Just posting on my latest blood report. I experienced an almost 100%
blockage in my right coronary artery on Feb. 3, '03. Was outfitted with
a stent and since then I've had 3 blood workups, a couple EKG's, and a
stress echo. There's been no further symptoms; both the EKG and ...

I'm about ready to try the South Beach diet as many friends have lost
weight.  Problem is, this food seems VERY exotic for what I'm used to.

Does anyone know if blood donation is associated with DOMS?

I have no clothes that fit me properly. Mark and I went out for dinner
lastnight and it took me almost 2 hours to put together an outfit that
