Health - 10 December 2007

I have been over weigh since I was about 9 and I have only noticeds it for 2 years. I have been tried everthing. I have given up junk-food, i play australian rules football (but the season is over), i play cricket, i play indoor soccer and i even went to gym until i started playing cricket. But the thing is that I have a condition called talipes, there are all different types of talipes and I have one of the worst cases. So if anyone has any tricks or solution to make a 13 lose about 15 kilos/33lb.

back in august i went to the doctor and she told me i should really get the gardisil shot,that its important i get it and all, and kinda rushed me into it without really explaining it, so i got the first shot that day and right after i got it i felt like i was gonna pass out i don't know if it was from that or because i was nervous but anyway when i went home i looked the gardisil shot up on the internet and read up about it and decided that its not something i want simply because its new and nobody knows the long term affects off it, i'm just not confortable having that in my body, so i was suppose to go back in october and get my second shot but i didn't and i just wanted to know if its okay that i didn't get the other shots, i know i'm not fully protected, but is my health in danger or anything because i didn't get all the shots? is it bad if u just stop in the middle of it like that?

My boyfriend thinks its the "rotator cuff". He's been to the Nurse at work, she gave him exercises to do and said don't sleep on it. It hurts a lot more now, down his whole arm. He has trouble lifting it.
He finally called his Dr. but the Dr. is moving to Nebraska.
I suggessted a Chiropracter on Accupuncture.
Which would be better?

I have always been very competitive with not only others but with myself as well. Lately, it has gotten extremely worse with me starting high school. I get good grades but to me its not enough. I need that 100% to feel satisfied not just a regular A. If someone does better than me on a test i become extremly jealous and almost consider them to be my "rival" from then on. Its kinda like if i am not the best then I am nothing. I know its extreme but I can't control this feeling. Can someone give me some guidance as to what to do so I don't feel this way anymore.

Hello friends, Many of us having been shouting hoarse on the
usefulness of alt/med remedies. Meantime allopathic quacks
have been doing their best to demean us. Atlast i have
stumbled upon a network link which is the proof of what we all
have been posting about on this forum. I want everyone to view
the cartoon and post their review. It is highly acclaimed video
causing a flood of hate mail. Watch the TOWN OF ALLOPATH
on line video now. Allopathic quacks are also welcome to
pass their review on the illustrated story board.

Before my period I always seem to get alot of urges to go to the toilet to relieve my bowels, and I seem to get cramps and a sensation to push, its not like diareah but its not exactly nice! This can happen anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 days before my period but its very uncomfortable. Does anyone get this too? And does anyone know how to get this to stop!

I've been seeing a chiropractor for lower back pain who's told me that I have a weak iliac crest and suggested trying forearm crutches to alleviate the pressure I have to put on my pelvis when I walk. I'm also doing PT, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever even heard of crutches for back pain (more specifically, lower back/iliac muscle-whatever it is back pain)? Any success? I'm trying to find out of this is legit, because at this point I'm tired of my back aching all the time.

My father-in-law has been on kidney dialysis for a year and he has diabetes. He has bad circulation in his legs along with hardening of his skin due to nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD). This past week, he went in to the doctor to see why he has been having digestion issues (mainly frequent diarrhea) and swelling in his belly. His CAT scan showed that he likely has cirrhosis of the liver.

After reading what I wrote, I wonder why I am even posting this question. I think I am in denial about just how sick he is. I was wondering if there is anyone else out there who has had experience with this combination of diseases. How long can someone live with all of this wrong with them? I think I need to face the truth. My main question is, how long do we have left with him?

He is near and dear to my heart. Thank you to all who respond.
