Health - 27 July 2007

I've been working out for a couple of months and have seen pleasing results. While I do understand that whey protein is a supplement (and should do just that; supplement protein in addition to food), and that I should be getting most of my protein from whole, quality foods...Is it wrong to depend mainly on whey protein for my protein intake? I aim for a very high protein intake (250-300+) but with my work schedule I find it difficult to eat as much as I'd like (while im not necessarily skimping on food, just not as much as I'd like). So is protein from a drink that different or inferior to protein from tuna or chicken? Your opinions are appreciated thank you in advance.

I'm only sixteen, 5'3 and only 120 lbs. and I've already got veins on my ankles and legs. Can i do anything to prevent from getting more? And I know that there is surgery to get them removed, but is there a less drastic approach to making them go away?

I've heard that when you go on a diet, you're not supposed to let your stomach get to the point of growling. If not, how *are* you supposed to loose weight? Because that's the only way i can. But I don't continue on letting my stomach growl, once it starts growling, I eat as soon as possible. But when it does growl, I don't eat everything in site. I just eat untill I'm not hungry.

I'm not depressed all the time but as of the last week, my kitten had to be declawed (not my choice) and nuetered, he's back home but you can tell hes in pain. I lost my job and i'm having a hard time finding another one, and many other things, their are just too many to mention. This is all happening at one time and i'm wondering if i will ever get over this. I have cried non stop for the past couple days. I don't want to see the doctor for this because I rarely get depressed. I just don't see how i'm going to get through it this time. Besides medicine how does everyone deal with depression?

There's this itch/burning sensation that appeared yesterday in my vagina. I think it's a yeast infection, but my discharge seems normal. I bought some Canesten but on the instructions it says that I have to see my doctor if I'm not sure if it's a yeast infection, and not to take it if I have abdominal pains.

The thing is, I went to the doctors just a few days ago, for abdominal pains, and they diagnosed me with an intestinal blockage and constipation, for which I've started to take some medication and a laxative.

I'm not sure if I should go see the doctor again. I'm afraid of whay they'll think at the clinic if I come back so soon. But at the same time I'm afraid of using the product if that's not what I have.

Can anybody give me any tips on how to sleep better at night. Everytime for the past few nights I have been crying everytime I try to sleep. I am waking up when I hear my dad get up worring if things will be ok (i.e. has my dog behaved). I am tired at work, making small mistakes. Normally I only cry wildly when alone at night but I have been struggling to keep things under control today, which is not useful as I have been working.

Any suggestions on how I can calm myself and not ressolve to tears when trying to sleep.

I have been on the shot for 3 doses and I plan on getting off the shot next month. But I am wondering if I have already had to much damage done on my body. I also am having pain in both my hands. When I was pregnant with both my babies I had carpal tunnel in my right wrist. Please let me know if any of these bad symptoms have happened to anyone else. I also feel like I got ran over by a truck on some days. There is also alot of discomfort in my lower pelvis and abdomen.

I am allergic to dust mites which would include bedbugs so need to know whether lower temperature would work. 40 degrees is recommended, seems low to me.

My friend just asked everyone if they want to go out drinking . I ofcourse at this stage cant. It sucks I want to hang out but if they are going to be drinking all the time I guess they cant be my friends anymore. If anyone else has been in this situation what have you done? I go to AA but Im beginning to find that that is the only place where I dont feel like a screw up. That isnt very many places.

i was recently tested for an UTI & it came back normal, but when i went to an OB/GYN they found leukocyte in my urine...now the doctor asked me if i wanted to go on antibiotics but i was on them before. & it's also possible i have a yeast infection. so how do i treat the leukocyte??? i was on antibiotics before & it wasn't improving. then i stop taking them because my UTI was negative & they told me to stop taking them...does leukocyte mean i have a UtI? does anybody know how can this be treated? i called a primary doctor but got no answer. so what should i do??

I was stung by something on tuesday (3 days ago) in a sump and i didnt see what it was. I instantly felt tingling through my leg. The spot that was stung has swollen to double the size with a red ring about 4 inches in diameter. I cannot see a stinger but the spot that was stung is sort of indented and soft. I tried to squeeze the vemon out and only got clear liquid so not sure if that worked. My leg is tender in the spot that was stung and when i bend my leg foward its a little painful.

Last night i wrapped my leg in a cold wet cloth with a bandage around it to stop the swelling but when i woke up and removed the bandage my foot began to swell. No from the bottom of my calf to my toes is double to triple the size.

Any idea what i got stung by and how can i treat it. I have used cortizone to stop the itching but nothing else yet.
