Open Question: Palpitations or an anxiety disorder? I can hear my heart when I go to bed.?

I will get right into the point. I am a 17 year old guy and from what I read online I am suffering from palpitations or an anxiety disorder when I go to bed. Let me explain. When I go to sleep I hear my hear beating. It is a normal steady beat; but it is loud and produces vibrations. It's a feeling everyone gets when they are nervous; you know, your heart beats out of your chest? Well I am nervous when I go to bed which is why it happens. Every night I am nervous that I will not fall asleep and as a result will have a bad day at school. I end up listening to my heart beat all night long and inevitably I don't sleep. Obviously I try to stray my thoughts away from the heartbeat, but they always seem to linger back to it. Interestingly enough, some months I sleep like a baby, and others, the "bad" months, I cannot sleep for days! This is debilitating due to the fact that I am tired everyday for my high school sports team and it's difficult to study when you are going on no sleep - for days. As a result I have heavy rings under my eyes, which do not look that sexy I will say ;]. I exercise 4 times a week and lead a pretty active lifestyle, so in that department I am set. On my "good" months I can drink coffee and other caffeinated drinks all day and still sleep like a baby. On my bad ones I avoid caffeine entirely and still cannot fall asleep. It's obviously a psychological problem; I am nervous to sleep due to me being scared that I will not fall asleep. It's truly a vicious cycle. I am aware that melatonin and magnesium and lavender tea help relax the body but not for me. I have tried breathing exercises but they rarely help. Honestly, it sucks being scared of not falling asleep. It sounds absurd and it is. Living on zero sleep is no joke and I would like to terminate this retarded anxiety as soon as possible. I wish I could ignore these thoughts of not sleeping but they just overcome my mind. I am these are many people with this problem but I cannot find the exact term for it. Neither did I find any medications that help with it. Speaking of medications - if anyone can recommend me any I would prefer for them to be as side effect free as possible. From what I know some medications lead to worse diseases than those they treat! Before you know you might develop chronic insomnia from an anxiety medication, ha! I'm just babbling now, but if anyone, preferably a doctor ;), has any advice, please let me know! I want to overcome this f*cked up, pardon my French, sleep disorder. Thanks more

Open Question: Digital SLR camera bodies..?

Ive done much research and comparing and think that the best camara for me is the new canon 60d coming out .. when ever ? i love the 5.3 fps on it and the tilt 3inch screen.

Do you guys know of any place i could go ..to change that to a magnesium body or is the plastic body unchange-able? i really want the stronger body but i love the features of the 60d. help! more

Resolved Question: help me choose vitamin supplements?

I'm 21, college student with overload school schedule, my bad eating habit is that I don't like veggie and milk. I'm considering some supplements but there are many kinds of them, I'm afraid that taking to many vitamins will harm my body. for sure I will take: Omega 3 Calcium, people said that it should come with Vit-D the others I'm considering are: multivitamins balanced B Vitamin A (working on computer a lot!) potassium (my psy class taught me that we need K+ & Na+ for neurons 'firing' process, I don't like banana by the way) melatonin 3mg (I'm high energy at night, trying to change my body clock, can naturally stay up until 6am if I don't want to sleep) magnesium zinc Vit-C Vit-E folic acid with DHA CoQ10 By the way, I'm currently moving from south to north, literally, from year round warm weather to a brutal winter place. Unfortunately, I have to take classes from a CC and my Uni which add up to 26 credits. Please give me advice on what supplements I should take that benefit me, keep myself physical and mentally healthy, especially for the cold days coming. Thank you very much. more

Open Question: Swollen lymph nodes, joints. Could this be from iodine and magnesium?

