Health - 4 December 2007

First off, Ive always been a picky eater and when i was younger my parents would feed me anything just to get some food in my system. Until 10th grade I had a very fast metabolism and still sort of do. Ive had a very good body and remain on the thinner side of a healthy weight fairly naturally.

I have had a problem for most of my life where I am oddly obssessed with food. I can remeber at least as far back as fifth grade having this. My problem is I am obssessed with food. When we would plan to go to the movies on a road trip or the amusment park I always get more excited thinking about that food I am going to eat. From 6th grade to highschool I could eat obsurd amounts of food. I could eat two large bags of popcorn from the movies, all by my 80 pound 5'3 self. I get anxious when we order food if i am going to get enough. I am not obese in the slightest, I just always associate food with everything.
Is there a condition for food obssession?

so you're masterbating and then you look around for a paper towell to keep yourself clean and you grab one.

unfortunately this ain't no charmin ultra-soft and you tear up your penis.

i've done it several times where my penis stings when i shower because of all the scratches.

basically, my question is, am i alone?

For the last 2 months the front of my calves have been quite itchy. It would be an on/off thing. but in the last few days, they've been non stop itchy, where I want to scratch them continuously, to the point where they are raw and start burning, then when the burning stops, they become itchy again.

My bf suggests I might be allergic to the fabric soap we use. But I dont understand why it would effect my skin there, where fabric barely touches, as opposed to more sensitive areas. My pharmacist suggested I was allergic to the water here (since I moved 2 months ago), and that I just had to get used to the water. But its getting worse, not better.

I've been using Aveeno anti-itch lotion, which did help before, but now its not doing anything.

I'm going to the walk in clinic tomorrow hopefully, any suggestions that I could bring up with him?

Is it possible that its related to a psychological condition, since I do suffer from depression and it has been getting worse.

Do crash diets help? and if they do, how long does it take to really see some change in your weight? Is there any crash diet you can do for 7-10 days, that will help you loose about 5 pounds?

i got 134 or 136 and i doubt the accuracy, but i have a control
2 smart people i know took the same test as me and they got 144 and 141, i think that they should have gotten higher, so i doubt the accuracy
i got 134 on that one and i know that im not smarter than them
i've been hearing that online ones are not at all accurate, so is there any chance that it's reliable at all
what percentage of accuracy?

Hello again, Im just updating my previous question which was how to cope with my fathers illness. It is terminal, and what I want is your opinion. Since watching and being by his side from diagnosis it has thrown me out in terms of confidence, for example I cant focus, my job seems to be a up hill battle hence the apprentiship. I would love to finish, and Im so hopless, make mistakes all the tmie etc, so it seems almost like im chasing something that will never seem to arrive? It sounds silly I know but it seems like that now, and what I find most is that the enviroment is so negative, hence taking all the crap, I take it all, but I honestly cant see my life being any harder than what im going through right now! Help me cope..........

Earlier this year I went out for a meal and was violently ill all night after eating a dodgy mussel; it was the only thing that I ate and my friends didn't- none of them became ill. Recently I ate koni-koni (an abalone type mollusc) and became ill again although a number of other people also ate it this time. Have I developed a sensitivity to shellfish? Is this likely to be a life-long problem or will it pass? Should I keep trying shellfish to build up a ‘tolerance’ or will my reactions keep getting worse?

I love mussels, scallops etc and can’t imagine a life without eating them!

I know this sounds gross and no I have not done it...I swear!
But my grandmothers boss at the time told her that her own pee can cure acne. Also I read from other countries like Ireland and India its being practice but not openly so.

But they say your pee can cure fungus of your toe nails,pain,and possible can cure cancer.

But has anyone tried pee as a cure and does it really work for most things?
