    Disruption of biological clocks causes neurodegeneration, early death

    So that year working nights was oaky. The next doing mixed shifts not so much. But since we all wake our teenagers up before noon and they are programed to sleep long and late that means we're all damaged before we finish school.

    Random health related "confessions"

    Finally had my ultrasound. I was really hoping that they'd see something but nope. Just PCOS. So now I've had that lovely random pain; the one intermitant one that gets worse when i'm cold, tired or stressed; for nearly a year. Since the drs have decided i'm fine it must be an allergy to...

    Random health related "confessions"

    I've found that natrual live yogurt is just as good as a probiotic, at least for sorting out after antibiotics. Be careful to investigate the dosage for aloe vera it varies with the plant and yourself. I've taken fresh chunks as a soother and found it great, my freind with IBS had too much...

    Quitting Smoking

    i don't know if this is any use to you guys across the pond but here on the nhs you can get pills to help you stop. As i understand it they make you sick when they react with nicotine. My colegue has recently given up even though i'm not sure she really wanted to but it helped that we stopped...

    On alcohol, drinking, and depression

    While i admit that i didn't know so many drinkers were alcholic i do think that the correct dosage varies drastically from person to person. A regular at work takes 1/2bottle of whiskey every day, he walks a 3 mile trip to get it because his family disaprove, much younger folk than he are on a...

    Random health related "confessions"

    I know I'm making up excusses not to go see Dr. I'm fairly sure its because I'm scared they'll say I'm fine, again. I know I should remind them that spottign should not last 9 months, I know I should tell that the intermittant pain I thougth was part of all those kidney infections is still there...

    What keeps you Motivated to Exercise?

    I'm hoping the daily exercise report will :) I know I enjoy my callinetics and yoga but i don't seem to have the energy when in a working week. Motivation can be difficult to grasp.
