Health - 12 November 2007

So this weekend i ended up working out a lot more than i usually do. I'm sore everywhere but one of my elbows like pops when i move it from bent to straight. The muscles are sore around it but it's just a really random shooting pain for a few seconds. I know that's not good but does anyone know what it could be and if it might be serious enough to go get it looked at?

My friend passed away from stomach cancer. Here are just a few things I know he ate lots of:

1. Lots of red and white wine, I mean LOTS! He was a big wine lover;

2. Lots of cheeses;
3. He grew his own vegetables;
4. Lots of salami;
5. Lots of pastas;
6. Lots of pate;
7. He raised his own farm animals and would eat them > Chickens, turkeys, geese.

Anybody know if his diet had anything to do with it?

With age, I tend to become mentally exhausted fairly quickly. Even after reading a few pages of a book.

What can I do to boost this?

My son was complaining tonight about his knee itching. When I looked, I saw about 16 small bumps around his knee, most prominent on the side. They look like mini mosquito bites. Upon further inspection, I see that he has these bumps all over his body - some on his back, a few on his stomach, some on his chest... Some are grouped, and some aren't. What could it be? My first thought was flea bites, but I can't find a single flea in the house. Any ideas?

last october i was 5'5'' and 95lbs... just naturally skinny. it was always hard for me to gain weight.
i started to realized that as much as i loved being skinny... i hated it more. it was hard to find clothes that fit and i hated everyone telling me that i was anorexic and should go eat something.
so i got really serious about gaining weight. i decreased my exercise and started eating A LOT. i was still healthy i just ate a lot. currently i weigh 126lbs. im "thicker" than ive ever been in my life. sometimes it bothers me but for the most part i love food and my new curves!
should i continue gaining... (when i started this i told myself i wouldnt go over 140) or try to go back to a more normal food comsumption and stay at the weight im at

I just started taking loestrin 24, I take it perfectly. I was just wondering how many people have gotten pregnant using Loestrin 24 (taken perfectly or not dont matter). It seems like a fairly new BC plus it has the lowest hormones allowed so I just wanna know the effectiveness--and I wanna know from "real" people and their experiences, and not from the comanys studies, because alot of clinical studies are done with alot of bias in them.

The Real Me

To you, I am a friend,
a classmate,
someone you talk to.
You know a little
about my past.
But you still do not
know the real me.
The real me
hurts all the time.
The real me is afraid
of what tomorrow may bring.
The real me is suffering
because of mine
and others mistakes.
The real me is weak,
but I do not show it,
because I want to be strong.
The real me is losing faith.
The real me wants help,
but the person what I am
trying to be does not.
Who am I trying to be?
Someone who has no
worries or cares?
I am trying to be someone
who wants to fit in,
when the real me
wants to stand out.
The real me wants
to be different.

I want to know what you think, so I can make any corrections before I submit it to a local poetry contest. Please includ any gramatical mistakes if you happen to find any. Suggestions are greatly appresiated.

Thanks for your help,

I just enrolled in Massage school, and am overweight(over 200 lbs)
I am in the top 10% of class, and I give one of the best massages the instructors have ever gotten. I am losing weight, by walking, but will not be at goal by graduation in May 08.
Would you hire me, despite the weight?

My primary doc gave me a lecture today
about why it is so important to have an annual pap and mamogram.

I get the mammograms, it's the internal exams which I dread.

A few years ago I had an overwhelming infection and was in the hospital. This really old gynechologist said to me "God, you are so damned fat, I can't even feel your ovaries". That was it. I was humiliated.
I have gone three times since then and told the doc. "I truly hate being here, and let's get this done as quickly as possible." I explained to him what had happened and he was understanding. Ok, this doc has retired and I have to start all over again.

My appointment is in two weeks and I am already worrying about it. Should I explain to this new doc. the previous experience that I had has made be phobic going to a gynechologist?

Tried female doc once---that was just creepy.

Any suggestions? I have medication that I take only for severe anxiety, should I take that prior to going?

I missed my last period. Actually if I got it on time I would still be on it. Anyhow, does anyone else experience missed periods while on venlafaxine. I'm taking 75mg daily, and have been for almost two months now.
It's unlikely that I'm pregnant, the last time I had sex was a month ago. But it could happen.
I haven't found missed periods as a side effect of venlafaxine on sites I've checked.
