Health - 5 May 2007

My teacher training is making me ill. It's taken all over my life and is making me sick. I've no confidence left in my own ability or my own intelligence. I'm so unhappy and can't cope with the thought of going back to school. My relationship with my colleagues is at an all-time low, my relationship with my boyfriend is falling to pieces because of this. I've no energy. I can't sleep at night but I'm tired all day. I just want to run away. I've only got 7 weeks left, which sounds like nothing, but I can't take another day like this. I wish I'd never started - please advise.
ps: I can't get signed-off. If I miss too many days then I'll fail the course.

I bought this new pair of jeans and didn't wash it before I wore it out so it was still a bit stiff. A fold in the inside seam rubbed against my leg as I walked and when I took my jeans off I saw my skin was rough at the part it was irritated. I also noticed this happened from wearing a tight bra from the inner wire rubbing right between my breasts. The rough spots are healed and smooth again now, but it appears darker and looks like a scar. Any ways to get it back to my normal skin tone?

My Mom said her doctor told her she has too much insulin in her blood, but she does not have diabetes. Does anyone know anything about this? She had a 3 hour GTT and her level was 57. I have never heard anything like this before. I think she needs to see a doctor that deals with diabetes, but she sees no need to go to someone else. Please if anyone can even give me a little bit of information I would be Thankful. She is one of those people in less she sees it in print she does not believe it .

1. I know it is normal to have dischage, but it feels like mine is just rediculous. I get so much that I need to change my underwear atleast 3 times a day and It smells really bad.

2. I got my period for the first time about a year ago, and I have really heavy flows. I'm a small girl but I soak through super plus tampons every hour and a half for about four days.

Do you have an explanation or should I talk to my doctor?

I just had an accident, possibly flared up old nerve/muscle/tissue damage or may be new injuries. Been to doctor (PA). Had lots of xrays done just in case. Waiting for Physical Therapist office to call. What natural homeopathic cures or other treatments do I have or can I do in the meanwhile? I have been given samples of Celebrex. I hope their safe short term should I take them.
Aready doing: roll-on Freeze-it, was on OTC before went for an exam, showers, getting household members to massage me, taking it easy and resting. Feels better right now not to move around, especially if I don't move my neck/head too much.

I heard that eating 5-6 mini meals through out your day will boost up your metabolism because the small amount of food has no time to be stored as fat and is going to be used up as energy.

I also heard that eating breakfast is very important to increase your metabolic rate as well because it wakes the body up from "starvation mode".

So, should breakfast be a big meal or small meal to boost up metabolism?
