Hi - I'm in Australia. Able to retire this year but will still probable work casual as a trained nurse.
I thought it would be wise to ask for wisdom from people who have learnt by their mistakes when they retired. Please share these with me so I can avoid them. Thanks, Marcelle

I am wondering whether any study has been done to find out what percentage of people 100 or older ever had periods of intense physical exercise in their lives. My suspicion is that too much exercise is not a good thing, but I'm unsure. Have any famous athletes made it to 100 yet?

I had a moderate to severe head injury last year, February 2006 as i remembered and since then, the symptons are STILL here..in fact it's getting worse and worse. I think i basically have a long-term untreatable head injury (on the back of my left side brain)....here are my symptoms: dizziness, loss of short-term memory, i feel like my head is about to explode because of the heaviness of it (lightheadness), when i wake up in the morning my eyes are awake but my mind is still asleep and in school my brain barely function, i get seizures everyday, i cannot read books because i could not understand the words since only my eyes reads them....when i study for a test, i read the words but they could not get IN my head, confusion, headache --> gets worse over time for a year, my sleep patterns had change, my logic ability to reason changed, tired eyes (healthy according to me ophtalmologist), i have trouble concentrating, and it's very hard for me to think since i feel like my brain hurts so

Apparently it's mosty found in diabetics ( which I'm not) but I've been told it's quite rare, incurable and difficult to manage. Does anyone suffer from it (or know of anyone who does) and can tell me how they deal with it ? Particularly in the UK ..

Ok well, I have my first Gyno appointment but I'm a little selfconscious because I have thick pubic hair and I worry that even though it's not long....the way it grows...ok let me explain haha. You know the labia, right? well...I have hair that grows on the inner inside of the outer lips, like not around the vaginal opening, but on the outside edges of the inside. It's not dark colored hair, it's white...but even if I tried to wax or shave there...I can't really take care of that hair cause it's on the tissue membrane part. Do you have hair that grows there?

I have many silver fillings from when I was younger, and I would like to have them replaced with the new tooth colored "safer" fillings. However, I have heard conflicting rumors that disturbing the old silver fillings is actually more harmful than having them. Can someone (a Dentist perhaps) shed some light on this for me.

I recently accidently tore off my big toe nail and am in a lot of pain. The doctor prescribed Vicodin for me to take and it's helping a lot with the pain. My friend came over and wants to smoke some marijuana and I was wondering if there's any dangerous side effects of that? I'm not going to be driving, i'm not going to be operating any type of machinery...and i'm not looking for a lecture on why I should or shouldn't smoke pot...i'm simply asking if there is any medical danger in taking the two together. Thank you in advance everybody! :)