So I know a chick who has had problems the last several weeks. She said she's been using castor oil to make the lymph node swelling on her neck go down. She also says her joints have been sore, and some parts swell for awhile, then the swelling goes away. It's been all over though, not at the same time. Right now one of her fingers is swollen and will hardly bend. For a few days, he legs were like that. For awhile she had been taking iodine and magnesium..some "alternative medicine" advice she got. Apparently these two substances are supposed to help rid your body of certain things, like fluoride and mercury. Cleansing, in other words. She said she has stopped taking those since the swelling started. Now she's using castor oil and I don't know what else to help the swelling go down. She's been looking at message boards lately, and getting into the alternative medicine thing lately. She's anti-doctor, and has been so for awhile now. It got worse after her mother died of cancer, and she told me the doctor won't know either, and all he'll do is tell you some bad news and then you're stuck with it. She's getting pretty worried about though, I got very worried after finding out this has gone on for over a month, maybe six weeks or more. I asked her if maybe it was an allergic reaction to either iodine or magnesium, but she says the chances of that are very low. Supposedly few people are allergic to either one, but she doesn't realize that doesn't mean she could be one of the few. She admits she doesn't know what's going on, but doesn't trust the medical profession/insurance industry, etc.Huh...anything else? more

Resolved Question: When is the best time to eat fruit and drink water?

I found this very informative and thought my contacts might want to live a longer life so please read this: EATING FRUIT... It's long but very informative We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat. What is the correct way of eating fruits? IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.... So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach. There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look! KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange. APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke. STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals. ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer. WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes. Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. more

Resolved Question: Pain on my legs prevents me from running?

Ok to be specific, the muscles that are causing my pain are my Achilles tendons and Peroneus Brevis. It is not a cramping feeling, but its more like a shaky tingly feeling. Whenever I run, every step feels weird, like I am about to fall down. I talked to my sergeant about this, he was like "your body is adapting to your intense training, take 1-2 days off". I took 4 days off and this is my 4th day. There is no pain when I walk but it revs up when I run. Main vitamins I take are: D3 (calcium magnesium zinc), dL-Alpha (vitamin e), CoD (liver oil) Supplements: OxyElite pro What should I do now? I start my training again tomorrow :sBTW for me to use oxy on my training tells you that I am doing a killer workouts. The majority of it are cardio based, I wouldn't want my muscles to be used as energy :p more

Voting Question: 34 Weeks Pregnant and Cramping?

I am now 34 weeks pregnant with my first baby. When I was 32 weeks I went into premature labour and they stopped it. I had a magnesium drip and steroid shots to help his lungs. I was 2 cm dialated then and i bled everytime they checked me so I'm guessing that I lost my mucous plug. I've had braxton hicks that range from 4-7 mins so IDK if I'm in early labor or not because recently I've had cramping that would rate a 10 on a 10 pain scale. It feels like I'm tearing down there and it doesnt go away when I change positions but it goes away sometimes when I fall asleep. Last night tho it woke me up and it got to the point where I felt sick from the pain. The baby has been dropping some more so IDK if he's dropping too quickly for my body to adjust. I'm wondering if that's what the cramping means. Has anyone gone through this b4? And if so what happened? I really want to know if i'm in labor again... more

Resolved Question: Palpitation, Tachycardia, Electrolyte/ Mineral imbalance?

Hello :) I am a female 19 y.o and ive been experiencing tachycardia and palpitation for years. Also just to add information, i have GERD, sleep apnea, spasmophilia, insomnia, respiratory problem (dont know whats the cause). In earlier times its not this bad so evidently it got worse unfortunetly which worries me. Did ECG, ECHO, holter monitor 24 hours, t3 t4 tsh tests but didnt find the cause. Now im on beta blocker (propranolol) for years although didnt really help much but ive no other choice but to take it. It could happen almost all day and i cant do normal activities. I dont know what i should do anymore and its really bad and frustrated me. I really cant find the cause and the cure. I read about mineral defiency, electrolyte imbalance, hormonal imbalance have something to do with it. Because a lot of people said they experienced that and it has helped them. But how do i know if i have this imbalance situation going on? Which one is high and which one is low and how much should i take? I cant just take all of them (calcium, magnesium, potassium,vit b) because if i ended up getting it too high/imbalance then it will make it worse. And does the electrolye/mineral level change everyday in our body? Ive been on calcium, magnesium and kalium test but the result was in normal range. But i read on some site when i was googling that it could appear normal but doesnt mean you dont have any defiencies. It doesnt always accurate and theres an explanation but i forgot. Also i read that cayenne pepper and mother tincture would help but the other said the opposite which confused me. If anyone knows any information related to it, please help. I would truly appreciate it, thanks. :D more

