yet.
My dad got angry with me. He had said "WHY DO I HAVE TO TELLYOU KIDS EVERYTHING? YOU CAN'T DO SHI* RITE!" Then he said "What does your room look like?" and I wasn't going to lie...so i said messy. "He said YOUR NOT GOING TO SOCCER PRACTICE!" I got really sad b.c i havent been all week. But I went to clean up my room. Then I forgot to take my shoes off before I went inside, and I got yelled at more. Then I had left my dishes in the sink, and he got mad at me and threw the glass plate forcefully on the ground, and it smashed into pieces. Then he told me to clean it up. I felt like I was picking up the broken pieces of my heart. I was crying then, and thinking about this guy who all of a suddeen turnd on me and started to hate me. I like him and We used to be best friends. Im depressed, heart broken, and lately, being ignored. What do i DO?!
