My father has been told that for all intents and purposes his kidney's are no longer functioning. He has been put on a renal diet. I don't know much about it but the parents say it is a rough one to follow. Anybody with experience with it, any ways to make it more pleasant and palatable? Thanks you!

Just a rule of thumb approx. time frame. It's been about 8 weeks since I had unprotected intercourse with a girl that I was unsure if she had any STD's, but in the past 8 weeks I have had NO FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS, no rashes and no signs of genital herpes. Is it safe to say Im probably home-free?

Okay, well I was sick yesterday with a horrible stomach virus (vomiting, chills, body aches, fever, etc.). This morning when I woke up I felt better. My temp was 97.4 and other than feeling a bit weak I was better. Anyway, this evening about 5:00 I started getting chills again and my throat was a little sore so I took my temp and it was 99.8. I decided to go to the doctor since I never run a fever and it had gone away and then came back. Anyway, the doc did a strep test which was negative and a urine test. He said that I have a UTI. Is this possible when I do not have any of the other classic symptoms of a UTI? Oh, also I have noticed a bad smelling vaginal discharge since yesterday which I did not even think to mention to the doc. I just finished my period though so I was thinking that it could be related to that but now I am wondering if that has something to do with my fever and stuff? Could it be from dehydration?... I am really confused. Please help!

Help, my mom has gone downhill in the last 5 yrs. She gets things that regular docs can't fix. She has sciatica that has gotten really strange. First she gets pain on the top of her left hand, then her hands get cold, then her whole body, then she gets extreme gas pains in abdomen and lastly it becomes sciatica. She gets this either from doing too much or from eating foods she has become allergic to. One by one she has become allergic to all veges, pork, fish and a few more. She lives in Lyons, IL which her doc says is full of bad industry including a sight that is toxic with aluminum. I could give more info but afraid to bombard with info. Please ask if you have further questions. She is at the end of her rope. Thanks so much.

i don't know whats going on.
for the past couple months my toes and fingers have been off and on aching and developing red bumps. when i bend my fingers the very top crease of them are sore and they hurt. i have normally low blood pressure and bad circulation to my hands and feet. could that be contributing to it? its only developed recently and has never done it before. anyone know what it is?

From about a week now, whenever I poop, there's blood around it and little orange pieces sticking out of my poop. Also, there's sometimes whiteish puss with a few larger black chunks on the poop as well. It hurts my vagina so it becomes red, itchy and yellowis slime is coming out with pieces of blood like during a period. Wat's wrong? Should I contact my local doctor?

How do you feel when people make assumptions about you because you are tall but only wearing a size 4 or if you are short and wearing a size 8. Do you get fed up of the ignorance that people assume all short people are built a certain way and all tall people are built a certain way?

Like if you are tall and not at least a size 6, then you are deemed anorexic and if you are short and a size 8, people assume this is too big without any regard for build, body shape, fat distribution, muscle mass, etc.

I just find it really ignorant that people assume your body type is so dependant on height. There are short girls with wide hips and big bust and tall girls with narrow hips or small bust. Factors such as width of the pelvic region and bust size has very little if any relevance to height whatsoever.

Why is there this constant need to categorise people and make assumptions about them? How do you deal with such ignorance and start to feel good about your body size and shape?

To gain better results.

So far I've been doing it everyday except for Sunday.

Should I do it every other day from now on to get 6 packs sooner?