Resolved Question: How can this be right?

OK - so i have a query re: dosage of magnesium. RDA is 350mg per day. I have some tablets at home (magnesium chloride) - they are 50mg each and are from Higher Nature. They are 'true food' so better absorbed by the body apparently. They say one 50mg tablet is the equivalent of a 200mg tablet for this reason. Here is what I don't understand: If I took 100mg as an example. Compared to another magnesium product, their 'true food' magnesium might enable the body to absorb 80% of the 100mg where as another brand might only provide 20% absorption.  This would mean that their 'true food' product is 4 times more effective. You could equate this to the tablet being comparable to a 400mg tablet because you would have to take that much of the other 'brans' to get the equivalent benefit.  However, as effective as 'true food' tablets are, there still is only physically 100mg in the tablet, therefore surely my body would be getting 80mg of magnesium? So, surely I still need to take the actual mg dosage for the RDA - 350mg or 7 of their 'true food' tablets. Am I missing something? They are adamant that a 50mg is the same as a 200mg... more

Resolved Question: chest cramps after alcohol?

ok, so i had alot of alcohol yesterday, much more than i usually drink. soo, just for the potentially useful information: first, some of the drinks i had were litterally sugar bombs, and i felt a strange feeling in my pain yesterday as well. I thought it might have been a sugar overdose. But this is worse. second, i threw most or all of it up afterwards, so as to not get too hung over. Then i wake up this morning, feeling pretty good. BUT, every few minutes i get this cramps in my chest, in the center, in the front of the body. Every few minutes, it gets hard to breathe, and there is a small feeling of throwing up. It only lasts for like 5 seconds, but maybe it can get worse? I looked it up on google, and it was suggested that i lack magnesium, or that i "forget to breathe"... anyone have a better explination? more

Resolved Question: Questions about Doxycycline for doctors, nurses, students or scientists...?

I've been on Doxycycline since Thursday last week for a staph infection in my nose (I've also got a saline/mupirocin compound spray). The Doxycycline is making me pretty nauseated for about 45 minutes after I take it. My ENT said to take it with food so it doesn't bother my stomach, but the pharmacist says that reduces the efficacy and it will bind with certain minerals that are in most foods (calcium, iron, magnesium). I have a few questions: 1. If I continue to take this without food, as directed on the package, will it harm my stomach? I have 2 more weeks left. 2. If I throw up after taking it, do I have to take another one? I get postnasal drip, which makes me cough and gag, and well, if you're already nauseated and you cough and gag.... happened this morning. Nice. 3. What else in my body will this stuff kill? It's a 100 mg dose. Thanks to anyone who can answer these for me while I wait for my next doctor's appointment on the 21st. more

Resolved Question: Weird, persisting symptoms & anxiety after taking yohimbe?

