Health - 4 April 2007

I lift 4 days a week and do cardio the same. I would like to lose about 25-35 LBS.I am also trying to add muscle.I currently weigh 217 LBS.I know that most " Experts" will say 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight,but I am not buying it.There are some pretty muscular guys I have talked with who say that they maybe get 100 grams per day.I drink 2 meal replacment shakes a day and am getting about 100-150 grams of protein per day.Is this enough? I want to look hard and be in shape not look like Mr.America.Does anyone have any solid experience with this question ?

Alright, i recieved a wart on my foot a week or so ago, which i thought was normal since i rarely remember to wear footwear in the shower, to my detriment

anyway, i got a raised red smooth lump on the base of my penis, and i think more are on their way - most descriptions of genital warts report them as being either extremely dry, or the opposite, while this just feels like smooth skin

can touching my foot, then my penis have caused the strain to travel? or could i have recieved one of the genital HPV strains from the shower floor? i am a virgin, and have had no genital to genital sexual contact in my entire life - is there another problem that this might be?

any help will be very much appreciated

ok....this is pretty embarassing....

I'm a very underexperienced 16 y/o, mind you. Recently there's been certain types of guys that I like & when I see this type, I get aroused and start fantasizing.... I dont know if this is normal but I take it way too far & begin hallucinating about brushing up on them or I secretly stare at them or I even smile provocatively when they sit next to me..... It's not like I have the guts to do anything more but why am I acting like this?

Does anyone know where I can find a decent downloadable or e-book version of the various fast food exchange values for diabetic meal planning at popular fast food places?

I am really alone right now. I have nobody to talk to. I am so upset and depressed about being alone. I am in love with someone I see everyday and I can't take the feeling of rejection anymore. I have to see him every day i go to work. Leaving my job is not an option. I am 36 and have never had a relationship. I think it will never happen. I feel like all the good things in my life don't matter. Even if I get over him I feel like I can't stand to imagine going through another rejection again. I am seeing a psychiatrist and on medication, so please don't tell me to get help. I am just hoping someone could say something kind . Has anyone gone though this? I have never met anyone my age who has never had any kind of relationship whatsoever.

My son is 2 years old and has had 2 penis infections(not due to poor hygine).The first one was very bad and his penis turned an ugley deep purple.Our docter suggested that my husband and I get him circumcised.I don't think circumcision is right to do to a child or a man for that matter,but I'm not sure how I feel about getting my son done for medical reasons?
Some other peoples veiws on this might help me to make up my mind.My husband said to get it done as from a males point of veiw it would be horrible for a male to go through life having penis infections. Also our son is in pain when he has an infection there and it's not always nice to look at..

He recently had an MRI. It was perfect. Now, he has to go to Children's Hospital for some other tests. Someone recently told me that he could be allergic to wheat. All three doctors that he has seen said it is not food allergies, as his symptoms would be different. Such as, he wakes up in the middle of the night with migrains. He gets them after eating, after playing too hard, while doing nothing at all. They have him on medicine (which is temporary, and I absolutley HATE to bandaid the problem, but the headaches have stopped), that is making him gain weight like crazy.

Has anyone else ever gone through this? What was the outcome. I have researched and researched this and nothing makes sense. None of the causes of migrains in kids fit his lifestyle. And everything I seem to think it could be, the doctors contradict me and steer me away from. I am desperate to figure out how to help him!!!

I just started a prescription of Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo five days ago, and I've been feeling nauseated the entire time.

Several years ago, I was on Yasmine for about three months and felt nauseated the entire time... so that's why my doctor prescribed me with the low hormone pills this time.

Is it normal for me to still be feeling this nauseous? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Thanks for your help.

I was chopping up vegetables for a stew to put in the crock pot and must have been cutting at a weird angle. I ended up cutting my wrist pretty good. I had to type this with one hand. Should I go to the doctor or will it just heal on its own?

Once the initial burning subsides its okay but then when the sex is over my insides feel really raw and sore. I think I may be allergic to spermicide seeing how I've never had a problem wearing latex gloves. I tried to prove this theory by buying the contraceptive inserts (disolving spermicide) and it really really burned. This time it not only burned me but also my partner. Is this an allergy to spermicide? What are the chances we are both allergic to it??? We refuse to have sex without condoms with spermicide so any answers that could help would be great.
