Health - 10 December 2007

Ive just got my 1st treadmill not long ago and i find that when i run i can only do around 10 - 15 mins on speed 5 but if i walk fastly on speed 5 or 5.5 i can do around 35 mins and im burning more calories walking.
Am i still benefiting from using the treadmill though?

I'm having an upper endoscopic surgery done on Dec 21st.
I work in retail and have to talk alot. I hear that my throat and stomach will be really sore for awhile.

How long does it usually take to recover (to the point where I can talk for 8 hours without hurting)?
How long should I wait to go back to work??

this kid in my class was saying how he killed a goose with alka seltzer, and it almost made me cry and i think of how humanity is so sick that they think its funny to put a living being through pain.

I have recurrent yeast infections (in that vicious cycle of BV to Flagyl to yeast to treatment to BV) for the past 3 months. The most successful treatment I've had so far was 2 doses of Monistat 3 back to back (for a total of 6 days of treatment). However, that caused the BV pretty bad, so I went for a more gentle Monistat 7 (which my doctor calls the gold standard) this past time around. NOTHING. It got worse! So, I began to suspect that I'm just all Monistated out and need something else. I am finishing my current round of diflucan, which did not work in the past and while it has helped this time around, has not cured the issue. The last time I went to the doctor she gave up and just gave me an alt. medicine referral. I have been on acidophilius for the past 2 months. It does nothing. I have to start Flagyl AGAIN for BV while I finish the diflucan, but I want to try one of the non-Monistat OTCs in addition. Which one is the best? I would rather have it work with no BV than be fast.

I went to see my doctor for anxiety attacks I have been having lately. Pretty bad pressure in chest, nausea, headaches,blurred vision at times-- he sent me to the lab for some blood work.
What is he looking for? Why order blood tests when it is clearly stress related (I know this for a fact...lot's of family drama...) Should I be worried (even more worried?).

I have been on an ever increasing dose of Xanax for the last 5 years. I am now at 3mg/day. I have been at this dosage for maybe two years now. It doesn't seem to be working anymore, and I'm looking for alternative, homeopathic suggestions. I am under the guidance of a psychologist and psychiatrist and have a good network of doctors, but I am at a loss right now. I can't sleep, eat, sit still, anything. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions anyone out there may have. I am considering homeopathic alternatives but don't know where to start.

My dad's got an AWFUL temper and he has had to have anger management in the past. I think, as I get older, i've started to inherit his behaviour. I'm 19 and the other day I was walking down the street and some guy walking up to me (who looked over 40) walked up to me real close and blew kisses at me and I lost it I started shouting and swearing at him in the street!

I go to bed around 9:30pm. I want to be able to get up around 5am or 530am. Right now my alarm goes off at 630am and I am lucky to get out of bed by 715am! Then I am rushing and rushing my 5 year old. I set my alarm for earlier and tell myself to get up but by the time the alarm goes off my bed just feels to darn good and warm. How can I get up earlier and get some things done around the house before I go to work and get too tired to do a lot at 5pm when work is done?!

Also, it is winter and COLD here! So that is why it is so hard to get outta bed, but I NEED to become a morning person and have more energy during the day. Plz help!!

He blames it on his 3 adult children who also live there, but on inspection, its clear that the build up of grease, detritus, grime and ground in dirt is from years and years of not cleaning. He has been a single parent so the chores are all his responsibility. He rarely lets me in the house, basically because I do nag about the condition of the home, I admit, however, my concern is that he suffers from asthma very badly and has diabetes and eczema. He does not accept that the condition of the home, with hair, dust, cobwebs, mould, grease and germs, will inevitably contribute to his health. I am concerned because diabetics can have a lowered immunity and I am worried that at some point he will become ill.
How do I get him to take this seriously?

I have a bit of a concern ..
Me & my boyfriend had sexual intercourse November 16th 07 .. After couple days after being intimate i felt really sick ..When i asked my partner if he had pulled out he told me that he didnt .. & another thing.. I was supposed to get my period on the 20th of November buh i noticed that i missed it for that month .. It turns out that my period was almost 2 weeks late. Then on Saturday December 1st I had some bleeding but it wasnt like a normal period .. The bleeding was light & only lasted for 2 days [saturday&sunday].. I went to the dotors to get a blood test done last week buh was negative .. This doesnt really make sense cuz i still feel tired all the time .. my brests are very sore & get cramps on the left side of my body.. Someone please tell me what they think because i dont have a clue or know how to make sense of this situation .. Could i really be pregnant?
