I've struggled with anorexia for 13 years, and I developed bad hypoglycemia (I can't even tolerate fruit) 3 years ago. I used to drink juice and eat fruit just fine, but last year I burned 1,100 calories from working out and only ate 300-800 calories a day. I'm now on a 1,600 calorie diet a day, as directed by my doctor, and working up to 2,000 calories a day.

Has anyone developed hypoglycemia because of long-term anorexia?? and Are there any who "cured" the hypo by eating normal for long periods of time?

The veins in my arms are extremely visible. They aren't like varicose veins, they are just purple all the way up my arms. You can trace one vein from my thumb to my sholder. In the back of my hands the veins actually stand out like bones. What can I do to fix this? It's embarassing to wear short sleves.

Right now I am going to school to get my associates in nursing and by the summer of 2008 I will be an RN (Yay!). I live on Long Island and I know the starting salary is about $60,000 (without differentials) at the [private] hospital I work for (as opposed to a state or government hospital). Also, the hospital will pay for you to continue with your education (i.e. bachelors/masters) as long as you get above a certain GPA, which sounds good to me (current GPA 4.0 nursing, 3.4 cumulative).

My boyfriend and I might relocate to NC and I heard that nurses don’t make good money there. Any nurses out there that might want to help out here? Or does any one know any good websites that I can get this information from? (Not just average salaries, I'm talking average STARTING salaries of RN's).

OK, I met this girl from the same town. Who at the time recommended me to go work at this assisted living facility her friend ran. OK, so my friend was going to work at a different facility. But it turned out that, she ( my friend) went to the assisted living place, and got the job she refferred me to. I have certificates. I have 11 years of experience. She had nothing. but, 1 month experience. No degrees, no certificates NOTHING! I now work around HER schedule. as if she were higher up in the chain of command. Its kind of makin me mad. Am I wrong to feel this way?

mkay i have a cavity in my new tooth. it is kinda big. the dentist told me i have to get novicane to numb it which requires a shot in the gum? im scared. does it hurt. people say your cheecks feel fat and you can't feel a thing? is this true? does it hurt? how long does it take to fill a tooth? how do they do it? do they put you to sleep with gas? i don't want to get it filled. i might need a root canal. my mom said if i get one, then my tooth will fall out years later, because the root isn't there to hold the tooth in place. please help i hate going to the dentist. it freaks me out and i get bad stomachaches when i go there. how can i reassure that everything is going to be alrite.

I had to have my blood taken the other day at my doctors for tests. But the nurse could not get any from me and she tried 3 different veins. The first one she got a tiny bit then it stoped not enough to send off she said. I asked her why this happened and she didnt say, only come again in 3 weeks and try again. Why do u think this happened?

if i ever cut myself or have a spot or whatever it take AGES to heal and it leaves a red mark for a couple of months which eventually fades to light brown. i have marks like this from small cuts from about 6 months which just dont fade.

ive always put this down to the fact that i have very pale, delicate skin, ie. you can see all the veins up my arms and legs and i find it really hard to find make up light enough for my skin. but i'm starting to wonder whether im not getting enough protien or of some vitimin. although i do eat healthily. i use healing creams and vitiman e oil, and also bio oil.

id like to know what might cause slow healing?

I don't usually get dizzy in the car, but today I felt like I was going to throw up..

It was kind of hot, I was wearing too much, and I already had a mild headache (from oversleeping).. I have experienced dizziness before, but that was due to my low blood pressure, it would usually happen when, and if, I haven’t eaten in a while, but this time I had eaten breakfast! So I’m not sure what the exact cause was..

I know the dizziness was circumstantial (at least I think so), but is there anything I can do to avoid it?

My new man snores like a buffalo. Joking aside he breathes loudly and huffs and puffs all night whilst continually snoring extremely loud!!! I can't get a wink of sleep!! I know this is a common problem with no such cure but I don't want to offend him but I can't sleep at all when he stays!! even when he lies on his side he snores and makes loud exaggerated breathing noises which are so loud they keep me awake!! He keeps telling me to prod him if he snores but its all the time so that just doesn't work! He wakes up for like 5 seconds and stops then it starts all over again!!! Does anyone know of anything that relieves snoring a bit? Apart from smothering him with a pillow!!!!!!!! Just kidding! Any help would be appreciated as I can see im gonna have to try and make excuses for him not to stay over if I want any sleep at all!!! Please help!
