Health - 18 December 2007

this all started with my bf wanting to record the birth of our baby when it is born. I told him I didnt want a camera on me in the delivery room when I'm going through with that. B4 I got pregnant, he passed a kidney stone & it sounded more like he was birthing a boulder in the bathroom & then I heard him scream! I told him that if I he records the birth of our baby, then I get to stand in the bathroom & record the birth of his next kidney stone(he's passed 5 in the last 8 yrs, so more will come). Is that fair? He said no, because a man passing his stone is a more private experience than a woman giving birth in a hospital. When he was married to his ex-wife, he got their 3 kids on tape I guess, but between then & now had 2 kids w/ 2 different women & didnt get to be there at the birth. I mean, he stands there & pisses out a rock & lets out a yell, then its done, childbirth is much different. Do you thinks it more private then childbirth? you'd have to caputre his penis would you?

I have a friend who says that his magnetic belt helps him to not eat too much, but I'm thinking that if a belt could do this, then any belt would work. What's so special about it being magnetic?

Tomorrow I am travelling to Brazil and in total I will be travelling over 30 hours (lay overs, car time, etc.) I wanted to take sleeping pills for the plane so that I'm not completely exhausted when I see my friends and family. Last night I took a sleep aid, Diphenhydramine HCl, 25 mg (1/2 of whats directed on the box). This morning I woke up really dehyrdrated and felt like I had a hangover, including almost puking.. sucked so bad.

Does anyone have any recommendations for my flight tomorrow? I need to sleep on the plane.. what about Benedryl (sp).. I took that before a class once and could hardly stay awake. haha Do you think that put me to sleep without the side effects?

Thanks in advance!

Yesterday I woke up and had 2 blister like spots one on my middle finger, and one on my thumb, I thought I may have did it cooking the night before. I now have about 8 on the hand it started on and 2 on my other hand. They look like small blisters and they burn and they itch like mad. I am very anal about washing my hands, and I haven't switched soaps. I can't think of anything thats changed

I am 20, 5'7 and about 138...I work full time and have an office job, so I'm pretty unactive at work. I don't consider myself fat, my legs are very muscular and so is my stomach but I just have some fat covering them. And little love handles that I want to get rid so I have more curve.

I was wondering if the lean cuisine meals are suitable for lunch and/or dinner, since I don't have a lot of time to make food.
For breakfast I usually do special k with a banana or something. Then I have my fat free yogurt, apples or a low calories snack few times during the day.

Are there any supplements I should take...protien shakes...
what would be a good eating plan and workout plan.
I try to do 30 min of cardio when I go to the gym. would walking a mile on lunch be a good i dea to squeeze in... help!

I love him completely and his size is not an issue. My concern is his health! He refuses to see a doctor and has no good excuse as to why he is afraid to go. He's overweight, sneaks food (especially candy), over eats, has high blood pressure (not on meds), snores, sleep apneia, a mouth breather when awake and always seems to have labored breath.

I am trying to convince him to go to the doctor and he makes a joke of it or tries to change the subject. It breaks my heart that he doesn't see the seriousness in his condition an only FEEDS his problem. I have even gone to lengths of telling him that he is giving himself a death sentence in continuing to live in the manner in which he does and have told them that he is a walking time bomb. I have tried to be compassionate since I know overeating can be an addiction and very difficult to battle. Still it has been months and he still refuses to see a doc.

Please be nice...God don't like ugly!

At first I thought maybe I just had an allergy to whatever plastic they were using, but my husband has the same bluetooth device and is having the smae identical health problems, to the point that it is too painful to use them, and we've only had them a little over a week.
