Sciatica :: Food / Diet / Nutrition Suggestions?
I would figure good nutrition (less sugar, less white flour, less processed foods, less trans fat, and more fruits, vegetables, whole grains) is a good idea. It is a good idea if there are no sciatica problems.
But if you have any cause - effect food insights or if you know of any particularly helpful foods.
Diet / Nutrition :: Chinese Food Makes Me Sleepy
I usually don't eat chinese food, mainly because my stomach HATES it. But, it does taste good, so last night I decided to get some.
My sleep schedule is a bit messed up right now, so I woke up at around 4pm, and got my Chinese at 6pm, so I literally had only been awake for about 2 hours. I got Sesame Chicken with some white rice, but ended up not really eating the rice.
After a few bites, I realized I was extremely tired. Like, I could've fallen asleep eating. I ate until I was satisfied, but really, that wasn't much, not even half of what I got. I put my chicken away, then went back to playing video games, and fell asleep while playing. It was only for about an hour, but still, It was weird.
This afternoon, I woke up, got myself my leftovers, heated them up, and again, a few bites in, and i'm practically asleep.
Is there something in Chinese food that makes people tired?

View 4 RepliesDiet / Nutrition :: Sugar Feeds Inflammation
I started a food diary and just wondering if what I am learning is common.
I have been told that many of my ailments are from inflammation. Ankle, hip, knee, back etc. I was told to start taking care of my gut and it would fix the rest of my body.
Anyway step 1 was to create a food diary. So what I am learning is that very quickly (like within 5 - 10 minutes) of eating sugar, my pain sky rockets.
And after taking an anti-inflammatory pill my pain goes away very quickly, like 5-10 minutes.
Yes I know that sugar feeds inflammation and I should avoid it.
What I am wondering is the timing odd?
I would not have anticipated sugar or a medication to have that immediate of results.
During my life I have taken anti-inflammatory pills a few times and really never found them to do much. Until today.

Returning from a hospital session of Drips and Deprivation (food) I was handed a Low Residue diet to follow. Scant in products,and information what to do with said products, I searched the web for more information,
only to find contradictory eat and don't eats, so I thought that WE the sufferers of food deprivation should start our own Divi Diners club and see if we can throw some light on the subject.
I Love mushrooms,but cannot find any info about them. How do we achieve our five a day if we can't eat fruit? Is it O.K. to take the skins off?
Can we have chips or roasties,or fish with batter on? Spices, do any of you use spices. and what do you put on spaghetti?
Can we blitz veggies, as stews and casseroles are forbidden?
Pastry is allowed, but no mention of which type.
So. can we help each other ,then at least when ,or if we ,dine out, we can order something from the menu.
I cannot eat boiled potatoes ,eggs (is it O.K to have a fried one?) jelly and rice pudding for ever. .
So please join in and share your doe's and dont's. mushrooms eaters.
Acid Reflux - Diet / Food Advice?
I had another bad night's sleep last night even though i took my medication before i went to bed at midnight. At about 6pm I had my last meal which was Ham off the bone new potatoes and baked beans.I later had a cup of tea and later still some Wine Gums as a sweet treat. So in your experience I am i correct in assuming that it was the ham that caused my problem rather than the other things I ate. By what I have read I think I am lucky in what problems I am having compared to many of yourselves but it seems to me that as time is going on my illness is getting worse.

View 2 RepliesPanic Attack? Dizzy And Kind Of Disoriented
Last night we very weird towards the end of the night I started getting very dizzy and kind of disoriented which started to scare me a little bit. Then I tired to go to sleep and for some reason I kept waking up really scared, thinking I'm dying, wanting to run to the hospital, everything felt like it was closing in on me, hot and kind of freaking out. I would be extremely dizzy and felt like I couldn't see straight. Still kind of feeling that way now because I didn't get much sleep maybe. My head started hurting and it was all very weird. This morning I'm the same way and when I try to go back to sleep my stomach gets upset and won't let me. I'm also very stuffed up my nose is horrible. I feel like I'm going crazy
View 4 RepliesEye Floaters? Wired Kind Of L And C Shape In Left Eye
I'm a 22 year old male and for as long as I can remember I've always had eye floaters, normally in my left eye and in a wired kind of L and C shape. I've never really thought about them till recently cos I've noticed (or maybe I've only just started actually thinking about it) that they occur more often. they haven't really changed in shape or size, don't seem to flash or cause any other symptoms, it's just there.... mainly seem to happen more at work or when I'm in a brighter atmosphere, I went for an eye test 8 months ago and she said everything is fine (apart from having a slight astigmatism in my left eye) and to come back for another check in 5 years.
should I worry about these floaters? apart from these my eyesight is perfectly fine and eyes appear healthy, thanks!
Inflamed/Swollen Meatus - Kind Of Splitting A Bit
I'm a 16 year old male, first time being here. So, I have a problem to talk about since I feel like I might enter the sexual contact stage of my life soon. I have these "lips" around my meatus for about a year or more, but never really noticed them until the last couple of days. Never had any sexual intercourse before. I've done some research on some random forums and came to a conclusion that these appeared from my harsh and rough masturbation, sometimes to the point of the meatus kind of splitting a bit, washing penis glans and meatus with soap after masturbation. It doesn't really hurt, but this morning it kind of swollen up a lot more because I've washed off smegma the day before and the skin didn't really retract and cover the "lips", so it was super sensitive. I've read somewhere that I might be stuck with this for the rest of my life. Are there any ways to treat this? I'm very anxious about everything in life, suffer from a few anxieties and depression.

Experienced light spotting, during last period. After it ended, I started experiencing sore and itchy vagina, and muscle spasming in my legs.I have tried various over the counter things, and my legs have calmed down, but keep me awake a lot. I found a pill that calms the sore itching also, but comes back when I don't take the pill. I now have a clear kind of watery discharge. As well, last night a good gob of hair fell out on my vaginal area. What is going on? Also, I am nearing my next menstrual cycle.

View 1 RepliesNuvaRing - Deciding To Give It A Try
Who here has been on the NuvaRing?
After discussing my options with my doctor last week, I decided to give it a try. So far so good. I had some cramping in the first few days, but that's completely gone now and I haven't noticed any other side effects.
Part of why I chose NuvaRing is I don't have to think about it very much. Also, my doctor doesn't like the implant, and would rather save an IUD for last if I don't find something else I like. She did mention Depo, but I didn't want that because of what I've heard about bone density loss and weight gain, neither of which I want. Another reason is my doctor said she has lots of patients with success skipping their periods on the ring, and that's something that's important to me. If I could, I'd stop my period until I was ready to get pregnant.
Nuvaring :: Can I Take It Out And Give A Rinse?
Okay so inserted the Nuvaring in February. I like it so far. Pretty easy. I like not having to remember it everyday. But what I want to know is is it possible for it to give me a fishy smell inside my vagina? For example I wanted to wash myself up and go have fun with hubby and I did so. And after i washed I did a test run and I wiped the surface of my vagina with my finger and it didn't smell like anything so I thought "cool". Well he stuck his finger inside of me and it had a fishy smell. Nothing else is going on down there. No discharge. No burning, itching, etc. Do I need to take my nuvaring out and give it a rinse every once in awhile or what?
