Health - 20 September 2007

Since I was a teenager I have been walking & been active. I am a little overweight now, but I have continued walking when I can. I have never had any trouble with my legs, feet, or anything. I used to feel like I could walk forever, it actually relieved stressed and made me feel good. I have decided that since my son started kindergarten, I am going to walk every morning to lose weight. The first day I walked 1 1/2 miles and felt good, but my legs cramped a little (in the calves area). The second day, within minutes of starting my walk, my calves starting tightening up so bad, I could barely walk. Then this morning, the same thing. Within 2 to 3 minutes of starting, my calves felt like they were tight & on fire. My legs felt so heavy. When I stopped, it relieved the pain, it was all I could do to make it to my car. I don't know what to do.I do stretches, I am hydrated, I have good walking shoes.....my Doctor just says take it slow. If I take it any slower I will be stopping.Any advice?

your blood is low in your kidneys ? What can happen? What can be done to fix it? How can your blood run low in one area of your body? My mother had a stroke 2 years ago, she had another stroke about 3 or 4 months ago, I know having a stroke can cause your kidneys to fail, but what does this mean? the doctor told her yesterday that she her blood is low in her kidneys.

to even get up and wash dishes or laundry and feed my cats. When my pets come up to me I don't want them around. My money is running out and I have been looking for work but feel very discouraged. I want to sleep a lot and feel very depressed. Can anyone give me advice. I think I am lazy but I usually am not like this. I feel so dragged down.

For a while now, I've felt very little confidence when speaking on the phone. Not so much when people call me, but when I call other people. I'm also not that confident when speaking to some people face to face. Any ideas on what I can do? I've seen loads of things that claim to help or even solve the problem but don't know which one to go for.

Supplements would be good, but not sure if they work for confidence levels, althought some claim to. Hypnotherapy comes across as being expensive.

I'm from a lower middle class family, and health care was nearly unmanagable for us growing up, so I only really visited the doctor for required shots, check ups and emergencies.

Now that I'm older and able to care for myself, I'm more health-conscious and want to have regular tests for cancer, diabetes, athsma, and the like. I want to make sure I'm healthy, because as far as I know, I could be living with some disease and not even know it.

I know many of these tests require special doctors, and I have no idea where to start. I don't want to walk into my family doctor's office and make a fool of myself because I don't know what I'm asking for. I want to test for everything. There's no such thing as a complete check-up that covers all diseases and illnesses, so I don't know what I should do.

Who should I go to? What are the most important things I should routinely check for? What are the names of some tests that are important? Please help. Any information would be appreciated.

My last cycle was 8/20/2007. I am on a 28 day cycle which means it should have come on sunday 9/16/07. however it hasn't and today is thrusday. On sunday when i went to the bathroom I saw a little dot of blood on the tissue. But that was the only time i saw a little dot of blood. Now there is absolutly nothing there. No spotting no nothing. I took two test one yesterday and one tuesday and they were negative. I'm really want to know now i can't go to my primary doctor because she goes by appoinment only and that could take up to two weeks when i would like to no sooner. I had sex on 9/1/07 and 9/7/07 damn i'm worried.
