Health - 22 December 2007

I've asked before, I'm asking again:

I'm looking for information on motorcycle helmets and injuries. Specifically I need to find cases where someone on a motorcycle was:

a)wearing a helmet.

b)involved in an accident.

c)suffered injuries that would not have occurred if they had been wearing a helmet, or had injuries that were worsened because of the helmet.

I don't need second hand hearsay. I don't need to know about this thing that happened to this one guy you know. I facts that can be verified.

Also - if any medical professionals would we willing to correspond with me regarding this subject I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for your time.

I have noticable back fat and my thighs are more jiggly than muscly along with my butt blending in with my lower back fat. What exercises are best to getting rid of this? Also I have upper arm fat in the back near my arm pit and in the front near my armpit aswell. I'm 97 pounds and I'm 4'11, but I know that fat weighs less than muscle and that fact bothers me because I feel I have too much. What's the best way to get rid of these exercise wise along with a less fatty diet? Note - I'm not obese at all. Not even over weight, but it's all noticable.

Okay. I work at a conservatory. It's very, very hot in there (around 80-90 with MIND-BLOWING humidity). I live in a very cold area....so I have two questions.

One-Will walking from the 80+ area to a 30- area hurt me? I do this at least 2 or 3 times a day.

Two- We have a misting machine (industrial-it's crazy). Will breathing in all this moisture give me any kind of lung condition?

Right now, my lungs feel kinda heavy, like I have extra liquid in there. I've been coughing to try to get rid of the feeling....it's pretty much working, and it feels like I'm coughing up all the moisture I breathed in today.

Also, how would I prevent these winter-type diseases/ailments, etc.? I have very little meat in my diet...is this bad? Any suggestions are welcome, but please be knowledgeable.

Thanks (:

It's not anything like an excruciating pain, more like a restriction to my lungs, so when i take a deep breath or even an average-sized one I feel like there are tiny daggers stabbing the bottom right part of my lungs. I'm not even sure if IT is my lungs, just that part of my chest.
And it's not just when I breathe, either, when I cough or sneeze or bend down or something.
It's been like this for three days now, and I don't think I've done anything that could have damaged my ribs.
What should I do?

I have two or three really bad nightmares every night, and I don't know what to do about them. I've had them for years, but I don't know why. I take EffexorXR for anxiety, and I know that can cause vivid dreams, but I've only been on it for about a year and a half. I've looked for tips to stop nightmares, and I've tried a few, like talking about them, writing them down, and trying to think of happy endings for them, but they haven't worked. I rarely have recurring nightmares; they're different every night and I really hate them. Does anyone know a way to make them stop?

I have this pain in my right side under my ribcage that has since overtaken my liver. My skin around my torso aches like when you have the flu. The symptoms came on quickly (within two hours) and have not abated. I have not had a fever or any other symptoms. What could it be?

I benched 155 and on Nov 27, I could barely put up 115. Not to mention, I probably could have benched 165-170 if I didn't burn myself out so fast. I'm on NO Xplode, Creatine, and Whey Protein. My goal was to reach 150 by dec 31 and I thought I would barely reach it by the end of the year, but I'm now way past that goal. I really surpised myself today. I know I won't continue at this rate for very long but is this bad in any way? Also, when I benched 155 I wasn't even on NO Xplode at the time.

For almost a week I have been feeling very sore in my right breast. The left does not hurt at all. I'm almost positive it's not a pre-menstrual thing, and I didn't do any activity that would have caused the pain. There are no unusual lumps or change in appearance, although my right breast feels much...firmer, I guess. The pain I'm feeling isn't sharp or burning, it's just a very sensitive feeling and it's extremely uncomfortable. Any slight movement makes it hurt. I tried using a heating pad-type thing to help, but there isn't really a difference. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and what I should do to treat it would be greatly appreciated.

I was looking up colon cleansing and saw some interesting pictures of what they take out of people. I eat healthy; no processed foods, lots of fruits and vegetables, and no meat. So I am wondering if I have that crap in my colon. Look it up, it so gross!
