not every obese person just sits around and stuffs their face constantly..they also may have an eating disorder, but society will not recognize that at all! All society does is "feel sorry" for someone who is anorexic and have "disgust" for someone who is obese.

I've just been diagnosed. I've looked at all the internet info on the disease/disorder itself (mine's from diabetes). I want to hear from people living with this and how they cope. I am in my first month of a severe "attack". No bowel movements without extreme medical intervention and lots of nausea and vomiting. I've lost 15 lbs, a bunch of hair and my get up and go has got up and went!
I've got a copy of a diet for gastroparesis which I am following religiously and am on 5 new meds a day, but so far no change. If nothing improves in the next 10 days I will scheduled for surgery.

she went into the hospitol with bruised and swollen feet. the doctors at first (of course) thought she was abused. but tested for allergies, diabetes and other things. on day 2 they rulled out abuse because while in their care her arms and legs began to swell and bruise and now on day 3 her neck and face. they ruled out allergies and diabetes.
they thought it could be HSP...but have ruled that out as well. she seems to be in so much pain and they keep taking blood (which hurts her) and taking different test after different test. they can not find anything wrong. except that she is bruising and swelling in front of their eyes.
please if you have heard or seen anything like this before explain.
her circulation seems fine.....it's a mystery right now.
leaving the family feeling very helpless.
she has a twin brother who is healthy. he can not go to the hospitol to be with her due to it being rsv season. both babies obviously miss the other.
please help.

my grandson is 5 weeks old and we have been informed of this hypothyroid condition and instucted to start him on synthroid 25 mg pill, crushed and mixed with alittle liguid. We are concerned with what may have caused this. We have a medical background, and never heard of this in a new born infant. they just informed us they saw this at birth but thought they needed to wait until his first check up to repeat it. Can 5 weeks of waiting also cause serious brain damage? this baby looks like the picture perfect baby, normal in every way, including weight gain.

I just happened to check the right arm after the left arm and found it to be 10 to 15 points lower. This is consistent everytime I check. i am right handed, too. This seems odd.

I am well-educated in the disease of addiction as I am in a 12 step program for drug addiction and have been clean for 27 months. I live with my immediate family of 4 because I am disabled and receive no income and cannot relocate. Two of my relatives are prolific smokers. They have taken measures not to smoke in our presence, but their attempts to evacuate the smoke and to mask the odor does not prevent carcinogens from being in the air. I have many allergies and spend money on the treatment of them. My other family member who doesn't smoke has a heart condition and should not be around it. He always speaks up and gets backlash. I have sent them e-mails, phone messages, and speak up about it often only to hear that I am picking on them. I have been extremely patient and exceedingly diplomatic when I talk with them about it. I don't yell, and use my understanding of addiction and empathy. I am at my wits end. I need some ideas. Please help. Thank you very much.

I've had mild narcolepsy and cataplexy. I manage it w/o drugs, mostly, with naps and sometimes a good night's sleep. In the beginning I took some antidepressants against the cataplexy and a stimulant against the daytime sleepiness, but quit when I started having babies. Now, three years later, I'm finished nursing my children and will look into something to help the daytime sleepiness in the afternoons (driving, etc.)

What's out there now for cataplexy. I hated taking antidepressants and would rather not start them again. Any advice?

I'm 14 years old and 5'6" tall. I weigh anywhere from 110-116 on a given day. I've always been insecure about my appearance, and I've since lost a pretty dramatic amount of weight. Most people tell me I'm skinny, but I cant help but feel like theyre telling me what I want to hear. My ribs do stick out and I HATE it. Its not because Im weirdly skinny, its just I have a weird ribcage. But the thing Im worried about is lately people have been telling me I need help because I'm showing signs of anorexia whether I realize it or not. I eat though. Just, not enough. On average, I'm lucky if I get 500 calories in a day. Is this bad? Help. Any advice, information, ways to cope, anything would help. Thanks

I've heard that people crap their pants JUST before we die, how far is it true ??

2006-10-13 16:29:00 · 22 answers · asked by cheticool2 1

briefly remarked that the "study did not find that colas affected men similarly." The article said either caffeine or phosphates were the ingredient to blame, and caused bone density problems or prevented bone from forming.

I understand that women seem to be more prone to osteoporosis, but why would the affects of the cola on bones (as experienced by women according to the study) not also apply to men? Is there any difference between the bones in men and women besides the basic amount of bone mass?
