  It doesnt sound like it could be an ulcer, but maybe your symptoms are atipical. Generally caused by bacteria... Pepto B has mild antiseptic properties and it works for the nausia too. theres a reason its been around so long, it does the trick.

  If nothing works within a week or so, do like was mentioned previously; type in free clinics and your zip. Google is your friend.

  Tom's health advice

  by TD in

  st. matthew attributes the following words to jesus:.

  "when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest and findeth none.

  then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwelleth there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.".

  Old thread

  As side note; if you have a job without health insurance, you may have the cumlitive effect of negecting your body. If medical cost keeps you from the Dr when symptoms start, sooner or later it can be major. Small business may pay you just enough that you can't qualify for medicaid.

  I need to lose 20 pounds

  by Heartbreaker in

  2. friends

  i hate to exercise, therefore i haven't really ever done it, and stuck with it.

  i've had 6 children, and am quite sedentary.

  i get really bad migraines when my blood pressure rises, hence hating excercise.. .

  Something I have been doing is recording my intake and excersize on Fitday dot com. It has a free membership (also a fancy one for $). The free version is plenty good for me.

  I have been counting carbs and doing water excersize (my knees are shot) 4 times a week. It really does help to be accountable to yourself. I try to keep my carb count under 100 grams or so and that means virtually no desserts, bread or potatoes and rice. Most of those foods may not be high cal in themselves but seem to always have fat componants i.e. bread & butter, potatoes and gravy etc. (At least that is the way I like to eat them) My carb splurge is oatmeal cause it really holds me all morning.

  I eat plenty of veggies, berries, between 6-8 ounces of protein a day. Its coming off slowly I have lost 12 lbs since february.

  Edit. Nuts are a little high calory wise, but low in carbs. I love almonds, the wasabi version or cocoa coated ones are really helpful. I eat 30 to 40 a day.. Soooo good!

  How To Date a Corporation

  by sammielee24 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the supreme court recently determined that corporations are entitled to freedom of speech because they are legally persons.

  the ramifications of this decision, citizens united v. federal elections commission, cannot be overstated: it introduces an entirely new and untapped population into the dating pool.. chances are youve never dated a corporation before.

  but dont be intimidated.

  So Everything Was Going Good Until...

  2. friends

  i drew a blank on a particular question.

  i basically had a talk with my parents over the weekend.

  they've been jw's since the 50's and pops been an elder since 83. so i knew it was gonna be hard, but i basically told them to their face that i am no longer going to be a jw and gave a few reasons why.

  Edit to the previos post to say. Revelation was added last, because of the controversy of whether it was inspired or not. It took years!

  PS. Are there FAQs regarding how editing works on this site?
