hi.. i just feel like ranting a bit.. originally never wanted to participate but read.. but.. i am not accusing or anything. mr tham's comment had sort of stirred some curiousity and hence made me question a few stuff..

first.. the comment on the monitor.. very good information.. but i felt you "jump" the conclusion too fast.. i agree with low refresh rate does cause all those.. but he is having breaks in between to rest his eyes.. and he did mention one part of his eyes.. not both.. i would have querried history of migraine or some other sorts of headaches just as tension headache before i goes into all those stuff.. also eye dryness issue.. i know he cant change his working conditions.. and its probably the cause.. and i know there are a lot of supplements which can help him in this case.. anyway.. as i say.. i do not really wish to comment too much.. just my 2 cents.. feel free to correct me...

second.. irenechong85.. yes.. age and descriptions sounds like it.. however you recommendation of the brand is actually the major reason i felt like intercepting.. it might be of personal opinion but i do not really think livewell osteosamin is a good choice.. as i say.. maybe personal opinion but i know a lot of people had said that it doesn't really help. not to mention the amount to take.. 2 tabs twice a day.. and most of the people had take for a few months and not seen much improvement.. as general rule of thumb.. 1500mg glucosamine daily (for the "minyak tulang" i call it) and 1200mg of chondroitin (for the "tulang lembut" i call it) is the standard... they do provide it but as i say.. experiences from a lot of people who try it claim to be quite not effective as i hope.. they are other brands out there that i personally think is better.. and people thed to feel improvement a lot faster.. another comment i would like to add.. cod liver oil.. i do not really see the need or rational behind it.. if you say its for reducing pain.. about fish oil that reduces the "pain mediator" and reduce inflammation to the knee.. that is not really a good choice.. i would usually question the lipid profile first as cod liver oil might increase certain unfavourable lipid profile... just my 2 cents again and feel free to correct me.. as for the hydrolized collagen and msm.. i do agree..

next is stab your back.. i believe that is common.. as mr tham has said.. you can go see a doctor or that but i believe a simple "sunat" should solve the problem...

next is.. rosamundo.. a simple supplementation with multimitavin might solve that issue.. as strict vegans go.. i usually say.. clean your veges well.. cook properly.. have some extra supplementation just in case you are missing out on some vitamins and minerals.. calcium is something i would watch out for.. plus monitor your sugar level as from experience again.. your main "food".. sometimes... mostly consist of carbohydrates (potato).. just my two cents..

next.. emily6238.. actually.. i dunt see anything wrong.. you just need some supplementation (multivitamins).. i will question your food intake.. and also in this case.. your body "size" as i have a feeling you might be undernourished.. and i seriously think you need some mental health checked.. i am not being bad or bias.. you are a girl.. i would look at your diet first.. (edit.. sorry.. i just realise she got weight issues.. in this case i would qs eating habit or eating disorder.. sorry for my blunder) which might explains the nails and so on.. plus stress on your mental making you think "too much" and so on.. plus it might explains your feeling of "Coldness".. more info needed... (edit: more like additional qs.. how abt your siblings and parents.. their "size" to be more accurate.. any other ppl in your family having problems? and since when do you "have" this weight issue... have you done anything.. or taking anything for it? and how long as this "cold fatigue and other symptoms been?)

sellerlol.. for your case.. i agree with the other guy.. go do a drainage.. if the cyst is not "masak" there is a chinese patch that you can heat up and paste on it to make it "masak" and then drain it out.. after all out.. buy some antibiotic cream and apply three times a day to prevent further infection.. if its a serious recurring problem.. go see a doc for some "creams".. i would not suggest anything here.. as i tend to disagree with some doctors about their choices.. btw.. the chinese patch is not really legal in malaysia but its available if you ask properly.. feel free to comment..

