Health - 23 February 2007

She is an active soccer player, and all around athelete. I do though think that drinking protein shakes could help her excel and help with muscle development and fatigue. I'm not trying to make her a power lifting champ or anything but would like to give her a healthy drink with more protien than Ovaltine. These products work for me but am not sure about my daughter. I wouldn't want give her something that is bad for her body. The products I am talking about are from GNC. They are mostly whey protein drinks. Anybody have a clue?

I was in a car wreck a year and about 6 months ago. I went to the doctor and he told me that I had nerve damage in my left leg and it cannot be treated. My mother and my whole family told me the same thing. I have a lot of trouble walking, I'm always in pain, my leg always goes into the right on its own, its not straight and my hip is always hurting. I would just like to know if my leg will be paralyzed from nerve damage. Thank you!

I just found out that I am pregnant, a week over due. I would like to know if any of you out there know of a good herbal remedy. I know that black and blue Cohosh, Penny Royal, & Slippery Elm Bark are some of the herbs that help with that kind of thing, but how much to take for how long? Any other remedies you know of? I dont want to do anything drastic, just a little nudge to possibly get nature to change it's mind.

She started her menstrual just over a year ago, I told her she needs to have a PAP once a year, even though she's not sexually active she can still develope cysts that if they go untreated could leave her unable to become pregnant in the future. She says no way not doing it. Now she needs a physical to join track and field and one of the questions on the form for the doctor is "genetalia". I told her that probably means a female exam including a PAP smear. She says, "fine I won't join track." I told her she needs to get one anyway she may as well get something for it (getting to do sports in highschool) but she says she refuses. When I think about the doctor using the spectrum on her I cringe, she has made a promise to God to wait to have sex until she's married, so this may sound crude but , I don't want anything (inserted) nothing at all until her wedding night. My question to you guys is... do they do a PAP in a sports physical? Do you think she needs one and how do I convince her?

My 85 year old grandmother is being verbally abusive toward me. She sends me hate mail and writes horrible things about my sister and parents to me. All of this started when her daughter, my aunt, died from cancer and now it is getting worse. She wont let anyone see or speak with my 93 year old grandpa, and we fear that she is abusing him too. Should I try and have a relationship with her or just move on? I feel guilty that I am not trying harder to "fix" what has happened, but it is out of my hands (nobody can undue death). Any advice?

I am going on 6 weeks pregnant. At the begining of the week I went to the ER because I was spotting brown blood. The did an ultrasound and saw a gest. sac and a yolk sac, but the doc. said the heartbeat was a little slow and I have bleeding around the placenta. I was diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage. I called my doctor the next day and he basically just told me to rest and not have sex, he didn't want to see me or recheck my blood levels. He just said call back if bleeding gets heavy. Well the bleeding didn't get heavy but I am still spotting brown all day, everyday. Not enough I need to wear a pad or anything, but it is always there when I wipe after using the bathroom. I has been going on for four days now. Also my lower back has started to hurt. I was wondering how much longer until I miscarry or has it happened already with just the spotting?

I need help with my acne issues. It's not just horrible but its enough to bother me. I need someone to tell me what to use to clear it up. I have tried neutrogena acne wash, clean and clear asrtigent, and clearasil acne pads, and they all don't help. Can somebody please give me something for my acne that is inexpensive yet effective?
