Health - 3 March 2007

this is a little embarassing but, I wanna lose weight badly, i'm following a very calorie restricted diet...and exercising a couple hour a day ontop of the 6 times a week of hockey.

I'm told i'm healthy, but my gym said I need to lose 25-30 lbs and they said I had 38% body fat. I can't help but see this large figure infront of me

But I can't help it...I feel so consumed with this...I'm taking a few things to try and help...diet pills and a couple of intestinal cleansers a day. I don't have an eating disorder, and I know theres no way i'm gonna get on. I've got more control then that.

But i feel so consumed...I wanna lose the weight so badly...but I don't know why...and I feel myself getting mroe and more consumed each day. That thought of consumption scares me....does that make sense?

My mom always told me that it was bad to look into a microwave while it was working because the waves would hurt my eyes. Is this true?

Just wondering, what is the proper way to control a bleeding shunt. Of course there is a high flow of arterial blood comming out of the site. I've seen a nurse apply arterial/venous pressure above and below the site of the bleeding shunt. Can I get confirmation on that?

i was wondering if anyone experiences the same thing that i do. i have a resting heartbeat in the mid to high 50s. like 57, and most of the time for the past year i get shortness of breathe, lightheaded and feel like im going to pass out. I never have passed out at all, i been to a doctor and cadiologist. both said my heart is fine they did a ekg and holter monitor. everything came back fine. they said i prob just have to deal with this until i grow out of it. does anyone else get this to, bc it sucks i hate feeling like this. could this be anxiety causing this everyday before i become a hypocrondiac and been to the doctor a lot and he keeps saying nothing is wrong. im a 23 yr old male, in good health. any input would help

So I've researched it plenty, but has anyone on here tried to the Birth Control injection (Depo Provera) or has any opinions about it?
I'm trying to find the right birth control method for me, and I know the Pill is out because I can't even remember to take antibiotics when I'm supposed to.

So what's everyone's take on the BC injection? Suggestions? Stories? Opinions?

Thanks.

i think that I may have gonorrhea. How long should I wait for treatment? Should I go to an Emergency Room? I've read that it could cause infertility. I would hate it if i were infertile. How long does that take? it's the weekend... and I think I contracted it last Monday. Should I wait till Monday morning or will that risk dire consequences? Prompt answers from learned people with links would be helpful.

I get thirsty a lot even though I drink a lot of water and my eyes get blurred even when im am wearing my glasses not to mention it runs in the family. Could I have diabetes?

My right arm is suddenly so lame that I cannot adjust the rear view mirror with my right hand and I can barely get the key in the ignition with my right hand without the help of my left hand.

In the last five months I have gone from my regular MD, to a family orthopedic surgeon, now a professional-sports surgeon and most recently a brain surgeon. I have had two MRI's, two X-rays a nerve test (EMG) and four cortisone shots.

It would seem that I am in good hands, but there are two things that do not make sense to me. First is that I have two separate issues. One is a pinched nerve causing the loss of strength in my right arm and second is the garbage (bones spurs & such) and clicking/popping in my right shoulder joint that needs to cleaned up and ultimately have the joint replaced. Is this a strange coincidence maybe?

But the other thing that does not make sense to me, is that both the brain surgeon and the sports medicine guy agree that

He found out he had a huge tumor in one lung. The docs said they would remove it and he would be cancer free. It did not spread and they removed it with no problem. Now they want him to go through chemo. They say there is no cancer anywhere in his body yet the doc says he would still place bets that my dad will die of lung cancer... Why would he say that? If they removed it and there is no cancer left why would he need chemo and still probably die from it? He never smoked...

OKay, so i'm a thick chick. 5 ft 3 and pleasanly plump. When I'm in the mirror I cant stand my naked reflection. I have a very pretty face and don't have any trouble getting guys. But keeping them is where I have the problem. When wer'e goin' at it I always want the lights off and have to have some sort of cover over us. They seem to be annoyed by that.
Years ago, I was with this guy who always made me so comfortable that I forgot all about all my insecurities. How do I get back there? And guys does that bother you, or do you not give a f*ck, just as long as your'e gettin' some? Or does it matter whether the girl's skinny or not?

I know a person who is in his 50's (average I.Q) and seems to display some of the symptoms, even though O.D.D. is typically not an adult disorder. He does things that make people upset or annoyed with him, and has managed to drive me crazy! Some of the things include causing arguments and controversy, insulting people indirectly, obsession to be noticed by others, talking too loudly, ignoring "common courtesy" manners in public or private, and saying the same phrases or doing the same things during specific activities or cues that seem to bring out OCD-like symptoms.

He was never really loved by his parents and came from an emotionally and physically turmultuous household. Unfortunately, though, his behavior seems to drive people away like having bad breath.

What can be done for a grown man who exihibits such behavior? Is there a particular method of behavior modification that can be implemented on a subconscious level that could positively alter these types of behaviors?

I have many tanks and I love my fish... My mother in law has stage 4 cancer and is confined to a full time care facility. I am thinking of getting her a betta to keep her comapny when I can't be there. I get such a kick just watching mine - she has never been a fish person, but loves dogs, cats, birds and all animals. Do you think she would like a fish? I know I would but I'm not sure if she would feel the same... Any thoughts?

Hi, I am a kid, and I worry a lot. I don't mean a little, I mean ALOT! I will worry about things that don't concern me. I will get panic attacks, or what I think are panic attacks. I will start breathing very fast and I will start crying. I will get really hot and I will just be really shaky. I am very depressed, and I don't know what to do. I worry about everything and don't know how to stop worrying!!!
