Health - 10 October 2007

morning confirmed that. I only felt a little dizzy and weak when I woke up, but I had a few sips of orange juice and almost immediately, I began to have that nauseous puke feeling. It was bothering me so much, I stuck finger down my throat to make myself puke. Sorry, if this is disturbing. Anyway, that worked. I drank some water, and I know I should eat something. I haven't eaten since 9 last night. Am I just feeling this way because it's my body's currently messed up way of saying it needs food, or should I wait until it goes away to eat? Right now, just looking at a cereal bar makes me sick. Do I force myself to eat and drink and not wait for any feeling to kick in? Also, since this is the first hangover I've had, how long can this torture last?

My friend hit her head today at school..badly. She said she felt dizzy, was kinda nauseous, and has a severe headache. She went to the nurse who checked her eyes then gave her an icepack. 15 min later when we were in the tech lab i noticed soemthign severley wrong. She couldnt spell her own name, or the word seed!! She was having a lot of confusion too. Then she said all of a sudden she could see extremely WELL. She said her vision was perect, and she is nearsighted and has glasses. So i told her she had better see the doctor. She refused, because she was supposed to meet her dad after school and go get a flu shot at longs drugs, and she is COMPLETELY TERRIFIED of shots. She came to my house to avoid her dad, and is refusiing to tell them what happened. Could soemone please explain how serious this is to her? I triied to tell her it could be deadly, but she doesnt believe me!!

I'm 15 and the other day my dad told me that my grandad might have lung cancer but it isn't for deffiante!

i wasn't really affected at first jus shocked witht the news.

the next day i got a text of my step-dad saying i'm sorry to hear about your grandad and i was in the middle of class n i burst into tears.

we have a big family and it is often rare we spend time together however we still remain very close.

i'm still very upset about the situation.

Is it normal to react the same way that i did?

6:00 A.M.- Bowl of Frosted Flakes with 2% Milk

12:10 P.M. - Medium Blueberry Bagel, 10 Baby-Sized Carrots, 1/2 Orange, and 2 half pints of 2% Chocolate Milk, and .5 L of water.

(I drink water all day in place of all at-home beverages.)

I'm still deciding what to eat the rest of the day, since my Mother likes to not buy food when I ask.

Suggestions? Comments?

Please only answer if you are a man that had one, or if you are a women whom lived with a man that had one performed at the time you were with him. Anyone posting any immature nonsense about loosing my manhood will be reported.

I am scheduled to get a “traditional” vasectomy (cut and cauterize) on the 25th or this month. I am new in town, so my buddy (whom has already had one), and his girlfriend are coming out to stay the weekend with me. We will watch movies, BBQ, throw darts (if I am up to it), and drink beer(will I be able to drink, I forgot to ask the doctor about that).

He is giving me a ride to and from the clinic. I bought some jock straps, and a new jogging suit to wear for the first few days. I will have to wear regular work clothes on Monday, because I will be back at work.

We have plenty of movies to watch on my new TV. I won’t have to lift anything, because they will be here. I also have an ice pack!

Have I overlooked anything?

I have very sensitive eyes that are dry.....they are ALWAYS red so I have to use Visine every single day....I have done this for years.....I know that isn't good for my eyes and they are probably already building a tolerance for the stuff, but they are so red that I can't stop using it. What could be wrong? What would help that wouldn't cause damage to my eyes?

I am supposed to be having blood drawn for tests (diabetes and thyroid tests). It is supposed to be a fasting blood draw. The last time I had blood drawn I was 4 years old. I don't remember it well. How is the procedure done? Is it painful? How long does it last? Anything else I need to know? For some odd reason, I am apprehensive of having it done in the inside of the elbow and i don't know why.

I am trying to lose 10lbs through a fitness and healthy eating regime. Unfortunately I am quite unfit, and I find that walking very briskly is the best way for me to exercise without giving up due to tirednes. However, it is coming into winter and it gets dark here at about 6 o' clock, so it not really safe for me to walk at this time, also I am taking an important exam this year, so exercising in the house would be much easier to fit into my schedule.

My family has an exercise bike, and try to make an effort to use it, however unfortunately I find it extremely boring. I cannot do vigorous peddling for more than 20 secs without giving up. Can anybody give me some tips about what way to exercise on it, that is I would REALLY appreciate it if you could give me a detailed plan of how exactly to do it, e.g. 3 minutes at this many rpm followed by..The functions on my bike are rpm, speed , time and distance (doesn't say what unit used,I presume km as this is Ireland) Please help me!!!

For the last 2 weeks I've been sleeping for virutally 10 to 12 hrs a night. At first I thought it was because for a week my job was making me work the 3pm to 1:30am shift and my body had gotten so used to sleeping at 2am. but i thought I shifted it back to sleeping at 10pm wiht sleeping pills. What's going on? I have to force myself to get out of bed. On a typical day, my mom or my alarm clock wakes me up at 7am. I think I'll sleep for another 5 minutes. When I wake up it's 10 or 11 and I still want to sleep. This is the first time I've ever overslept. I went through high school and college and was able to survive on as little as 4 hours of sleep a night.

Can a person with albinism be a professional bowler or do the vision issues will prevent them from bowling?

Can a person with albinism have enough vision to have a driver's license? For how long would this person be able to drive before his/her eyes get too tired?

I'm looking for serious answers please. Preferably from a person with albinism, an ophthalmologist, optometrist, or a person who has dealt with albinism in an indirect manner.

Thank you very much,
