mlk:

When I was younger, occasionally if I got up suddenly I would have the same feeling - the wash of black out/stars in front of your eyes briefly /and sort of fainting, but now it hardly ever happens. I heard/read somewhere that it could have been a potassium deficiency (you can easily boost up your body's store by eating a banana - they contain a lot of potassium).

Palafer (the iron supplement) is not a huge pill --it's about the size of a regular tylenol capsule, but it does taste very metallic if you don't swallow it in your first gulp of water.

Wow, that's sounds similar to my situation. But it only happened to me a few times..usually when I need to use the restroom, and am having severe cramps...I just blackout, then I shiver a bit, and start to feel hot. It only takes me a few seconds to recover, as well. Once I drank too much wine coolers too quickly...an hour later, I collapsed for a few seconds. Others were telling me I had lost all the color in my face for that moment.

I have plenty of blood in my body too, and its red...i dont know how that is associated with iron though. It sounds like we all need to take a visit to the doc..hehe.

At least you got nice size breasts!

me,

Having dated quite a few size 0-1 girls. Their major issue is that they cannot find clothes that fit them in the USA. Most girls I know of this size either have shopping sprees in Asia or have a tailor that resizes everything in their closet.

be,

If you think you have parasytes, the only way to tell is a stool test. You could try to visually look at your stool and see if there are any white lines. The white lines would be parts of tape worms breaking off.

Chronic diarrhea, you should consult a gastroentrolist on this. Usually a result of the large intestine not absorbing enough water. There are multitude of causes for this.

MLK,

The dizziness you feel from squatting comes from your heart trying to compensate from pumping blood another 4 feet vertically.

Think of it as a water ballon. When you squat the water ballon is flacid on the table. When you stand up, it's like streching the water ballon vertically. The heart, because it was resting while you were squatting, now has to work harder to create the preasure to pump blood into your head.

Happened to me once in a library while I was squatting reading a text book. I black out and bumped into a person next to me. Quite embarrassing.

Do more cardiovascular excercise.

do you eat much protein?

I just dug this one up from the files of Asian Dominatrix, though she seems to be much "nicer" now, let's look at some pretty nasty things she's said in the past:

"hehe,

Correctomundo. A lot of Asian women will never have to wear anything bigger than a size 4 even if we're well over 5'. We will never have to wear a disgusting double-digit size like a 10, 12, or God forbid, a 16."

Hmm a "disgusting" double digit, very nice.

be, yes you are probably right, it could be worse, at least I am not severely overweight. And there are other things that I do like about myself, like my intelligence and my love of learning and education.

MLK- I could be wrong, but I seem to remember you saying a month ago that you were like 115 lbs? I'm a size 4 and I'm 125, so I would imagine you are more like a 2.

I also get dizzy when I stand up too fast and see stars. I am not anemic, I've been tested, and I eat a very healty and balanced diet.
