My wife complains about my beer belly. She says I look like a wreck and refuses any intimacy with me. I want to get rid of it, but I like beer more than myself. So, I reckoned that if I start running my beer belly will gradually disappear. But I’m not ready to leave beer. What if I don’t stop drinking beer and start running?

Since I was 13 I've been plagued by Candida. I told my mom about it when I first found out what it was and asked her to take me to the doctors. She never did so I thought it would go away on it's own. 2 years later I was sick of it and went to my school nurse for help. She had given me the cream that's inserted deep into the vagina and I had started treatment, but then after one dose, I got my period so I had stopped treatment. I went back to my school nurse and she gave me the pill telling me it would get rid of the symptoms but it never helped. Unfortunately I moved to the country where I was then taught at home and I had no one to go to for help. And so I read online that Greek yogurt helps alot and so I started eating one pot a day like it said as well. That helped with the symptoms but it never got rid of it. I'm 18 now and I have moved back to the city and I have tried the creams twice, but every time I've started bleeding, which is unusual because I had the Jadelle inserted. I am literally stuck on what to do next

After medical review of this for the past 5 years.
---- To rule out cardiovascular disease, for ED is known to be a precursor.
---- Tests showing normal testosterone levels
After my husband's decline in interest intimately for three years preceding that five years.
After venomous denial regarding that the ED was the result of
---- Aging issues, medication (finasteride & HBP meds)
And much emotional hardship, as my husband wanted to truly believe his libido loss was due to one or all of the following:
---- Falling out of love
---- Being in a monogamous relationship
---- Something which his spouse did or didn't do, that he could not quite put his finger on.
Currently, spouse is considering going off finasteride (as a dr suggested) and trying natural remedies for enlarged prostate which includes:
---- Eventually stopping Finasteride (He has to be the one to stop)
---- Taking the following supplements:
Saw Palmetto Extract, Pygeum Extract, Nettles, Pumpkin Seed, Lycopene, zinc
I've just started him on zinc, Pumpkin seed & Lycopene, and will add the Saw Palmetto, Pygeum & Nettle combo soon.
I also plan to put him on L-Arginine which is suppose to assist with erections.
I have scanned the internet and do not see interaction of any of the above sups with that medication, and am tempted to put him on those for a month prior to him consenting to wean off of the Finasteride.
Does this seem a wise course of action, and have any of you gentlemen been on that medication while taking such herbal sups & vites?
Furthermore, have any of you run into other combinations that helped?
My spouse gives up easily, and I want this trial that he has consented to, to have the greatest chance of success possible.
What opened the door to this consenting to try was an 8 year support and sensual support without any demand or expectation from him. I didn't want to shut the door completely on intimacy, so despite insults and hostility, I stayed sensual, supportive and calm.... as I watched out for his physical and emotional health. I Provided massage, tantric touch which included prostate massage, encouragement and the occasional reminder that his erection could still work (when he let me to provide that). **** Ladies, if you can't get his ok, the massage will make him less guarded and then you may have access to provide that sexual release and confirmation he can still orgasm... Massage is great like that.
It's been a very long 8 years. Maybe other people have clearer vision at this point than myself, for I am in an emotional healing recover myself at this point as I continue to offer him support.

I am on week 7 out from surgery on a shaft fracture of the 5th metatarsal. The doctor put 6 pins and a metal bar, in there and no cast. I have been slowly building up to no crutches.
3 days ago was my first day with a cane instead of a crutch.
Stupid cane broke.
I had to walk back home on my heel with no support.
Since then, my foot has swollen, and I have pain in injury. I'm really nervous about this. I want to go get an X-ray but the hospitals are closed for the next two days. Chinese New Year.
How common is it to re-break a bone? And is it more or less likely with the pins? should the pins be removed at some point?

I noticed many whole food vitamins contain
Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
I just found out that I tested highly reactive to, Brewers Yeast.
Does that mean I should stop taking whole food vitamins that contain Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

My partner was diagnosed with IPF in June 2015 when he had terrible breathlessness, horrendous coughing and had lost a stone in weight. For the previous 9 months he was told he had Bronchiectasis. He is now 74 and was always a very fit man working as a part time gardener and going to the gym weight training and running until April 2015 when the breathlessness stopped him. He was referred for a CT scan and an appointment with a consultant. 5 weeks later he had the scan and 6 weeks later saw the consultant. By this time he struggled to walk farther than 20 yards. The consultant arranged for various tests to be done and said he would see him in 6 weeks. He would not give him any medication.Once the tests were done my partner was feeling very ill so I requested an earlier appointment with the consultant, he then required further tests based on the reults of the first ones and would see him in 6 weeks.Time is now marching on and he is quite ill and then he was told to go into hospital overnight as they thought he had a collapsed lung, which he didn't and he was then referred to a specialist and the appointment was 6 weeks later. At this appointment he was put on home oxygen and pirfenidone. 2 months later he had an appointment with the consultant who then said he would see him in 3 months.He has now lost 3 stone in weight, has no appetite and says food tastes like cardboard.We have not been given any support or contact for when things get worse. The pirfenidone does not appear to have made any difference and he is now on oxygen 24/7 and struggles to walk to the cloakroom - about 18 feet. Nobody told us anything about the disease, what to expect etc. At Pulmonary rehab he learned home exercises which was good and I mentioned to the nurse that nobody had explained the disease to us and she gave me a booklet from the BLF to read, something we could have found on the internet.
Last Sept/Oct my partners brother was told he probably had IPF and we told him to keep pushing for appointments in order to get Pirfenidone and not hang about for 6 months like we had to. In January he was referred to a specialist and in early March he was assessed for oxygen. This morning sadly he passed away without seeing the specialist and still not having oxygen.
Why does everything take so long. If you are diagnosed with lung cancer you are usually being treated within about 6 weeks not 6 months.
My partner insisted on being referred for a lung transplant as he saw a story on the BLF site of a man of 71 with IPF, always been very fit and healthy was given lungs and is still going strong.When we went to the specialist hospital it was all negative, too old and no tests were done and they even denied that the op on the 71 year old was carried out in their hospital. When we got home I emailed the story to them but they did not reply.
Everyone should have a chance of life.

I am 18. The past 3 months I've been losing everything and I feel like I'm getting worse. Generally I forget things but lately I misplace my belongings more frequently ( wallet, keys, phone). It also happens at work, in less than 2 weeks i forgot to punch out 3 times. Last weekend I misplaced my wallet 3 times, and today I left my keys in my friend's car. I feel like I have no control at lot, i try so many things and nothing works. I read an article saying that it can be caused by stress(I'm a college student, and part time work) but the fact that I have always been the unattentive one between my Friends makes me wonder if I have ADD.
Side note: My brother has ADHD and I would like to know if my mom having major depression when she was pregnant with us( not twins but one pregnancy right after the other) can influence this.

My father is diagnosed with primary liver cancer with multiple lesions involving caudate, right and left lobe. enhancing thrombus is also seen on left and right portal vein. In a separate CT of the chest, lung nodules are seen and enlarged mediastinal lymph node is seen. He has been put of Sorafenib and doctors say there is no other treatment left
Till now my father is very normal, he has no pain, there is nothing unusual seen except for a little loss of appetite. Doctors have told us he has only 3-6 months left but by seeing him, no one can imagine that. Can someone help me explain what should i expect in future.
