Health - 25 May 2007

As stated I am 20 and not on any medication. I love junk food but if I eat it w/in a couple hours of going to sleep, I wake up nauseous and it goes away when I eat something like fruit. This is good b/c I really should eat healthier but seems weird. This started 6 months ago. On the surface I look healthy and in shape, 5'0 & 97 lbs, but my exercise is walking campus from class to class. About two years ago I developed very low tolerance for caffeine, after being a coffee addict. Also, junk food used to serve as meals pretty often but now my body requires more healthy foods to feel good. Could my sudden intolerance be telling me something other than I shouldn't eat junk food? I.e. I'm lacking a nutrient, I have low or high something...?

My doctor prescribed me adipex 4 years ago and I lost over 75lbs with it. I kept it off until my daughter was born and gained it all back. I currently don't have prescription coverage to be re-prescribed to Adipex so I thought there might be an over the counter version but didn't want to waste a bunch of money on things that didn't work.

I have KP and I have noticed that after a couple of years it has gotten worse. It started on just the backs of my arms and now its all around where my bisepts and trisepts are. It has also started to spread onto my sholders, back and forearms. In additon, I have some moderate skin discoloration, is this really KP? If not do you have any ideas of what it is and how to get rid of it?

my mouth is starting to feel 'dull'. It's as if I have no real taste anymore. Also, I'm getting small sores like crazy wherever I scratch. Finally, I have an AWFUL rash on my neck that I think was caused by a reaction to a necklace I got as a gift the day before I started the chemo and wore. Even though I've never been allergic to any metal, this made my neck red and itchy and now it's a mess. A huge rash.

All that being said, what are the top three foods I should be eating during chemo to keep my skin healthy and my energy up? If you have any advice on the rash or sores, I'd to hear about that as well.

Thanks!

Also, I'm on day 10 since my last (and first) treatment and I am on an AC therapy of chemo. When will my hair start falling out and how long will it take for it all fall out? (I know this is different for different people, but I'm just curious to other peoples thoughts)

I woke on Saturday morning with tingling and numbness in my left hand. I thought nothing of it- went to the kitchen to make coffee, and started feeling woosy, so I sat down. The tingling finally went away on Sunday afternoon, but I'm left still dizzy and with weaker muscles in both left arm and left leg. EKG, CT scan, and initial bloodwork came out fine. I still have the weakness and dizziness after 7 days now. What could this be?

My 8 year old is allergic to penicillin, 12 days ago he was diagnosed with a pneumonia and given Omnicef. He did fine on the medication until after he was done taking the 10 day prescription. On day 11 he woke up with spots that soon would cover his whole body with welts or hives. I immediately took him to the doctor because I knew from the previous experience with penicillin what was going on and didn't want him to land in the hospital with an IV again. She prescribed steriods and antihistimines orally. The welts subsided for the afternoon, only to reappear today. He is still on the steriods. I was wondering how long we can expect to wait before the steriods actually start working, and the Omnicef will be out of his system? Anyone know?

I'm trying to lose weight for my wedding next year (August). I've been dieting and exercising slowly. I don't want to lose it all too fast and then gain it all back again as soon as I lose it. I'm not doing any strenus exercising, just general.. parking farther from the store, instead of taking an elevator, taking the stairs, etc. At work, I'm always doing something, so it's not hard there. Also, when I'm just sitting on the computer, as I am now, I contracting and letting loose my stomach muscles for a few minutes every time I sit down, just to keep them toned. My question is, am I on the right track? And if so, if anyone has does this before, how much weight should I lose in approx. a year?

Any tips are very appreciated!

Serious comments only please!
