COPD
Posted Thursday July 27 2006, 10:09 am
40s - f - uk.
I've recently been diagnosed with COPD which is Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. I also have unstable asthma. Due to this I have to take steroids quite often which makes me put on weight. The extra weight is not good as it puts more strain on my lungs. I am trying to be careful with what I eat. I'm not fat as such, but definitely under height for my weight!
I find it very difficult to exercise, walk far etc, due to the lung disease, but I need some form of exercise to try to keep the COPD at bay as long as possible.
Also, due in part to the steroids I have early onset osteoporosis, so exercise would be good for that as well. Doctors have not really been much help. Any suggestions please?

Cancer...
Posted Thursday July 20 2006, 10:46 pm
Well, I had cancer when I was little. I was 3 and dignoised with Luekiema ((i know i spelled that wrong..) and the type I had was ALL. Very cureable. Well, Lately, I have been throwing up in my mouth, and bruising without hitting myself on anything. It's been happening for maybe 2 weeks? But what is confussing me is the doctor's said I had a 99.9% chance it won't come back. But I'm always at risk to get another kind. WHat I am expeiencing now sounds like the cancer I had. But well, I'm not sure if it's even cancer at all. Can you guys help me, is it cancer? Do I need to see a doctor?

what happens if you finger yourself before you first get your period? Do you get cancer?
Posted Wednesday July 12 2006, 5:34 pm
I was about 7 when i first fingered myself; obviously, i didnt have my period then. I also used the pool jet to masterbate. I didn't know that's what it actually was called or that it could lead to problems later in life. I heard that it can give you cervical cancer. I'm really really scared. Is that true, what is the risk, and would I know if I have cancer by now if i'm 14.
