Health - 15 November 2007

I have had 2 c sections. One was 3 months ago. I hate the spinal shot in your back. It is so painful. and i hate the recovery because i can't even get my bed and have to sleep in a recliner. It hurts so bad. so, my question is have you have one? what kind of anethesia do they do? is it as bad as a c section? how long is the recovery time?

any info is helpful?

so it really only seems to happen during the winter or cooler months.

but every morning i wake up with this dryish-sore throat, and my nose is stuffy, and it feels like i have something in my lungs which gives me a slight cough.

i dont know if it doesnt happen in the summer/warmer months because i have my windows open or if it is because the air is generally drier in the winter/cooler months or what.

is there anything else that causes this? and any other fix?

People have been going health crazy these days, becoming vegetarians, eating only organic food.. but are there any evidence that these people live longer than the others who eat meat, and consume non-organic food? or are these people doing this in vain?
Are organic food a gimmick or do they actually make a difference? I have been around people who consume mostly organic food and around people who don't and these people's health are not that much different from each other at all. If anyone here knows of any study done about this, can you provide me with the links because I am very curious?

My husband was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure and I am looking for a home blood pressure monitor that is not only accurate, but easy to use. Hopefully one that isn't too expensive either, although I understand you get what you pay for. Does anyone have any experience with these or recommendations?

Hey all,

Last week i found something strange on my left testicle, near the top. It feels like a piece of thick skin-like string with a ball on the end.

I went to my GP and he checked me out and said everything was fine and that it was my seminiferous tubules. He said there was one on the right testicle but it was significantly smaller than the left one at the moment.

I was just wondering if anyone could explain what is actually happening with the seminiferous tubules, as i didn't get the chance to ask my GP and would like to know as i am studying Biology.

Thanks a lot

Why in the world would my body do that?? Is it because I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, or is it because I must have crap on my mind...or what?? they were really detailed long dreams and even when I hit my snooze as soon as I fell asleep a dream would start even if for just ten minutes! I could not!! wake up this morning....I feel so sick........ugh

i have been suffering for too long now, and I dont know what too do.
This past 2 years has been unbearable. Life is not getting better, no matter how hard I try.
I'm always alone. It's just me and my cat.
and Im tired of crying myself too sleep.

Everything began going down hill when I lost my grandma in 2005. She was like my mom, and actually made me feel loved.
I have so much regret, when i think back to the last few months before she passed away. I wish I would have made more effort too visit her or at least call her.
I think about all of this everyday.

I have tried to turn too god, but its not enough.
I feel like such a loser. I dont have a job, a diploma, absolutely no friends.. I just have nothing.
I feel so alone in the world.

I cant go out and make friends. Im a very introvert person and anyone around here, were I live is into the party/bar scene.

I cant talk to a counselor, because I am too uncomfortable opening up to anyone, let alone speaking.
