Avatar f tn Has anyone had any luck on the Slim-Fast diet? I just started it, I need to lose around 30lbs.
Avatar f tn I would not recommend drinking Slim Fast. I love Slim Fast. I have a tub in my desk right now because I used to use it as quick meal replacement when things got busy at work. I haven't touched it since I got pregnant. Too many chemicals in the ingredient list. And it contains aspartame, an artificial sweetner which isn't good for you especially if you're pregnant.
Avatar f tn Welcome to the community. Try walking at a reasonable pace. Also look into yoga as it's low impact and done at a slow very deliberate pace. Be sure to watch what you eat as well - might also help the e-coli infection.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know how I can purchase the Slim Ball pills DESPERATE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn Im being admited to the hospital cause one of my sons kidneys are larger than the other and he has fluid in his tummy, im only 34weeks and they may or may not keep him inside me. Has anyone had this problem? How can this happen to him? Im so sad about this:( my poor baby something can happen to him they said.
Avatar m tn You should be concerned and might want to use the day after pill to prevent the sperm from reaching an egg. However, the risk is lowest after the period for many women. Just on the odds it's very slim. A good idea would have been to go to the drug store and purchase spermicide to flush with, probably too late now. I would have her contact her doctor just to be on the safe side as said above asap. She probably can still take a pill to prevent pregnancy.

Avatar f tn I think I will need to switch abx. I remember the PA saying that the Bicillin is excreted by the kidneys, which would be a big relief to my gut. I had gallbladder pain early on so Rocephin wasn't a good choice then. It might be time to switch to IV Rocephin. Last time in, my doc said I was okay to switch if needed. I will also ask about cholestyramine and welchol. My Lymie friend who I saw yesterday also recommended the cholesytramine.
1328016 tn?1275008941 About two weeks ago I gave the guy I'm seeing oral sex. About two days later I started to have a sore throat and swollen glands. It hurt to swallow, it seemed that i had to much salyva in my mouth and when I talked I didn't sound right. I took medicine for it which did nothing and then thought it might just be allergies. It started to go away and now it is back. I was wondering if it could be cased by giving the guy oral.
Avatar m tn Pain management is complicated and knowing the reason why your father is taking the meds he is prescribed as well as the long-term goals and effects seems like something you have a right to ask about.

Avatar f tn Just wanted to add that I, and a friend of mine, too, upon first trying Slim Fast thought there was magic in the shake, and thought we could eat whatever we wanted and take the shake and it would somehow do the work for you. Heh, well I learned you can't do a meal and a shake and that the secret is that it is about 200 calories per can, and it fills you up with protein, vitamins and minerals, so you don't get hungry.
Avatar f tn The last 3 times the dye was used - even with preparation beforehand - really messed up my kidneys. Had to stay in the hospital a few days longer to get the numbers down for the kidney. Otherwise no issues.
Avatar f tn I am a 24 year old female. For the past month or so I feel starving all the time. It's the feeling of a gurgling stomach and intense, sickening gnawing hunger pain underneath the gurgling. It makes me immediately start sweating, I get hot and feel that I'll be sick (faint, throw up, etc.) if I don't eat immediately. I run into the kitchen and drink milk and eat oatmeal, peanut butter toast, etc.
1707055 tn?1316144521 First off, there is no healthy way to drop pounds fast. When you lose weight, you want to do it slowly in order to keep the pounds off and have the weight loss last. Second, according to your weight tracker status on your profile, you are already in a healthy weight range, so why are you trying to lose more weight? It's not healthy to go below a certain weight and your body needs many nutrients, especially as a growing teen.

