if you know that a person would lose hope and wouldn't think of getting better once he knows the truth that he has cancer, you would think of keeping the truth at least for a time. but sooner or later, the person would know... so the question is, when's the perfect timing to tell him about it? is it ok to wait until he gets better physically so that there is good news amid bad news?

I am wondering if you use Byetta injections to help control your diabetes. If so, do you like it compared to your previous diabetes meds? Does it help control your hunger? My mom is looking at using this and she doesn't know much about it. I am trying to find out some opinions from people who use it on a daily basis. Thanks!

I am 19 years old. I have done competition dance choreography for the last 10 years. However, I took a year off this past year. So it would have been 11 years. I have gained some weight since I haven't been dancing and I have lost all discipline on how to eat right. I know that these things can cause a factor in nausea at times but I have only been nauseated for 2 weeks. Also, I have daily occurring headaches and I suffer from BAD allergies.

My question is.....is this from lack of exercise or something more severe?

I am on the Nuvaring for birth control to regulate my periods although I am not sexually active and I have never had sex.

I am also a hypochondriac and I suffer from a phobia of HIV.

Like I said, I am a virgin. I do not use IV drugs, and my parents are also healthy. So should I worry about these symptoms being caused by HIV?? I don't recall anyone pricking me with a contaminated needle but I have the worst phobia of HIV ever. Could someone please help?

For over a year, I haven't been feeling like myself: I eat healthy (meat, fish, fruits, veggies) and excercise a lot. But when I wake up, I feel horrible: Usually with headache or faint nausea, my eyes feel heavy and burning and overall I just want to crawl back to sleep. It is getting worse: I am getting up later and later and don't feel good until late in the afternoon. Then I need to catch up with work and activities and ride on my late energy rush until wee hours at night, which makes it worse.

I am worried because now, I feel well only a few hours out of the day: My mind feels cloudy and although I still manage to function, I have to constantly kick myself. From the overall symptoms, I seem to suffer from adrenal fatigue. I'm in a difficult financial situation and I really can't afford pills or missing work. Anyone knows of a specific food or activity that directly improves adrenal glands? Again, I eat very well but maybe there is a specific nutrient I should be getting.

First-sry for my spelling... I tend to pass out but the last time I did it was different than the rest. It started the same-dizzy, room spun, blackout, and then fell. But when I woke up (15 seconds later) I was shaking and drooling a little and there was the loudest buzzing noise in my ears for the longest time. Did I passout or did I have a sezier?

My son has a multitude of food allergies and I am looking for some good online companies that offer packaged products that fit his needs.
The key is that the foods have to be labeled very well to prevent him getting even a trace of something he is allergic to.
His current diet is a gluten ( wheat) casein (dairy products) egg, soy, peanut, shellfish free diet.

I am looking for suggestions from people that have actually used these sites and can attest to their products.

Please don't waste my time or yours telling me to google it.. I have done that thank you.

Thanks for your help
