Whenever I take a shower or bath lately my chest/throat get really tight and it feels like I can't breathe. Lots of coughing. Obviously I'm able to breathe enough to not pass out etc., but my chest just feels unbearably tight. Tonight was the worst it's been so I'm a little worried. I've never had asthma, it doesn't happen during runs or anything, just in my bathtub. I feel fine now. Any idea what could be causing this?
Does anyone know what the surprise gift is that comes with Stuffies?!?!?!?!?!?!? I'm thinking of getting one for my nephew, and this surprise item could make or break this decision.
I am concerned about my mom. She's only 61 but has a lot of health problems and her COPD is getting worse. She is also very stubborn. My dad died over 10 years ago so she's been living by herself for a while. I am worried because she hasn't been putting much effort into cooking for herself at home as evidenced by weight loss and decreased appetite. (I work in medicine and I am worried there is something more serious going on, but she keeps these things to herself and refuses to let us in on it.) She has expressed interest in Meals on Wheels, but I am not sure she qualifies because she's not 100% homebound. I would move her in if she would let me or cook for her every single day but I live in NC and she lives in Michigan. Do you know of any senior meal programs that can deliver meals regularly?
My recruiting office is doing a white elephant exchange. I have no idea what to get. It can be a gag (as long as it's appropriate and not in the shape of a weapon, since this is a military recruiting office) or serious, $20 max.
My best friend is dealing with a LOT. I won't get too into it, but at 25 she's taking care of both of her parents who are pretty sick, her teenaged nephew, plus herself, boyfriend, and 4 dogs. And she works full time. Her mom is constantly in and out of the hospital and when she's home, my friend is home with her, doing all of the cooking and the cleaning.
I need to do something for her, as she's falling apart and I feel like a nervous breakdown is upon us, but it's hard because I have NO money. Everything I can think of (hiring someone to clean the house, buying some food for them or buying food to cook for them, etc.) costs money. All I can offer her is my support and company but I want to do more.
Any ideas as to what I could do for her? I'm trying to think of something creative but I'm failing miserably.
do you donate blood? why or why not? what's your blood type?
I try to donate but almost every time, my iron count is like a point or two below the minimum requirement. I've only been able to successfully donate blood once. I'm A+.
MY neighbour is blasting his music. I have misophonia so noises piss me the fuck off. I'm resisting pounding on his walls. We own our townhouses so no landlord. And he's fucking scary. He screamed at me for smoking on my deck with my friends.
Hey! I have a super busy schedule with work & school full time, a 7 year old who has after school activities, and life! I gained ALOT of weight in two years (45 lbs on a five foot two frame). I recently started working out, and lost 15. I'm working hard to get it back down. I do lack sleep. I usually get 3-6 on a average night. A lot of people have suggested I take advocare spark, or plexus slim drink. It helps provide energy while assisting weight loss. Can anyone recommend these?!
