Answer: Hey Sophia,
Doctors tell you part of the story...girl it might take your body just a little longer to readjust to the fact that you are eating. Drink ensure various flavors I am a 10 yr survivior it took me what seemed like forever to shed my skeleton look, have your docs given you an appetite stimulator.All the drugs that invaded your body on your road to recovering from cancer have taken their toll. Continue to eat all your favorite foods,if you are comfortable eating q 2hrs stick with that,once your body gets over the shock you wil be fine. You will continously be in my prayers.Doctors have the conception that they have all the answers.....their job was to get you through the surgery,mission complete.........God has been in control from day one.You will pickup weight thats a given.Hugs/prayers

Question: Health issues are causing me to move into parents house, can i legally break a lease for health reasons? I have been diagnosed with several health issues that require me to be under supervision and I will need to move back into my parents home. Is there a way that I can legally end a home rental lease? I can have my doctor show proof? Please tell me what my options are.
Answer: Unless you can prove that your health issues stem from the property you dwell in, you can't break the rental lease. You might try subleasing. Or try talking to the landlord about your situation. Your landlord might not want to have someone with your health condition in his/her property... You might get lucky and have to pay just a month or two worth of rents to get out.
Question: What are some health issues affecting Chesapeake Bay Retrievers? I am interested to buy another dog. I wish to have a breed other than a Great Dane. Actually I love the personality of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever but I am worried about the health-related issues of this breed. Can you tell me some of the diseases that affect a Chesapeake Bay Retriever? How long will they live?
Answer: In addition to the health issues mentioned by Hooch and Hayley, Chessie dogs could also develop Eczema, Retinal Atrophy and von Willebrand's disease. These, of course, are just a few of the many health issues that affect the Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. However, with regular visits to the vet, your new Chessie could live a long and healthy dog life. Which brings me to your next question on how long they live: Most Bay Retrievers live anywhere from 10 to 12 years.
Goodluck with your new pet!
Question: Should I discuss health issues with a new employer before starting the job? I have just discovered that I may have some serious health issues. At this point I need to have more tests done before I know what the problem is for sure and what options I have available to me. I am not sure if I should discuss this with my new employer before I have started to work for them. I need some advice on how to handle this.
Answer: i think you should at least warn them.
how about going to them and saying look, i'm sorry but i have just found out that i may have a serious health issue but won't know until i have had more tests done.
it is not certain yet and in really want this job but feel you should be aware of the situation. i will let you know as soon as i know and hopefully it will not be anything.
good luck and i hope they are reasonable. they should at least give you a chance and if you do not have a serious problem then all will be well.
i personally think honesty is the best policy and if nothing else they will respect you for telling them.
if they decide not to take you on then it is their loss and would you really want to work for such a company any way.
remember when one door closes another opens.
Question: Where do I start when my anger/anxiety issues are affecting my health and relationship? I have always had anger/anxiety issues, but recently, I have come to a point where I can no longer deal with them on my own. A friend suggested starting with a general practitioner, as I am having health issues stemming from my anger/anxiety, such as headaches, weight gain, and stomach trouble. Is this the best place to start? I've made an appointment for this coming Monday. What should I tell this doctor?
Answer: When to seek medical advice
Feeling shy at parties or nervous about giving a speech doesn’t necessarily mean you have social anxiety disorder. If your fears or anxieties don’t really bother you, you may not need treatment. For instance, you may not like making speeches but you do so anyway without being overwhelmed by anxiety.
What sets social anxiety disorder apart from everyday nervousness is that its symptoms are much more severe and last much longer. Social anxiety disorder disrupts your life, causes you distress and affects your daily activities.
Common, everyday experiences that may be difficult to endure when you have social anxiety disorder include:
Using a public restroom or telephone
Returning items to a store
Interacting with strangers
Writing in front of others
Making eye contact
Entering a room in which people are already seated
Ordering food in a restaurant
Being introduced to strangers
Initiating conversations
Social anxiety disorder symptoms can change over time. They may flare up if you’re facing a lot of stress or demands. Or if you completely avoid situations that would usually make you anxious, you may not have symptoms. Although avoidance may allow you to feel better in the short term, your anxiety is likely to persist over the long term if you don’t get treatment.
Tests and diagnosis
When you decide to seek treatment for symptoms of possible social anxiety disorder, you may have both a physical and psychological evaluation. The physical exam can determine if there may be any physical causes triggering your symptoms.
There’s no laboratory test to diagnose social anxiety disorder, however. Your doctor or mental health provider will ask you to describe your signs and symptoms, how often they occur and in what situations. He or she may review a list of situations to see if they make you anxious or have you fill out psychological questionnaires or self-assessments to help pinpoint a diagnosis.
To be diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, someone must meet criteria spelled out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This manual is published by the American Psychiatric Association and is used by mental health professionals to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Criteria for social anxiety disorder to be diagnosed include:
A persistent fear of social situations in which you believe you may be scrutinized or act in a way that’s embarrassing or humiliating
These social situations cause you a great deal of anxiety
You recognize your anxiety level is excessive or out of proportion for the situation
You avoid anxiety-producing social situations
Your anxiety or distress interfere with your daily living
Question: How do you convince employers that even with health issues you can be a valuable asset to their company? I have COPD and hearing loss in both ears the hearing loss sometimes makes communication difficult and the COPD rules out most manual labor jobs. I have an associates degree and consider myself adaptable but I can't seem to get past the interview. So why would an employer hire me when they can hire someone younger with no health issues?
Answer: No one is more narrow-minded than those who are responsible for hiring other people. Typically a hiring manager is only able to say "no" or pass someone up the chain to someone else who might be able to say "yes." Therefore it is in his or her best interest to reject as many as possible. This is the safe tactic and the best way to insure everyone sees this person as necessary and important.
A lot of managers are also reluctant to hire anyone who has solid skills because they feel threatened. It's obvious the candidate could do a better job that THEY could, so they purposely look for someone inferior. Everyone suffers, but people are so insecure and afraid of perceived failure that they perpetuate this process.
You're in a tough position. Part of me wants to suggest you seek legal help. It's generally illegal to discriminate against people based upon age and medical conditions that don't adversely affect someone's ability to perform a job. The thing is, how do you prove this. The company can simply say someone else was more "qualified" than you are.
Keep trying. Hopefully you'll find an enlightened company that puts value on experience and skill.

