Health - 13 March 2007

I am not sure if I can go through with it. I have lower back pain, pinching and pulling and pain in my groin and I am not sure if that is from the prolapse or not. I have my surgery next month. Please if you have had this done or know someone who has had this done tell me how it was I am afraid of needles and everthing concerning hospitals but when I cough I feel something come out and go back in so I know it needs to be fixed and I am terrified. If you can tell me anything on this please do!!! Thanks

The RDA for protein is 0.8g/kg of body weight (if you are an endurance athlete use 1.3/kg and if you are a strength athlete use 1.6/kg).

okay. i have read a lil about what im about to ask but i have gotton differnt ideas on it in different places i have looked. ovulate(excuse my spelling) i guess thats what to call it, well thats what i have read up on. anyways heres the issue. i have a weird discharge. i have had it before years ago off and on(very very rarley) but now its more frequent than ever. its a snotty, slimy, jelly like substance when i wipe after i use the restroom. most of the time it is clear and somtimes there is a lot and sometimes very little and sometimes it has a yellow look to it. there is no smell to and i have no itching no burning no redness or anything. juss the slimy stuff. what exactly is this and why am i doing this? much appreciated thank you. i have had an std once before but it was nothing like this. this is nothing compared to the std. when i did it before i also was tested neggative when i had a check up but i forgat to ask about what it could possibly be because then it was rare. plus it dont happen everytime i use the restroom and i never have it on my clothing. only sometimes when i wipe.

My mom's had this disease since she was pregnant with me (24 years ago). She had a thyroidectomy and didn't need medication after that. Recently, she's been advised that her thyroid has grown back and she may need surgery again. My question isn't about her though (that's just background...) I've been experiencing hyperthyroid-like symptoms recently and wonder if I'm being psycho-somatic or there's something to worry about. (There is a genetic link). I've had drenching night sweats four of the last five nights, cannot rest when I sleep, am fatigued with a diffuse all-over body ache, have a sudden dark pigmentation framing my eyes underneath (almost like a sunglasses tan, but it's most definitely not as I don't wear them), have had irregualr heart palpitations and for some reason have had really itchy extremities...
The reason I ask here and not at the local doctors' is that I'm in a foreign country and it is a huge expense to see the doctor here as a non-resident...

How early in advance should I take the .25mg of triazolam my dentist prescribed me for my dentist appointment tomorrow? He called it in to my pharmacy so I haven't talked to him. Also there are 2 in the bottle. I guess they are .25mg each. Should I take both at seperate times (like an hour or hour and a half apart) or just take one?

Why do vegans and vegetarians ask questions about why they get sick and have health issues when they ignore the rules of an omnivore and remove a portion of their diet that other Earth animals require to survive?

Our diet and daily requirement of various nutritional elements does not necessarily say, "I can eat beans instead of a 4 oz cut of meat"....that's like saying a Pespi provides me the carbs of my bread requirements. Each and every food provides a different balance of fats, vitamins, carbs, amino acids, and other vital nutritients. I'm not saying everyone needs a 16 oz porterhouse (that's 4 servings), I'm stating all foods, in their small and proper proportions, are required for good nutrition. You can give up vegetables, if you wish, and you think you have a good reason to (fast food breakouts of E Coli might be a good reason to give them up), but that doesn't mean it is healthy.

Do you think it is really heathy to completely eliminate a food source from your diet?

Ever since I've gained weight my periods have become less and less frequent to the point that I've not had a period for two years now. Strangely enough though, when I do get a period it's almost always the day after I've had an orgasm. What would cause this? Also what are the risks I'm courting by not having a period and not going on pills to regulate my hormones? (I hate pills)

I am 19 years old, I have always been very very shy for as long as I can remember, but I want to get over this. When I was in high school, I always made very good grades, and always turned in my work, but when it came to having to speak in front of the class, most of the time I took a 0 to avoid speaking in front of people. When the teacher would make me speak I would be sick for days or weeks before. I want to go to college, but I am terrified because I know that I will have to talk in front of people. I am so sick of being this way. How do I become more confident and be able to talk to people comfortably??
