Health - 30 May 2007

I am 18 years old. I know that it usual doesn't become a threat until 40 years of age, but lately:

-I have been overly tired
-My stool is thinner then usual
-I have had diarhia on and off
-It has a different texture and odor to it

I am in a panic right now and am hoping to hear that this is just a virus or something.

Thanks in advance.

If someone could please let me know their thoughts.
41 yrs old. Right oophorectomy (beign r. ovarian tumor removal along with fallopian tubes. 10 months later I started having R. Temporal lobe seizures. Stopped periods but still a cycle monthly (I guess) because my seizures happen like clockwork one week out of the month. I have 3-4 in that week.
I also started after my surgery having terrible aches and pains. Lower leg aches and lower arms aches. Terrible back pain and it felt like i had the flu all the time because of the body aches. extremely fatigued. On State disability for one year. I continue to have seizures every month even though I'm on tegretol. The dr just send me to mental health. I am really at a loss because it seems like the seizures, menopause, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue are all because of the surgery. The Mri shows a r. temporal lobe lesion and thats it. I can't imagine starting to have seizures out of the blue at 41.

If a person is facing away from me, so I am looking at their back, their right lung should be on my right and their heart apex should be pointing to my left.

On the postero-anterior chest X-ray, why does the right lung appear on my left and the apex of the heart point to my right?

Is the image being flipped horizontally???

And if this is the way they are done, why are they done this way?


Thanks
[I hope that I haven't made a stupid mistake in my explanation and that you all can understand my explanation!!!]

The cookie has 80 calories with 5 grams of fat, 65 grams of salt and 4 grams of sugar.
The strawberry frozen yogurt bar also has 80 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams salt and 20 grams sugar. YOu like both but you have money to buy only one. Which would you choose? And tell whether your choice is based on taste preference or health reasons.

Once i got cold sores from being sick...i have gone to the doctor and said everything is fine so i know that the dark spots on my lips are not anything bad, but i just dont like how they look...is there anything to clear or lighten the spots? i have heard that putting lemon juice helps to clear spots on lips over time....My doctor told me that it is a scar from the burning the cold sore did to my lips and that in some people naturally it takes a longer time to go away...but now im desperate for them to go away..Since im a guy i cannot wear lipstick so do you guys have any other suggestions? Once again, i have done tests at my doctor's and everything til' now is healthy...i emphasize this because i have asked this before and people answer that i should go see a doctor because i might be sick...it is not the case here...i just want something to make the scars/spots go away! Thanks a lot for suggestions!

PD: so does lemon juice help...?

Ok, I'm 16 years old, 6'0'' and weigh about 165 pounds. I know that that's in the average weight range, but I've always been upset about having fat around my stomach and love handles area.

Anyway, I was curious about effective ways to lose weight around that area. I'm not much of a cardio person, since I have low endurance and I have hyperhidrosis, causing me to sweat very excessively and easily.

Is it bad to do sit ups, or some kind of abdominal exercise in my current state? Wouldn't it just make me appear as if I have a bigger stomach?

But then I question that, because I always thought muscles used fat as energy, so if I gained muscle underneath the fat, wouldn't the fat eventually disappear?

Getting back to the cardio idea, if I attempted something like daily jogs, would it be a good idea to jog in the morning on an empty stomach, right when I wake up? Because in that sense, wouldn't your body use your current fats as energy, instead of any food that's currently digesting?

I've been married 8 months, we have a 2yr old son together and my husband's 12yr old son lives with us. Husband was awarded custody of him last June. Stepson was raised by maternal grandparents. We've been in family therapy since April. Stepson has post traumatic stress disorder (from his mom dying), depression, was physically abused by his grandfather, and intermittent explosive disorder. He's on an anti-psychotic to stabilize his mood and zoloft for the depression. He hates the fact that his dad married me and is jealous of me and our 2 year old. He's had 2 episodes with me, cussed me out, smashed his brother's toys with a hammer & mallet and got a knife for God only knows what. I have been scared for me and our 2yr old's safety ever since. He just got out of mental hospital on Fri. The Dr asked if he'd ever hurt me or his brother, he said "not my brother". I take that to mean that he'd hurt me. I love hubby but I'm scared and ready to leave before he hurts me. Am I wrong?

I'm getting my braces off and my orthodontist left two little gaps between each of my top teeth (uppers 2 and 3) because all four of them are kinda small, and was wondering if i should get crowns or get them bonded; crowns are really expensive and bonding doesn't last as long. Is bonding worth it?

I want to lose some weight. Mostly in the Butt, Thighs, and Stomach. I would really like to become little smaller so then I can fit into my old clothes. Probably the reason I am gaining weight is because the cookies I eat. So instead of cookies I go to get gum. But it doesn't work. Then I though of say EVERY DAY IN EVERY WAY I'M GETTING RID OF JUNK FOOD. It's not working, and I'm not really fat or really skinny. Can anyone help me with this stupied problem? Oh and I would like to lose about 20 pounds or even a bit more. Thanks.
