Health - 2 July 2007

okay i have looked all over this site and still cant find what i need....i recently went for my annual physical and the dr checked my thryoid said it was at 2.1 level, told me that it was "normal" but gave me a referal to see an endocrinologist. my question is has anyone had a 2.1 level and why do i need to go to a specialist if its "normal". AND what does a 2.1 level mean????

any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

In China, many persons suffer from one Rabies question! Because Rabies describe like this : All the dogs bite or scratch can give you Rabies, and Rabies incubation period is from few days to sevral decades, and you need vaccine in 24 hours , otherwise is not effective! So many persons are worry to die: They have been bitten by dogs, but didn't get vaccine in 24 hours, how can they do now? They want to vaccine now, but are afraid the vaccine is still effective, because half of doctors say useless after 24 hours. So pls try to answer this question, not for fun, maybe you can save many persons, because many person want to kill himself for not knowing if they will die of Rabies one day!

New man, new house, new job but guess what still depressed!. Have money in the bank but still depressed!. have tried fish oil, st johns wort, prozac, 5HTP, Vit B6 but nothing lifts it.

i am tired being me i dont want to be me! i try to hide it and everyone thinks i am the life and soul always joking and singing!
i feel i have to see to so many others needs - husband, children, dogs , uni stuff, agh i cant cope!.
Why cant they get a grip, get a job and act like adults - i am ranting about my children now. Why cant my husband use a washing machine and run his life like an adult?

i am tired and dont know where to start with my uni work have 13k essay to write and just cant get started! So many other things to do dog to vet, son to job centre, pick up other son who has no money but wont get a job, clean house, make tea, phone bank about overdraft.

Does anyone know of any other product/ self help take that would help with depression. Sorry to rant and bore you to tears!

I read in a mag the other day that beyonce knowles done a diet called the reverse food diet (something like that (and no, its not about throwing up)) :oP
Anyway, she said she has a big meal for breakfast, a healthy lunch, and cereal in the evening instead of a dinner.
What do you think of this? Do you think its do-able? has anyone done it? did it help you lose weight? did it affect your body? was it bad?

Any help on it at all would be helpful.

Thanks.

Over the last 8 or 9 months I have been gaining a little more weight than I ever have before. At about the same time my cycle got a little messed up too. I went to see my doctor and my thyroid screening came back abnormal. I have read that having thyroid problems can slow down and almost shut off a body's metabolism, so I'm thinking this would explain my recent weight problems and inability to lost the weight. I was wondering if anyone who has a thyroid problem but is on medication has had similar weight issues and after the medication was able to lose the weight? how quickly did your body's metabolism bounce back after medication? I'm not too worried about my weight and am just happy to know what is wrong with me. I was just curious if anyone has any personal experience on thyroid medication and weight loss.

I have been wearing a patch, but not ready to go solo I have tried nicotine patches in the past as recommended, but failed to stay away from smoking, I get past the nicotine cravings, but the psychological side of it gets me all the time. Wearing a nicotin patch has really worked, but how long can I safely wear it for?

Where does alcohol fit in? In my opinion it's a pretty bad one, worse than many illegal drugs.

What about cigarettes?

Do you think these drugs are only seen as harmless because they're socially acceptable?

I've been on the treadmills thrice and would like to continue to work out. The problem is my mother believes they're bad because someone told her that I still need to grow (I'm 14) and my muscles will grow stiff resulting in an operation. Is this true? What other ways can I work out that'll actually burn a lot of calories at the age, otherwise?