N1ck.. you just need some supplement (multivitamin) with ginseng extract to boost your energy.. take in the morning.. and i will look into your lifestyle instead.. no qs about the "exercise" but more to when you do it.. and i will look at your sleeping pattern as i do think you have some sleep problem.. more like "disturbed" sleep to me.. do you sleep with other ppl? i dont mean any harm.. i just know if there is as i want to check if you have snoring problem as it seems to be the case.. again.. more info needed for further diagnosis.. but that is where i will start rather than coming with some bizzare virus or illness... i will rule this out first.. and your blood "result" looks normal to me.. a slightly low neutrophil does not cause any alarm.. it might be you are sick when you do it or something.. i will also see your diet in this case.. just in case you lack certain stuff.. and hence my recommendation for multivitamin with ginseng for your case.. and i will also look at other illness you might have.. inherited or not.. and how is your health "condition" since young.. to me.. you might have a weaker body since young... any other health conditions? and.. where are you now? as in compare to your hometown.. is there a change in "environment".. as i think that might also be a cause of concern.. more info needed as usual...

mango28.. sorry.. i totally have no idea.. lol.. cant help you there..

i think the rest is answered.. as i said.. i dont really intend to interfere.. and i am not against mr tham or anything but.. i have the opinion you "jump" conclusion too fast and i really query your choice of supplements in this case.. as i said.. maybe personal but i have too many encounter with livewell and all i can say is the "feedbacks" so far are quite unfavourable from a lot of different people.. but then again.. its more like individual as well.. one stuff doesnt work for one person doesnt mean it doesnt work for others.. and pls dunt sue me for tarnishing the company.. its just my 2 cents comment as i say.. just experience.. well.. to be on the "balance" side.. i do hear some who says got improvement but as i pointed out.. i have more unfavourable than favourable feedbacks.. over and out..

p/s... dont kill me.. too young too die anyway.. as i say.. i do not really feel like participating much.. more like just reading and lurking around.. its a good thread btw.. and its happy to see ppl from all over the field coming together... keep up the good work.. i am just a passerby ignore me ok? as i say.. too young to die.. dunt kill me

as i say.. i not really keen to post however.. i will try a few more stuff here.. from the description.. hmm.. you seems ok in childhood.. i cant say for sure.. i want to make sure you belong to which "body".. this is more holistic and bogus.. but i find that it does help in things others cant explain.. first.. you scared of hot more or you scared of cold more.. if you eat durian or those heaty food.. how your body reacts? what abt coconuts and the "cold" ones.. does it affect your body.. and your palm of the hand.. normal? usual hot or cold? my suspect is you belong to the heaty one.. or warm in this case.. to make sure.. if you eat a lot of keropok and durian and fried stuff.. you might feel body heating up and easily get sorethroat after that.. this is just a guess.. so like i say.. i would prefer an "interview" to dig info but i cant.. lol.. this part is useful to "tune" your body towards a more balance body and hence reduces stress level in your body.. and i think your condition is stressed related in a way.. ok.. time to put on my western medicine cap

first.. i would like you to have two diary.. if possible.. one is your food diary.. write down in brief what you ate.. amount.. i want a week minimum.. or if possible two or more weeks.. just write down and dont look back.. after the "end".. one week or two or whatever you decide.. then you open and look back and see.. see how balance or unbalance it is.. i am not gonna tell you how to see first as my experience tells me if i tell you what to look for.. your psychological brain will "adjust" your food to make it look perfect.. and the longer you do.. the better we can see if its ok or not..

second.. a sleep diary.. i want you to write down.. when you go to sleep... and when you wake up.. if you ever ever ever wake up and realise it.. write down.. if for example.. got to bed at 9pm.... then by 10 still awake.. you jot down as well.. and by 11 still not yet sleep.. jot down as well.. and so on.. like i say.. as long as possible.. naps included.. i want to know the "total" a day.. starting from say 9pm till 9am... and i want you to record how easy or hard to "fall asleep"... and if disturbed.. or not.. i know you tend not to remember.. this is when having a good gf to sleep with you is good but i guess not possible at this time in your case.. but.. if you do ever remember or wake up half way... jot down.. and if can ask friend to help.. try to sleep when they can sort of see you.. like in living room for a nap... a nap more than 2 hours is prefered and see if you indeed snore or not.. as usual.. just record.. dont look back..

