Health - 1 November 2007

Hi! I'm 17 and in July I started a diet which I thought was reasonably sensible but turns out it wasn't. I kept fainting towards the end of August and was told it was because of my diet. So I started eating more and different things and since then I just can't get back on a sensible diet. It seems like it's got to be all or nothing. If I know i'm more flexible with food I just eat loads and of the wrong type of thing. Any tips on how to fix this please?

My dentist is a crook. I just moved back home from out of state and had to get a new dentist. My whole family has been going to the same guy for a year. My mom said this is the only dentist she has EVER gone over her max for in her entire life. I went to him anyways.

I just got done with my appointment. He says I have 8 cavities. I'm no dentist, but this is BS. I've never had a cavity in my life. I had my last checkup a year ago and didn't have one cavity.

Bottom line, this guy is a crook and I want to go to someone else. But, if I do, how will my new dentist be able to determine anything? Will I have to pay out of my pocket for new xrays/etc. if I switch?

I was walking home from school today, and i passed under a tree. And then, out of the blue, i got this weird, cold, tingly feeling in my lower abdomen/chest and thighs. And i checked, nothing wet had hit me, and no wind was blowing. I was just curious of what this sensation was, or if it is a symptom of something.

first of all, too many stuff i do
you'll get bored, but please read all through
i used to wash my hands a lot and check the heater and lights before bed, but now i don't have these
it seems like i have a chain that im going through
if a get rid of something something new or something i thought about comes back
so basically i have to have something in my mind, which bothers me
there's 2 minds inside me that oppose each other
one tries to embarrass and make bad situation or thought(ocd) and the other one doesn't want that to happen(me)
i can't exaggerate because it's not true
everything has to be exact and no lying
i can't hide anything, which makes me distressed because i don't want to tell
so i can never lie and feel ok
i also think about the good things that i have done repeatedly
if i don't think about it and resolve these in my mind, i can't do anything
this affects my acts in everything and i feel that i have to be able to do everything and the results should be good

At this rate, is there anything clean and safe to eat anymore? E. coli is much worse than salmonella, since it is found in "feces", while salmonella bacteria can be quickly killed at high temperature!

I am about to start using Accutane, however I cannot seem to find out how much it is going to cost me?? I dont have health insurance and since I have to go through the initial steps of treatment before begining the actual medication I dont have a prescription to get an estimate from the pharamices. Can someone who is currently taking it shed some light on the approximate cost?! Thanks!

She is 30. From what I understand it is very rare. They are not giving her much more information than what I have already told you here. My question is how deadly is this? I am finding conflicting information. It is a mass on the outside of her esopogus. They gave her no information in the form of what stage it is in. They just said it was high grade. Can someone tell me something more about this kind of cancer?

29 Years Old
Was 350+ pounds dropped 120 of that 4 years ago w/ diet and exercise.
~1 year noticed decreased ability at gym.
~6 months ago, began havin trouble breathing, in general.
No history of asthma. No swelling of limbs. Can still last 30 minutes on a stairclimber. Resting Heart rate of 55-65. No heart murmurs/arrythmias. I have constantly draining sinuses. Blood work is fine, Xrays look OK, uranalysis is fine as well. Some slight wheezing, but rare. I dont smoke.

I have GERD (under control w/ meds) and began having slightly high blood pressure shortly before the breathing issues began. This is also under control, even under stress BP never goes above 140/80. I work a desk job, and I eat healthy.

I just cant seem to pin-point anything, the doctor has said maybe asthma, but it doesnt fit with the symptoms. If it were heart failure I would have swelling, increase in breathlessness when laying down and higher pulse. Asthma, COPD, there would be wheezing. I have good breath sounds

I ate about 500 colories today from morning to lunch then i had about 300 calories from candy. Instead of having 800 calories from breakfast to lunch. Is this bad?

I haven't had dental insurance in ten years and am a self supporting graduate student. I'm going into the dentist today because I have a cavity that has caused about 1/4 of my tooth to chip off. It doesn't hurt to eat or anything so I don't think its gotten down into the root. Do you think the dentist can just fill this? Its my lower right premolar. I really don't have the money for a crown....

What is more important to you? Being able to eat whatever you want or being thin and attractive? If you could choose to be always be moderately overweight but eat anything you want or to be the perfect thin weight but have to always exercise and diet, what would you choose?
