There have been a lot of kids out with H1N1 in the local school districts. It seems to be hitting the Freshman down group fairly hard. Most the of the kids feel icky for a few days, just like Carola's and then recover with out secondary problems. One girl I know was having a bit more...

You know, I have a lot of problems with percentages. This is because I know many people who have had a form of flu, who did not go to the doctor. Since they are saying that if you get a flu right now, it is H1N1, then there are lots of people getting it and recovering. That said, I am NOT...

Where did you get the fact that many that have died did not have underlying conditions, because this is not at all what I have heard.

I have had a flu like H1N1 before, and it did knock me down badly. It took a while to recover. That said, most people are recovering, it takes a couple of weeks, but yes, they will recover. The people who are most dangerous from it are people who have other underlying problems. If your...

Your chances of heart attack are greater in the morning....period. So I say exercise when it fits your schedule and because you are an exerciser, you are decreasing your chances of having a heart attack. Now drinking my morning glass of water, and heading down to exercise at 5 am as I have...

My husband wanted to get our cat declawed. To prevent that, I have done several things. I cap his claws with plastic soft claw caps(he looks like his nails are painted!). However, he can still claw loose tweedy like fabric with those on, just not do as much damage. I found a couple things at...

Taking vitamin C with the iron helps absorption rates.

My touch is worth every penny. It stays with me at all times, music, games and a calendar that syncs automatically on-line, love it.

There are quite a few people on these boards, and some may have dealt with the same issue. If you can save steps when going to the doctor, educating yourself is the way to go. The iron consequences of overdose is short and really does not sound like you. Hemochromatosis(iron poisoning)...

Also, being deficient in some of the B vitamins can appear to be iron deficiency so that could be going on as well. I will check my nutrition textbooks to find what I can about iron UL toxicity, but talking to your doctor and a nutritionist would be a good thing.

It appears that around here, the kids are all getting this before the vaccine is available because of hold-ups with the vaccine.

Autumn, I highly recommend that you schedule a rest day in each week, whether you feel you need it or not. Resting is important to your body and if you are working out intensely, you will do more harm not resting at least once a week. On that rest day, don't plan to rake the leaves, paint the...

I work out most days 2 times a day. It is because it is easier to get what I want done in two parts. So I will do weights in the morning, and swim after work, or the other way around. So it usually equates to 1.5-2 hours total a day. Since my job requires me to sit on my behind 8 hours a day...

Then you must not remember Harry Reid's comments when Bush was president. This sort of thing is always going on. Does it make it right....nope, should not happen on either side.

Iron also absorbs better with Vitamin C, so eating a supplement with something with Vitamin C helps. Iron does have an upper limit that is toxic, so be careful not to exceed that.

I am 5-4, and 145 is a much better weight for me. If I go below 140, I get too thin for my frame. 145 is a size 6 on me.

Oh my gosh of course!! Hee. Actually my sisters and I had a paper route, and we never got driven around for it. My parents felt we got paid to deliver the papers, we had to do it. There were some pretty miserable days delivering papers!

I am a life long resident of Illinois. I would have loved to see Chicago get the Olympics. However I heard back last summer that it was very likely that Rio would get it because of South America never hosting the Olympics. I found it very arrogant of the press to be touting that the fact...

I used to ride my bike to kindergarten and it was almost 2 miles away. Granted, that was the 60's, but the Mom is riding with the kid, come on with the stupid laws. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,559460,00.html

The fellow who had it here came back to work today. He missed 4 days of work, which is a lot. He also ran 102 fever, which if you have ever had this high of a fever as an adult, you know you were a pretty sick puppy!
