Health - 28 December 2007

I have to pairs of eyeglasses with the SAME prescription. One of them has a thick rimmed frame and the other one is half rimless with metal on the top part.
I can see MUCH MORE CLEARLY when I'm wearing the semi rimless one. Is this even possible with the same prescription? If so, why is this???

My girl friend gets cold sores once or twice a year during the winter which has led us to believe that she has oral herpes. We've been dating and kissing for over a year and I have never gotten a cold sore or shown signs of it. However about a month ago I got a weird canker type sore on the inside of my bottom lip that really hurt. I'm pretty sure I've had canker sores before and this was something different. It was about the size of a small bead and it was white and inflamed. It went away after about 5 days and I haven't had one since. I've heard many different opinions on whether you can get cold sores inside your mouth. Could this have been a cold sore? I would like to find out before considering oral sex with my girlfriend because I would not like her to get genital herpes.

I'm 28 years old, and weight 112 pounds. Typically, I eat really healthy, but I'm no saint and I do have sweets from time to time. I exercise daily. For my whole life, weight hasn't been a problem so I would eat whatever I craved, just as long as I was smart about it and did it moderation. However, now that I REALLY need to watch what I eat, does anyone recommend any certain foods and/or recipes that are good for lowering cholesterol, or certain foods I should stay away from?

Thanks!

Well,I just realised by reading a package of chicken/turkey viennas that one link hasn't even got 90cals and after all since it's chicken,its loaded with proteins.
But then again,I've NEVER seen any diet plan reccomend eating a sausage before,and hot dogs have a really bad reputation.
So,after all,are they a "diet friendly food"?
What is so "bad"about them?

I'm always hesitant to open up to others. I have very few close friends even tho I'm an incredibly compassionate person and try to reach out in my own quiet way. Starting to feel as if I don't belong and that I just don't fit in. I'm soft-spoken and remain quiet when in a large group and don't like when all attention is on me because I start to get flustered and blush. I'm better when it's one-on-one. In a group setting, I often feel unheard and overlooked if everyone's talking. So I regress. I wish I could totally be myself around others and not have things affect me so deeply. Is there anything positive about being shy, soft-spoken and sensitive?

My sister in law is a hypochondriac and is worried that she has leukemia. I want to take her claim seriously, but she is always worried that she has some sort of serious or terminal illness. Also, she is very overweight, and I wasn't sure if it was likely that she could have leukemia and still have a healthy appetite.

after a road accident 5 years ago i immediately had severe pains in my neck and bottom of my head, i have had these pains for 5 years and many many visits to my GP and many prescriptions for painkillers i eventually was referred for an MRI, this shows a complete tear of my sternocleidomastoid muscle which runs from behind the ear to the breastbone area, as i was already diagnosed with ankylosing spondilitis 10 years before, my GP and the hospital consultants leaned towards this as the cause of my pain, now i am told it may be too long to be repairable, i am grateful for the hospitals help and treatment but not happy that this was missed as i can't turn my head to the side, i am only 37!!

I just started this morning, and I have been planning a rather exciting evening for tomorrow nigh with my boyfriend all week. Well, I have unfortunately started my period earlier this month than last month. And I'm not gonna cancel my plans, but more just not do as much. (No, I'm not going to have sex.)

Anyway, Is there anyway I can end it by tomorrow night, or slow the my flow so I don't have to worry too much about it?

I have been having thoughts over the past year that people are hiding from me that I am sick, or dying, even though I feel fine generally. Also, I am a hypochondriac. I get more anxious at night, and sometimes I will stay up all night because I keep having the thoughts over and over that people are hiding something they know about me. When I have an appointment with a doctor, or talk with a family member, I seem to read a lot into what they are saying, and I believe they mean other things, even though I know this is irrational. Am I going crazy or something? I just can't shake the thoughts out of my head. When my therapist talked about setting a goal, I was thinking that she wanted me to have a goal because I was dying, even though I know this was irrational to think.
Should I tell my psychiatrist my thoughts? I don't know if I should because he seems to be a little judgemental. He might think I am delusional. But are my thoughts neurotic or psychotic or what?

Did you know there’s such a thing as the Autism Spectrum?

If you dislike change, prefer routine, are obsessive, get anxious easily, take things literally & find social gatherings very scary you may be on the spectrum. You may have difficulties communicating, forming relationships & find it hard to make sense of the world. It could just very slightly affect you in some areas of life, or it may affect you more severely.

Below is a link to an online test of 50 multiple choice questions. You have to enter your gender at the top.
Answer honestly and click the Get Score button at the bottom.

LINK HERE: http://www.glennrowe.net/BaronCohen/AutismSpectrumQuotient/AutismSpectrumQuotient.aspx

A score between 11 - 22 is average. (between 1 - 50)
