View 8 RepliesAnyone know any safe exercises I can do? I'm only like 5 weeks but my 1st is 10 months and I haven't lost all the weight from my 1st pregnancy. I gained a lot.
View 5 RepliesDo you have to walk or exercise for you to go into labor because I really just stay inside most of the time.The only moving I do is clean.
View 6 RepliesSo how are we expected to exercise when we're so tired? I'm 22w,2d and always exhausted. I get less than an hours worth of energy a day. If I try to push past that I feel very ill. Even light stretching or reading a book is to much. I've only had maybe two weeks this whole pregnancy that I felt normal energy wise. Anyone else going through this? If so, how do you get anything done? How do you exercise? And no, naps don't help replenish me.

View 2 RepliesSo I am a type 1 diabetic where I take insulin injectables for my insulin needs. I have taken shots for as long as I remember, well now I am 15 years old and my mom is diabetic. I see that she takes pills for her diabetes. She says she is type 2 diabetic. I want to know why she can take pills and I have to take shots? She is on Metformin so I would like to forego the shots and take the pills.
I would like the effects of the Metformin so I know how it would help me with my diabetes. I want to start on it as soon as I can. I would be able to go places without having to take a shot all the time. I need to go to somewhere private and leave my friends when I do my shot.
With the medication I don't have to do that. Does anyone know about Metformin and can tell me about the side effects and stuff?
I'm 17 weeks and I have gestational diabetes and it is getting worse , what type of diets are out there that I can take?
View 7 RepliesI am about 34 weeks pregnant and type 1 diabetic. I am wearing an insulin pump for insulin therapy while I am pregnant. So I have a question. I am concerned about insulin therapy by pump. I heard that patients gain a lot of weight on a pump. I do not want to get any fatter than I am. What can I do to prevent getting fat? I walk up and down the street but since it has gotten cold, I don't do that anymore.
View 1 RepliesI have type 2 diabetes and I am pregnant. I need to know about pregnancy insulin requirements. Some of my friends tell me I need more insulin and other tell me I should stay the same. Is there anyone out that is pregnant or was pregnant that has/had diabetes type 2? I'm a little concerned about this and not sure what to do. My husbands tells me I'm a worry wart especially about my pregnancy but I don't think he realizes that being diabetic and and being pregnant is high-risk business.

View 1 RepliesAfter a mild episode of unstable angina I had a single stent inserted in 2010. Since then I take the usual quartet of ramipril (2.5 mg), bisoprolol (2.5 mg), aspirin and simvastatin. I started Phase 4 rehab in January 2011 and now go to the Gym 2/3 times a week. The man aerobic component is a 20 minute row. I was advised not to allow my heart rate to exceed 75% of [220 -73 (my age) -30 = ] 97 but as I became fitter the average HR during rowing is 105 and the peak 111-113.
I feel fine, have never experienced any cardiac symptoms and the HR drops below 80 within 60 secs of stopping.
Am I taking a big risk? If not are there guidelines on HR during exercise for people like me?
I also have Parkinson's (no tremor) and exercise is very helpful in maintaining lung function and muscular tone so I have two reasons for exercising!
I got diagnosed today by a dermatologist after ten days of suffering and wrong diagnoses by GPs. He gave me some Elocon to apply but did say that steroids usually have little/no affect and keep using calamine. He also gave me Atarax 25mg tablets as I told him I have been taking double doses of Piriton antihistamine at night to help me sleep and stop me itching with no effect. He said that I should also moisturise with E45 on top of any topical treatment.
He did however say something that contradicts a lot that I see on the internet. He said I can continue to take baths, saunas and exercise as this does not affect the condition. The internet is full of warnings against this.
Has anyone had it and continued to exercise? I have become a real gym bunny for once and don't want to stop training til this thing goes.
Thanks for advice re head and shoulders. I just applied some in the shower and then went for 4mins on the sunbed. I am fair skinned and burn easily but seem fine from it. ! I am desperate for this thing to go and have bought an immune-boosting multivitamin.
I had my nose cauterized not even 3 hours ago, it was the left side and I have the right side due in two weeks. Since I got home I've been researching what I can expect etc and I've read a few articles that suggest avoiding exercise for the next week or two? Is this necessary? I go to the gym 6 days a week and do a mixture of long runs, short and intense interval runs, weights and core work. When can this be resumed? I also train in boxing however I was fully expecting to have to put this on hold for however long it takes for my nose to heal but when will I be able to carry on with this and get hit without risking undoing what the doctor has done to my nose? On a separate note, my nose is quite sore, its extremely runny and I feel like I have a cold, when can I expect to feel like my normal self?
View 1 RepliesI was doing exercise on Xanax and after 3 months my body fell apart. Heart hurt w/ palpitations, could no longer digest properly, breathing became difficult and labored throughout the night and day. Esophagus problems. Saw MANY doctors, no one could help me! I thought I was dying. I found the cause to be 0.25MG of Xanax! I thought I was going to die with all of the symptoms my body was displaying. Cost me $40,000 dollars for all the specialists I went to see. No one could help me. When I got off Xanax my body slowly came back. Do yourself a favor and stay away from XANAX. This is a very dangerous drug!
View 1 RepliesI have Sciatica with a lot of bulges and other misc. sundries, and am being supervised by an orthopedist. With his blessings I am being treated by an acupuncturist with quite good results. Recently, the acupuncturist told me that I can no longer do "exercise " walks which I used to do for 35 minutes/ day at a hard pace because the disks between the lumbar vertebra are very narrow to non-existent. She says casual walking is fine, but that doesn't offer much exercise. She is suggesting that I find something else. Was wondering what else is there. I don't swim; she is thinking about a commercial health club . Any thoughts? Any possibilities she could be wrong on this? She has seen the MRI report.
View 9 RepliesI'm 4 weeks in after a stapedectomy. Got advice to avoid lifting but also as much exercise as possible for the next month still (except for walking). Any ideas on what other mild exercise I could do? Anyone had difficulties with exercise after stapedectomy/ or want to tell how did it go with it afterwards and what kinds of exercise they did/do?
