Health - 17 August 2007

i went to donate blood for the first time today. i was a walk-in so i wasnt even expecting to donate today. So before i went i ate. Everything was fine during the whole process, but after the bag got filled i started feeling really hot and was ready to pass out. The nurse had to keep talkin to me to keep me up. Then they let me lay down for awhile. After that i walked back to work which was like a 2 block walk. Once i got here, I was ready to pass out again. Is it safe to drive home? and, what should i do to help myself feel better? Also i keep gettin real real hot and then real real cold. . . i have no idea whats going on. . . .I feel weak. . . idk if its just cuz it was my first time or wat

With this prescription do I really need real glasses or would cheap reading glasses work for me? I wasn't sure if the woman at the eye place was just trying to sell me glasses or if she really thought I needed them. She kept saying you really need glasses and she acted like she couldn't believe I hadn't been wearing any when she saw what my prescription was.

Prescription is OD +250, -75, 90, OS +250, -100, 110

Thanks guys!

I usually don`t get cramps. I just get lower back pain. But, my last two periods i`ve gotten really bad cramps. I have an irregular period too. Can it be because i`m not eating well? I`ve tried drinking lots of water. What can I do?

I am virtually starving all the time. What's going on?
I am on my feet all day at work running from place to place. I do ride my bike to work instead of drive, i only live about 1.5 miles away. I did start taking dance lessons. I expected to want to eat more but not this much. All this starving started after I decided to stop eating fast food for lunch every single day. I started riding my bike and dance lessons to lose weight but if I'm starving I don't see how I can lose weight.
HOw can I control this hunger?

Mini clear- clear braces, they are still visible but not as much as traditional ones. They are more expensive.

Traditional braces- Cheeper but don't look as good.

I just got a temporary filling with IRM and I'm just wondering is it okay to use a fluoride mouth rinse (sodium fluoride), more specifically, Oral B mouthrinse with fluoride? Because I know that sometimes you can't use fluoride before whitening and other procedures.

okay so i wont get into too much detail and theres a lot more complicated issues involved, but my parents got divorced last year, i was in a bad relationship, and im getting my associates degree.. i just turned 16 last monday.

my life is really stressful, and this summer has been better.. ive taken time to do yoga every day and paint and study(prepare) for next year to try to lighten the load a bit.. but i start school in 2 days and im really worried that ill be stressed out again and start being grouchy and in a bad mood..

last year i was cheerful and happy at school but when i got home i was practically a different person, disrespectful and mean almost.. looking back at it i feel so embarrased that i treated my family that way and ive explained to them that i love them and ive apologized

but i want help in how to deal with things.. besides the obvious talking to people and taking time to myself every once in a while

i just want your opinions.. thanks :)

If you take these meds and feel better, happier, calmer, more rationable and feel like a reasonable human being, does that mean that you definitely have either an anxiety disorder or a depression disorder of some sorts that is underlying?

I seem to be very irritable and depressed and anxious and can't concentrate very well that seemed to have increased with my age, and then I started taking some ativan, and 5-htp. In time I noticed my mood lift and generally I just felt alot better.

So, does that mean that since I'm a responder, that I do have anxiety and depression?

Also, if a "normal" person took these, would they notice any differences? thanks.
