Health - 6 December 2007

Three years ago my ex-girlfriend had a guy she was sleeping with at the time who worked for the DMV screw up my driving record. I lost my license after being arrseted ofr driving under a supended license. Thats when living in exile began. I had to move in under my work in old office space so I could walk to work everyday. I didn't like this job to start with but it was all I could get with my situation. Today I was late to work because I just stood at the bottom of the stairs looking up at the door. It took everything I had to walk up those stairs and come into work. I'm sick of everything I'm doing. I live in an area where walking to stuff is impossible due to the bad area. I have to carry a gun with me when I buy food. I shouldn't have to live like this. I've tried to get my license back with no luck. I've lost the motivation to go on anymore.

For the past two years I've been one of the misfits at school. I have almost no problem with this, but people throw food at me, tell me I'm a loser, call me stupid, and weird. I use to have snappy funny comebacks for stuff like that but not anymore. I find myself sitting back and taking it. I've been feeling more depressed. I don't want to see a doctor or anything I just want to get out of this stage. I still laugh and enjoy myself but, I still get depressed at times. I'm worried because I die alot in my dreams and I don't believe in that you die in your dreams you die in real life because I've died several times HELP!!!

I am just wondering. I am only 43 years of age. But have several health problems to deal with.
I have been a heart patient all my life. And on top figthing Fibromyalgia and Arthritis. I have pain now in my stomach area. Symptoms are following.
Every time I eat something, I get violently ill. Dirrarhea and nauseation and throwing up. I am only 43 years of age, and for the test that those above 50's are doing, I am too young for. I can't eat in Restaurants much. I avoid there salad and veggie bars. Every time I ate them I got so ill. today now I was only in MC Donalds I had a grilled chicken sandwich. and some french fries. Does any one out there have an idea what I am dealing with? My aunt said today on the phone that she and our grandma on maternal side, have the same troubles with their stomachs? I hate to eat just oatmeal, and soups, and toasts, and bagels. But's thats about all I can eat or mashed potatoes or potatoes.

I am a 20-year-old female. I am healthy, not at all overweight, and get plenty of excercise. This has been going on for several years now, but whereas five years ago it only happened once a month or so, it is now happening almost daily. I will be simply sitting or lying there, and suddenly, when I breath in, I get a very sharp pain seemingly where my heart is. It feels like something poking or crushing my heart. When I sit still for a moment, it dulls to an ache, but when I inhale or exhale deeply, the pain sharpens again. Sometimes it lasts only a minute or two. Sometimes it lasts for over an hour. It's really starting to scare me and I was wondering if it's something I should be seriously concerned about.

The side effects out weigh the benefits. You name the anti whatever I have taken it. Personally I think it's a conspiracy between the Dr's & Big Pharma.

I don't listen to my Dr. just b/c he has an MD. i do my OWN research & find what's right for ME not 100 people from some bogus study.

I have had sweat problems in my underarms for a long time now... (I'm 17). I've tried every deodorant known to (wo)man. Regular Secret or whatever doesn't work for me. Secret Clinical strength worked for a few days and then didn't anymore. Certain Dri worked for a while but isn't doing it anymore. Before it at least helped but it's getting just as bad now as before. Am I out of options? Help!

My mother is a relasped alcoholic. My dad became an Al-Anon facilitator after her original recovery over 15 years ago. I've learned alot about alcoholics, the "disease" , dependacy and co-dependancy, hating the disease and not the person. But Im just plain tired of letting her "disease" be her excuse for everything. No one is holding a gun to her head. She is repsponsable for all of her actions. She chooses to drink, the alcohol doesn't drink her. Its like blaming the liquor store for selling it. Im just tired of hearing "blame the disease," "Its not her. Its the booze." My dad helps a lot but sometimes it easier coming from someone outside the situation.

so many people try to avoid bread.

but i thought wholemeal bread is one of the main things you need everyday?

is it fattening??

the bread i eat has like 1.5gms of fat, 2gms of sugar i think and like 23gms of carbs..

i know white bread is unhealthy because of the flour in it, but whats the deal with wholemeal??

I've pretty much "plugged" my nose by pinching it my whole life when I have to sneeze. If I don't it seems like it makes me have to sneeze a lot more. The problem is that for the past couple of months whenever I plug my nose and sneeze I get this severe pain in my left arm. It starts in my shoulder and works it's way down. The best way I can describe it is by calling it a "severe ache". Sometimes it only hurts for 30 seconds or so and sometimes it lasts for minutes.

I know it's bad to plug your nose and if this pain persists i'm going to have to stop. But does anyone know why this could be happening? It might sound silly but I associate pain in your left shoulder with a heart attack.

For anyone that might want to know, i'm male, 5'11", 24yrs old, 200lbs.

Thanks :)

Everytime I over eat with pizza, I get fatiqued and constipated. Yesterday I ate pizza, and my stomach started to feel funny. Then I went to the bathroom and it came out wattery a little and then soft blops. Then I got up and felt light headed. And then I started feeling fatique.

This happened before, but I would feel fatiqued until I cleaned myself out with milk of magnesia because I would be constipated. I never listen to myself everytime and always stuff my gut with 6 slices of pizza. I know I need to stop, but i LOVE pizza lol.

Does it sound like a food allergy in the cheese or just I overate or stomach flu?

femoral hernia. I then recieved an appointment letter the day of the appointment but unfortunately too late as had allready missed it. Im now due to go next week. My question is its a femoral hernia..but my periods are absent and my stomach swollen am feeling drained and more tired than usual..its definately not pregnancy so there is no doubt about that..but was wondering if these symptoms are cocnsistent with a femoral hernia.
Im strating to wonder if its something else, but surely the doctor who scanned me would have said so, i cant find anything on femoral hernia were your periods are absent and your stomach swells. Can anyone give any advice or now of any useful websites were i can get more info on this?

ok so , lately ive been under a lot of stress and anxiety which was causing to give me palpitations , nwo i was sure i had heart problems so i got an ekg done and bloodwork and it showed nothing, but yesterday i started getting chest pains throughout different parts of my chest and it even felt like my heartt sometimes . and recently even when im not doing physical activity , it feels my heart is beating harder , harder as in more intense and stronger , not faster , im just wondering could that to be stress related cause it gets very scary when im playing sports and my heart is beating that hard , and also usually whenever i felt my heart i would feel the one beat , but now, i can feel the recession i guess you could call it , if that makes any sense to you , it kind of feels like i feel the original pump and than i can feel the heart kind of come back in ( again if that makes any more sense to you ,
could this all be stress related?

There are so many diets out there, and i need one that works.

My doctor says im in a healthy range, but i feel gross.
I lost 30 lbs about a year ago bc i was sick, and now that im better i've gained about 20-25 of it back.

I'm 15 and i would like to lose about 40 lbs.
this will still leave me in a healthy range, but a slimmer healthy range. :]

please leave suggestions o diets that you have used,ect.

thanks!

Well i've been having some problems with my skin lately. I've tried products and its gotten my face pretty cleared up, but these pimples are really weird. Its like under the skin, but NOT hard big red pimples ( sorry for the detail, but i just dont know how else to word it ) theyre small ( but there's a lot ), and practically blend in with my skin, but you can always see them in the light, and i feel them constantly, so it's very annoying, because it looks to people like i have clear skin, but if you ever ran your hand over my face it's bump after bump. I dont know what to call this, or how to fix it! help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thanks in advance!
