Im a diabetic who keeps her sugar under control fairly well. My problem is my feet hurt all the time. My job requires me to be on my feet all the time so it would be understandable if my feet would be sore after work, but they hurt all the time! Iv'e had foot massages and soaked my feet even with epsom salt but nothing seems to work. On my days off they just throb. I know diabetics are supposed to take good care of their feet. They don't burn or tingle just hurt especially the bottom part of my foot. My friend gave me an ultram and that seemed to help the pain. What else can I do? Please help!

I was so stressed out today, had to go for a pre-employment check up at a last minute notice.

Slept at about 4am and a phone call came in at 10am asking me to go for an immediate check up without any prior notice (what the hell?!)... and I have not even taken my breakfast or medication at that time...

140/100 was the calculation... and my age is only 23!

The usual medication I am on was Atenolol 50mg (I was previously on 100mg and HCT), but as my pressure was down, my dosage went to 50mg.

Right now, I'm on 100mg and HCT once more... and I need to return for a re-check up next week.

Is there a way to bring it down to the lowest in just a matter of 6 days or so?

I'm planning to take lots of nap, some exercises and continue with my fruit & vegetable diet (minimal oil, fat and almost zero meat).

What do you think and what's your suggestion?

I'm feeling pretty down right now... its just 'unfair', somehow... but its life eh?


Thanks in advance :-)

how crazy does a person have to be to have them committed against their will? they are able to hold down a job, and they haven't threatened harm to themselves or anyone else. but he needs serious help. he is becoming more and more paranoid and delusional. he would never agree to any type of help, because he is Class A narcissist. what are the options for us? this is for a family member.

My husband has a genital wart on his anal area. Can I possibly get this from him if we have sexual intercourse? I am kinda worried about this. Does this ever turn into HIV if not treated?

afghanistan maybe? this is a legitamit question, pertaining to the basic freedom for a person to do whatever it is they want (as long as it affects no one but themselves of course) more of a psychological thing I was wondering about, if people are allowed to do this anywhere in the world.

I've had a water infection for a few days, I don't get them very often but I've been drinking lots of water & cranberry juice, not having sex etc but today I've had lots of pain in my lower back, almost like a stabbing pain.
I had the same thing about a year ago when I had a water infection but that only lasted a day, when I went to bed I was in a lot of pain but was fine the next morning. What could this be and is it anything to worry about?

It's freaky! Last night, I bought the Monistat 3 day ovules. I used one before I went to bed. When I woke up this morning and went to the restroom, I noticed orange spots in my underwear. When I went to wipe, it was as if someone poured orange koolaid on the toilet paper and when I flushed, the urine was bright orange! I tried to think if it had anything to do with something I took or drank. I had a lot of cranberry juice before bed and I took a pill that keeps your urinary tract "healthy" so I'm thinking it could've been a reaction to that, however, I'm not sure and can't find anything on it. Any ideas? Thanks!

Sometimes two or three times. It's really annoying.

I don't drink after 5pm and try to get back to sleep when I wake up needing it, but I can't.

Any advice?

in a very private area..not sure what caused it..we have tried hydrocortizone creams, aloe vera and other creams to try and heal it. He's had it for about a week now..and instead of getting better it seems to have gotten worse. He's in a lot of pain from the rash. any suggestions on what to do, any other creams that will work better..any advice what so ever would be appreciated.

Only serious answers please.

my sister just got diagnosed, so we are trying to learn about it by asking questions, i love this site and it was helpful thus far...

1. she was told to get flu and pnemonia shots when they are available. why? obviously not to get these conditions, but what happens if she does and why is it so improtant to get these?

2. she works alot. she has been dragging since she cut out sugar. last night she had a little ice cream because... i guess she felt like it... but after that bite, she felt like she was on top of the world and could work all night. she had so much energy. if she is not supposed to have sugar, why would she feel so much better after having a bite of sugar???

thanks!

I have booked an appointment with a psychiatrist but i honestly do not think they will be able to help me in the slightest .

Do you know of anyone who has overcome this ?
