Health - 17 July 2007

I STRONGLY doubt I have any STDs, but I just wanna make SURE I don't have any. I'm going to get tested the day after next. The reason why is because of my ex-boyfriend cheating, even though he & I used protection every single time. I've had STD testing before, & I'm scared of them sticking stuff up me. It's uncomfortable & really painful. But it's way better off than suffering an STD. I have a nervous disorder & can't stay relaxed or keep still.

I know when I was in the hospital, they were serving us fruit juice with our medicine, instead of water.

Today my boyfriend was hospitalized again. This time around I hope they actually focus on what the cause of his depression and that is his eating disorder. He has been suffering from it since he was younger and has been in treatment before but has relapsed. My question is what is it that I can do to help him. No matter what I'm supporting him, he's tried telling me to go, that he doesn't deserve me, but I know that the man I fell in love with is still there. I'm having some problems coping with this on my own and am in serious need of people to talk to if they have ever dealt with my kind of situation. My sister suffered from bulimia a few years ago so I do know the basics about ED but I've never really seen it happen in men and I know it does more frequently than people think, I just need to know from someones perspective how to cope. I don't want to lose him, I love him more than anything in this world and his being sick is killing me...Help!

- I don't want to buy any weights. Just the bar and bench.
-Also, if you can where I can buy it from, that would be helpful.

I walk 5 days/week,since March.(Found out I'm borderline diabetic.)Now, while walking, I get goose bumps & a slight chill. The chill fades quickly & a sensation occurs- the top of my head, top of the ears up, is light & lifting off my head. I then get off balance & am unable to walk straight or without stumbling.
This "lightheadedness" may last from a minute or two, to the rest of the walk. I find it very disconcerting/odd. It throws off my workout. I have almost fallen dozens of times. The same thing happened a few years ago when I ran. So I stopped.
I am not out of shape. Also, my blood sugar is great. I checked my blood pressure-normal. Had a stress test done before I started; my heart is normal as well. Thought it might be my ipod buds shorting out & shocking me. Walked without them & still had the same problem. I am at a loss. Does anyone know why this could be happening?
(I used to be an avid runner; 5-10 miles, 5 days/week. This is not a "runner's high".)
Any ideas?

I just got braces today and they really hurt! Everybody tells me that the pain goes away but it's the brackets rubbing against by lips that really hurt. Will this go away and will the wax help this go away?

I don't know what to do! I over eat alot...I never really seen it as an eating disorder, but maybe it is...I don't know what to do anymore. I have tried to just stop eating so much and only eat 3 meals a day and maybe a snack or two, but I can't. If I am not eating, I am thinking about food or looking for something to eat. I am a little over weight, but not to bad, I just want this to stop, but I don't know what to do. I am always depressed, but mostly now it is because I can't control my eating habits. What am I supposed to do? Please help! Also..I don't need criticism..I feel bad enough. Thanks in advance.

What exercises is it important for and should you use it all the time or just for heavy lifts?

I dont use one at the moment but have had some back issues in the past and now I am starting to push heavier weights I was wanting to know if I should get one.

For example, my blood type is A+ - I read on Wikipedia that the UK and the Americas most common blood type is O. A+ is usually most commonly found in Europe - so does that mean that if i trace back far enough in my family tree i could have some European family members?
Sorry if the question comes across as a little uneducated - just curious.Thanks.

If so, how is it working for you? are you loosing weight? and the fact it states about having bowel accidents is not true fro me..I am following the plan as it suggested, but I think i would do just has well without that little blue pill. In fact I was thinking if it was just a placebo9Sugar PILL) to make us think before we put that food into our mouths..Anyone else have the same thoughts or others? I have lost 4pouds and I will keep this lifestyle up to better my heath and life. Thank you so very much for all your input I know I am going to recieve!

It felt like a pin prick and then bothered me a little. Then this morning I touched it and the pain started and swelling and redness. It is slightly throbbing too.

When does the swelling go down and throbbing stop?
