I was reading an article this morning that morning sickness can be anywhere from being a little nauseated, to throwing up (obviously) but in between I read that other things are considered morning sickness too such as dizziness, shortness of breath, and feeling like you’re suffocating.

So, did you have some, none, all?

Because I’ve been worried about my lack of morning sickness; however, I’ve head mild nausea but a WHOLE lot of shortness of breath so just wanted to know what was your specific morning sickness and how long did it last?

I am 22 and applying for my first health insurance. I do not need much medical services, and want a low affordable premium. However, when I look at sites such as Blue Cross, it seems that low premiums go with high deductibles. I don’t think I would ever meet the yearly deductible, and thus, cannot get any health services covered. So what is the point of such a plan? Thanks.

My aunt is mentally ill. A doctor told her she is schizophrenic and she got mad at him. She says things that don’t make any sense. Everyone else in my family doesn’t want to tell her to get help. She lost her job a few months ago and has been living with a relative who is getting out of patients with her. What can i do to hep her?

I belong to a health club this summer that has a Sauna and steamroom. They are really relaxing, but are they good for you otherwise? The sauna is 180 degrees, and the steamroom is 110 degrees, so they make you sweat a lot, and lose a lot of water, so unless they are good for you I don’t want to use them.

Band: Lifelover Album: Erotik Song: Sweet Illness Of Mine Lyrics: The whiskey bottle’s almost empty as well as the pack of smokes Been awake for several days now, haunted by the memories My heart has become colder than this room, long time since I felt joy or happiness All of the roses you planted have lost their touch and faded away Thinking back on the good times we had, when we would laugh The wind blew in your hair as we drove across the country Not even all of the world’s whores can satisfy me anymore I’ve lost the spark and light, nothing to hold close to my heart I keep staring at the chromed .45, lying on the living room table A moment of silence…

But he has never seen a doctor before. They all want to see him but he doesn’t feel well. After all, if you are too sick to go to work what would make you feel better to see a doctor?
What other options if any are there?

My wife is pregnant and we are looking for coverage while I am in-between jobs. We don’t qualify for access because my wife will make too much and COBRA is expensive but it is the only option that I seem to have because all other insurance companies say that pregnancy is a “pre-existing” condition. Does anyone know of any temporary health insurance I could use? I’d also rather not get a discount plan.

There must be an exact definition for the sick. By sick do we mean someone who is not like the majority and is harmful for others, and sickness in the thing that caused the person to be different and harmful? But this is not a good definition, I think.
What is the scientific definition for sickness and the sick? What do physicians mean by calling someone, sick?
The point is that what do we mean by ‘abnormal’!!!

I eat organic/gluten free because I have an Autistic child and one with Celiac’s. I figure if they need a special diet I may as well lead by example. My son is vegetarian simply because he chose to be. Before switching the whole family to veg. to support him better, what are the health benefits?

How can I avoid a work mate who is ill mannered? We are both in management position and in same section. Sometimes I get so fed up I wish to change job, but I do not want to resign just for him… Any idea. Please help.

My mother recently changed jobs so i lost my health insurance. I’ve never actually looked into insurance because it was always already there for me (which was stupid of me not to do). Which is the best insurance to have in terms of coverage and cost?
My school has blue cross blue shield… are they any good?
I live in South Florida by the way.

We recently got a 6 week old kitten. However, we have an 11 month old baby. My wife needed to know if the baby can get any type of illness or disease if he plays with the kitty. Serious answers only.

I was recently fired, and now I am pregnant. Since I now have a much lower income what are my options for cheaper or free health insurance? I know theirs medicaid I was wonder if theirs any other options. Can any one help me out? I am freaking out about my unborn child’s health.

My two front teeth feel extremely sensitive right now to the point that it stings. I do not have dental insurance, but I have complete health insurance. Because I’m not worried about my teeth’s aesthetic issues, is there a way to get this billed at the hospital under my health insurance?

I am 8 weeks pregnant, and I got morning sickness (nausea and vomiting) before completing even 4 weeks. My morning sickness is gradually getting worse and worse with each passing day, and I have a constant bad taste in my mouth and an umcomfortable nauseous feeling.

I am wondering when this is going to get better. How long did it last for you? Any personal experiences?

I am trying to figure this out. I grew up in Southern California, and got sick fairly often. Moved to Colorado near Denver, didn’t get sick that often and now I am back visiting family here in So Cal and am sick again. Any ideas why someone would get sick much more often in a place with very little temperature changes vs one with more extreme temperature shifts? Thank you.

I am never ill at school – I’ve never had a day off ill. But literally the second I get on holiday I come down with, usually, an awful cold. Is this just amazingly unlucky or can I avoid it? Is my immune system lower or something?
