Hahahha!!!! 8)

In news grosser than bleeding, I have a math test today!

I tend to think I'm very in tune with my body - I pay a lot of attention to it, all the little aches and pains, how it reacts to certain situation, etc. This is how I've come to the conclusion my health isn't that great. I'm also very honest about it, yet people seem to think I'm just being silly or trying to get attention when I come out and say "Yes, my body sucks at this or doesn't handle this well." Sigh.

Then there's the doctor that just doesn't believe me when I say things. Such as - I hate the blood pressure cuff. It hurts me. As soon as I see it, my subconscious reaction is to tense up and my blood pressure shoots up. So the doctor has determined I need a lipid test because my blood pressure is so high. It's like.... dude.... get the finger cuff. You'll see my chubby butt is well within normal range.

I hate tests :-X I don't think I could go back to school. I was an international student for a year when I first moved to the States and I think I'm scarred because I had one professor who absolutely hated me. I was a poor student and sometimes I couldn't get the books (not even from the library, as they were always out) so I would get photocopies.
Now, I've never tried online classes. May be that's the way to go for me
As for health issues, I have and had a few. I've had surgery once and after that, I started to take care of my health a little better. I am looking for a good book in holistic medicine! anybody????

No idea about that, but my husband's twice ex-gf is a 'graduate' of a 'light healing and therapy school.' So he has all kinds of insane herbal advice. And I don't mean herbs can be good for you. I mean.... you twitch a little.

I learned apparently it's bad to cut lettuce with a knife, because it breaks apart the proteins in it. (I wasn't aware I was eating lettuce for the protein.)

I looked at him.... blankly. Then I asked, "So what happens when you bite it?"

"I asked the same question and she told me to shut up."

Hehehehe.

She also told him to rub himself down with tea tree oil to deal with his skin issues. All that did was make it flare up and turn bright red.

I have a co coworker that sprays some type of oils at work when she notices someone is sick. Really!! lol
I don't want to go all crazy from the very start but I want to learn some basic things like medicine for common ailments. I do really want to find an herb that fights gas My husband really needs it :

Oh Amikety, I totally agree. Tests are grosser than bleeding lol. How was it though?

I think I'm in tune with my body too. My parents think I complain too much. When something hurts, I say so. If my back aches (like it does now), everyone finds out. I also tend to say, "Dad, I think I'm gonna die..." He always answers with, "You've said that many, many times. How come you're still alive?" I love my dad.
