Health - 10 October 2007

I have not had a bowel movement (pooped-hehe) in a day and a half. I ate really unhealthy stuff Sunday(hot dogs, italian beef with hot peppers and chicken wings) and suffered the consequences monday morning and spent a lot of time in the bathroom. Since then I've been eating really healthy, plenty of fiber, but I haven't had a bowel movement yet. Monday I had really intense cramps in my upper stomach, yesterday and now today the cramps are decreasing and descending to my lower stomach. Now the fact that I haven't had a bowel movement is starting to scare me. I am usually a very regular guy. Should I take a laxative? If so what kind? and what should I expect? I've never taken a laxative before but I'm just picturing the scene from "Dumb and Dumber" where Jeff Daniels gets slipped some Turbo-Lax and has diarrhea in his date's bathroom. I'm 23, so I'm not too worried about underlying issues at this point, I'll give it another day or 2 to go to the doctor

My urine doesn't have sugar in so i'm not diabetic.

Could there be any other reasons for it?
I'm drinking so much water, i'm bringing it back up and i'm still thirsty!
I'm having to put my life on hold so i can go home and sleep all the time.

I'm at my wits end.

Another question--can a gun shot wound in the abdomen cause someone to go in a coma or to be unconscious for long, long periods of a time in a hospital? If not, where do you have to be shot where you have to be in a coma but can eventually get out of the hospital walking, talking and darn near back to normal again? (This is for a story i'm writing)

us with various mental illnesses.Could you imagine trusting an orthopedists to set fractures without looking at an x-ray or a cardiologist to diagnose you with a block of your main artery without looking at your angiogram, or ladies your gynecologist told you you had a yeast infection without looking. Probably NOT, so why don't we just take their word for it but we will take the word of a psychiatrists without ever even looking at the organ they are treating, our Brains.We each have unique fingerprints, dna's it only makes sense that our brains are also unique.Therefore our brains will react differently to different situations.ie injury, stress. So why do we as a society allow shrinks to diagnose us by just talking to us.Great strides have been made in new imaging techniques to examen our brains and why they work the way they do. So why do we soley take the word of a psych. on an evalution that is a hundred years old.Symptom clusters by asking questions.www.amenclinics.com check itOUT

My tonsils swelled up about 2 weeks ago. The doctor said it wasn't strep or mono. It went away after 4-5 days. Now its back again, but worse. I've had it for 3 days now and it plugs up my nose, extremely painful to swallow (it was like that last time), nad a clot of phlegm. Do you think I have tonsilitis? Also, I smoke cigarettes...would that be a cause? And in the past 2 months I have "messed around" with 6 girls and had sex with one not even a week ago.

Your only supposed to have 44 grams of sugar a day for a 2200 cal diet. This is ridiculous because even if I ate nothing but fresh peaches I would still go over the limit. Each peach has 9 grams of sugar. If I ate 6 peaches in a day and nothing else, thats already 54 grams of sugar.

Not to mention I would only be eating 240 cal per day. 6 peaches times 98 grams equals about a pounds and a half. A pound and a half of food per day?

How am i supposed to eat a healthy diet?

Estimated Per Capita Death Rates by Drugs


----------------------------------------------------------
Drug Users Deaths per Year Deaths per 100,000

Heroin 500,000 400 (c) 80 (400)

I Mean there are more death by smoking and alcohol than heroine and they have named heroine a class A drug but if smoking isn't as bad but killing more of us why sell it to us, i no its expencive and have to be the age of 18 to buy but its rediculous, i mean im not in favour of heroine or anything but they might as well leagalise it

I just bought a meter to detect how much humidity is in my home. IT is at 55% and on the box it says it shouldn't be over 50%. What can i do to lower the humidity? Is a dehumidifer the only way? Should I start to worry about mold growing now?

But I heard that if you go too rehab that alot of times people try too push you too "God" to help you quit drinking. I'm not a very religoius person, and that won't help me. Can anybody out there give me some idea's? If it matters i'm in Canada.

I am thinking I am in a depression, but am not sure. I'm going to the Dr. Thursday, but want to know what some of you think before going in there like a crazy lady.
Here recently, for the past couple of months, I have been getting mad at the drop of a dime and like totally flipping out on my husband. I get mad easily at my two boys, 3 and 6, who have both recently been diagnosed with ADHD. I even went as far as almost throwing something at my husband. I can't stay focused on anything, like work or cleaning the house. I have no motivation to do anything, even playing with my kids. I used to scrapbook and now I don't even want to do that. I sleep at night, but it's not restfull. I am constantly getting headaches. And I have absolutely no sex drive! Please give me your opinions!

Hi, I've been trying to lower my blood pressure, I'm only 23 and have high blood pressure, im not obese, I weight about 168-170 and im about 5'8.5" About 3 years ago I weighed about 125, then when I met my girlfriend and started staying at her house, I gained the 35lbs or so rather quickly. I read online that Magnesium, Potassium, and Calcium help lower blood pressure. I got some vitamins, and some magnesium pills. Theres not a lot of potassium or calcium in the vitamins though, I figured I get enough calcium, and planned to eat more foods with potassium. But after reading some of the foods that are high in potassium, I may get enough of that too, I drink quite a bit of orange and apple juice, and eat a lot of potatoes.

What else can I do to try to lower it? My grandpa died at a rather young age from a heart attack, and I would like to avoid that from happening to me. Thanks
