Is it not time fat people stopped blaming everything on "some unpronouncable" disease and just started eating, exercising and working properly.
They have an excuse for why they are fat...There is NO MEDICAL evidence whatsoever that suggests an over active glands / thyroids make you fat.

I have a simple formulae for what makes people fat, you can note it down if you want.

Excess Food + No Exercise + Blame a bad childhood or depression = ONE BIG BONED MOFO. Get the idea...

Stop Shovelling it in and do something....lard ****

Okay, I am asking this for my mom. Over the last few months she has developed this HORRIBLE cough that just keeps getting worse. She has been to the doctor, who thinks it might be allergies. She is using Advair, and that has helped minimally--although I think it is getting progressively worse. She had requested a scope, but the Dr. didn't think that was necessary. Now, she owns up to having a metallic taste in her mouth for three weeks, and just this week has developed some sort of sores on the back half of her tongue. (I haven't seen them personally.) Any ideas? Before anyone asks, she has never been a smoker, and doesn't drink. (If that matters.)

I'm planning a day at the amusement park and want to actually enjoy myself and not be a bother to the people I'm going with, which is a slight problem when I get extremely sick on spinny, up and down rides ( I spin around in circles a few times and need to sit down, it's that bad!) Does anyone know of any good motion sickness remedies-- bracelets, pills, tablets, foods, tips, anything? Thanks a million!

I had a blood test done this morning. I needed to fill 7 tubes of blood, however, by the time I got to tube 4 the blood had started to stop coming out. So it only got filled up half way & the final 3 tubes only got a tiny amount in them. The nurse kept trying to drain a little more but nothing would come out. I'm Aneamic, my mother thinks my low iron level is the reason I didn't have enough blood, but is that the actual reason? & is it even possible to run out of blood so to speak when having blood taken?

Also, i'm not a vegetarian but I don't like to eat meat, so what are some other iron rich foods I can have instead?

OK, so I know that soda is the worst enemy of mine an my weight issues. I've gone through high school and college fluctuating my weight from 155 to 180. Now I'm at my heaviest ever, 195 : (.

I know the biggest culprit of mine is soda, but it's so good and 'adictive' to me. My husband recently found some pics from his photog class fourish years ago. And OMG, I was about 160 then and thought I was fat, but looking at it from todays perspective, I want to be there again, happy and healthier.

I consume about a 20 oz per day (averaging over a week period) How can I get myself to cut it out, or limit it extremely in my diet.

Please don't give me "drink more water instead", "just don't" type answers. It's a real issue for me and I need some tricks, inspirations, substitutes (but never diet sody, UCK!).

Thanks in advance for all the serious and truthful answers.

I have always informed my partners of my condition and practiced abstinence before,during and at least a week after healing.my partners didn't want me to use a comdom.I am still in contact with my exgirlfriends;none of them have shown any trace of the virus.my last relationship lasted for 9yrs and we have been separated for 5yrs now,she has had few physicals;the last one 6wks ago and no trace of the virus.I have been abstinent now for 5yrs because of all this paranoia going on;people are freaking out,this phenomena is out of control destroying the social life of a lot of people.we are going in space and we are unable to find a vaccine ...there something terribly wrong here.I am dating a new person now I will take this poison chemical called valtrex which is also terribly expensive.well now I realise with money you can buy happiness!!too bad if there is some side effects but I guess we have to keep on going.I am allergic to comdoms I can't perform with them;I would prefer abstinence

I have also been bloated for a while now and it looks as if I am 6 months PG or something. Anyone know what this could be? Once Again...It is not pregnancy!

It just all of a sudden started tonight and it comes and goes. However it seems to come when I'm trying to go to sleep. It kind of moves all around, from my shoulders to my side, to the front, to my back, but all on the left side. And when it's worse is in the lower back, just above my bottom. Any ideas?

Does a patient's behavior when demented reflect the way they were in life at all? Or are they just not themselves at all? It's hard to believe that some of the more abusive dementia patients I deal with weren't maybe a little nasty beforehand.

Do you have intrusive, unwanted thoughts? About what? Do they get worse or more uncontrollable when you're under stress? When you can't get the thoughts out of your head, do you become frustrated or depressed? What are some coping mechanisms?
