Health - 16 June 2007

I'm in the middle of a diet. I lost 30 lbs. and I still have 90 more to go. Dad and I are going to the county fair tomorrow so....

....how would I go about eating smart at a county fair (where one could get a heart attack just by looking at the food) while enjoying myself? How should I eat? Should I split fried foods with my dad (something I was considering since we opted to sample "fried rattlesnake" together)?

I'm completely anal about counting calories and nutritional info isn't always there at the food stands; it's practically non-existent.

No smart aleck answers, please.

Recently I joined a local gym with the goal to gain muscle mass. I've been working out for a month now and asked a big guy in the gym what supplements i should considered taking. He told me I should go buy a tub of lard and eat it twice a day. He didnt give me a lot of information because he was busy working out. What exactly is Lard? Where can I get it?

I have been getting headaches every single day. I have no clue if it is because I am not getting enough rest (I stay up real late), I also tend to skip lunch (not intentionally) but that has never bothered me before??? My headahes also respond to weather changes. They are not serious headaches though, just ones that slightly hurt and can be gotten rid of easily.

I have an abcess tooth infection and am going to the dentist on 7/2 for a root canal. I need to know if the homeopathic remedy. Pennicillinum will work like an antibiotic. If it will work, what is the dosages to take? My homeopathic recommended it but she is out of town and I need to know if this WILL or MAY work. I can't go in with a totally infected tooth. They said the infection has to be under control. Please, any homeopath's out there that can advise? Thank you!

My PLAN is to jog every morning @ around 9-10 next to the FDR drive. I live in the city. Jog for around 30mins-1hour and come home and workout (lift weights, bench, situps, pushups etc.) for around 1 hour or so.

What are some good motivations in doing so? In the mornings I feel like staying home and just watching t.v, but today i managed to go downstairs and jog for around 30 minutes only. I can only jog for like 2 minutes and have take a break =\ and when i workout, I can't get myself to do more than 3 sets of 20 reps or curling and sit ups etc.. I end up only working out for 20-30 minutes. Any advice would be great, thanks in advanced!

I hit my leg last weekend and now there's a big bruise on it. There's also what seems to be a hematoma underneath the skin and I was wondering if that could cause me to throw a clot. A couple of people advised me to have my doctor check it out, but should I really be concerned about it? the size of the hematoma is a little bigger than a quater. Thanks!!!

Could that mean Im crazy The only reason I own a blade and carry it is because I want to defend myself plus I cant fight well and alot of people here could actually put a skinny kid like me in a coma. I reside here in Long Beach, and if youve seen Freedom Writers u no that a Hispanic, Asian, African American could get murdered any moment they leave there house or apartment building, not cause they think you are from a set put beacause or you ethnicity.

I woke up only half way and for some reason, I couldn't move or talk at all. I knew I was awake, but I felt ready to fall back asleep again. I tried to move my hand or talk, but couldn't. I felt like I was going to die. Then I was suddenly able to move. I don't know if I was dreaming or if it actually happened to me. Does anyone know wat happened? I'm really freaked out.

I got cellulitis in my arm from an injection at a doctor's office. It's been about two weeks (on antibiotics) and the redness and swelling has gone down, but it still hurts and it feels like bugs are crawling around in my arm. Has anyone had this and knows how long I can expect this type of thing? Could there be nerve damage?

I think I am being abused. I have been in a relationship with this guy for 5 months now, and he makes me feel bad. He criticizes how I dress, my hair, my weight , my shoes, even the way I WALK or DRINK WATER ! I consider myself a very attractive woman, and I am very nice and smart as well. I am a little curvy as well- I am not skinny, and am losing weight. You can look at myspace to see me: myspace/maura_lo Anyways, the guy has told me that I'm stupid and can't do anything right. He also pushes me sometimes or chokes me if he gets mad- which he does quite often. Whenever I tell him he better stop or I can find someone else, or if I tell him that alot of men like me, then he says, "yea I bet they're all old!" Which is not true. I do not understand why this is happening. The relationship I was in before this was great- he never yelled at me or anything. Lately I have been depressed & crying alot. I also don't feel as confident a/b myself as I once was. I feel I am never good enough .

Hello. Iam here to ask if i have Schizophrenia(Just to ask if these are symtoms of it). I have been told i have OCD. But i just want to tell of a the symptoms i have: I get very depressed, for absolutly no reason and or angery. Alot of times i cant control my energy or actions. I have the urge to out of no where flinch. As for a few, i herd that voices are herd by some Schizos. i dont hear voices, but i do argue with my self, sometimes out loud and sometimes think that iam not the only one in control of my actions. I also count my actions, such as steps taken how long it takes me to wash my hands ect. I dont really houlisinate, but i sometimes see somthing thats not there, such as my cat or dog, not a person. I also think that certain line ups of object such as cars or trees have a meaning, and i belive that i have found a secret of some sort that i only know of, and it holds answers. I also have hatefull things said to me still inside of me and it wont go away. Are these symtoms?
