I have had 2 severe (anaphalactic) allergic reactions after eating shrimp. I've eaten shellfish my whole life, but the emergency room/hospital Dr. said you can develop an allergy at any point in life. They told me it could kill me to eat it.
My question is, aside from lobster, shrimp, crab and scallops...what else are considered shellfish? I also like mussels and calamari...are these shellfish too? I just don't want to make a big mistake.

I'm worried about my boyfriend's health. He is in his early thirties and has been an insulin dependent diabetic since he was five. He is about 40 or 50 lbs overweight. His blood sugar has been consistently high in the mornings (around 250.) He just had a scare with a foot wound and his eye doctor has found the first signs of diabetic retinopathy.

He's a quiet guy and doesn't discuss all of this openly with me. I know what is going on as far as all the medical issues because I ask him pointedly about it. I just don't know what he is personally feeling. I've told him that I think he should find a better doctor and start eating better. I've actually begged and implored him to do so. I think the biggest problem is his diet. He eats a large volume of food daily. I think he needs a daily caloric limit set. I am currently seeing a dietician myself and think at least a session or two would be so great for him to set a diet. How do I get him to work on his health?

The word is 'episode', specifically used in this context:
A boy who has a heart-attack is advised not to go out too often, otherwise he would have an episode. I wonder what 'episode' means in this circumstance.
More context:
-"If you took him outside, it'd be easy for him to have an episode'
-'if he doesn't have an episode, it'd be fine'
-if he wasn't near the hospital when one happens, it would be fatal.
-Those episodes are just fights against time.
-he's fine now, but his stamina decreases. When he has an episode, his condition can change completely.

Also, how should I understand the sentence "Those episodes are just fights against time"? Please and thank you for your help

This summer I started a really bad sleeping habit. I would sometimes stay up till 6-7 am, talking on the phone or going on the computer, sometimes just watching tv. Now I stay up as late as 4-5 am. What can I do? I want my sleeping schedual to be back to normal before school starts next week. I feel tired durring the day and at night but sometimes I just can't fall asleep. Could this be insomnia? Is there anything I can do?

I tested positive for clamydia during my pregnancy, but 3 years ago it was negative.
I've only been with my husband and he swears only me! Is it possible he had it from the past! Or was he unfaithful? We've been together for six years.

i think theres something wrong because i get lightheaded a lot and i get tired really easy when doing exercise even though im at a healthy weight and i know i dont have asthma or anything. i dont know if its relavent but im also really pale and my diet is basically hot pockets, cereal, and diet cokes. last time i went to a doctor, she just said i was unconditioned but i try to run a lot and i still get just as tired every time and nothing has changed with my endurance since ive seen her a year ago :-/ she made me feel like a hypochondriac so i dont know if im just being overdramatic. what do you think?
