Health - 18 September 2007

I am not going in for anything weight-related, and being weighed would make me uncomfortable.

What is the best way to tell the nurse no, without having to go into discussion and the nurse trying to convince me?

About once or twice a year, I get an extreme allergic reaction to food - but I'm not sure which food causes it.

After eating, my stomach will feel like a pit of acid, and then I begin to get a horrible rash all over my body. The rash will start under my arms, between my legs, and on my chest - and it'll eventually go all over. It is unbearably itchy - even in my throat and eyes. My heart will begin to beat extrodinarily fast, and I will become very nauseus. It feels like there is swelling under my chin and that my throat is closing up.

The only thing that stops the allergy is two Benadryl tablets.

The symptoms are incredibly awful, and I honestly think that without an antihistamine I would probably die.

I've recorded the foods that have given me the allergy, and they seem unrelated: macaroni & cheese, chicken burger, cocoa powder... so I figure it must be some contaminant.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

My sleeping habit is really not normal. Most of the time I sleep late midnight at around 2 a.m. and wake up early in the morning for my class. Because of this, I usually sleep upon arriving home every afternoon and wake up at night around 10 p.m. to eat, study and do other stuffs. After doing those things, I will sleep at around 2 a.m. One more thing, I'm into eating sweets, i just wonder if that is one reason of my problem.

It seems like I exercise like crazy, eat pretty healthy for the most part, but no matter what I still have the ring of fat around my waist. Is there anything, short of liposuction, that I should be doing that can truly get rid of this 40 yr. old male spare tire?

He badly needs several root canals, but Medicare will only pay to have all of his teeth pulled. I hate to see him lose all his teeth at such a young age, but I have no money to help him. Are there any financial aid programs or dentists who might help? He is in a lot of pain.

They make anti-bacterial soap, but that does not kill off viruses (like the common cold and flu viruses).

My husband has the following (and in my opinion, contradicting) symptoms...high blood sugar-between 260 and 400, irritability, he drinks a lot of water and gets up 3-4 times a night to get rid of it, he's lost 30 lbs (5'8", 130 lbs), more recently-he has been extremely lethargic. We are working on getting insurance, I just wanted to get an idea of what's going on?
