Still &#110;&#101;&#101;&#100; extra sleep, but &#110;&#111;&#116; &#097;&#115; tired &#097;&#115; I &#119;&#097;&#115; &#105;&#110; my first trimester.<br /> Started &#103;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#097; bigger appetite around 17 weeks.<br /> My gums &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#103;&#111;&#116;&#116;&#101;&#110; &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; sore and bleed more easily and that started around week 18. I didn&#039;t even &#107;&#110;&#111;&#119; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; &#119;&#097;&#115; &#097; symptom till I looked it &#117;&#112;. <br /> I&#039;m 19 weeks along now and &#099;&#097;&#110; feel the baby move &#097; lot and it&#039;s &#103;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#105;&#110;&#103; hard to sleep. &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#097; hard time &#103;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#105;&#110;&#103; comfortable even though I am &#110;&#111;&#116; &#115;&#104;&#111;&#119;&#105;&#110;&#103; much &#121;&#101;&#116; and &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#111;&#110;&#108;&#121; gained 3 pounds. My nipples are &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; starting to get &#097; tad darker&#8230; &#110;&#111;&#116; much though.</p>
<p>I &#104;&#097;&#100; tender breasts, bloating, and &#119;&#097;&#115; soooo tired that I &#116;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104;&#116; I &#119;&#097;&#115; &#103;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#105;&#110;&#103; my period-and I figured it would be &#097; doozy. &#119;&#101;&#108;&#108; &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; it didn&#039;t happen, I tested and &#103;&#111;&#116; &#097; positive =) From &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; &#119;&#101; were &#115;&#101;&#110;&#116; to the Dr.&#039;s where they figured from blood work I &#119;&#097;&#115; 4-5 weeks along..&#115;&#111; &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116; I&#039;m saying &#105;&#115;, I felt it pretty early on =)</p>
<p>sore breasts &#115;&#105;&#110;&#099;&#101; &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; shortly &#097;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#114; ovulation, but &#103;&#111;&#116; &#097; bit worse at 4weeks. Fatigue didn&#039;t hit till 5w5d.</p>
<p>I conceived around March 18-19, and &#098;&#101;&#102;&#111;&#114;&#101; April &#104;&#097;&#100; come around, I &#119;&#097;&#115; feeling VERY tired, and &#104;&#097;&#100; &#118;&#101;&#114;&#121; sore breasts. The first week of April I &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; &#104;&#097;&#100; morning sickness, &#098;&#101;&#102;&#111;&#114;&#101; I tested positive on April 11th. &#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;&#121;&#111;&#110;&#101; &#105;&#115; &#100;&#105;&#102;&#102;&#101;&#114;&#101;&#110;&#116;, however. &#097; lot of women say that &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; second and &#116;&#104;&#105;&#114;&#100; pregnancies, you &#099;&#097;&#110; &#116;&#101;&#108;&#108; sooner, but I&#039;m &#110;&#111;&#116; sure &#097;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; &#105;&#115; my first and I &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; &#116;&#101;&#108;&#108; &#114;&#097;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; quickly.</p>
<p>Personally, I &#119;&#097;&#115; 5 weeks pregnant and I &#116;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#103;&#104;&#116; I &#119;&#097;&#115; PMS&#039;ng&#8230; but the sore breasts kept &#103;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#105;&#110;&#103; more intense!</p></p>

I&#039;m &#099;&#117;&#114;&#114;&#101;&#110;&#116;&#108;&#121; unemployed &#097;&#110;&#100; it hard enought. &#116;&#104;&#101;&#115;&#101; visits to dr are &#107;&#105;&#108;&#108;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#109;&#101;. &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; &#101;&#118;&#101;&#114; find an answer. &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; i &#101;&#118;&#101;&#114; get &#098;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#101;&#114;? I&#039;m leaning towards galbladder. &#097;&#108;&#108; that has come up. I do have bad cholesterol &#098;&#117;&#116; have been &#111;&#102;&#102; meds for a while &#098;&#101;&#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; i&#039;m allergic to them. I&#039;m &#099;&#117;&#114;&#114;&#101;&#110;&#116;&#108;&#121; &#111;&#102;&#102; &#097;&#108;&#108; my meds. &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; thought it &#119;&#097;&#115; them &#098;&#117;&#116; 3 wks &#108;&#097;&#116;&#101;&#114; i&#039;m &#116;&#104;&#101; &#115;&#097;&#109;&#101;. If &#121;&#111;&#117; &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; give &#109;&#101; your thoughts &#097;&#110;&#100; &#115;&#116;&#111;&#114;&#105;&#101;&#115; i&#039;d greatly appreciate it.<br /> Thanks</p>
<p>Have them check your thyroid. Check TSH, T-3, T4, &#097;&#110;&#100; thyroid antibodies. &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; check for possible food sensitivities &#111;&#114; allergies. <br /> IF fatty foods bother &#121;&#111;&#117; it is a sign of gall bladder, &#111;&#114; at &#108;&#101;&#097;&#115;&#116; &#102;&#097;&#116; intolerance. &#116;&#104;&#101; dr can order an ultrasound to &#115;&#101;&#101; if &#121;&#111;&#117; have gallstones. &#098;&#117;&#116; that &#114;&#101;&#097;&#108;&#108;&#121; doesn&#039;t &#101;&#120;&#112;&#108;&#097;&#105;&#110; &#097;&#108;&#108; &#116;&#104;&#101; symptoms. I &#119;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; avoid fatty foods, &#097;&#110;&#100; try a light, &#098;&#117;&#116; high fibre diet. That &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; &#104;&#101;&#108;&#112; &#116;&#104;&#101; cholesterol, &#097;&#110;&#100; &#109;&#097;&#121; alleviate gall bladder symptoms. Avoid foods which &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; distress. &#121;&#111;&#117; should have at &#108;&#101;&#097;&#115;&#116; 1 bowel movement a day. Light colored stools can &#105;&#110;&#100;&#105;&#099;&#097;&#116;&#101; gallbladder &#111;&#114; liver problems. <br /> If &#097;&#108;&#108; else fails ,&#121;&#111;&#117; &#109;&#097;&#121; want to &#103;&#111; &#111;&#110; a rotation diet to rule &#111;&#117;&#116; food sensitivities. That is too long to &#103;&#111; &#105;&#110;&#116;&#111; here, &#098;&#117;&#116; just google&quot; rotation diet&quot; &#097;&#110;&#100; &#121;&#111;&#117; should get &#116;&#104;&#101; info.</p></p>

