GIVE ADVICE ON DIET & HEALTH

Some of my toe nails are of darker color. Do I have fungus? should I consult a dermotologist?

How do you get rid of toenail fungus?

I was married to a guy with really bad nasty toenail fungus and after several years it got on my toenails. It's not as bad as his, but just the thought of having it is nasty!!

Should I lay off the pumpkin pie this holiday...?

I'm 5'4 and weigh 123 pounds. I don't know if its just me anymore but I constantly feel on the fat side! I think I'm gonna start hitting up the gym...

Thanks for all the responses!! I should probably have included I'm a size 4/6.... but I think I'm gonna go with the induldgement answers anyways, pumpkin pie w/whip cream here I come!

I am 5'4 and weigh 120 pounds. Do you consider me fat?

I wear a size five, but when I see how thin Monica and Rachel are in the show "Friends", I feel disgusted with myself. What do you think?

This question is for people who have experienced heart failure and/or pulmonary embolisms.

Has anyone ever had a problem with their bottom of their foot itching and you itch so hard it that you itch it raw? Also, was it prior to and or following a heart condition? Mine started early this summer and I know it is not dry skin or fungus as the skin looks very healthy but beneath that it just itches like mad. It is only on one foot and I don't have any plantars warts either. I suffered from heart failure and a pulmonary embolism in August and I am just wondering if they are related? This condition has lightened up a little but never went away. It recently started getting bad again and I am also having more symptoms besides the foot that coincide with heart failure and blood clots in my leg such as shortness of breath, water retention and hot spots on my leg.

Washing hands, or not?

I would hope people would get the point that washing hands is not only good for you, it's good for those around you.

My question is I see a lot of people who don't wash their hands after using the restroom at my college. It's gross! If you ever saw something like this would you say something? Have you ever said something? Just curious.

Now that H1N1 is everywhere...

Do you think that people are washing their hands more, or are there still the ones who leave the bathroom without washing their hands?

Just a follow up to Glasgobelle's response. It was on the news the other night, that some people are substituting hand sanitizers for hand washing. A doctor said that is not a good thing. There are bacteria on our hands that survive without air and so they are still on our hands and only washing out hands can get rid of them.

Has anyone tried Reebok Toners or a similar shoe?

I do alot of walking and would love to get extra toning on my legs and butt if possible. The shoes are over $100 so I'd like to make sure they are worth the price before I buy.

Will I ever be cured of my mental health problems?

I'm seeking counseling but it's a long struggle.

I often wonder if I'll ever be able to lead a normal life.
Will I ever be able to make friends and interact with people or fall in love.

Can a person like me with severe mental illness ever be cured?

Will I ever overcome my feelings of depression?

How many hours of daylight...

Do we actually get in the winter time? =-)

Who's had swine flu and what are the symptoms? can you tell the difference between it and the

regular flu at all?
One of my coworkers has had it for 2 weeks, 3 times in the last two weeks he came into the office coughing all over me. He thought it was funny.
Now he's off with pneumonia, not so funny anymore is it?
I have not been able to get the shot yet, even thought i have Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, as well as several other condtions.
I'm not quite "right" today. My body aches but it's a differnt ache than arthritis or fibro and my pain killers are not touching it. I have a stiff neck and shoulders too.
My eye lids feel heavy like i haven't slept in days, i have slight nausea and feel like i need to sleep badly. I just have an all over feeling of being unwell.
Could i be getting it?
