Health - 28 July 2007

I have Carpal Tunnel and the only time it bothers me is when I am sleeping. I swear I am up 4 or 5 times a night. So I am just wondering if it is worth the money to buy the brace. Or if it does not matter.

I am 17, and i am 6'5, and i weigh 320 lbs. I played football this last year and it was tough due to my being out of shape and i want/need to lose weight. I worked out all winter and played baseball in the spring but i just cant seem to take and/or keep any weight off!! I am taking rediculous amounts of insulin just to keep my blood sugars OK but this is going to kill me if it keeps going on like this. All i need to know is if gastric bypass is a viable option for a type 1 diabetic? and if it isnt then what should i try??

Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated

Thanks

This summer, I have really felt low. I have been fighting with my parents constantly, and I have cried myself to sleep more than 5 times. I feel that no one loves me, especially the guy I am in love with. He does not share the same feelings as I do do him.

I feel that I will never find a perfect man for me, and I will be alone forever. Many times, I dread hanging out with friends, and for three weeks, have stayed in the house on the computer. I don't enjoy dancing any more ( I danced for 11 years, and quit) and I don't enjoy horseback riding any more.

I constantly worry over everything. To the point of panic attacks. I worry about my parents, my pets, friends, and more. I have serious mood swings and I tend to flip out at people, and I feel terrible afterward.

What do you think? I just want to be happy.

Medicine from the pharmacy might be good but I prefer herbal medicines. Anyone can recommend a proven, effective herbal medicine for arthritis?

Or is there really a proven, effective medicine for arthritis that can be bought from the pharmacy?

I get sick and tired of all those people out there who keep saying the natural penis is dirty and smelly.
How many people out there have had close contact and sex with a natural man.
Are you saying that only natural penis's smell?
what happens with a cut guy if he doesn't wash? bet he still smells, just like if a natural guy doesnt wash he smells. I'm natural and have never had a problem with being dirty

The past year, I have wanted so badly to lose weight. I'm not obese, but have gained a lot of weight. I try to diet, but I always fail. And I try to work out, but I just don't have the stamina. Last week, I ate an entire cake (and batter) on impulse. This isn't typical of me, until I tell myself I need to diet. Then I rebel MYSELF. After this, I felt sick to my stomach; so I went to the bathroom and made myself vomit. 4-5 times in a row.

Yesterday, I tried to fast on only cranberry juice, to clean my system out. At night, I ate 3 cheese sticks and apple sauce. I'm not sure if the food made me sick, or the fact that I just ate all that, but I made myself vomit again. 3-4 Times.

Now, I want to again. I just ate a large panini, and for some reason I want to purge. I'm not sure if I am scared about gaining weight, or if I just hate feeling full.

I would appreciate only serious and polite answers. I'm really looking for real advice, not smart comments to make me feel worse.

I don't shave daily,most of the times i do when i feel the need to.
But,i happen to have razor bumps is there a way to remove them or prevent them ... And I'm talking about razor bumps around the vulva area thats about the only place i get razor bumps..

they're just little white dots all over.

I don't think that everyone that shaves gets razor bumps or do they?

My weight has gone up and down thru the years and i've been all the way up to 260 and gone down to 195, my goal is to get down to 150 again and i wondered what i can do to get their faster. I'm considering going back on my vegan diet again, i'm also sensitve to wheat and dairy so i need to stay away from that. and my trainer says i need to do cardio every single day. My question is how do i stay away from the bad foods and stop myself from binging? also how do i stay motivated to exersize every single day? I do weights 3 days a week and cardio the rest of the days.
