Health - 13 July 2007

i've been doing taebo and eating about 1,300 calories per day(i eat 5 small meals a day- to keep my metabolism high) so far ive lost about 10 pounds. i still have about 20 pounds to go before im at my "ideal" weight. anyway, im going to keep doing the workouts when school starts, but i'll have to go back to eating 3 meals a day.

do you think ill gain the weight back because im not eating as frequently? even if i eat the same-(or less- if thats what it takes) # of calories?

any advice would be great

Do doctors call nurses by their first name when addressing them in front of patients. I can't remember.

Or do they call them nurse?

Help - my family thinks I'm unhealthy because I don't do things normal people in their twenties do - I don't like to sit down for heavy meals with my family, and I don't like to tan. My grandmother has become worried because I don't tan (I look too pale for her) and I "don't eat" (I eat about 5-6 small meals a day - usually consisting of oats, nuts, raw fruits and veggies, good carbohydrates (like brown rice) and fish). She says I'm going to get sick. I also work out every day (I run about 3-4 miles per day, and I'm trying to include yoga or pilates into my daily routine). How can I convince them my lifestyle is healthy?

Ever since I can remember I've been EXTREMELY emotional. No, not just around that time of the month, but always. I used to attribute it to my being a Pisces but now I think it might be something more than that. Is there a way that I can train myself to not be so emotional? If so, how would I go about it?

After 25 years of depression, 6 years of suicidal depression, and diagnoses of borderline with severe depression and BPD, I finally got on the right meds and got stable for two years.

Wednesday night something pushed me back over the edge and I was whoosh! Suddenly suicidal. I mean it took me a minute to go from being okay to upset to suicidal. I haven't even thought of hurting myself for two years - and BAM, I spent 5 hours grasping for something - anything - to keep me from overdosing.

I stayed suicidal yesterday; today the SI is gone (thank GOD) but the depression remains and I feel like I've totally regressed. I thought I was DONE with SI (suicidal ideation) but this has me wondering if it will never really be gone.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? How did you deal with the self-disappointment over letting yourself fall back into this stupid pit? Did you find your way out? Was it the same thing that helped the first time? Did I bring this on myself?

Hi all. I just wondered if anyone had suffered from this and had a doctor who knew why it happened.

The thing is that say if I go into a shop and its really warm, I start to get hot quickly,get prickly heat,feel dizzy and my left side of chest hurts.

Now Ive had around 5 heart tests over the past year so my doctors wont give me any more tests in that region and they just say its anxiety and/or muscle tension.

Any ideas?

thanks for reading

p.s my chest doesnt hurt with exercise, Im 24,non smoker,non drinker,average build.

My husband is 35- high blood pressure and high cholesterol run in his family. He is currently taking BP medication.

So the most recent blood work shows the following:

Total Cholesterol is 203 (needs to be under 200)
HDL is 65 (should be greater than 39)
LDL is 77 (should be less than 130)
Triglycerides is 305 (should be under 150)

***the stuff in parenthesis is what we were told***

That being said. His tri level has dropped from 489 to 305 with the minor diet changes he has made in the last few months.

What do all these number mean? Would most Dr's suggest putting him on medication if he is improving his numbers through diet? (he doesn't want to start taking meds just yet but he will if he has to)

I have a hole in my gum behind my last tooth in the back of my mouth. What could be going on? I don't have any insurance for going to a dentist as I have Tenncare PHP and they don't offer any dentristry care. What can I do to prevent it from getting any worse? I think that I can touch the bone when I put my finger back there. We don't have much money but I want to get something done because I don't want it to get any worse. Where can I go? What can I do to prevent it from getting worse. It doesn't hurt but I am very worried.
