I am fourteen. I have many of the symptoms like: fatigue, urinating a lot, excessvie thirst, blurry vision (which I have had since October), and unexplained weight loss. I thought at first maybe the thirstiness was because I just got my toncsils out about a month ago, but I don't think the other symptoms are from this. I have taken risk tests online and I have a "low to medium risk." No one in my immidiate family has diabetes, however I do have an uncle, and some other distant relatives who have diabetes. My mother thinks my weight loss has something to do with my toncsils, but this has been over a month...I eat constantly, I can never really get full but I weight myself and I'm at the same exact weight. I am afraid to tell my mom that I think I have diabetes because my whole family thinks I'm a hypochondriac (I think i'm always sick or something is wrong) and that I just over exaggerate about these problems. If anyone thinks my symptoms are caused by something else please let me know.

My sister died a couple of months ago and after a delayed reaction, my son now seems to need to touch things (especially me and his Dad) two times. Like if I bump his right knee, he makes me bump the left knee too. It started a few weeks ago and has now gotten really bad. Has this happened to anybody else? Does it pass? I do have an appointment to see a psychologist but just wondering what I should be doing to help make it go away (and am worried that it won't). Any info you can give me would be most appreciated. Thanks so much.

I am starting the pill next week when I start my period. I am going to start the first day of my period. Starting it when I start my period means that the birth control will work right away, right? I don't need to wait a full month before it is working, right? Just curious. I want to make sure I know the facts so I don't end up pregnant.

Thanks!

Everytime I go to my doctor they urge me to get more exersize and tell me I am overweight, and need to get into shape (by doing something). Honestly, I dont think Im that bad. I am 6'2'' and weigh about 200 pounds. My weight is pretty evenly distributed...Im not "big" in one area, but Im solid everywhere. I am not muscular, per se, but Im fairly strong. Just not very toned. Anyways, Ive never really even been in bad health...Im doing just fine.

My heart does well, and my blood pressure is a little high (but I attribute that to "white coat syndrome" because when I take it at home its pretty darn normal). Is there something Im not getting???


Why do my doctors keep telling me this, and what are your thoughts on my weight? (I know its hard without actually being around me).

2500 years ago, Hippocrates, the father of nutrition and medicine, laid out the following 10 rules, which have been largely ignored by the medical profession:

1. The natural way is the only way.

2. Treat the cause of an illness, not the symptom.

3. Look to the spine for illnesses.

4. Throw away your drugs and heal the people with food.

5. Most illnesses can be prevented by eating natural foods.

6. A healthy colon is essential.

7. Do not administer dangerous and harmful drugs.

8. Do no harm to your patients.

9. Do not perform surgery for money.

10. The word protein means most important.

My three month old has had a slight cough since he had his first set of injections three weeks ago. I haven't taken him to the doctor as it only happened a few times a day, mostly when i put him on his back. He was feeding fine and seemed happy and healthy.

Over the last three days his cheeks have been flushed red on and off throughout the day so i took his temperature which came out at 37c. He also feels quite clammy and is dribbling a lot and has also been quite irritable in the evenings.

Should i wait until the doctors surgery opens tomorrow or do something about it now. I looked on the internet and it said a cough in babies under 4 months can be serious. Now i feel like an awful person for not taking him to the doctors sooner. Does anyone know what this may be?? Thanks for your comments, no nasty answers please.

Due to a physical disability, I'm in a wheel chair non-motorized). I do have a weight problem (under 300lbs.) and am looking for exercises that I can do to help me lose weight. Currently I'm unemployed, so I can't really participate in things that cost a lot of money; I do get S.S. disability income. Also, I am not wheel chair bound; I can get on the floor to do exercises.

If you have any ideas, or know of any web sites that I can go to, please let me know Thank you.


P.S. Links to web sites would be helpful.

P.S.S. I'm 37
