Health - 5 December 2007

I feel very tired a lot, and never seem to have any energy even though I get 8 hours sleep every night.
Today was particularly bad - for the first time in years I had something sweet with my lunch because I was really hungry. I ate a toffee apple muffin (crazy flavour, I think they were left over from halloween) and soon after felt so tired I could have just slept. (Though I don't know if this is linked to eating more than usual).
As I said, I've always been lothargic, but today was awful.

I was tested for diabetes a few years ago, so I don't have that, though my Dad wants me to go to the doctor's for a blood test, because my mother has anaemia and he thinks I might have because I get out of breath and dizzy just going up the stairs.

What do you think? I don't want a lot of hassle, and I hate things like blood tests ... but I do wish I had more energy.

Advice, anyone? :)

Question Details: This has been happening to me for quite some time (i've been to a sleep study and haven't gotten the results yet) it happens atleast once every night, but usually 3-4 times a night. I had an episode this morning when falling to sleep and it seemed to last longer than usual and I heard a buzzing/electric sound in my ears, I thought my brain was shutting down and I was dying... anyway, why is it happening so much?? I get plenty of sleep and it still happens!

My husband and I started the South beach diet about 1 week ago. The only reason why iam doing the diet is for support .He needs to loose about 25 pounds and I have already met my desire weight lost which was only 5 pounds .Ive been cheating the diet behind his back to maintain my weight (I really dont want to become a stick person) lol . And yesterday he found my hidden stash of goodies , he joked about about it and teased me . But now he wants to ditch the diet , and start going back to his old habits. He said its not fair , how can I encourage him to stay on it ... hes lost 4 pounds already...And his serving portions are pretty big and he enjoys them , but its the sweets that are his weaknesses ?

If the person was a social black-n-mild (cigar) smoker who smoked from age 17 til 24? She only smoked when she was driving or socially drinking, let's just say 1 a day; maybe 3 or 4 on the week-end.

One highly qualified man said that we all hallucinate. Hallucination is a normal phenomena in a normal person. Before I could ask how, he smiled and drove away.

I've been researching, and I have a question: if you get the kind of unfixable blurred vision from optic nerve damage or burst blood vessels within eyes, can it makes you more near sighted or will it make your vision blurier in general, close or far? I was diagnosed a month or two ago with 20/40 vision in my left eye and 20/80 in my right. If I put my hands right in front of my fave or look at the keyboard I type on, its clear. If I look at something farther away, its very blurry in my right eye.

A month ago I started on adderall and developed a minor eye infection of some sort that gave me eye boogers all day and made me constantly blink. I still blink a lot and HARD as a compulsion. I'm not sure if my vision is damaged from popped blood vessels from blinking hard or if its in my head. Can that make you more near-sighted?

Also, my blood pressure is still low despite the medicine but I don't know about my eye-pressure.

And yes, I'm making an appointment to see an ophthalmologist instead of just a glasses doctor. Thank you so much if you can answer.

I have tried everything... I've been dieting my whole life. I'm so unhappy with the way that I look. I've tried diet and excercise, I've tried atkinson, I've even gone to a dietician who gave me weight lose prescription pills. I'm not that overweight, just about 30 pounds... but I've GOT to get it off!!! Please help me!!! DO NOT tell me diet and excercise because that's already on the list that I've tried. Is there an over-the-counter appetite supressant? Is there a diet plan out there that actually works? Please help... I'm miserable and tired of being overweight! I'm getting married next december and I need to get into shape NOW!

I'm a fairly serious weightlifter and all I want for christmas is that veign that runs the length of my bicep to be more visible. (jk I know it will take longer than that)

Does it appear with a larger/stronger bicep or is it just a matter of your body fat % that lets these show through?

Is it a proportion of both, if so what ratio do you think it is?

So, early this morning I began having a really vivid dream about the end of the world. In my dream, I began feeling like I could do whatever I wanted and act as foolishly as I wanted because the end of the world meant I couldn't be held accountable for my actions. Then I woke up, went into the kitchen and felt EXTREMELY famished. I was speaking incoherently to my wife and kids and saying really bizarre things. I felt like I had no control over myself. I began to stuff myself with food and my wife began to panic a little about the way I was acting.

After a few minutes, I was able to regain a little composure and tested my blood sugar. After I had already eaten, my blood sugar was 72 mg/dL...

It was like I was having a bad dream because of a low blood sugar reaction....

Have other diabetics experienced this?

I have a high pitched tinnitus that I've been told is a result of nerve damage. (Where I got the nerve damage no one knows because I've had this since I was a kid and I've never been around loud noises that I know of.) Anyway, I'm wondering, since we lose our hearing, especially in the upper ranges, as we age, is it possible for me to go deaf enough not to have tinnitus anymore? Or since it's nerve damage am I going to have this high pitched ringing forever? (I'm actually used to it and usually ignore it. So I'm just curious, not stressed about it.)

I had a bad cold over the weekend, and I think I'm almost over it, but my voice is not all the way back and it's obvious that I've been sick recently. Am I going to offend my dental hygenist by going to my appointment tomorrow with any remaining cold symptoms? Should I call today and cancel?

In general, how sick is to sick to inflict yourself on a dentist or hygenist?

I've noticed when traveling with her that it's hard to keep meals on a regular schedule and she always says, "I'm fine, let's go" and I know she needs to eat. I've even see her turn pale and go into the "falling sugar bizzare behavior" gig. Any prepared snacks or advice would be appreciated.
