I have been in the military for 7 years and have now been found out to have a jacked up carotid artery. Which doesn't allow oxygen to flow as it should to my extremeties making it difficult to run. I have been on a profile for about 6 months and have done the walking apft and do that quite well and haven't had any strokes or anything since I started not running. I think I should get a permanent profile for walking the apft and run at own pace. However the vascular surgeon wants me to have an operation that will unclog my artery but regardless it will clot back up because of the way it is. It is web like. So even if I get it unclogged it will clog back up sooner or later. My question is how do I get a permanet profile or should I get the operation and risk having a stroke during it which seems to be a chance of happening. Also will this condition allow me to stay in the Army.

I am able to do a little running but not anything long distance. I still can max my pushups and situps and do cardio but I can't run hard for a long time anymore. I am 25 years old and fully plan on staying in until or past 20 if I can. They would do the op at FT. Sam Houston in San Antonio.

Can someone (occupational therapist?) explain to me how i can get off the ground? (Not right now, off course...LOL) I am terrified about falling! Can't be on knees, can't push off knees or wrist. Would I manage the "splits" and creep hands back to center of gravity? Other?

I have little red bumps and acne on my back for the past ten years or so, off and on that itchy like crazy. I'll have my husband scratch for me or I'll use a back scratcher. Sometimes my husband will say "don't you wash your back?" Yes, I do. I saw the doctor for it right after it started, ten years ago, and he recommended using soaps and washes, to include laundry soap, that are free of dyes and perfumes. I did that and it didn't help. What could be going on for this long?

Hi, I am 15 and i've been having these weird pains.
first, the top of my head seems to shift and crack a lot. sometimes it hurts too. then my right breast would hurt a lot. hurts more on top of it and to the side. my nipples..um..it's like someone is twisting it or something ._. my back hurts a lot and it's kinda weird because i am not even that old yet. sometimes my jaws would crack and i can't open it. when i breathe in my back cracks and i cant concentrate in school because i am so concern about these physical pains. my doctor sent me to the pyschatrist and she told me i have depression. i didnt want to take the pills because i dont think i have it. my head hurts more than usual and my breast too. oh, and i just got my period last week so i dont think my period is coming. lately, the vagina area has been discharging this fluid. i've never seen it before. it looks really noticable and there's a lot. Am i normal?

I'm tired. Mentally, physically, psychologically, emotionally -- I am dead. I have lost faith in fellow human beings. I have lost faith in myself. Perhaps my efforts will be fruitless; maybe I am naïve in believing somehow I will escape this infinite loop. I am arrogant in believing that maybe my efforts and thoughts will have any intellectual significance. These days, only a rare few concern themselves with ideas. Maybe it is with reason. Why live to become another drone? Happiness? Where is happiness if my own critical, constant introspection leeches it? Money? Fame? What is it? Nobody cares for my ideas but me.

My body is failing me as I slowly fall into a cycle of mania and depression. If death were to come upon me now, I would embrace it.

I don't know why I post here. Likely, I will be flamed. Perhaps you can offer some insight.

well i have a visually impairment. i want to see if they give me a license or not. ok DMV SAYS

If you cannot meet the vision screening standard, you must have a minimum visual acuity in at least one eye better than 20/200 (best corrected). Visual acuity is a person’s ability to see items clearly and sharply and to recognize small detail. You may wear glasses or contact lenses to meet the minimum visual acuity standard but you cannot wear a bioptic telescopic or similar lens. DMV is not allowed to license drivers who do not meet the minimum visual acuity standard. (VC §12805
now i have 20/70 in both eyes corrected. is that gud enuff? an what do they look at the most? anyone whose done the dl 62 can u tell me ur experiences?
