Poll question: What should I be most concerned about, health-wise?

Health-wise?

Thanks!

1. No. 5, because it seems you're not eating what you ought to

And nothing makes for a more miserable existence than lousy food. Cf. my thread on Pizza Hut pizza a while back. :puke:

2. Just drink some green tea

and have a good night's sleep every day. You'll be fine.

3. What's your blood-pressure?

How much fat is in your diet? What's your family's history of diabetes, heart disease and cancer? How much exercise do you get? Do you drink, smoke, take recreational drugs? and if so how often?

4. Interesting...

110/70, the last I recall. Under stress it can get up to 140/98... So I'm probably somewhere in the middle...

Fairly low fat diet, lots of veggies and low fat meats (chicken, turkey, tuna... nothing fried, just grilled or baked). :yum:

Diabetes runs in both sides of my family. Dad has it. Mom's brothers and my nephews on her side have it. I'm amazed I don't have it.

Yes to heart disease. Grandfather on dad's side died at age 56. Dad had one at age 44 but barely survived (nearly died due to unsanitary conditions when applying an IV to deliver some medicine... :scared: ) If mom's right, and heart disease attacks subsequent generations by decade, I reckon I'll get my turn at age 32: Three months from now. :party:

No Cancer, though mom said a couple weeks back that she had to get a mammogram because the doctor she'd seen thought she felt a lump in there... :scared: Won't know the results for a short while, I hope it's not malignant...

Exercise: My job involves a lot of walking around to peoples' computers, though with the web project of recent I have been sitting at my computer 3/4ths of the day.

No drinking.

No ciggies.

No drugs of any sort, apart from advil for muscle pain...

Thx!

I think exercise might be of help... and proper eating habits...

5. lets see...

Constant neck soreness (muscle stiffness)... you worry too much. are your shoulders up or down right now ? up ? I thought so


Two bumps on the back of my scalp. Drained them, but they're growing again... see yer doc but don't panic


Constant paranoia of my department head, with worries of layoffs... unless she's pulling a power play, of course... everyone else says I will be getting on the job training for server-related operati... you worry too much


Giving my telephone # out to 2 strangers on an internet dating service, who first seemed interested but now have disappeared...
phone numbers can be changed, no problem

Needing to eat something often or else get headaches and feel generally icky... you worry too much

The fact I have to wait a month to get "The Piglet Files: Series 2" DVD set (token looney option)... no opinion

Lower right leg cramps up at times, is painful, but subsides for a long while... drink more milk or quinine (milk tastes better)

6. Almost!

Shoulders: Usually down. Feels better when I put them up though...

More moo juice - gotcha. Plain, or as a milkshake loaded with sugar? I've trouble with plain milk... :-(

Thanks for the advice/info! (to all, too)