Question: What is the percentage of americans that suffer from health issues? Writting a paper about health issues and cant seem to find out what is the percentage of americans with health problems..
Answer: Well, think about how you would be able to find out. Suppose there were only 100 Americans. You could ask each one if they had a health problem. You would get some kind of answer. Say 20 didn't and 80 did. That would be 80%.
We know there are millions of Americans, and that you can't ask all of them. Even if you asked on the census every 10 years, you would have the answer as of that time when you asked.
You can also use a sample and project it over the population. It depends on how you get your sample. The statistics you can find easily are those where a sample of the subset of the population, for instance Asians, is surveyed for a particular health issue such as diabetes.
You can safely assume that every person will have, during their lifetime, at least one health issue at some point. Colds, flu, injuries, stomach aches, sore feet. Everyone dies of something ultimately.
That's why health care and paying for it are universal issues. We all know that eventually we will have to deal with it.
Question: How do I beat the odds and break the cycle of family mental health issues? My mother, aunt and grandmother all have mental health issues ranging from deprssion to anxiety.
I have noticed myself facing some of these issues. How do I break the cycle?
Answer: I know exactly what you mean.
There is more and more information every day about the genetic aspect of depression. I see it in my own family.
You can break the cycle by getting competent professional help for yourself.
It is NOT just a matter of "mind over matter" or "positive thinking"
I find that working with a cognitive/behavioral therapist helps.
She helps me see what/how my problems originate, and gives me practical help in overcoming.
Some people also use medication to help.
(The genetic component might include poor serotonin uptake. Some meds can help.
The first step is a physical exam, so you can rule out physical reasons. (Some diseases and conditions cause depression.)
Then consult a therapist, and decide if you need/want medication.
Try to involve your family, especially your spouse or life partner.
If you have children, be aware of signs of depression in them (yes, even little kids can get depressed) and talk to your kids' doctor. There are therapists who specialize in children.
Do NOT let others tell you that "you just have the blues" or "everyone feels that way."
Clinical depression is real and serious, and deserves all the attention that a physical disorder deserves.
Question: What happens when help is sought for mental health issues? 19 year old, university student.
What happens (UK) when someone seeks help for all of these mental health issues (all the same person, not for each!) -
Depression
Self-harm
Severe Mood Swings
Paranoia
Anorexia
Severe Stress
Panic Attacks
and possibly more problems that have not been noticed yet!
Answer: Hey
All that you? Heres some sympathy!
Usually you either get put on some medication for depression ect, whic would probs be the main cause of most of the other problems (except stress which may cause the depression), and/or get hooked up with and NHS couselling/phschiatry service.
And if you ever feel like talking to someone impartial but experienced in such matters, email me at [email protected]. I may only be year 10 but I'm aufully mature, and I'd like to help.
Hope that helped and look forward to possibly hearing from you!

Question: What health issues are common for chinese crested dogs? are they a healthy breed in general? or are there health issues I should be aware of?
Answer: From talking to breeders, rescue folk, and other owners. I'd have to say that PRA and Dry Eye are the most common issues in the breed. If you plan to buy from a breeder, its very important that they do CERF tests yearly. Optigen is another valuable test.. its a genetic test to check for PRA. Optigen can only test for one type of PRA in the breed tho.. Cresteds can have both types of PRA.
Allergies are another common issue, some have contact allergens, some have food allergens.
Luxating patella
Legges-Perthe
Closed Ear canals have been seen in some bloodlines.
Heart murmurs in some bloodlines.
Hairless are prone to bad dentation- the amount of "hairlessness" does NOT necessarily reflect how bad the dentation is tho. I have a true hairless and he has a VERY nice set of teeth. He is only missing his pre-molars. Better lines tend to have better dentation. Dental loss is accepted in the show ring for the hairless only, puffs should have a complete set of teeth.
Skin issues are common for the hairless- better bloodlines tend to have better skin. Good care and diet helps prevent issues.
One woman I know who works in rescue seems to have gotton some dogs in the past few years that have issues with thyroid problems, or liver/kidney issues. She lives right in the middle of puppy mill country, so Im not suprised really surprised. This is not a known issue among the breed, but seems to be cropping up among puppy mill lines.. be very cautious if you are deciding to purchase from a breeder!

I am 21 years old with mental health issues. Currently being treated with anti-depressants after a short spell in hospital earlier this year. My Mom suffers from mental health problems and has done for years. Do you think my problems are linked to hers.

Answer: Personally yes, i carry mental health issues like depression and OCD and i relate it to my mother as she is the exact same. I find myself not being able to take a joke pretty much the same way as my mums head works and thats not exactly something you can be taught but more of just the way you think i believe anyway.
Question: Should there be specific laws to protect people with mental health issues and related disabilities? People with mental health issues can often be exploited and abused both in relationships and by employers. How could the law prevent this? What strategies would a law like this need?