Avatar f tn she said her periods have been on december 26 and january 26 . and on feb 11, 13, and 16 she put a little of her boyfriends *** inside her really quickly. i tried searching it for her but i didnt find anything really asking the same thing. imho i hope shes not. what do you guys think?
Avatar f tn It started in my lower back then went to under my ribs. The right side at my ribs hurts the most. Lately ever time I eat I get a knott (spasm) in the middle of my ribs at my stomach. I have had a Cat scan, blood work, pelvic ultrasound, ultra sound of my kidneys and there is nothing abnormal. I know there is something wrong. I wouldnt have pain, other wise. Sometimes I will get sharp pains after eating and I have to wait a few seconds and then it goes away. Anyone got any thoughts....
Avatar n tn The answer is simple if you get Direct blood (as his blood spilling onto you, NOT AIR,) and it falls into your wound (which you are also BLEEDING, notice I said bleeding, because scabbing occurs very fast and HIV can not penetrate this layer of skin.) The chances of getting infected are very slim or non existent." Ty.
Avatar f tn No, I don't think it will affect kidney stones, but.. Slim fast has horrible ingredients, and I would not feed it to my dog. From their website, they list Hydrogenated soybean oil, High Fructose Corn syrup, etc. Soybean oil will make you fat, and so will high fructose corn syrup.Suffice to say, stay away from Slim Fast! Eat whole foods instead. At best, these drinks may cause rapid weight loss, but they are not healthy and usually the weight comes back later.
Avatar f tn The mechanism of the disease is still unclear, but some studies suggest that it is caused by circulating complexes of antibodies and HCV particles directly causing damage to the kidneys as they are deposited in the glomerulus and tubules of the kidneys. Some authors recommend treatment of patients with HCV-related kidney disease even in the absence of active liver disease. The current treatment of choice for HCV infection is interferon and ribavirin.
Avatar m tn 1) Hypothyroidism 2) Weak kidneys Chinese medicine claims that the kidneys warm the body. Many things can cause weak kidneys. One cause is toxic metal poisoning. Another cause is working too much overtime. I suggest you get a hair analysis from a Naturopathic doctor, to see if you have toxic metal poisoning. I cured my Sleep Apnea many years ago by getting treated by an acupuncturist. She strengthened my kidneys, as well as my other organs.
Avatar f tn so to me it would seem that you had already missed ovulation and your chances of pregnancy would be slim especially if your taking the emergency contraceptive. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn After another round of tests and a visit to my LLMD, he pronounced my kidneys "back to normal." Yay!! He upped my dose of clindamycin and said in a month to switch to doxy. He wanted to wait until we're further into fall weather as I am very fair skinned. First time I will have taken doxy, and it'll be just shy of a year from diagnosis. I feel every dosage increase and new antibiotic I take.
Avatar f tn Thanks for taking my question. I'm 69 female, still working full time, and have lone AF for 4 years. My specialist here in OZ tells me to take a pill(Tambacor)and wait for my heart to 'settle' when I have an attack. I have had a stress echo which was normal, an ultra sound which was normal, I have good blood pressure 130/80, and an angiogram showed my arteries to be normal.
1968463 tn?1374757813 Actually, I have tried a LOT of different fasts over the years, and the most comfortable and most effective I've ever done is the "lemonade fast", or "lemonade diet." You can google it and get the recipe...It's amazing, and weight comes off really fast. I have a low blood sugar problem, but did not have problems on this fast.
Avatar n tn I am 47 years old woman, very active and slim (at list before). The past to menstrual cycles (regular), after my period ends, in about four or five days, my breasts start getting sore and specially heavy again. In the same proportion is my belly. I always had this symptoms around a week before my period starts (could deal with this). To add more misery into it, I gained 6 pounds and can not get rid of them. Exercise even more and try to eat very good.
Avatar n tn It’s difficult to predict what the prognosis will be, as this will depend on the severity of pneumonia, his present immunity status and the other co morbid conditions like diabetes. If his vitals are stable now, then with appropriate antibiotics and supportive therapy he should be able to recover well. Good luck with his therapy. Regards.
Avatar f tn If I have had kidney stones before and sometimes get back pain where the kidneys are which is a sign of kidney stones, but it goes away, is it safe to drink ionized alkaline water when you have had kidney problems before? Does it detox too fast for my kidneys or is it safe to detox that way?
