Hello,

My name is Rachael and I am currently writing is letter in regards for my 65yrs male father (with no major medical history). I am in the Army and currently deployed to Iraq. I am very worried about my father, Roger's diet. He is in over all pretty good physical health. Recently he was forced to retire (May 06) which pushed him into a some what depressive state of mind. Although he never fully opens up to me I can tell through his change in behavior just from over the phone. He is constantly stressed out; worries non-stop about all kinds of thing, he what used to be great problem solver and logical thinking skills are diminishing everyday. Recently he has been losing a lot of unnecessary weight (15 lbs, he is 5'8" and 155 lbs...Smallest I have ever since him). He presents with GI symptoms ranging from acid reflex to intestinal blockage. He is having a very difficult time finding food in which does not make he sick. He is also worried about losing too much weight and not fulfilling the appropriate levels of nutrients and vitamins in which his body needs. His GI DOC has drawn blood, taken stool samples, preformed an endoscope and many other tests but nothing pathology has been detected. I personally feel he is having reaction to any food he eats because he is mentally stressing himself out and making his problems worse. My question is to you is any advise on foods he can try to eat or any way I can relay to him that he is hurting himself. Please let me know if you have any question. Thanks so much for your time!

Rachael

he has shot up can drugs be transported via semen into your body?

Serious replies only-my girlfriend just discovered that her husband is an addict after finding what she thinks is herion or cocaine. They dont use condoms and she recently started breaking out even though she hasnt changed any products that she uses.

Now she is worried about AIDS and losing her job because of failing a drug test as her employer does random drug testing.

My baby had 2 intestine surgery and after the second one he developed a scar tissue which requires a surgery to remove it. I wonder how often or what is the possibility that he might have a scar tissue again in the future?

I notice that I live in a big city. It seems like my health, and many others around me are getting sicker and sicker, younger and yourger..
I feel like the only one that feels like this. I am coughing as I walk my son to school, as the cars, and trucks are passing. I am breathing the fumes, and feel sick, and have a headaches, and other medical issues as well like fibromyalgia, depression, ovarian cysts, memory loss. Shouldn't I worry, or be like most and just pretend that it's ok? Why is this happening to me, and so many others more and more?

I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease. For the last week I have had the pressure and choking-like feeling in the front of my throat, which I expected, since that is common. However, just today I started having this intermittent throbbing pain on the left side of my neck right below my ear and down the side about halfway down my neck. It comes and goes and happens about every couple minutes, throbs for about a minute and goes away again. I have heard of the pressure/choking feeling in front due to thyroid, but is stabbing, throbbing pain in the side of the neck also a symptom of Hashi's or hypothyroid? On a scale of 1-10 the pain is about a 6

Would you get any diseases if you touch a syringe to shoot heroin or meth without using any gloves even if you didn't poke yourself with a needle?

A couple years ago I've noticed that I've seen a syringe lying on the ground and I've picked it up without using any gloves and threw it away so nobody else would see it, fortunately I did not poke myself with the syringe.
