Health - 26 March 2007

I've been doing the same workout routine. mostly cardio exercises and i've lost a good 20 pounds. But i feel like the past 2-3 weeks to a month i've been staying the same weight and im just getting frustrated. I look a little leaner but i want to keep losing.
im 5'4 about 120 pounds now. I was about 140-145 pounds.
I know my body might be comfortable at 120 but Ive been excersing reguarly. at least 4 times a week.
i normally run alot too. I eat exteremly well too.

any tips on exercises to change mine up with?
i feel like my running/cardio isn't doing as much as it used to.

any suggestions? please
i'm 19 years old

I stopped taking my birth control pills in October. Ever since then I've been having problems again with my period. Now instead of having it for 4 days, I have it for 7 days. It comes twice a month now, and instead of being light like it usually is, its heavier. I'm not sure why this is, so any help would be great!

When one is admitted into hospital, there is usually a file of your medical notes and history on the table. Are patients allowed to look at this? We were told that it was hospital policy not to allow patients to look at them and that it was also illegal, but that we would have to apply in writing for a copy - but surely it should be a right for the patient to look at their own notes ( - particularly if the doctor hasn't explained the circumstances) ?

My period was supposed to come 10 days ago and for the past few days I've been having a brownish discharge (doesn't look much like blood). My periods have always been irregular (last month is was 13 days late). I don't think I'm pregnant because my boyfriend and I always use protection. I've also had a cold for a few days....could that be a factor? Can anyone please tell me what's going on or if something is wrong with me?

Hi,
I am 35 years old and my acne has been at it's worse than ever before. I eat fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water. I am healthy. I just have oily skin. I am trying to decide which of the lesser of two evils to go with.....Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide? What is the difference between the two and which one is more effective? Is it possible to get a moisturizer with SPF sunscreen in either one ? I have it all: blackheads, cystic acne and dent pockets that my blackheads have created that I can't seem to get rid of. Thanks everyone for your help!!!

Has anyone started taking the pill before their period started? My doctor instructed me to follow the instructions on my new Yasmin birth control pills, but other friends have started while in the doctors office "quick start". Has anyone ever tried this? I am supposed to get my period any day now, but am leaving on vacation in 3 days and would rather not have it. If I start the new pack of pills now before my period gets here will it prevent my period until the white pills?

A couple of years ago a friend of mine,Y , was working with someone, X, who claimed he was depressed. Being nosey, Y wanted to find out what the problem was. He told X that he was a trained psychotherapist and would gladly help him out. They had a couple of sessions and Y thought that would be the end of it. Unfortunately, X began to depend on the sessions and claimed to be improving because of them. Y has had no option other than to keep up the pretense. Now Y has had enough. He's considering coming clean about his training. I'm not sure this is a good idea. It ight be a major setback for X or Y could get into serious trouble. What should he do?

I have it, and have been diagnosed for 18 yrs., and have had multiple surgeries. I have a lot of adhesions ( from the surgeries), and have been having a lot of problems with them lately. Does anyone else have adhesion problems that wrap around the bowel, closing it off causing partial or complete obstructions? No one else that I know has this problem.

I plan to switch my 62 # Setter to Innova EVO Reduced Fat for seniors dog. She is not overweight but a couple pounds less would be ideal. She will be 8 in September.

I was feeding her Californa Natural and always suplemened it with 1/4 lean cooked meat with a small amout of green veggie and 3/4 th kibble and Missing Link Plus vitamin supplement with her meals.

This Evo dog food has 52.0% protein whereas California Natural only has 21% protein. So adding more meat with Evo would not be wise, right? Also should I drop the supplements? Would that be overkill with vitamins with EVO?

The problem is some inflamed lump on both sides of the face from ears to the end of the jaws. You can see that something is not right when you look at the mirror. When it becomes bigger it's painfull plus fever and everything like you have a flu. Sometimes we get a big lump on a neck. Doctors are not telling us what the problem, they do not know, the treatment - antibiotics. The problem is that it's not going away, you can still feel that not everything is right until next time. Please, let me know may be somebody had same problem and knows what to do.