Hi, I'm a 23 yr old male, healthy weight, and have been exercising regularly for a couple of years and eat very healthy (high quality saturated and unsaturated fats, limited supplements, whole grains, fish, some dairy). My family doesn't have any history of mental or physical problems, and I've been very healthy, until now. Back in Nov. 09, I started taking a men's multivitamin that had some herbs in it. One of these herbs was yohimbe. I should have researched all of the ingredients, but didn't. I was taking 1/2 of the recommended dosage (1 pill, whereas 2 were recommended) daily and everything was fine. The yohimbe dosage was 80 mg of yohimbe bark, not extract, and not yohimbine. In January 2010, I went to Greece for 3 weeks. After 2 months of taking the pills, I started experiencing a weird chest pain, on the left side. It usually came at night and lasted anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. It was very mild, more like a pressure. I didn't think much of it. Once I got back to the USA, it was on and off. Sometimes it would be there, sometimes not, and it wasn't associated with physical activity. On Feb. 11, the chest pain was getting worse and worse and it wasn't going away. I took some aspirin, and took my vitamin. It was still there. Quite suddenly, while on the computer, I had a "dizzy" spell where everything seemed to blur, I felt serious palpitations, anxiety, and felt my blood pressure going up. It was at 160/100 once I got to the emergency room. After a chest x-ray, blood samples, urine samples, etc., they found nothing. Next day, same thing -- and same results. I couldn't sleep for days, had anxiety, fatigue, and basically all of the symptoms associated w/ yohimbe toxicity, except for the worst ones. I looked up people's experiences and they were identical, although they took much higher dosage than me. My issue is that I was taking it for 2 1/2 months. In Feb. and March, I've had serious on/off anxiety, fatigue, and chest pain to the point where I sometimes couldn't do much. It was cyclical, as I'd often feel almost normal. This was accompanied by nausea, kidney, and lower back pain, again cyclical. I generally feel much better now, but sometimes get the chest pain (much milder than it was in the hospital), sometimes associated w/ activity, often not, sometimes worse when I breathe in deeply/move, sometimes not. I feel anxious at times, but do not have any panic attacks. I feel a strange "heaviness" in my head, but don't really get dizzy or weak... just, I guess, a sense of malaise. Again, these things are cyclical... I can be very good for a couple of weeks, and then suddenly get nauseous, a bit faint, anxious, and experience chest pain. I went to the cardiologist, got multiple tests done, and everything is normal. The pain is on the left side and rarely on the right, never in the middle, never traveling to other parts of the body. I had multiple blood, urine, sonogram tests, cardiograms, etc., all were normal. So, 1) Has anyone experienced yohimbe-related toxicity? 2) How would I make these symptoms go away? I tried cod liver oil, cordyceps, garlic, cayenne, coconut oil, magnesium, holy basil, apple cider vinegar, among others. In general, they must have helped, or my symptoms went away by themselves. 3) Is it possible these are symptoms of something else? They seem to match yohimbe experiences, and yet it's rare for them to persist for so long (5 months now). It's also strange that they are so inconsistent, although I've read of marijuana users who develop random physical and psychological symptoms that come in waves, often without expectation, even after some time of feeling normal. 4) Could it be some kind of parasite? In Greece, I ate some oatmeal in a restaurant that, I later noticed, had a moving worm in it. It looked like some ordinary maggot, but since I started feeling the chest pressure a few days after this, it's possible. I have not lost any weight (in fact, I gained about 7 lbs). But, it would be strange if a parasite would start out w/ mild chest pressure and nothing else. 5) Could it be a magnesium deficiency on top of the yohimbe? I used to take calcium supplements and consumed A LOT of dairy, including cheese. I even had tiny kidney stones in January that the doctor saw, although I eliminated them before I had to pass anything. I started taking about 900 mg of magnesium taurate, citrate, chloride (spray), and malate for about a month now, I generally feel better, but don't know if that's b/c of the magnesium deficiency or coincidence. Perhaps I should increase the dosage? Thank you. more

Resolved Question: look what i found out about watermelon during pregnancy :]?

