I am currently receiving SS retirement benefits (age 70). I recently lost sight in one eye due to a "retinal stroke." According to doctors and specialists, the damage is permanent. Are there any available additional benefits (SS or CA)?

I have been the sickling in my family for a long time and I never seem to be healthy. I am always coughing. not just a little cough but a deep lung rattling cough. I go to the doctors and they say it is just an uper respatory infection, or broncitis. I would like to have one day with out coughing. Does anyone out there relate to this and how do you cope with it?

I hurt my L knee running up a hill in Nov. Almost the worst pain I ever felt-like something was tearing. One doctor told me it was bursitis and told me to take 600 mg ibuprofen 4x per day. My stomach literally started bleeding. The 2nd person I saw was an orthopedic PA. He wasn't sure what it was and thought it might be a meniscal tear. After a cortisone injection failed to supply any relief, he sent me to see an orthopedic surgeon. He thought that it was plical syndrome and gave me a 2nd cortisone injection.

Here's my problem: The last injection that I got was about 2.5 months ago. I was relatively okay for those 2.5 months, but now it's really painful again. I assume that I'll have to beg for another injection, but am I just going to have to keep doing this every 3 months or so?

Hi There,

Im 30 years old, I have been having gaut attack since i was 25. It has been 5 years now. i will get my gaut attack on and off. like 3 months ones. Ever since i had gaut, i stop eating foods which has high purine, yet i will get the attack..

Late, i had hip pain, when im sitting down i don't feel the pain. But when i get up to walk, i will have the pain, i can't stand, can't move..i have to stand for 10mins and then start to walk.

When for x-ray on my hip and the doctor said that i got Avascular Necrosis. I have taken all kind of pain killers but nothing helps me from the pain...Until i took colchicine around 8 pills one day. and i had nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. the next day i can walk without pain.

So, i went back to the Doctor and explained to him, but he said that gaut won't attack hip joint.

Can someone help with this, can uric acid attack hip joint?

Thank you.

Some of us older women need a little more help with the intimate side with our spouses but it seems that all the stimulants have to be bought online. I do not want to use my debit card as I've had problems with money being taken out that was not authorized, so I would rather go to a store and buy what I need rather than order. I'm not talking about a plain lubricant but something that actually stimuates a female into having a climax. Please no wisecracks - thank you.

Ok, I started working out 2 months ago and lost 20 lbs. I am now 31 years, 6'1, and 235. My goal has been to gain muscles while losing fat and this is working. I watch my diet (about 2,000 cals a day) and mix up cardio ( 3 days) with strength training (3 days). When lifting weights I generally get a good workout in an hour or so doing every muscle group superset-style in 3 sets of 12 and keeping the heat rate in Zones 1 and 2 (140-165 bpm). Keeping all this constant, I cannot figure out why by the time I get to the smaller muscle group exercises (example biceps and triceps) near the end of workouts, I feel fatigued and have difficulty doing even 2 sets of them at comparatively lower weights to the larger muscle groups... My heartbeat is the same and I am not winded... Any ideas on why I get fatigued and how to get over it? Thanks!

is it possible to be addicted to weight loss without being anorexic? like not starving yourself but actively trying to lose weight because your a perfectionist? How thin is too thin?

I am thirteen years old, uhm...I am not obese, but I am overweight. If I only ate some fruit and vegetables (maybe) and then dinner, how much weight would I lose and how fast?

If it's not a lot, I will just cut out the fruits and vegetables, because my cousin said his friend (girl) did that and she lost a LOT of weight. D: I am desperate and I am absolutely desperate enough to go bulemic again or try anorexic.

I wear big shirts and hoodies, because I am so ashamed. My Oma even tells me I need to lose weight, but my mom says I'm not fat at all when I am! I would ask her for help, but she won't do it! She is convinced I'm not fat and she is the only one. Even one of my good friends said I was chunky...

Please, just tell me how much I will lose and how fast. I don't want to hear that it's the wrong way to go. I'll do it anyways, and if people don't help me with that, I will go withn my second idea...

the overwhelming amount of 12-16yrs old girls here asking if they are fat when they are like 100lbs? Its kinda sad how they are worried about that at such a young age, especially thinking they are fat when they probably need to gain weight.
