Health - 10 August 2007

seems like most black guys, at least in their 20's, are in much better shape physically that white guys of the same age. Black guys seem to have defined abs and big arms whereas white guys, as soon as they hit like, 22, start getting beer bellys and flabby. Why is that? Is it genetic or is it that black guys just work out more oftne then white guys.

I'm a white girl in my 20's, never dated a black guy before but seem like more and more of the white guys i meet are out of shape. and people wonder why white girls are dating black guys at a higher rate these days...lol

Last Saturday, I wore some fairly tight jeans. Now I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but throughout the day I became more and more uncomfortable. When I took off my jeans later that night, I noticed several large bumps on my stomach and left side. I also found two little rows on my back. They look a bit like bug bites, but are really close together. The patch on my tummy consists of about 9, and the one on my side and the two rows on my back are just two "bites" each, but right next to each other.

The thing about this rash is that it doesn't just itch, it burns! Sometimes, I'll get stinging pain with it, like little needles poking right through the skin. It's insane, and nothing seems to help. I've tried calamine lotion, Benadryl, triple antibiotics, alchohol wipes, and Aveeno anti itch. All things that I've had good luck with in the past but not this time.

So, I'm wondering ~ what on earth could this be???

I'm an extremely skinny and cannot gain weight. I'm a 29 year old male. I'm 6'3" and can't break 140 lbs. even though I eat constantly. I don't have any problems with my energy levels, skin, hair, or libido. I got a blood test last week and it shows my TSH level is 31.63. (normal is .35 - 5.5)

Everything I read on the internet says I should be sluggish and overweight, etc. But I feel fine.

Am I some kind of freak of nature, or could there be another explanation?

Ok, this might sound weird, but does any one know how to flatten ur stomach. I have been excercising, but it hasn't been helping. Sorry about the misspelled words. I was in a hurry.

I keep seeing this commercial for All Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About by Kevin Trudeau. I don't really want to rush out this minute and buy the book, but is there an all-natural cure for mental retardation? And if you're not technically retarded and you take it will it make you smarter?

I just found out that I have WPW (Wolf-Parkinson's-White) I have heard that people who have that are not permitted to play high school or professional sports (which doesn't bother me because I was planning on playing Pro Football) but I also heard that you can't join the ARMY with it and that kind of upset me because I almost wanted to. Does that mean I can't join the police force either??

Right now (about an hour from the burn) the area is red and it is slightly raised and you can see the outline of the tip of the iron. Just wondering if it would be a first or second degree burn?

Hi, I have been sick for about 1 week.

My stomach cramps up really bad if I lay in a certain postions. Exampple, laying sideways on the couch or chair. It hurts BADLY, like makes me want t hold my stomach and bend down. I don't feel like I need to throw up, it's just a bad pain also,
I have had a seriosu case of diarrhea. This diarrhea is strange, not like the normal "messy" kind. Mine looks spongey and it doesnt look normal.
About 3 days after all this digestive problems, (i think it is a digestive problem) my lower back began to hurt badly. Whenever i TURNED or BENT down. It would last for awile. Eventually, about 1 day later, my neck hurt. It would hurd if I turned my neck.
NOW, the BACK of MY HEAD HURTS! If I turn, or go up-side down it will hurt extremely bad. Only in the back though.
Can you please tell me what is happening?
All 5 of these problems are happening.

I ALSO have to use the bathroom about every 30min. and it is always DIARRHEA!
PLEASE HELP ME!

I am currently 5'7 about 126 lbs and I have been working out (cardio & weightlifting) for about a month now and about 2 weeks ago I was 124 lbs. I gained about a pound a week, I eat very healthy and workout 5-6 times a week. I am thinking that the 2 pounds gained is muscle? Is there anyway else to know other then a body fat percentage tester? (I will be purchasing one soon)
&P.S. The weight isn't water weight, I always only weigh myself in the mourning before consuming any liquids or food/
Thank you!

Well, I first smoking at my friends birthday party last December. We were all drunk so I took the cigarette and had no clue what I was doing. First time I ever had one. Then in march on the same day I had three at a concert. From April-June I've had about 6 or 7. Randomly I crave one (more when I'm stressed) and I frequently smell cigarette smoke. Like now, I'm sitting in front of a computer and I can just smell the smoke. Whats wrong with me?