im just sitting here eating a bowl of watermelon and due to my curiosity i decided to look online about it and found this little juicy information :] If you're pregnant, the benefits are even more delicious. Watermelon eases heartburn and reduces swelling; its high water content (92 percent) and fruit sugars alleviate morning sickness and dehydration; and the minerals it contains can help prevent third-trimester muscle cramps. Ounce for ounce, watermelon is richer than tomatoes in lycopene, an antioxidant that protects against cancer and cardiovascular disease, boosts the body's immunity to infections and naturally raises the skin's Even better news for pregnant women: A 2003 study in the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics found that daily lycopene supplements reduced the incidence of preeclampsia by 50 percent. Test subjects were given 4 milligrams of lycopene; a single serving of watermelon can have triple that amount. What's more, scientists have discovered that watermelon is packed with vitamins A, C and B6, as well as potassium and magnesium. These nutrients are important for the development of your baby's vision, brain, nervous and immune systems, and more. For you, potassium regulates water balance in the blood and body tissues during pregnancy. And you get all these benefits for less than 50 calories per cup. With its plentiful health perks and juicy, refreshing taste, watermelon is one of summer's most perfect nutritional packages. Try it in these sweet and savory recipes. An Easy Way To Ease Nausea Some pregnant women swear that watermelon is all they can keep down when morning sickness kicks in.i decided to share this because it could help alot of people with muscle cramping etc through pregnancy more

Resolved Question: taking supplements while working out?

I have Super Advanced Whey Protein by Body Fortress and Myoplex that I bought from Walmart and I was wondering if it was safe to take them both at the same time after working out. I know you can harm your body by taking too much of the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) but I read you can also harm your body by taking too much minerals also. The whey protein doesn't have vitamins, but it does have minerals (21% Calcium, 7% Iron, 18% Phosphorus, 16% Magnesium, 2% Zinc, 10% Copper, 15% Potassium) Myoplex (100% Calcium, 15% Iron, 90% Phosphorus, 60% Magnesium, 70% Zinc, 15% Copper and 25% Potassium). So my question from all of that, is if I would work out, then drink the whey protein and then the myoplex, is if it would be too much combined?I have both supplements because I don't get enough protein from foods, so by adding 52 grams from one and 42 from the other, I can get enough protein to gain muscle. more

My friend of 9 years takes care of his body extremely well..Taking vitamins flax fish oil,b-50complex magnesium,Etc..Works out but still likes to smoke the occasional bowl of meth.

He will put it down I know him very well - he's beaten cigarettes after 4 years cold turkey,xanax addiction,Goes right back to hitting the gym and reading health books like it never happened. I dont think that'll be enough to sink his cheekbones in,rott his teeth or give him scabs or do any real damage as long as he actually DOES put it down for a while,comes back long time later just for fun right?

Voting Question: Whats up with the Lyme's disease community?...rife machines...natural remedies?

I have some friends whose family as a whole "suffer" from Lyme's disease. The mom has all these crazy natural remedies like french green clay and magnesium that supposedly help treat the symptoms of Lyme. They even use whats called a RIFE MACHINE. That thing just creeps me out. I've been around it while its on and it sure as hell doesn't feel normal. I've even researched the thing and it's supposedly illegal. What is up with them? It's like they are desperate to avoid the doctor and would rather try untested methods rather than see a doctor (yes, i know there are limited treatments available for Lyme). The rife machine i think is just a gag that doesn't work, and if it did work wouldn't they use it in hospitals.I just don't see how having a concentrated frequency of magnetic waves surging through your body could be helpful, in fact if anything i think it would be harmful.

Resolved Question: When should I take my vitamins?

I am trying to be healthy and start taking care of my body after several years of smoking and drinking. I am hoping these supplements will help me feel better as I clean myself up. I am a male, 28, 5'10", 208 lbs. I am taking several supplements a day now which are a multivitamin, omega 3s, calcium + d3, and magnesium. Here is my planned schedule. Please tell me if this combination will work well and if I am taking them at the best time. After breakfast: 2 omegas (200dha each) and 1 calcium/d3 (500mg each). Reason for this is that I just drink an orange smoothie for breakfast (I'm not very hungry during breakfast time) and I read that citric acid helps with calcium absorption. After dinner: 1 multivitamin, 1 fish oil, and 1 magnesium (400mg). The reason I take the multivitamin and magnesium after dinner is because I drink that orange smoothie for breakfast, which is why I take the calcium for breakfast, and I read that calcium can reduce the absorption of several vitamins and magnesium when taken together. I prefer to takes these supplements just twice a day. Will this combination of supplements be compatible with each other? I wonder if the multivitamin is being taken too late in the day, or does it really matter? Do you have a better recommendation? Thank you :) more

