Health - 26 April 2007

All joking aside, I think something is wrong with me. I've been feeling really down lately ever since I was denied (for the 3rd time) for financial aid and I have no way of getting a job which means I have no income.

Aside from that I've been talking to this guy for 4 months and he lead me on to believe that a relationship was possible. I'm african-american and so is he. The reason why I bring this up is because his gf is hispanic and that's even more insulting to me.

I'm 19 and he's 17.

My brother is headed to Iraq this June. It will be his third time going over. Because he recently split from his wife my mom must travel over to North Carolina to house sit which means I'll be here in California with just my father, and my sisters (one is 30 & the other is 17). This is scaring me.

My life at this point is way too much and I don't see any escape from misery. I feel like I'm slipping into the abyss. It's been this way since Dec. 2005.

What can I do to get my old self back?

During Biology class today, we conducted an EKG lab. Mine appeared with abnormal results. Mine differed from the average graph in that the spikes appeared to be inverted. Upon asking my teacher, he decided it was some muscle abnormality or foreign substance that was present on my skin. Should i be worried for any circulatory conditions, e.g. high blood pressure/aneurysms?

Very personal question but I'm freaking out...my nipples have been kind of sore over the last 2 days and just now I noticed very small white circular patches on them, just 2 or three on each one...I freaked out and ofcourse squeezed and white stuff came out. I know it sounds similar to a pimple (haha) but it definitely is not. What the heck is it??

I went to the eye doctor four months ago for a checkup and got new glasses and everything checked out clear and perfect (aside from needing stronger lenses). However, for the past three weeks I've been getting double vision and having trouble focusing on things. Could it just be allergies?

i am a 37 year old female

i had Gastric Bypass Surgery in 2001, i lost 180 lbs.

i now have alot of skin hanging on my arms, upper and lower legs, chin, thighs, rear end, boobs, etc... This gives me alot of back problems carrying this excess fat. I have osteoarthritic on my L4 & L5 vertebrae & some disk space at L5-S1. I am in pain constantly.

State covers having Gastric Bypass surgery but not the complete body lift. carrying all this excess skin is hard for me everyday. Exercise does not help, joined a spa and it was to hard to do arm and leg lifts with the skin.

I have been to 3 different doctors and all 3 said i have to pay for a body lift, which is over 25,000.00, i dont have it. 1 doctor even said to the HMO that it was medically neccessary and i still didn't get approved.

My question is where do i go? What can I do? Is there a doctor out there that covers this proceedure? Willing to travel. I have Americhoice, Medicaid, & Medicare

Alrighty..
The hair on my legs is really thick and course to start off.
It seems like no matter what I do I get little nicks and razor burn.
And after I shave, the hair grows back by the end of the day.
And right after I shave, I have like red spots where the hair was.
They aren't bumps.. just spots.
It's weird.
I need help making this stop.

is it true that if you drink lots of water you loose weight? like if you drank water for lunch and that is it, it should satisfy your hunger for a while and then you will pee it all out and then there won't be anything left. no calories. zip?

Well , you see today , I had P.E. in school and we did sprint contests. Now my legs hurt super bad so I don't want to move them. I also have restless leg syndrome so, I either have to fix one problem or the other. I can move my legs and make the syndrome go away but that won't help my legs hurting any, but if i don't move my legs then it will only help the part about my legs hurting and i will still get the restless feelings in my legs.

What do I do to help both things?

I am serious. When I eat candy, I can really have alot, I have like one piese or something I am good, because I feel sick to my stomach. I know what you are thinking, she's prolly not eating enough real food. Well I am, I have a balanced dinner and have desert, and find that candy or anything sugary, makes me want to throw up. Could this be a sign of diabetes, or something else? Or I am jsut allergic to something.
