Health - 30 November 2007

So i've lost 13 (28.6 lbs) kilograms in 2 1/2 months. i've gone from 67kgs (147.4 lbs) to 54kgs (118.8 lbs). do you think this is unhealthy or OK?
im just so sick of people saying how worried they are because i lost it all. i especially love (hate) mum and dad frequently and forlornly telling me "you got thin". well, duh.
i think it's just the case that noone is used to me being this weight before because i've always had that little extra baggage. yeh i look much slimmer but im not like movie star thin

How come no matter how I try ( not exaggerating here)
I always resort to staying up almost all night just staring at the wall thinking...if I'm not exhausted from the day before?
(I do yoga, meditation, don't drink coffee or sodas)
I am a very relaxed and happy person, what gives?

After researching stem cell treatments for congestive heart failure, I finally found the one medical facility that performs fetal stem cell therepy without general anesthesia, which would be too dangerous for her. The only catch is that she would have to fly to the Dominican Repubic to get it. It would be a couple hours to get to Florida, and a couple more on the next flight to the Dominican Republic, and then the treatment facility is only 10 minutes away by cab. She's 73 and has had this disease for around 6 years. She can still go to the store, out to dinner, or other short excursions, but anything longer or more strenous requires a wheelchair, so she doesnt get out much. This is the best chance we've found to give her her life back, and I would hate to see it go down the drain just because of the flight.

Hi everyone, in the last few months I have had small fluid filled blisters appearing on the palms of my hands and sides of my fingers. At first I thought it could be washing up liquid causing them but after wearing rubber gloves constantly I still have them in fact there are more of them.
I am wondering if anyone here can firstly recommend a good cream to help this condition and second if anyone knows if there are protective gloves available that are rubber free??? I need heavy duty gloves because I do a lot of washing up with hot water.
Thanks to any one who answers.

I had my youngest daughter in May via c-section. AT the same time, I also had my tubes tied. Before then, even after having my three boys via section, I always got back on track with my periods within 2-3 months. Never skipped one. Now, my daughter is 61/2 months, but I am no where near normal. My periods come and go ...sometimes one day, sometimes for two weeks and I didn't even have one in November at all. I know this a little TMI and I will be discussing this with my doctor when I go for a Well Woman Checkup the middle of this month, but I was just wondering if anyone else had this experience or might know why I am?

Yup, it seems every night it will take me over 2 hours to get to sleep.
And once I do, the slightest noise wakes me.
Then in the morning, I am so tired.
Is there anyway to help you sleep

The depression has become so crippling I think I'm despondent. It took me five minutes to type that sentence. I really tried to get help; I went to a psychiatrist and told her everything. Know what that got me? Court commitment to a mental institution for a week on suicide watch and a $3,000 hospital bill with no health insurance. Part of my depression being money problems, I find the entire situation ironic. I got NOTHING out of it. And, I'm angry, but there's not a whole lot I can do about it. I don't think I'll ever go to anyone for help again, though. Not in the 'real' world. That's why I'm writing here.

I'm worried about myself. If at all possible, I'd love to just shake this haze off and get on with my life, but it seems the more 'treatment' I get the worse I feel. The suicidal thoughts have become more frequent again, but I currently don't have the energy to do anything about it. I've already 'gotten' help! How am I supposed to change, when I don't help myself?

My period is all over the place at the moment because its only my first year. I have to go to a pool party tomorrow and i still have my period. Its slowing down, but if you still have it and its light can you swim without a tampon or pad? My mum wont let me use tampons because she didnt when she was my age *sigh* but anyways, should i be safe?

Im asking this because everyone will be swimming and ill be left out sitting and watching, oh and btw its an above ground pool.


should i swim? will it go everywhere? will it drip all over my legs when i get out of the pool?

...until you preferred the "view" with your glasses vs without.

Background: first got glasses at age 35 for astigmatism - wore them religiously for 3 ish years (one RX change half way through there). Now, have been doing without for 1.5 years, just got new glasses today, and think I am suffering the effects of my eyes having compensated for their short-comings for the last year and a half.....and now struggling to "uncompensate" since I now have glasses....

Does anybody out there understand what I am saying??
Thanks - later!

I was rear ended by someone at high speed on the freeway a week ago. I was pushed so hard that my car rolled over. I was wearing my seat belt and was lucky to be able to walk away.

My car is totaled and my insurance payoff maybe less then what is owed. Finance company is saying I have to pay the difference.

Police report hasen't been completed yet so am anxious on the findings.

Doctors did look at me, told me i may have some pain in the next few weeks. Instructed to come back to see them if so. My back is starting to ache almost everyday since, been chewing down vicodin, cant sleep and am getting depressed.

Will the insurance company fight for me or do i need an attorney? I cant afford to pay the difference if im upside down on my car. What about my back? I need advice bad.

I recently started taking Yaz birth control on Nov.5 (the Monday after my period). I have been taking my pills religously everyday on the dot, my boyfriend and I have been using condoms as another backup method also. I started my sugar pills Thursday Nov.29, and had light light spotting that night. On Friday the 30th (2nd day of sugar pill) I had more darker spotting and ended up having sex. We used a condom it ended up breaking, he did not *** but I think he might have had a little precum. I was just wondering if there is anyway I can be pregnant, seeing as I haven't been on the pill a full month yet and the precum. Thank you.

I have size 34 G breasts (that's a 34 DDDD). Every night when I take off my bra, it's physically painful and my breasts are extremely sore. I am thinking about getting a breast reduction in about 2 or 3 years because I have back pain and it's just impossible for me to have breasts this big, but I am wondering, do any of you experience the same extreme pain I do when you take off your bras? I'm wondering if this is normal.

I have way too much anger within me that can't seem to be released, and I try to release on a daily basis. I'm isolated and many many other bad things. I'm surrounded by everything I hate, and no matter how hard I try to escape and be happy, It seems like the universe itself is holding me back from everything I want. 96 percent of the people I know I can't stand. I'm virtually all alone and only run into people I don't like.
Is it possible for me to be happy?
