Health - 24 May 2007

my 26 yr old son is a quad and is losing weight rapidly. we are having a hard time finding a way to weigh him. he's too heavy for me to lift. his dr advised us to go to a meat dept in our local grocery store. i was mortified that he would even suggest such a thing. i asked his staff if they could look into it and they really were no help at all. any suggestions? he weighs under 150 lbs at last check so he's not obese. also, uses a power wheelchair.

I want to lose weight (about 15 lbs), especially around my tummy and love handles. What exercises can I do and/or diets? Do sit ups helps? And can I lose 15 lbs over the course of three months? Thanks for you feedback. Have a great day! :)

Is that how most people do it? I would think that I would vomit.

People say ''eating junk food causes the majority of the population to become obese''. Thats a load of bullshit!

red and itches. Older lady can not take antihistimens. Could it be some sort of infection?But to start on one hand and then a few months later be on the other? Just seems like an allergic reaction. But she doens't think it is.

My previous prescription for my left eye was :
R: -4.00 +1.00 80
L: -2.25

However i had an eye test last 2 weeks and they told me the new one is:

R: -4.25 +1.25 85
L: -2.50

I m currently wearing a pair of glasses which follows my old prescription, how ever i couldnt really tell that 0.25 change on both my eyes when looking at things both near and far away from me with the old prescription glasses on.

1) Is this normal that unable to find out the difference of the 0.25, or it is just the error of the optometrist?

2) Is there any chance the eye test is not accurate and can only give out an approximate value??

Thanks
