Ok, I was dancing yesterday with this guy-he had been out earlier that week being sick. We did the waltz and the tango(u know close body stuff). Tonight he apparently got violently ill at this dance gathering we went to and left. I have a really bad phobia of vomiting. I was obviously exposed to it but how do I avoid getting it?

I have been hypothyroid for a couple of years and currently am taking synthroid. I take the 137 mcg but I do feel like I have energy but am not able to lose the weight. Since I've been hypothyroid I have gone from 145 to 225 lbs. I'm sick of tired of the fluctuating weight and sick of trying everything out there, that doesn't seem to work. I need some advice on how I can lose this weight properly and get rid of it. I want to go back to the weight I once was and stop buying clothes that will not fit me in a couple of months due to the increas of weight. I feel its becoming to dangerous for my body to gain this weight.

It is really tough.. And my dad never smoked or drank. When the asbestos findings were first coming out, like with men who worked in schools, hospitals.. etc, a lot of those men died because it was so new. But because my dad never smoked, he bought himself a lot of years. Anybody out there going through what I am going through now?
