Health - 27 April 2007

A recent stay in hospital led me to gain possession of my medical notes, on looking through them I found that I apparantly had Kawasaki's disease as a child, I asked my mother about this and she knew nothing about it.
After looking it up I have found that it is a potentially serious childhood illness that someone would be hospitilised for, my mother insists I have never had this disease let alone spent more than an afternoon in any hospital as a child!
I wasn't too bothered about it but she has pointed out that if there is this kind of error in my notes what else could they have got wrong? does anyone know how I can go about investigating this further?

I have a habit of skipping meals.
Time being, I have a huge headache for only having one meal today.
I tend to feel guilty if I have two or more meals.
I know, 5 or so small meals a day is the healthy thing to do.
But my question is, whether you know for sure or it's just your opinion, is it healthier to have three meals a day that are slightly unhealthy (how unhealthy are things like..frozen corndogs, or sandwiches anyway? that's all i can find around here, I know they're not the worst but I don't feel best eating them), or do you think someone would be better off eating only one meal a day, same amount of unhealthiness?

Note:
I'm not basing my diet on any answers, I just want to know peoples' opinions.

Our local vaccination clinic advises a pneumonia shot for everybody once every five years. They also charge the earth for it. I read on the internet that the vaccine is just once in a lifetime, except for people who have serious health problems. Which is correct? Thank you.

It is only on my left side under my jaw line where that lymph node is. It feels like I'm being stabbed and I can't move that side of my body for about thirty seconds and then it goes away. It has been occurring about every 2-3 hours. I obviously know I need to go to the doctor, I was just wondering if anyone has ever experienced this or knows what it could be. Thanks!

My husband complains every time we have sex or do anything else that my vagina has a distinct smell to it. I shower every day and clean myself everytime (especially there because he comments about it.) I just recently went to a gynocologist to get on Birth control and she did a pap smear. Wouldn't she tell me if there was something wrong down there? I don't know what to do. His comments are driving me insane because I can't find anything to fix the problem. Please help me....

I'd like to do it, because it seems like a good thing to do. Although, I hate thinking about all of the children in foster care-I'd adopt if it were me and I couldn't have kids.

Aside from all of that, aren't there complications involved with this? I've heard that you may not be able to conceive after these things.

My friend is in her late 40s and had the surgery when she was 30. She keeps getting bad stomach aches that last for 4 days, to where she needs a cane to help her walk because of the pain. She gets these about 2 and 3 times a month.

I have this recurring thought.. more of a feeling or a fear. I have this feeling that someone could shoot me at any second.

I felt this way before, but it only intensified when I heard about an episode of road-rage on the news where an unsuspecting man was shot in the passenger seat of an SUV while his wife was driving. He was shot by someone that was impatient because the woman was driving too slow for them. They didn't even mean to, they man didn't see it coming. And with the VA Tech shooting, it only got worse.

My father has some, well, problems. He's old and feeble, but he has problems that lead me to believe that he isn't right in the head. I have these recurring thoughts that he's laying in his bed with a gun (he has a prized gun collection which he rarely uses, he used to be an avid hunter) or that he's fly off the handle and come in my room or hurt my mom. I cringed when a speeding driver passes me, when I'm walking to my car, or when I'm not absolutely nice to someone.

I had lost a lot of weight since my last visit which was like 3 weeks ago. I thought I had actually gained weight. My mother and some coworkers said they noticed. Does this ever happen to you? I really dont' feel any lighter ... is it just because I see myself in the mirror everyday?
