Other - Diseases - October 2006

I react badly to dust and smoke. They cause me to have sinus problems and bad colds that take ages to go away. I have had one of these 'colds' for a couple of months now and the last few days, I have found blood in my mucus when blowing my nose in the morning. It isn't a scary amount of blood but it is certainly more than just a trace. Does anybody know what's wrong with me or what I should do? Please don't just answer 'see a doctor' as I live in Thailand and doctors are usually incompetent and dishonest here. They generally just fob you off and give you medicine you don't need.

i smoked a pack a day for 4 years; i quit cold turkey, and never felt the addiction pulling me back, so that's no problem. but the thing that keeps bothering be is that i keep 'coughing up' the ickiness, and it's grossing me out and getting on my nerves. i quit so i wouldn't go through this anymore. how much longer till i feel like i did before i smoked?

I've really noticed for a couple of years that whenever I'm nervous, or stressed, or even bored at times, I'll start picking my eyebrows and eyelashes. I'm sure it sounds really wierd, but I pick the hairs and rub them between my fingers to calm down...like it relaxes me somehow, and then I flick them away and continue doing whatever I'm doing. When I feel myself doing it...I want to stop...but I cant. Sometimes my eyelashes have big gaps in them cause I only pick one side, and my eyebrows also have missing gaps too.

Does this sound serious? Does anyone or at least anyone else at least know someone who does this too?

Typically, anorexia and bulemia effects more white women than women of other races. Not to say that only white women are effected. I have a friend who is black, 5 foot 7 and 110 lbs at best, her desire is to be as thin as Nicole Ritchie. Sadly, she suffers from bulemia. In my opinion Nicole Ritchie's body type is not only unhealthy but also unattractive. She looked so much better before she took her weight loss to the extreme. I have Asian friends who are naturally thin (even after child birth) and have hispanic friends who are thick (but not fat). I consider myself to be thick, 5 foot 9, 135 lbs and I wear a 6/8. I think beauty and radiance comes from having a posistive self image, regardless of your race or your clothing size. What do you think is the biggest factor contributing to eating disorders? Is the media to blame?

Just wondering as it always clashes with Breast Cancer Awareness (which I support as well) As far as I am aware there hasn't any media coverage for Lupus at all.