<p>DEAR DR. DONOHUE: In 1970, &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; in college, I had a friend who bruised so badly that she looked like a battered woman. The doctor at the health care center &#116;&#111;&#108;&#100; her &#116;&#111; take vitamin C &#098;&#101;&#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; &#105;&#116; strengthens cell walls. She &#100;&#105;&#100;, and the bruising stopped.</p>
<p>My father died &#111;&#102; ischemic stroke and had suffered &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; heart disease. My mother has had several hemorrhagic strokes. I am 60 and &#115;&#116;&#097;&#114;&#116;&#101;&#100; taking baby aspirin. I am bruising more. I am thinking &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; adding vitamin C &#116;&#111; my program. Will &#105;&#116; interfere &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; the baby aspirin&#8217;s blood-thinning effect?</p>
<p>Ever hear &#111;&#102; scurvy? It&#8217;s &#110;&#111;&#116; &#115;&#101;&#101;&#110; &#109;&#117;&#099;&#104; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#115;&#101; days, &#098;&#117;&#116; in the 15th through 18th centuries, &#105;&#116; was a common disorder and was rampant among sailors. Dr. James Lind, a British naval surgeon, experimented &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; groups &#111;&#102; sailors, giving &#116;&#104;&#101;&#109; a variety &#111;&#102; treatments. The group &#103;&#105;&#118;&#101;&#110; a daily lemon and &#116;&#119;&#111; oranges recovered quickly &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; &#097;&#108;&#108; the signs and symptoms &#111;&#102; scurvy. &#116;&#104;&#111;&#115;&#101; signs &#097;&#114;&#101; small and large bruises, bleeding &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; the gums, coiled hairs, joint pains and impaired wound healing. Perhaps this was behind the college doctor&#8217;s prescription &#111;&#102; vitamin C &#102;&#111;&#114; &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; friend.</p>
<p>Vitamin C &#105;&#115; involved &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; the synthesis &#111;&#102; collagen, &#111;&#110;&#101; &#111;&#102; the major support tissues in the body. It&#8217;s a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing oxidants, which &#097;&#114;&#101; byproducts &#111;&#102; cell metabolism that wreak havoc in the body. &#105;&#116; aids in the absorption &#111;&#102; iron. &#105;&#116; keeps the immune system healthy. &#105;&#116; stops the bleeding and bruising &#111;&#102; scurvy &#098;&#121; strengthening capillaries, the smallest &#111;&#102; blood vessels. I &#102;&#105;&#110;&#100; no information that &#105;&#116; interferes &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; aspirin&#8217;s anti-platelet effect. Platelets form clots that sometimes occur in arteries and obstruct blood flow. The result &#099;&#097;&#110; &#098;&#101; a heart attack or a stroke.</p>
<p>With &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; mother&#8217;s history &#111;&#102; hemorrhagic (bleeding) strokes, you &#115;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; consult &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; doctor before launching into daily aspirin.</p>
<p>DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 63-year-old male. I work out three or &#102;&#111;&#117;&#114; times a week, &#100;&#111;&#105;&#110;&#103; aerobic exercise as &#119;&#101;&#108;&#108; as weight training. &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; November &#116;&#111; April, I officiate basketball at the college level. Last year, during a routine physical, I was diagnosed &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; &#108;&#111;&#119; testosterone. My doctor scheduled &#109;&#101; &#102;&#111;&#114; bimonthly injections in his office.</p>
<p>Recently a friend &#116;&#111;&#108;&#100; &#109;&#101; that her husband was diagnosed &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; &#108;&#111;&#119; testosterone and that his doctor prescribed a pill. &#105;&#115; testosterone available as a pill?</p>
<p>Testosterone &#105;&#115; available as a pill. However, oral testosterone isn&#8217;t the &#098;&#101;&#115;&#116; way &#116;&#111; correct a deficiency. &#105;&#116; doesn&#8217;t reliably provide sustained blood levels &#111;&#102; the hormone. &#116;&#111; overcome this obstacle, doctors choose &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; methods &#111;&#102; delivering &#105;&#116; or prescribe a testosterone that has &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; chemically altered.</p>
<p>Testosterone &#100;&#111;&#101;&#115; provide &#103;&#111;&#111;&#100; blood levels through injection, a skin patch or a tablet placed between the gum and the cheek.</p>
<p>If injections &#097;&#114;&#101; &#110;&#111;&#116; &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; cup &#111;&#102; tea, &#097;&#115;&#107; &#121;&#111;&#117;&#114; doctor &#097;&#098;&#111;&#117;&#116; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#115;&#101; &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; methods &#111;&#102; delivery or the substitution &#111;&#102; &#097;&#110; altered testosterone molecule.</p>
<p>Readers &#109;&#097;&#121; write &#116;&#111; Dr. Donohue or request &#097;&#110; order form &#111;&#102; available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando FL 32853-6475.</p>
