Health - 1 August 2007

I'm fatigue, and have shortness of breath a lot (even just sitting) and I'm sleeping about 14 hours a day (usually 10 at night and a 4 hour nap in the afternoon) plus it seems like small activities cause my muscles to ach. and when I'm not sleeping I'm still fatigued... things like reading a book become a chore (I like reading usually) and I'm only 18

I can't think of what it could be... I eat relatively healthy (no caffein), I had mono when I was little and it feels similar (from what I can remember, I was 8) Oh and I'm hot a lot especially when I sleep I've had these symptoms for a few months somedays its worse than others but it's pretty consistent...

anyone have any Ideas of what it is??

ok, a few days ago, I was playing truth or dare with a few people. I was dared for a guy to put his (you know) in my mouth for 10 secs. He did, and he was limp ( not erected). He is known to sleep around with other people, but we never had sex and he didnt ejaculate in my mouth. Today and for a few days, my lymph nodes are swollen in my armpit and neck, could I be infected with HIV, is that possible. This guy is in the military and married, though does sleep around. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

I thought i was pregnant but then i started my period, i am always really regular with my period. I usually have some cramps the day before and a little the day I start. I have never had really bad cramps my whole life, but today i am having the worst cramps I have ever had. It is so bad i feel really sick and i cant even get up. Medicine isn't working. Could I be pregnant or having a miscarriage? or just a case of BAD cramps?? what can i do about the pain??

Hi,

I am trying to find out natural ways to bring the blood pressure down. I have a friend who has just found out that their blood pressure is QUITE high, not just a few points.

The problem is that they have a history of not doing very well with drugs. Most of the drugs that the doctors have prescribed for various things throughout the years have not worked, or done just the opposite of what was supposed to happen. My friend thinks that their body chemistry is just different than the average and that drugs just don't work well for them.

Therefore, they are really scared to try taking any blood pressure drugs. I am trying to gather up some information to help them figure out what to do instead of drugs.

I know things like eating less salt, losing weight and stuff like that, but could you please point out some of the things that may not be so obvious? Also any herbs or something that is good for that?

Thank you for your help and I look forward to your responses!

The young woman has suffered and recuperated before as a teen in an inpatient hospital. She has relapsed and refused real treatment, basically a counselor here, a nutritionist there to make her parents think she is doing something, but after four years she is still 5'10 and about 105 pounds. She eats about 500 calories a day. Everyone wonders why we don't do something. We don't know what to do. She's an adult. She cuts off communication when we really get serious with her. We are really frightened.

Before I got pregnant I usually have regular menses. But after I stopped breastfeeding my menses came back irregularly, the first one was 32 days, then 36 days and now I'm still waiting for it for 41 days now. I took pregnancy test but it turns out negative, I wonder what's wrong.

When people feel cravings for food(binge)
and alcohol ,is it really the body asking for something ,healthy maybe?
Why does it not crave things that are good for us?does it,and we misinterpret?

So yeah I want another baby but soo scared, its a health issure. I have hypertension I got preclampsia when i was 8 mnths preggers and it never went away after I had him and developed hypertension not to mention I have an irregular heart beat now. I'm 5'4 and 290 last time I checked. My hubby want to try to have a girl and I've been wanting one because I really dont want to have one 5 or so yrs later i dont want my children that far apart, and my poor son has been saying mommy why dont I have a brother cause he sees all his lil friends with one and i feel bad. I was thinking about going to the doc and having test ran to see if it would be ok but they told be before it prob wasnt a good idea so i'm kinda crushed i've heard of plenty of ppl saying they had good pregnancies and they just changed their BP mediceine to something that wasnt harmfull to the baby, I just dont want to get toxemia or anything if I do but i figured if i was on BPM i wouldnt right? And I have so much scar tissure from my c-section the after i had him gallbladder surgery that it pulls on my stomach and u cant touch under my belly button on my tummy without sending pains so then i wonder if i preggers and the baby kicks will it hurt since i have so much scar tissure? sorry this is so long i just dont know what to do?

Lately, I keep forgetting things, misplacing things, missing appointments, etc. It is all Uncle Al's fault - I swear! He's quite a jetsetter too, and makes his rounds around the globe quite often I hear. He's really a famous guy I'm told, at least the older folks seem to know him better than the young folks do. But now he's visiting me & I want him to leave me alone! His last name is Heimer - does anyone else know about him? or been visited by him lately?
