Health - 28 February 2007

I'm 27, I'm 5'8 and 155 pounds at the moment. If I only exercise let's say I swim or run 3 or 4 times a week I just can't lose weight. I can eat a cereal in the morning with an apple, a decent sandwich at lunch and something light for dinner but i can't lose weight! BUT if I get diet pills I lose a little bit but if i don't exercise for like 2/ 3 days I feel I get fat again! I've been on a diet since I was 14 and I dont want to depend on diet pills my whole life! I'm really depressed and can't stand myself right now. I don't even want my hubby around because I feel like a cow and he just says that i need to exercise more but hey, I work 9 hours and sometimes I'm so stressed that i dont want to know anything about working out and stuff. I really need support please!

Ok, I'm over weight. I hold my weight so good that people guess that I'm 50m pounds lighter then what I actually am, lol. Now I really need to lose weight...I've tried diet and exercise, and I've gained more weight!! So I need to know the most effective exercise for waist down, the best diet plan, and the safest and effective diet product and I need to know from someone who has used it before. As for the product, I need opinion, and not just tablets...fruits that help you lose weight. Everything!! I need to lose

My husbands knee started hurting a couple of days ago, not bad, but today he's in severe pain. He doesnt remember hurting it and he doesnt have any swelling or bruising. He has tried calling the doctor, but he's not in today and he refuses to go to the e.r. Has anyone had any experience with these symptoms? What could this be and what can we do until he can see the doctor? Thanks!

A 12 yr old boy in MD died due to not having recieved Dental care in time to prevent the infection from going to his brain. The mom is on Medicaid and she works, but has no dental insurance offered - This was a needless and unneccessary death of a child due to not being to find a dentist and specialist that was willing to accept medicaid. So are dentist just in it for the money- or do they REALLY CARE about the work they do and the need that exists among the poor?

I am a 30yr old woman. My husband and I will have been married for 2 yrs in April. My sex drive, which used to be insatiable before we got married, has now about fizzled out it seems. I've heard advertisements on the radio for this condition and wondered what the symptoms are and how they go about determining if you have this, and how they treat it. We have 2 kids and very busy schedules. I'm wondering if this is a medical problem I'm suffering with. I love my husband with all of my heart and sex has always been an integral part of our relationship and it bothers me that I am not interested in making love anymore.

I work 2 full time jobs and go to school full time. I am either working or at school Mon-Sat 7am to 11pm. Sunday is my day off, but there's no time to relax since I'm running around cleaning and doing errands that I have no time to do during the week. I quit eating fast food and fried foods b/c they made me feel worse, but my eating habits are poor at best. I try to stay away from candy too. I don't drink pop, but I find myself more and more reaching for a Red Bull or Coffee during the day. I don't want to rely on caffeine to keep me energized, b/c I always end up crashing. I also get around 5 hours of sleep per night.

Any natural things that would help me be more energized? More sleep and quitting a job/school is not an option. Maybe some stretches, or breathing techniques? I'm just sick of looking and acting like a zombie.

Recently went to the doctor and had my TSH levels tested. My tsh level was 0.56. While this number is in the normal level, is it the high end or low end. Which is this number closer to, hyper or hypo?

also he tested my fsh level and it was 3.7. where does this fit in the perimenopause/menopause scale?

any help would be appreciated! I just don't understand why I have normal levels, but have so many symptoms.

thanks............

All I ever hear is people saying to eat as much fruit as possible, but what about their sugar content? I understand that fruits contain nutrients and whatnot that are good for us while processed sugar products do not, but sugar is sugar isn't it?

Hi. I just woke up with an issue in my jaw. I've had diagnosed TMJ for some time, and when I fully open my jaw, it "clicks" audibly. Anywho, I just dealt with a couple shoulder dislocations, which required surgery, and months of physical therapy, and that wasn't so bas as much as a time killer, but I've been paranoid about jaw dislocations ever since I learned about them. Why can't I open my mouth? If I try to open my mouth beyond a certain point (barely wide enough to speak properly), I feel a tightness in the left side of my jaw, up near the ear, where the jaw hinges in, and I can't open any further. Just a minute ago, I found it seemed to have loosened a bit, and I can open fully now. However, the jaw still feels somewhat unusual. I'm quite terrified now; what should I do? Do I make an appointment? What could this be? Before, when it was bad, I could open when I pressed hard on the joint with my fingers. Does that help? Anyone know what I can expect in the future? Thanks :(