Resolved Question: If nutritional supplements are "dangerous", then where are the bodies?

A counter-question to Dave question. (OMNS, January 19, 2010) There was not even one death caused by a dietary supplement in 2008, according to the most recent information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System. The new 174-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, published in the journal Clinical Toxicology, shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin. Additionally, there were no deaths whatsoever from any amino acid or herbal product. This means no deaths at all from blue cohosh, echinacea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, kava kava, St. John's wort, valerian, yohimbe, Asian medicines, ayurvedic medicines, or any other botanical. There were zero deaths from creatine, blue-green algae, glucosamine, chondroitin, melatonin, or any homeopathic remedies. Furthermore, there were zero deaths in 2008 from any dietary mineral supplement. This means there were no fatalities from calcium, magnesium, chromium, zinc, colloidal silver, selenium, iron, or multi-mineral supplements. Two children died as a result of medical use of the antacid sodium bicarbonate. The other "Electrolyte and Mineral" category death was due to a man accidentally drinking sodium hydroxide, a highly toxic degreaser and drain-opener. No man, woman or child died from nutritional supplements. Period. http://orthomolecul ar.org/subscribe .html http://orthomolecul ar.org/resources /omns/index. shtml more

What does it mean when there is more disease on the left side of the body? I've had 4 benign tumors all on the left side...and the majority of my pain is concentrated on left side of body. An acupuncturist and iridologist has confirmed this to me, I didn't tell them of this beforehand. A nutritionist said also something about one side of the body had to do with calcium and the other with magnesium? Question: HOW DO I BALANCE AND PREVENT MORE OR WORSENING DISEASE?I'm asking because this I thought this is a valid question and answer site. There are professionals in these subject catagories listed or not? If not then why have these catagories?Listen pls, people....I have been to an oncologist and have had the tumors removed, but of course I don't ask my oncologist about ayurvedic or alternative medicines, that is why I ask here in this catagory, so if you don't know this answer don't just type criticisms in order to recieve points, pls, thank you.Thank you very much, redangel, i've researched what you advised and it is a help in adjusting my diet. It is very close to what my acupuncturist advised some time ago. Can you pls enlighten me about the pain concentration on the left side? Rita Rudner made a joke of her husband having that issue, but i've know others also who have that issue, besides me. Someone we know who has that issue but on the right side...but she is left handed. There are others of us with pain and disease mainly on one side of the body are right handed. So i'm very curious about what causes that and how to balance that. more

Resolved Question: Should I get a Canon Rebel T2i or a Canon 7D?

I have $1,300 and I want to buy a camera. I can either buy a Canon Rebel T2i that will be all my own, or have a partnership with my father and split the cost 50/50 for a Canon 7D. I feel that I will have more freedom with the T2i but then again, the 7D has more features, and the weather resistant magnesium body. Do the Dual DIGIC 4 processors in the 7D make that much of a difference compared to the single DIGIC 4 processor in the T2i?

I have just come off yasmin birth control after 3 years.

I am also having hot flashes at night. i havent had a period since coming off the pill. I have been reading up on it and apparently my insomnia/hot flashes may be caused my a lack of estrogen and therefor lack of magnesium absorption in my body which is important for sleep and relaxation. I also have constant muscle twitches in my legs. Is there ANYTHING i can do or take to help with my body to become normal again? I have heard of the herb vitex or magnesium supplements, any idea?
