Health - 29 October 2007

Is it possible that having an eating disorder and not getting enough nutrients (even if i am just recovering from one) suggests that you are at more risk for diabetes?

I got told i had athsma from my doctors without them caring about anything else. Some symptoms I am having are -

1. Breathlessness.
2. Increased hunger.
3. head which feels like air is being pumped into it, prevents me from sleeping much.
3. Sugar can bring it on/ help symptoms.
4. I have noticed when I am at college from 7am - 5pm I only ever need the toilet twice. Once I'm home it's 4 times in the space of 5 hours.
5. Feel weak.
6. Increased tiredness.
7. Pain in my left-side of chest on the bone bit.

There are more, but these ones happen often. Should I go back to the doctors and explain my inhaler doesnt work, makes me feel worse, and wont help these symptoms, or should I just keep quiet?

I just started taking Yaz. I'm looking at my pack right now and once I take a pink pill tonight I'll be 7 away from my white. This is my first Yaz pack ever. I switched from Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo due to breaking out all over my chin area. I haven't started my period, but I've noticed that a week into taking Yaz and up until this very moment I've been getting cramps. They aren't dreadful but cramps in general are just annoying esp if you aren't even on your period yet. Is this normal? Maybe my body getting used to it? Anyone else have this expierence and is this really a better pill?


Thanks!

Oh, and I'm a Day 1 Starter.

I'm 5'0 and 96 lbs, but my legs look really fat! I don't want to wear small shirts that rest on my jeans because my lower body looks very disproportionate, and it doesn't help that I'm so short. I try running but they don't make my legs any thinner--only more toned. =( Can you guys help? My diet is already very healthy because of the types of food my family cooks.

Okay, I had tonsillitis about 3 weeks ago. I didnt finish off my doctors prescription and it came back 4 days after i got rid of it which was like 2 weeks ago. Then i found that unrinating kinda feels uncomfortable so i went to see the doctor again and he said i got urine infection so he gave me some medicine, then one night my left testicle was so painful and swelled up pretty bad, i couldnt sleep that night or walk. So i went to see the doctor again and he said the bacteria spreaded over to my testicle. He gave me some stronger medicine and told me the it'll 3-4weeks to lose the swelling.

right now my testicle is at normal size, no more swelling and no more pain. No pain wen i urinate. But wen i masturbated on wednesday my sperm was runny and it was yellow. I was freaked out and i still am.

Can someone tell me what the problem is? I dont want to tell my doctor i masturbate. Will the runny yellow sperm go away? Im really scared.

Bear has constantly been getting up and started limping, but after walking on it for a few minutes, he's back to normal. Lately, he won't respond to his name, and is is too much pain to lay down. My dad refuses to take him to the vet cus suposedly "he's just fine". Does he have a serious problem that for sure needs to be taken care of by a professional?

I never seem to be in a deep sleep at night. It takes forever to fall asleep and I feel like Im only half asleep. I wake up over anything. Get up several times in the night. Some nights I can't get to sleep at all. Tossing and turning and restless. The next day I am so tired at work that all I want to do is go back to sleep. I tried an OTC sleep aid and it worked one night, the best night of sleep i've ever had, and hasn't worked since then. Is there something wrong with me or something I can try.
I exercise, take vitamins, eat well, dont have caffine later in the day.

My oldest brother just had hip replacement surgery & I was having a debate with my 2nd oldest brother on why there is so much of this surgery being done these days. I know there is the obvious injuries, but my personal opinion is if you are basing it on just general wear & tear I figured in that people who had very active sex lives would wear their hips out faster. But I would like to hear your reasons on why you think this is such a common surgery.

It feels as if I had the surgery two weeks ago. I can't make a 90 degree angle with my arm unless I use my opposite hand to pick my arm up. Can anyone offer any advice on (1) why this happened and (2) what I should do for the pain? Thank you.

In the past few weeks I have had a strange sensation in my neck. It occurs when I am anxious/hot and bothered. The feeling is near or under my ears, it is a tightening that does not stop for an hour or two. When it first starts I even start pulling my collar thinking the neck of my shirt is too tight. I guess having a turtleneck on would feel like what I'm describing. It scares me, almost feels like someone is choking me. Sometimes its worse if I talk in a stressful way, rushed. Any ideas?
