Health - 17 May 2007

My father has been diagnosed with this disorder, he has had Lung cancer, and 2 heart attacks, Is this possibliy due to the medications he was perscribed? I have only seen information on newborns, not adults over the age of 50. I would appreciate all the infor anyone can give, I don't want to loose my father due to ignorance. I'd greatly appreciate help finding the answers to help me understand what's going on with his health.

When I ran yesterday for 30 minutes at a good pace on the treadmill, it said I had burned about 280 calories. When I worked out on the eliptical machine today for 30 minutes at a similar pace, it said I had burned 850 calories! I know that machines can never give you an exact calorie reading, but this seems way too high! Is the eliptical machine lying to me, or can you really burn that many calories in 30 minutes on an eliptical? I'm a little skeptical.....

Like if I eat an entire molten chocolate cake from Chili's when I should be dieting (true story)... will I see it or feel it or gain it in two days, two weeks, five hours? Does that make sense? And is there anything to do to negate those calories that you eat so it doesn't sabotage your diet? Other than just exercising... can you think of anything else to do when you are like me and you freak out and eat 1000 more calories than you're supposed to be eating?

Ahhh....so my period was due 6 days ago and it still hasn't come.
This has happened to me before from stress, so at first I wasn't worried when it was a little late but now I am :( I lost my job last week and have been stressing about that. I have a bf and we ALWAYS use a condom but I am still nervous. I have all PMS symptoms I usually do, but i know how everyone says PMS symptoms = preg symptoms too! ahhh what does everyone think? help!

I'm scheduled for one on Monday. I know I'll be having anesthesia and probably won't remember anything about it, but I'm a little nervous just the same. Are there any after-effects? Sore throat? Do they put the tube through your mouth or down through your nose? Also, can the doctor tell you much in the way of results right away, or do you have to wait for biopsy results? (I'm being checked for a malabsorption disorder/possible celiac disease.)

He can pleasure himself and succeed. No matter what I try, he doesn't work for him. He said he was this way before I married him. I am no prude. We've tried many things. He refuses to go to a doctor or a therapist.

ok I eat healthy, but I weigh 200 lb and im 5'6". No one believes I weigh that much, but no matter what they say Im not happy with my weight. Not when jsut 2 years ago i was 118. Im not looking to be that small again, but maybe 140.
Heres my problem:

Im holding water really bad, and when ever I work out i seem to jsut gain muscle instead of just losing fat.
What should I do to get rid of the water, and what excersize should I do to lose the fat not gain muscle?
I already have a small appetite, but at times I completely lose my appetite. Thats when I know I need to eat but dont feel like it for a couple of days. Should I still eat?
I cant run, because I have shin splints. So I use an eliptical. Sometimes even jsut walking hurts....

If anybody can make some suggestions that would be great.

Here's my daily diet as of last week:

Morning:
Eggs
Bowl of Oatmeal

Afternoon:
Yogurt
Natural Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwhich on Wheat Bread

Night:
Protein Shake
Grilled Chicken

I know these are basics but I am still hungry throughout the day and I need to add maybe 2 or 3 more things to that list that I can eat daily. I am NOT trying to lose weight...Im a skinny dude working out but I want to go gain weight the healthy way.

Thanks guys

My husband was killed in a car accident a couple months ago. We have 4 children, youngest 9 and I have been trying to cope with their grieving as well as my own.I have found myself in a depression. I cant eat and I have a hard time sleeping.Ive lost 25 pounds and surprised that it isnt more because on a good day I manage to feed myself 4or5 bites. I am also ashamed that Im not stable enough to be there for my children like I should be.I know they need me so bad. Im not even sure what question Im asking...I just simply dont know how to get through this without medication. I realize my health is at risk. But I have several family members addicted to medications like the ones my doctor suggested.
