Health - 23 March 2007

I've read many different viewpoints on mixing alcohol and antibiotics. Lets get something straight here, I'm not looking to get drunk - but it is my friends birthday, and I rarely get a day off of work, so I would like to have a glass of wine or two. Problem being the Pharmasist didn't insert one of those interaction sheets with this medication - anyone have any specifics on Norofloxacin?

This isn't OCD I know now, it can't be. I know I am in reality, but i'm not sure. What if i'm not really typing this message? What if I am working and just thinking in my mind I am typing this message and about to get fired? What if I am somewhere with someone and don't know it? Am I going crazy, the computer I am typing on is real, it has to be, right? I know I am here, but this is bothering me because what if I am not? I can't get help, I have no insurance or medical coverage.

I am currently expecting my second (and last child). I really want to get back into shape once the baby is born, so my husband and I are seriously considering purchasing a Boxflex home gym (he wants to use it as well). We already have purchased a good quality elliptical machine, so we want something that will work on muscle tone and definition. Plus, I hate free weights. Has anyone had good results with it? Does it only take 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week like they claim? Also, which model would you recommend?

Thanks a lot!

My partner had a cold which he gave to me. He got better and then a few days later when I was getting better he suddenly gets sick again. He told me that I have passed the cold back on to him. However, I dont think that you can catch the same cold twice. Is that right??

I love to talk, but most of the time it's about things I don't like or things that annoy me or bad things that have happened. I know that most of the time I am very negative about everything, without even realizing it.

What are some things I can do to be more positive?

I hate getting razor burn when I shave my legs but it happens every time. I use a good moisturizing shaving cream and a good razor but it doesn't help. I don't have sensitive skin, so I'm clueless as to why it keeps happening. Any suggestions as to how to avoid this ?

The reason I ask is because a Mexican co-worker of mine recently had a nervous breakdown because of family stress. I have also seen and read quite a few documentaries lately on the stresses that Latinas have trying to balance things in their life.

I feel like I'm eating too much food...but then again, I'm really worrried about food intake lately. So,yeah. I've just finished lunch and this is what i've eaten thus far today. Peach lowfat yogurt, 6 inch turkey sub with provalone cheese on white ( i knew i should have went for the wheat wrap...) and 6 ounces of iced tea. I'm planning on 2 cups of linguine with tomatoe sauce or butter and salt for dinner and then my usual 150 calorie protein shake after practice. Plus, much more water throne in there. I'm fairly active, with a basketball practice for 3 hours a day and then usually an hour on my own. What do you think? I'm just really worried about it.

Or did you get a lot more done that you might have once procrastinated on? I quit recently (almost 3 weeks) and have come across this. Curious if anyone else ever had.

I hate being one of those women on here, but I have to ask.

I just finished my third month of being on the pill. I know that periods can take a while to sort themselves out when you first start the pill. But I'm four days into my "no pill" week, and I haven't started my period yet. The first two months I was on the pill, it started later and was shorter, but I still had it.

I haven't missed a single pill, and I've been on time all but twice, and I took the pill the moment I remember (6 a.m. both times the next morning). Yes, I've had intercourse.

I had cramping four nights ago, and then I've had nothing since.

Should I be worried? Does this fall under the realm of "normal" for a newer pill user?

I'd really rather not do a pregnancy test until I show more signs of a reason to think I'm pregnant.

I think that's all of the details. No lectures about "unprotected sex." I've been with my boyfriend for four years, and I'm 28.

Im concerned about my teenage daughter. She seems to be worrying more about how many calories she eats everyday and she thinks she needs to lose weight even though she is already thin for her age. What symptoms are there that she is anorexic? Eg...What would her mass be?? And all that sort of thing...


Thanks x any answers appreciated because I'm really starting to worry about her. And before anyone says go to the doctors I've already got an appointment it's just I want some views off other people incase I'm just being silly.
Thanks again x

My bf is diabetic and when his blood sugar gets low (like if something happens and he cannot eat before work) he get very grumpy. He is type 1 and knows that he gets this way. Honestly I am hypoglycemic and can be the same way but try to control it.
He thinks that it's okay to be rude to everyone because his blood sugar is low.. is there anything i can say to get him to stop? I don't feel that it is fair.

IE. TODAY came home for lunch we were debating a roommate situation he told me to "f"ing leave him alone then was rude about me being quiet and when i said i was leaving him alone he stomped out of the house without finishing eating.

thanks

Can anybody who has any knowledge & has used Anabolic steroids please give me some advice .

I have been at the gym now for just over a month and am on a strict diet of small weighed portions of Carbs with a weighed portion of Protein. This is to first loose my excess body fat and at the same time give me enough energy to do cardio work & hit the weights as hard as I can After loosing 2 - 2.5 st I am then going to bulk back up. The diet is working well but I am just wondering if there is anybody who can tell me of any good Anabolic steroids to help me get rid of the excess fat quicker. I am currently taking Clenbuterol Hcl drops and they seem to be working but im very impatient and would like to 'cheat' a little. I am keen on getting into body building properly and maybe one day enter competitions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thankyou
