Health - 27 November 2007

this is a serious question. i have had this terrible cough for a month that turned into a terrible cold/the flu. i have been taking over the counter meds but have avoided going to the doctor because i don't have a primary doctor which means i would have to go the emergency room and that will take all day. through the thanksgiving holiday, i was bed-ridden and when i returned to work on monday, i had to get out of my seat every 5 minutes because i can't control my leaking faucet of a nose. i don't want to be nasty and blow my nose at my desk like some people but it becomes a problem when poeple are accussing me of not working when i am doing this. how can i control my snot from falling out of my nose so frequently? i have been blowing it so much, that it is bleading and when i try to hold it in so i won't have to get up from my desk so often, i can't because it is coming out faster then i can hold it back. i am suffering here. serious, serious, serious responses only.

My grandfather was diagnosed with lymphoma and given 2 months to live in May. Thankfully, he is still with us and doing quite well. He is wheelchair bound and homebound (except doctor appointments) and is very tired (naps throughout the day). His mind is VERY strong. He lives at home with his very well bodied wife and daughter/son-in-law. I am looking for ideas of a Christmas gift I can get him to keep his mind strong and to keep him going. I would appreciate anyone's insights on things that have worked in the past as good gifts for someone in an end stage disease process. I appreciate your thoughts in advance!

I have given up all drugs including Hard drugs and Marijuana, but the most difficult to quit has been Alcohol. So if its more difficult to quit, why isnt it a drug? Is Tea and Coffee and Tobacco drugs?

Sleep 11-6 am. 7 & 10 am-bread with peanut butter. 11 am-cycle/jog for 20 min (everyday except weekend. sometimes when I missed one day of exercise, I'd make it up the next day by exercising for 40 min). 2 pm-rice&egg&fish/chicken/meat with 1/4 of the plate filled with vegetables. 5 pm-plain bread. 3 litres of water a day. no other sort of training.

i tried everything. I was working out 4-5 days a week, with very healthy food except for 1 or 2 days of whatever I liked. I did cardio 5 days, weight training 3 days and Pilates 1 or 2 days. Now what else I could have done to reach my target?? i am thinking to change my approach and start running from today. Can you please tell me how good is running 5 days a week. Am I going to lose my bust by doing so? How efficiet is running and what precautions should I take. ia m thinking to run on treadmill. I was spinning, swimmming and doing step class before. Please help!!!

is it just me or is it scary that so many women and girls dont know how their own bodies work. do the schools not offer health anymore. how can you be a woman and not know how your period works. or when its due even. how pregnancy can and cant happen. and what birth control and condoms are and how to use them. ladies this is your body you should know how it works why certain things happen when certain things are due to happen. there is no excuse to not understand your own sexual health before ever having sex. it scares me to see soo many questions from women in most cases
can i get pregnant if i had sex on my period or while in a pool or hot tub. yes you can if the penis goes in you can get pregnant

or am i pregnant i had sex on saturday when can i test
or am i pregnant i had sex saturday started my period monday

this scares me that women dont know or understand how their own bodies work. the info is out there, if you dont know how pregnancy can occur keep your legs closed.

Why do our muscles ache when we are ill? Is it caused by the same lactic acid that causes our muscles to ache after we have done exercise?

For the past 2 or 3 mornings I have woken up fine, then after about an hour I'll get a sharp pain in my lower abdoman, right in the middle of my stomach (Like a diahrrea pain) then I will go to the bathroom and go #2, the whole I'm doing this the bowel is like diahrrea and my stomach is hurting the whole time. (There are no other real symptoms)

I also noticed yesterday that my nipples were sore, and I am having unprotected sex with my bf of 3 years..

Has anyone ever had anything similar? I looked up Ectopic Pregnancies and it said abdoman pain...
Thanks.

I've heard that chewing gum improves your memory. If you are sitting an exam, will chewing it 20 hours before the exam make any difference as opposed to chewing 2 hours before the exam? Is there a minimum amount of chewing gum you need to take to improve your memory?

i need me some joint support for the overuse of my joints (knees and lower back) from biking and weight training.
so have you tried them and are they worth the investment?

I definitely do not eat well. My diet consists mainly of carbohydrates. I love pasta, potatoes, and bread. I'm 21, 5'0", and I weigh 102 lbs. However, I know that my diet is not balanced, and I can feel its affects on my body. Most of the time, I feel tired. On top of it, I often feel light-headed. Could this have anything to do with my diet? If so, what could I eat to improve this? Thanks so much guys!

I was like, 2 or 3 weeks past due my period, so I was getting worried maybe I was prego... my chest had been growning noticibly and sour too. I had take like, 5 prego test and they were all negitive, but i still was worried...
But yesterday, I finally got my "friend" is what I've always called it...
I got crapping really bad, everywhere, in my stomach all the way down to my feet. I went to the bathroom and started bleeding pretty heavly...
I noticed a hugh clump of something I've never seen before...it was little bloodly but more whitish and clear. It was like 3 inches long and like 1 wide...
after that happened all my crappin was gone.
Was it justs build up from bein late..or maybe a really early
miscarriage, which is not what I'm thinking but who really knows? I dont have anyone to talk to about this, so please be serious....thank you.
