Health - 3 December 2007

Luck would just so have it that out of the 3 girls I live with only two of them wash their hands after using the loo. They are in their late 20's so they should know better It is starting to really gross me out and I don't know what to do. I also have the same problem in the school where I work as most of the female staff and the students do the same thing. Am I doomed to go around bleaching every surface until I move out next July?

I really want to start using birth control. My boyfriend uses condoms and we try to be safe, but I still worry. I've always hated doctors and a pelvic exam is out of the question. I understand the risks I'm taking but I just can't bring myself to do it. It took 2 years to even get comfortable to have sex, I am that shy. Will any doctors out there write prescriptions for birthcontrol without being touchy feely?

Does a law exist similar to nursing such as the maximum number of patients per nurse?

This question is strictly asking about retail pharmacy.

i've had 3 blood tests now and one was i cant remember, the second was 52 and the 3rd was 79 which is considered WAY TOO HIGH as the doc said it should be about 21.
I have no idea what these numbers mean but it seems with each blood test the results have fluctuated.
one of the docs said its all to do with the food i eat, what does this mean? oh she also asked me if i had been abroad refering to the food they have abroad i think.

Well my muscles seem fine so i didn't bruise or pull the pectoral. But I have this pain when i breathe (DEEP) inside my chest and it's not like other peoples. I feel very small cracks (kinda like cracking knuckles on a very very small scale) when i breathe deep and my heart beats. It's been going on for 5 days already and it doesn't hurt as much. Lower left (back) abdomen also makes sends when i go to touch my toes... weird but doesn't hurt or anything. Pee is kind of cloudy (maybe it was the coffee?) Mostly this is just annoying and I can do everything normally. Before i had a bruised or inflamed sternum and was kind of like now but more centered. Pretty sure no broken bones and it's not a heart problem (my left arm is fine...). Any idea? This just confuses and annoys me rather than worries me.
SORRY for the long paragraph detail but I figured it's better to be thorough to distinguish this from other arbitrary symptoms/injuries.

I have a big problem. I attract flies. These flies are very small, they look like gnats and fruit flies. They dont bite at all, but they fly around me all the time. Ive had this problem for 3 years now. I take showers daily, am clean. I feel like Ive been cursed. Ive seen a doctor, the doctor told me they are probably mosquitos ( but they are not )
Help me please.

how do you do proper squats? the ones that work out the butt and legs (thighs and calves)

i have been eating healthy for like - ever!

meaning i DONT have junk foods and stick to fruit/vege/yogurt/wholemeal bread/wholemeal cereals/chicken breasts/fruit and nut bars and no butter etc etc....

but recently i have been eating around every 1 1/2 hour (something like an apple, or 200gms of yogurt etc)

and i have noticed i have gained weight on my legs.

i'm 15-16 girl , around 175cms high and weigh around 47kgs.

i know i need to put on a little weight, but its all going to my legs!!

so now i'm not sure what to do, ((please DONT suggest excersise because that is NOT an option for me at this point in time.. honest.. i wont go into details please))

anyway i think i'm eating around 800-900 calories a day and i do very little excersise, but having this really flabby weight on my inner thighs is very very discouraging to try and gain weight. (meaning you can still see my ribs)

i drink a lot of water and lately i have been REALLY obsessed with eating this muesli...

Recently I went to the doctor and was told I have high blood pressure. She took a lot of blood and did various tests, and when the results came back, she said I am basically fine except for my HBP and that my liver seems to be producing too many enzymes. More blood tests over time have shown the same results.

Are there medical illnesses that can have the overproduction of liver enzymes as an early indication? My doctors are focusing only on the HBP and I can't get them to discuss the liver issue with me because it is not my "primary medical issue".

They tell me that my liver produces too many enzymes in an "Oh, by the way..." manner and leave it at that. I wish to know of any potential issues that could arrise with this symptom.

On a further note. I have also been diagnosed with gall stones and am scheduled to have my gall bladder removed. Don't know if that makes a difference, but figured I'd throw that in, just in case it does.

Well, I know that it's not normal. But I don't know if it's a disorder or not. She jumps up and sometimes screams when I just tap her on the shoulder. She gets scared easily by any loud noise. She even cried once when I scared her from behind. She's 14 and I know that this is not normal.

I was given local anaesthetic 2 days ago while the doctor stitched up my face... now part of my face is totally numb but this is no the part that was stitched up / anaestesised... that part I can feel again (above my eye) but my nose and part of my cheek are totally numb... a few days ago I was kicked in the face many times... is it numb because of the anaesthetic or because it is heavily bruised?

Also one of my eyes cannot open fully, I can see from it but it is heavily bloodshot(the part that is normally white is all red).. I am worried about internalt bleeding... some parts of my face hurt - others I cannot feel at all
