I was taking an ECA stack recently while I was training to get back into shape for Rugby after a 6 month lay off due to a knee injury. I had a routine fasting blood test which showed that my glucose level was 12(should be 4-6 for a fasting sample).
I know that this signals Diabetes but I am otherwise fit and healthy, with no other symptoms whatsoever. I am 6'5'' inches tall and weigh @17 stone but due to my frame and the level of sport I play I don't carry much fat.
My question is could the ECA stack have affected my blood chemistry in such a way as to cause this result?

Just recently my father died after battling with lung cancer for six months. As I sat by his bed for three hours I watched him suffer struggling to breathe with each short breathe. His eyes glazed over looking back up into his head, him grasping his bald head with his hand as he labored to breathe, and finally him starring at my mother as he gave up his spirit and his heart finally stopped. It was a horrifying experience to see, watching him literally suffocate to his death.

My 2.5 yr old daughter has had a fever for the past 7 days ranging from 100-104 degrees. We've been giving her tylenol which brings her fever down. Her doc also prescribed antibiotics which did absolutely nothing for her which leads me to believe she has a viral infection, not bacterial. She has no other symptoms although she did have pink eye a couple of days before the fever started. I'm not sure if there is any association with the pink eye or the fever or if it's coincidental. Anyhow, I'm concerned about her fever lasting so long, especially when no other symptoms are present. Any advice you can give about this is much appreciated.

First of all, I've been having really bad headaches for about a week straight, pretty much every day. Now, just a few minutes ago I experienced something really strange. Suddenly, I had to clench my jaw and tense my neck and my arms started sort of twitching. It almost felt like an uncontrollably strong urge to do these things. This went on for a few minutes and then it stopped, and I tried to figure out what was going on with me and I found I can't deliberately do any of the things my body was doing for those few minutes. It sounds strange, but it was like I lost control of what my body was doing briefly. Does anyone know what might be wrong with me? Should I see a doctor?

I'm a 19-year-old girl with no existing health problems (that I know of), by the way.

I haven't been put on the insurance of my work and can't afford to see a doctor, so I want to know if this is serious enough for me to see one and how urgent it is.

I already know that I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and I have been to the doctor countless times for it. Problem is now it has went the opposite direction. I had the Diarhea side now I have both Diarhea and Constipation, no matter what I eat I get sick. Now it has gotten so bad that I can't eat. I'm never hungry and just to look at food it just about makes me sick. I know I'm not pregnant so that's not it. What should I do? I have lost about ten lbs. in the last two weeks and I'm always really tired. I know I'm not getting the nutrition I need but I don't know how I can get that if I can't eat. Please let me know what I should do. Thanks for the replies.

If the flu virus is constantly mutating, then why do we get the flu virus only once a year and not constantly everyday?

If it is because our body's immune system is weaker during the cold winter month. Then why do we get the flue only once and not through out the whole season during winter?

Also, why don't two, three or a dozen different variations of the flu virus go around at the same time?

Thank God the flu doesn't work that way even though it is constantly mutating. But I'm just wondering why this is so?

My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He is in the early stages of it. I don't know exactly what phase or much about it for that matter. Nonetheless I am worried and scared and so is my mother. He has two options to remove it either chemo or surgery. Does anyone know which option might be better and does anyone have experiences where someone in their life had this and was fine afterward?