the two above method is a suggestion you can start.. its just a suggestion.. not a must or anything.. and its just my opinion.. there is a few good doctors around.. they might differ in view.. but if i were to give advice.. this is the two things i want to see first.. hope the others can give input.. as for supplements.. i will hold myself from suggesting first.. until i establish your body type.. but if i cant.. i will go for a multivitamin plus ginseng.. pharmaton and proviton is in malaysian market.. its a good choice.. and cod liver oil if your lipid profile is ok.. its both to boost immune and reduces stress... minimum is i will focus on vitamin b complex.. namely vitamin b1, b2, b3... and of coz take in the day.. as early as possible.. erm.. what else.. i am only thinking with 10% capacity as i dint sleep much and really having a very stressful day so far.. so pls do add in some other comments... let me see.. oh ya... activity level.. when you do exercise.. i would put that together with your sleep diary.. i think so far that is it.. its gonna take some time to adjust.. esp when i cannot see you in person.. so.. this is my opinion.. and i believe most doc will raise their eyebrow with my suggestion as all these are more of an alternative than mainstream for them but i guess they might see the rationale i am doing it.. i dunno.. malaysian practice is kinda... well.. weird and i am even weirder but my style is usually weird in a lot of ppl's eye over and out..

N1ck.. its all related.. that is possibly due to stress and lack of water.. if your body is indeed "heat" type.. then it is quite normal and therefore back to my bogus practice.. tune your body back a bit.. but as i say.. need more info.. add in water into your food diary.. interested to see your amount of water intake as well... if this is the case.. hard and tiny stools.. hmm.. so food diary will cover my "curiosity" oh.. one more thing.. colour of stool.. black like hair? got blood? or just normal dark brown colour.. what abt gastric problem? bloated tummy? coughing non stop? the last few qs is TRO GERD.. just in case some docs wonders why i ask.. i still think its stress related base on his age (second year uni.. no fun.. that is where all the stress and hardcore subjects kick in).. *hidez*.. btw.. where is all the docs.. i am interested to know their opinion on my "weird" style

Added on April 2, 2012, 12:01 amtotally out of my area.. erm.. not really out but.. i have a habit of not looking at x-rays.. or i should just admit i dunt really know how to see them... just a suggestion.. you know there is something like.. erm... "pelampung".. those tough rubber type where you can put water in and sit down.. you can sorta try that.. dunno if its available or not.. air or filled with water.. no diff.. but not full... reason.. it can shift your weight around.. so the bed sores and so on.. and "bumping" or "impact" significantly reduced.. fever on and off indicates some sort of infection from time to time.. could be as you say.. due to bed sores? just get some antibiotic ointment (ointment as they penetrate deeper into your skin and prefered in this case to creams as creams tends to stay on skin surface only.. ) and apply it.. until its cleared and not so serious then switch to antibiotic creams.. and then to normal aloevera creams for normal healing.. it can makes your butt silky smooth (just a joke.. i am a joker so serious ppl dunt really like to work with me..) just a suggestion.. might worth trying and might reduce the.... stuff... lol.. *hides*

every two to three months one x-ray... wont die and yes.. she might have overshot but it also depends on certain stuff.. me no expert in x-rays.. as i admitted before.. but.. it wont cause lung cancer like that lar.. and (this is just a joke.. dunt take it seriously ah..) lung cancer has better prognosis now.. i remember having "heard" the monoclonal antibodies can prolong it by a lot.. definitely more than 1 year.. and just to clear some misconception out there.. usually when one is diagnosed with lung cancer.. they are usually stage 3 and above unless by accidental chance someone took an x-ray and found a small lump by stage 2.. if they do spot it by accidental chance.. and so.. the prognosis was bad... the reason is.. lung doesnt have any "pain" nerve or the lump doesnt press against any organ and its hard to "detect" abnormalities except coughing and tightness in chest.. which can be due to a lot lot lot lot lot lot lot of other problems.. including TB and COPD and lung infection.. and therefore tend to be overlook as they usually rule out others before suspecting lung cancer.. just for info.. and it can be caused by a lot of other factors besides the x-ray radiation.. so chances of the x-ray as the cause.. pretty small and like i said.. just one x-ray every two to three months shouldnt be a problem.. right or not mr (i think mrs should be more accurate.. or madam. or miss) queenc? mr tham gonna slap me left and right i gonna hide.. anyway.. i am really really really curious.. where are the other ppl? been paying more attention here but seems like none of them around
