Health - 24 June 2007

I applied for transfer to all UC schools and was accepted to everyone! UC Davis, UC Berkely, UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz, UC Merced, UC Santa Barbara, UCLA, UC Riverside, UC Irvine and UCSD.

Ok, I have to choose one, but I dont know which. If you were in my situation, which one will you choose and why?

Im a chemistry major and goal is to go to a Med. school, but now, I have to choose which undergrad campus.

How can I get a good cardio workout without using my legs? I have a really bad shin splint from playing tennis and I want to rest it as much as possible until it's completely healed. In the meantime, I'd like to still get some cardio workouts in? I thought of a rowing machine but my gym doesn't have any...

Thanks in advance

I have been having alot of health problems lately, getting horrific periods twice a month with fevers and throwing up. I went to see my Dr. and she ordered an ultra sound to see if i have tumors or polyps or soemthing on my ovaries. She also got me tested for many different things ranging from pancreas to liver to HIV.


I tried to donate blood two years ago and the Red Cross rejected my blood saying i had a flase positive for HIV. Could this have antyhing to do with me being sick?

and how long does it take for blood tests to come back?!

I am not a huge person but the weight is a concern because i am older and clothes I once wore don't fit over my thighs, is there anything I can do to drop the weight fairly quickly, say 2-4 months, no fad diet of course but how much exercise and what foods help with losing pounds?

I saw 2 different doctors this week ( my gyno and my primary care) and both couldnt see anything wrong with my leg. My husband thought it looked swollen the other day when he gave me a massgae but the doctors couldnt see anything. Wouldn't the doctors have seen pitted edema if I had it? It hurts to walk and the pain starts from my lower back and my inner thigh. I had blood work( metabolic profile) and CBC and the doctor said it all looked great. Could I have the pitted edema and both doctors overlooked it?

Been to the hospital today and the doctor told me it looked like an std,however, i am married and dont think my husband would do anything.
These symptoms came after sex.
I have pus on my cervix, greenish/pink/yellow discharge, and pain in my back. she said my cerix was imflamed and it didnt look to good. and she was hard on about STDs. but no test came back yet. she said she knows what the human anatamy is and its not supoised to look like that when I asked if anything else can cause it besides std.

has anyone had any experience like that and it wasnt an std?

My friend has Genital warts. He went to the store and bought wart medicine ( the kind you put on your finer, or knee) and applied it to his penis. Apparently the warts fried and fell off. I don't think this was a good idea...what could happen? Infection?

Lately i have been drinking alot of orange juice and apple juice fortified with Vitamin C and my favorite gum also has Vitamin C and other antioxidants in it. The throat lozenges i frequently use contain Vitamin C. And i crave orange juice all the time, so to stop drinking it is kinda out of the question. I'm afraid that maybe i am getting too much in my system. Is that even possible?

I bench 55 pounds and I can do about 8-9 reps before I get tired and I stop at about 10 reps. I am worried because I get tired before I feel any burn...which I don't feel a burn. Why is it that I don't feel a burn?

I have recently had another yeast infection; well I am pretty sure i know why i had it, because about 2 weeks ago i was taking antibiotics because i was real sick with tonsillitis . And it was the only best way to cure my tonsils infection. And now i developed a yeast infection that i am currently taking medicine for, well my question is i still haven't had my cycle for this month , does this have anything to do with my yeast infection that my period is late?
And I am sexually active but i use protection, no birthcontrol.

I am 5'7" - 5'8", fluctuating between 150 and 160 pounds. I carry most of my weight in my hips, butt, and thighs (as most women). I have relatively good knowledge on how to lose weight, I just need help with what kind of diet and workouts I should be doing specifically and how often for my body type. I have good muscle tone but what I want is to lose the fat. I'd like to weigh around 135 or at least feel/look like I weigh that much. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
