I am thinking of changing my diet, due to weight problems, and am wondering about venison as a substitute for beef. Isn't it much leaner? Also, is all the hype about red meat being bad just because of the fat content (if not what is a good/good-tasting source of protien)?

The doctor said I'm fine and the CAT scan came back without any issues. But I still have blurry vision that didn't start until after I started wearing the new glasses. So could the wrong eyeglass prescription cause serious damage to my eyesight?

Hello,
I had vertigo about a week ago. My doctor prescribed me Antivert which is a meclizine prescription. It had been getting better over about three days but then It acted up again. It wasn't nearly as bad as before but it was worse than the other days. This morning I had trouble sleeping and have been feeling somewhat nausious and a little dizzy again. My questions are about how long will the vertigo symptoms last? and How long should I wait before calling my doctor?
I have other symptoms too and you can comment on them if you feel it will help : Ringing in my ears and slight flashing in my eyes but only once for about a second.

Thank you for any replies,

Eric

,,,in my case, they created one. The drill the dentist was using was malfuncioning,,they went and got another. I think maybe I have cause for a malpractice case against the dentist who did the work,,,,I underwent FAR too much drilling which put far too much trauma on the nerve,,thus,,a problem exsists for me.
Today I go in ,,,how should I conduct myself,,,

i am 21 and i married 2 years ago, i made it a point to remain a virgin until i was married, it wasnt easy sometimes but i was able to control myself from doing mistakes with men who i knew would never end up being the one for me , but were just a boyfriend or friend. but i have noticed especially in my relatives noone really cares anymore. i was the only one who waited until marriage amoung my 10 cousins. none of them waited , all had kids before marriage too. i listened to their stories and one of my cousins is married and still sleeps around alot like it is nothing. i just dont understand what she gets out of it. because she doesnt know anything about most of them . i understand if you are in love like fiance and planning marriage , but just random dudes i dont get it. please if anyone is still a virgin what are your reasons for staying that way? and if not why did you choose to have sex before marriage? how many have you been with? are there any that you really didnt know ?

Whenever I look at a man, and really fancy him, I get a sort of fluttering in my tummy area.
Like butterfly wings just lightly patting my insides...
Is that normal?

I love to walk but I am not use to the treadmill or stationary bike...A few weight machines and this other machine you put your feet into these holders ...it looks like you can go skiing.... I really don't know how to work them....They are the only options I have right now.

HI - I have a part on the left side of my head. Apparently a females hair is parted on the right side usually I was told. Is that true? Also, without getting into occultish practice, does a part and the way hair falls, curls etc. relate to anything else?
While I'm on the subject of hair - why do some people go grey early (e.g. in 20's)? Does hair analysis really give a true measurement of heavy metals which affect our health and, if so, which section should it be cut from to get the most accurate result?

don't make jokes, this is a serious medical problem i'm having! I have VERY itchy palms and wrists....I discovered recently that a rash on the opposite side of my elbow (inside the arm) may be eczema....now I have been having the itchy palms, wrists, hands for about 2 days now. there's also a burning sensation and prickly feeling. I don't have health insurance. I heard that this could be signs of liver damage. anyone know what these things could be?

PS - can you put hydrocortizone cream on eczema?
