Daily protein intake

I recently found out about our daily protein consumption and it is 120g (4oz or 1/4 lb).  After finding this fact, we are eating too much of unnecessary amount of protein everyday and most of that amount just sits in our stomach without burning them out.  It may differ or increase for sports athletes but 120g is all we need for one day for most of us.  Do you Doctors agree with this?

Update on Food Allergy testing

Awhile back I wrote about having food allergies, inparticular nuts, seeds, chocolate, and a couple other things.  I do know chocolate causes problems, which includes a severe migraine.  He said I didn't have to do the skin test for it and I readily said ok.  I am not taking even the slightest chance of developing any form of a headache like the kind I get with chocolate. Anyway, I was recently tested for tree nuts...

The Molluscum talked about

Hi, just wanted the Doctors to know that my daughter's pediatrician said there was no cure for molluscum, just as on the show the other day. When it spread to her face and eyelids I was desperate to try anything, fearing that if the ones on her eyelid got as big as the ones on her body, it would impair her sight. I tried the emuaid which is about $50 a jar (which was less than the doctors visit...

Stevens Johnsons Syndrome Survivor

Hi.  I had Stevens Johnsons Syndrome (SJS) in 2007.  I watched today's episode.  I understand that every reaction to a medication cannot be on the label, but it would be nice for physicians to make people aware of what could happen.  I took doxycycline after having double pneumonia and being in the ICU for 2 weeks.  I was sent home with this medication and after one week, I developed SJS.  Talk about a nightmare and...

Prurigo Nodularis: a challenge to live with day by day

  Prurigo Nodularis can be a really nightmare, and those who suffer this skin condition know what I'm talking about. Apparently, there is no specific reason for this condition to appear. I remembered I tried almost everything some years ago. I believe that one of the things that helps me a lot is to realise that no matter how annoying this can be, it is JUST  a skin condition, and I AM NOT sick. That...

Endometrial Biopsy

I have to have an endometrial biopsy done April 9 (it would have been sooner but based on things happening, she calculated this would be around the best time to have it done).  OB/GYN needs to check for abnormalities, including cancer.  When she said "cancer" all I could think of was another problem?  I am having symptoms though that have added up over time that suggest that there might be something wrong. I've had many...

He Makes Me Blush!

This man on a certain show makes me blush, each time he looks at the camera, or is in a magazine. He floats my boat, he makes my liver quiver.
