Health - 6 December 2007

It was a commercial on TV EARLY this morning. The claim was that these pads would remove toxins, somehow, from your body. My brain can't remember ANYTHING else about them! Anyone got any 411 on these things?

Ok, so it's about 12:00 noon. So far today I have eaten one whole grain wheat bagel, cocoa puffs, and a can of mandarin oranges. Is that too much for a thirteen year old girl to eat by 12:00 noon? And what should I eat for dinner in order to keep my daily calorie intake under 1600 calories? Please tell me, i need to know!

Hi, I just found out that after a sprain in my ankle, sprain in my big toe and fractured foot. That nearly 3 months after I hurt it, that now I have RSD.

Has anyone else ever had this before?
How long does it take to heal?
What is the longest it can take to get better?

I have it in my foot and my foot is swollen. The doctor is sending me to a therapist.

Has anyone ever had this before? Please tell me how long it takes to get better, etc.

What is the longest it can take?
Will it ever get better?
Is there anything in particular that I need to know about this?

Thank you.

I was thinking last night, do you think most people, the majority of the public just dont think about what they eat? all the people on here obviously do, as i do, but i see lots of people every day eating such CRAP that i wonder why some people are aware of healthy eating, and some people seem to ignore it, or are oblivious. for example, i was buying a bottle of water yesterday in the cafeteria at college and two overweight girls in front of me were buying cookies and huge slices of pizza for lunch, washing it down with regular coke. why would they do that when they look horrible being big?

I saw an infomercial on the above named book and can only seem to find where to buy in online. I can't buy it in stores and I also can't find any helpful reviews that aren't on the sight that is selling it. I don't want to buy a book I have really been able to get enough information on that isn't tainted by the sellers. Any suggestions?

I have been dealing with chronic pain for almost 6 years. I have a total of 5 cervical and lumbar disk herniations. I have become depressed and am limited in what I can do. I am also more anxious then ever due to this. My quality of life has deteriorated substantially and have lost my over 15 year factory job. I was wondering if anyone else is suffering. What happened? How long have you been hurting? Has it affected your physical and mental health? What kind of coping skills have you developed? Have you lost financially? I am just curious and would love to hear if anyone has techniques to cope with life this way.

I am a student nurse and at clinicals was told to clean a patient and chnage the bed. The bed was soiled with stool and blood, so I wore a yellow gown and double gloves. I had a cat scratch in my arm, so thats why I wore the gown. I didnt wear a mask or a face shield, since bllod wouldnt splash me in the face....later the nurse informed me that the patient was HIV positive...now IM freakin out....What are the possibilities I probably got it from changeing the soiled bed with blood...? Thanks...am just so worried...

doctor gave me Imitrex, which I took and that worked but I guess you can't take it a lot or often. Therefore, she presribed me Promethazine. I have to be honest, I'm EXTREMELY skeptical to try it out just by reading the side effects. Does anyone know if they are really that common? The shortness of breath, the uncontrollable movements, etc? Does anyone know anything better to cure a migraine. Currently I have a headache, it's not throbbing so I know it's not a migraine but I wanted to try Excedrine Migraine too, any thoughts? Advice? Etc? If there are any doctors or nurses out there, would love to hear from you!!! Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I am 5 1/2 months pregnant (22 weeks). I recently found out i either tore a muscle under my left breast around the ribs or have a muscle strain. Yesturday i sneezed and i felt a pop and now the pain is worse than ever. I obviously pulled the muscle again making it worse. Now it's almost impossible to even cough cause it hurts soo bad and sneezing is just out of the ? considering that's what make it worse. The doc said the only thing i can do it take Tylenol to ease the pain and it could take up to weeks maybe even a month or so for it to completely heal. My ? is....can this muscle strain affect the baby and can coughing a lot put stress on the baby. I mean im in a lot of pain when i cough, very sharp stabbing pain..does it affect the baby for ME to be in pain. Please help!! Thanks! :)

Once in a while (like usually once a month) if I oversleep or overeat the night before and have sweets on top of it - I wake up with a dull headache behind one eye. I also get really nauseated. I read about migraines being one sided and might be behind the eye but alot of people say theirs is on one side of their head more (usually temples). Does anyone get them behind the eye? I'm trying to figure out if it's a migraine I'm getting or sinus headache possibly? Also, if I take advil it doesn't take it away completely.

I did the Gray method to predict my height by entering both my parents' heights (they take the average and add a couple of inches, My father is 166, and my mother is 163) and the method predicted that i must be 173 cm when i'm an adult, which is two years from now. Do you think it is possible to grow 10 cm in 2 or 1.5 years? did it happen to any of you?? Please Help!

It's been coming and going for about a year now.

I told my mom and she kind of brushed it off.

Does anyone know what it is?

I don't have a history of cancer in my family, though, it could still be cancer.
