Health - 20 March 2007

Ive had perfect eyesite all my life (37 years), but I woke up yesterday and I cant read or see the numbers on my cell phone etc. unless I hold it as far away as possible. Now I know you start goiing near or far sighted later in life, but this happened overnight .Ive also had a couple of times today where my right arm went tingly num for about 30 seconds. Also, Im a little shaky and am sort of dizzy. I take Wellbutrin and Paxil. had been taking Lunesta to sleep but it didnt really work so my doc put me on Phenergan to sleep (off label of course). My quetion is 1. is this typical symptoms for an ailment , or is this not so uncommone with people that take Phenegran?

Hi,
I have just noticed a few pinpricks in purpley colour just on the side of my right breast. I'm not ill, no headache, no stiff neck, no sickness, nothing at all. I had a cold last week but other than that Im 100% healthy. These dots dont disappear when I press them with a glass - I DO suffer from extreme anxiety however... Now, is there anything else apart from meningitis which causes a rash with these type of spots which defy the glass test? Please answer fast, I feel stupid.

Well i eat about 3 packs of haribo a day- i know its bad for my health (cavities etc.) and i should have a balanced diet.
I went onto http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/What_is_diabetes/Myths/ and it says sugar cant give you diabetes, apart from increasing your chance of being overweight, which increases the chance of getting diabetes.
However loads of people i asked said that you can get diabetes. i e-mailed diabetic foundation and they said no, but im confused. Can you or cant you???

I am helping my 22 year old daughter do some research on glucose testing machines. Today she was diagnosed with glucose intolerance (fasting glucose level 118). She is also waiting for the results from a blood test for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Her doctor is 99% sure the test will come back positive for PCOS based on other symptoms she is experiencing. My daughter needs to get a glucose testing machine. We know there are several on the market and we would like to know people's real experiences with different makes and models. Ease of use, portablility, and as less pain as possible are of particular interest to my daughter. If you are using a glucose testing machine we would welcome your opinions and any advice you can pass on. Thank you for serious answers on this serious subject.

I have really bad anxiety when I go into this one class...because I'm afraid of being embarrassed. I know it sounds really stupid but I think that if I accidentaly drop a book or something that I will turn really red. Part of this is that I don't have any friends in that class (At ALL. Like not even someone I could ask a pencil from.) so if I do something stupid I can't make fun of myself.

So I end up worring about being embarrassed and then I think I turn red and its a big cycle. Its really really bad and one time I even got nauseous!

Help! How do I calm down?

I have noticed that, when I drink dark sodas from fast food restaurants, the color of my urine is lighter and sometimes almost clear compared to dark sodas from the bottle. Does this mean anything or not?

My Dad died from cancer that began in the liver and traveled thru his body. He started radiation and then switched to chemo. I was told because radiation was not working. What I wonder is, why would they think chemo would work? Now my sister has been diagnosed w/ breast cancer and wonders what her options are. Going by our Dad's experience, makes her choices harder to make. Can anyone who has gone thru either of these treatments, shed some light for us. The pros and cons of the treatment path you took.

My girlfriend has been worrying that she is having problems with her "pills". I'm not sure what she is on as far as this birth control but she says her periods are getting heavier and harsher. I have definitely noticed a change in mood as well. She has recently been given antibiotics which have somewhat depleted her "natural" immune system and now she is on a form of steroid to help give it a boost. Is it possibly the steroids?

this is taken from a writing and i was wandering what drug he was refferring to...??

"i could turn the world on it. i would turn the whole world on it just for second, minutes, hours, days, a lifetime. the feeling has to be the best in the world. Ive never got sleep that good. the sleep was so good i only needed about four hours of it. becuase it was so good, i felt so refreshed when i woke up. the high still alive in me. i wasnt sure if i was having dreams all night, or if they were hallucinations. whatever they were they were amazing. i took more later that day and went through the day, not feeling any true emotions. i fancy taking it when i write. it makes me conscious enough to write, but unconscious enough to think beyond how i could consciously. unconscious words pilled from my mind as i crashed into my fluffy white cloud. my bed has been so comfortable, everything feels so much more comfortable when im on it. softness feels beyond soft almost incomprehensible its so good."
