Health - 16 April 2007

I've been googling all over the place and I really can't find any information. I'm 5'5, 145 pounds, 36 B-28-40. The thing that's really getting to me is that I have 40 inch hips and I'm 145 pounds. I don't sit on the coach all day, I row two hours a-day, six days a week. Yet rarely ever get below 140.
I don't see a problem with the way I look, made a few here and there, but when I see the scale number, and my hip messurment, I freak. Am I over reacting?

I have been cold sick (sore throat, runny nose, caughing) that ususally lasts 3-4 days, once a month for the past 5 months. Could it be that I have mono? or I'm just that run down??? I recently started a new job, but I don't think that all the hours could really have that much to do with it? Any suggestions?

I think my roommate may be using it but I'm not sure. I found a waterbottle with a hollowed out pen shoved through it in her fridge. What does it look like and smell like?

My name is Uche. I jog almost everyday to keep fit. I used to have a big stomach (probably because I eat alot), and as a result, I do press up exercise so that my stomach will trim down and it is helping me a lot. I will be getting married towards the end of the year. My question is, since I engage in press up exercise always to keep fit, will it prevent me from getting pregnant? And if I get pregnant, will it affect my pregnancy since the first three months of pregnancy is hardly noticeable? I want to keep fit, and at the same time, when I get married, I would like to have kids of my own. Am worried, will my regular press up exercise affect me when I get pregnant?

Why is snoring so annoying? Its the only thing that can piss me off with a word being said from the snorer!

I'm sure if I had to listen to a single tone, I wouldn't mind at all.

Also can it be that anything other than a single note/frequency in complexity will always be annoying? Or is it that the noise is coming from a person and there's the added stress you get knowing you can't get them to stop w/o waking them up?

I have major insomnia and even the strongest Ambien CR doesn't put me to sleep combined with Seroquel and Klonopin; plus some other night medications I have to take. My shrink knows about the problem but, I don't go back to see him for another two weeks. I really don't know if I can last that long without losing my mind a little. I'm running out of things to keep me occupied. I can't concentrate enough to read. I write all of the time. I'd say I'm getting about two hours of sleep a night. So, any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I have a question about sleep. Basically, it seems that for my body, when I stay awake till 3AM or so, I wake up the next morning and feel loopy and not really awake for several hours later. However, when I go to sleep around 12:30 or so, I wake up and feel rested. In both cases, I get the same amount of actual sleep hours. Does the time of night I am going to bed having an impact on me feeling tired? If so - please explain (and if possible provide sources/articles.) Thanks a bunch! :)

A biopsy is recommended when a significant abnormality is found, either on physical examination and/or by an imaging test. Examples of abnormality can include a breast lump felt during physical self examination or tissue changes noticed from a mammogram test. **Before a biopsy is performed, it is important to make sure that the threat of cancer cannot be disproved or ruled out by a simpler, less invasive examination.** A lump may be obviously harmless when examined by ultrasound. If this is not decisive, the presence of cancer or a variety of benign breast conditions can be determined using a biopsy.

In other words, how would you explain:
"Before a biopsy is performed, it is important to make sure that the threat of cancer cannot be disproved or ruled out by a simpler, less invasive examination."

Whenever I brush my teeth now, my gums start bleeding and it hurts a lot to just brush them normally. A lot of blood starts coming out and I have no idea how to cure it? It seems like the harder I brush, the worse it gets. How do I help get rid of that?
