About askshannon
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thouroughly used up totally worn out screaming "WOO HOO What A Ride!"
I do not know it all, but I feel like I have been through enough experiences to offer some sort of help. I am the person everyone says should be a shrink. I love to give my 2 cents and if it can help in the process all the better. I love to travel and live on a farm with a fantastic family.
Things I feel like I know alot about:
Diets!! I have done them all. I feel pretty confident I can help with most questions on this issue.
Love and Life. I have been there for the most part. There are a few places I haven't been and really don't want to go.
I believe that open minds are the best kind. You can give advice without judgement.
Love, hate, confusion, weight, happiness and mistakes are all part of life. Sometimes you need help. If you want a straight forward sensible answer I will definately give it to you.

I was asked if I had type 1 diabetes or type 2 or no diabetes. I thought there was onyl one diabetes. What's type one and two?
My husband has type 2 diabetes. It is usually comes on later in life due to health reasons in his case it was becasue he was over weight. Type 2 can be controlled as far as I know through proper diet and excercise.
Type 1 is insulin dependant and usually comes on early in life.

I have this weird rash on which started me picking a tiny bubble on my middle finger. Then it got dry and some more tiny bubbles came and spread to my other fingers. I think it's Ezema or Psiasis or whatever they are called. I'm going to the dermatoligist and I need to know something...
Do you have to bring a physical?
Do you take one there? Like height and weight?
Do they draw blood?
I have a pretty sucky insurance it's Kaiser so I'm going there so anyone who has them too and went to the Dermatoligist there please help.
I have this type of eczema. My experience was I went into the doctor and he asked me questions. Looked at the rash and knew right away it was eczema. He gave me a perscription and that was that. I did however have to go back and try some different perscription's to get the right one. I have never heard of anyone having blood drawn or need a physical.
I am sure they will ask some questions possibly height and weight if they intend to give a perscription that info. is needed.

Holy crap. I went to the doctor's yesterday, and they said I weigh 155 pounds! And I'm only 13 and like 5'4. I checked the BMI thingie and I thought before that I was like 130, but like.. woah. I'm like 1 point over normal so now im overweight! ahh! how can I get back in shape? I already do basketball on thursdays and saturdays. and aside from things in school thats pretty much it. how can i get back in shape?????????? i really do not want to get fat.. if im not already not! or real heavy (though i probably am.) im not into doing those things that stupid kids do like be anorexic or bulemic, so thats out of question. but like.. its winter. i cant exactly do all the things i can do in the summer. plus, i have like no backyard (forrest) and alot of homework on weekdays. i think its because i may eat too much. because sometimes i may eat because im bored. but its not like i'll eat chips, because my mom cooks alot of african foods that are good. we dont really go out much but sometimes i guess i eat too much of a good thing. which is why i also bite my nails. should i get gum? but whenever i get it i always finish it in like 1 day. because i kinda feel that i have to be chewing something sometimes.. and i dont want to eat food just because.. when im not really that hungry, or bite off my nails. i dont even notice when i bite them.. but then later i see my nails arent that great and i have bitten them.. but its randomly. any help here? i reaaaally dont wanna get obese in the future!!!! and im a girl.
p.s. thankyou thankyou for helping!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I have to tell you that you seem just like me when I was 13. It sucks to have these thoughts about yourself. I have struggled with my weight my entire life and the thing that I have decided is that where are YOU happy? If you are comfortable at your weight don't let a number change that. If you felt good before you knew how much you actually weighed stay that way. If the doctor told you to lose weight it is best you follow his advice. If you really feel like you want to shed a few pounds find a resource. I love the biggest loser web site it has so much info. and support on it. There are tons of ideas of how to get in shape indoors. A quick way to change how your body is feeling is to stop drinking soda pop. That is a good way to lose excess water and start feeling better.
As far as your nails go try painting them. That may help! Best of luck to you and let me know how you are doing. I would be happy to be a support to you!
