Health - 1 October 2007

I havent been able to exercise all my life because of a back condition and now I found out that it was all a BIG MISTAKE?
I am now very out of shape and everytime I exercise I feel like I'm going to faint! I always eat the right foods but, I need to know what sort of exercise to start off with?

I tried crunches but, it just left me with an upset stomach.
Please help :)

I have gotten headaches at least once a day every day since I was about 8 years old. I was diagnosed with migraines back then but there hasn't been any prescription that has worked for me. So I have been taking at least 600 mg of ibuprofen a day. (I'm 20 now). My regular doc told me to continue taking this much...I'm worried it will damage my liver pretty badly if I keep taking this much. I am going to the neurologist on Tuesday for these headaches but I don't know what/ if anything will come of it...I don't know this whole thing worries me. By the way I have had eye exams food allergy tests... etc.

Why can't people give(whole) blood more often then every 56 days- is it solely because of iron levels? That's easy to get up(just taking supplements) so I'm wondering if there's another reason.

I have been told to cut down on drinking caffiene (or even to eliminate it from my diet).

What I would like to know:

Has anyone else had this problem, or knows of someone who has, and what did you or they do to eliminate it?

How much caffiene does decaffinated coffee have?

Is there a website that can tell us how much caffiene is in the beverages that we drink?

What are the serious consequences from PVCs?

Thank you,
Pauley

So, I will ask the way she asked me, and I am quoting this, mind you. "Do tampons get old? Jolene takes birth control pills, so she doesn't have a period. And I don't think I will be starting anytime soon, and I counted six boxes of tampons under the sink. Do they expire if you don't use them??"
She won't be using them because she is a preggo.

I had an eating disorder for 8 years and got myself out of it when I was 22 years old. Then, three years later it came back and lasted for two more years. I have gotten myself out of it again, but all I can think about is exercising and food. What is strange is that this time I keep thinking about eating constantly--where as the previous time I would restrict my food. I know I need to gain weight and I have no problems with eating food, but I can't stop thinking about constantly working out. Will I always be like this or will I be able to find a balance between healthy eat and exercise? I am finally starting to deal with this issue & am seeing a psychologist, but it would be nice to hear from people who have recovered from anorexia. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

I recently had my period and had what I thought were just normal cramps. After it was over I noticed a little blood on the toilet paper from my stool. I ignored it at first but then it happened again today and I have had severe stomach cramps to the point of making me sick to my stomach but not throwing up. The blood is a bright red color and it doesnt seem to be helping when I eat to alleviate the stomach problem. Also the stool hurts when I go. Any thoughts on what this may be??

I am a health nut, but when it comes to Mexican food, well, therein lies my weakness. I am talking long term, are super spicy foods like that really not good? Please tell me if they aren't, i need to stop eating salsa for breakfast every morning if it is bad.

I don't really get how this whole thing works :P
So lets say I go on a diet and eat 1200 calories a day... I'll lost about a pound a week,right? How long will I continue to lose weight though? I mean, I won't keep losing forever until I weigh like, 60 pounds (not that I want to be 60 pounds, just to add that) How long should I expect to lose a pound a week for? When will it stop!? Sorry, I know I ask a lot of questions :P Please helpp! Well, if it helps,
I weight 125 pounds and i'm 5'6, thanks :) (L)

I have diagnosed MYSELF with depression. Its not a suicidal depression, its just like, sad and pessimistic all the time. i push most friends away and i just put on a happy smile so people assume everything is dandy with my life. i work 2 jobs and go to school to escape depression, and it works, but when i come home, i feel this sadness, dark cloud, feeling. theres no major problems at home either. i have had this feeling off and on for about 2 years now. i have always been against anti depressants but there just comes a point where im tried of fighting. i really dont want to see a dr unless i really have too. i dont like disclosing my personal information to people. i dont mind posting on here because i will never talk to any of you prob ever again...
