They did check it a year ago and it was fine, but I'm still kinda wondering about that. These are the symptoms of hypothyroidism from Wikipedia (in red font are the ones that seem to apply to me): Early Poor muscle tone (muscle hypotonia) Fatigue Cold intolerance, increased sensitivity to...

I didn't want to hijack the Breath Right Strips thread, but it got me thinking, so I'm starting another thread. I am having all kinds of health issues - extremely low energy, hard time working out, immune system issues where I'm constantly sick. In a way, I wish it was all caused by sleep...

I absolutely agree with the sleep apnea test- that's job one. After that, you can look at other options. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea years ago and it saved/extended my life. When I was treated and started wearing a sleep mask, I suddenly had all this energy, literally overnight. I didn't...

I saw that article when it first was published and as a runner who aspires to marathons, I thought it was important information to know. Running does put stress on your knees and the rest of your legs as well. What's been debunked is that running causes arthritis in the knees. Over a long...

I wonder why it said that there is no need to visually represent body fat percentages over 30% - it's like if you have more than 30% body fat you are such a fat cow there's no hope for you and you're too gross to contemplate visually.

Oh dear f**k. I'm so sorry, Weener. And I'm really glad it was caught early. Please let us know how it goes.

I have absolutely no doubt that you could still rock those outfits today, Cathe! I'm sure you'd actually look better in them than you did back then. Didn't I see Lady Gaga in a similar outfit just last week? (Cathe, why are you posting at 2:30am?)

Sorry, I was thinking of Aloe latex, a laxative that irritates the intestine. From the internet: Some common reactions to and side effects from Aloe Vera: The table below outlines some of the most common side effects of Aloe Vera and why they occur. Note that good quality aloe vera...

That was going to be my note- Aloe is toxic to everyone, not just cats!

I have the screw on barbell, and tried the spring locks on it and it worked! Spring locks are super cheap so you may want to try it just to see if it will work for you. It makes a huge difference.

I don't like adjustables. Too bulky, too awkward, I can't get the full range of motion because I have short limbs. However, traditional dumbells are just as expensive as the Selectechs, when you have sets getting up to 45-50#, especially because eventually you need a rack. Just my 40#s and...

Coat it in butter (not to make it taste better, to make it slide easier). Sit down, holding her body across your lap, and securing her under one arm, facing up. Grab the nape of her neck tightly, tilt her head back, squeeze it in through the side of her mouth, making it sure it goes down her...

Okay, I just watched House - the one with the newborn that got her mom's melanoma. Giant freakin' hole through the plot - the mom dies from a pulmonary embolism from two different cancers, they then harvest enough of her blood to keep the newborn alive long enough to eradicate the newborn's...

I love Fresh, a vegetarian chain restaurant in Toronto that has its own cookbooks and is truly awesome. Carnivores I've taken there love it. I also like Freshii.

What's freaky about him?

But you're not single - you're in a relationship. So really, you're in a relationship and happy. Sounds good to me - in fact, it sounds awesome! I think there is something to be said for being in a relationship, beyond the inconvenience. Yes, it is nice getting to watch only what you want...

People do tend to freak out when I tell them the amount of working out I do, as I do get 3-4 hours of physical activity (not necessarily "working out" though) most days, so I'm not surprised at the reaction here. After hearing back from everyone, I have taken the strength circuits out of the...

Thanks Jane. You're hardcore, so if you take rest days, so should I! But I do, I just don't schedule them. I just take them as I need them, only walking on those days. I know that there will be days when I just don't feel like it, so by not scheduling rest days in advance, I don't feel bad...

Thanks, hon, my annual physical is in a few weeks and I will be demanding some answers, that's for sure.

This was really helpful. Thank you. I don't want to stop entirely (actually, I don't want to stop at all!) but I don't want to be sick either!
