Do You Listen to Your Body?

I have no choice but to listen to my body, because I don't go for regular medical check-ups. I only find out something's wrong once the signs and symptoms appear. Anyway I try to exercise regularly. I also don't drink or smoke. So hopefully my healt is just fine.

yes my friend lately i have to listen to my body because about a year ago i had epsteinn barr and it sticks with you the rest of your life and well it ended up getting so bad it turned to cronic fatigue as well.so i have to keep up or less i will be very sick.hope you get better and eat some more bananas and get plenty of rest,i hope all goes well for you and your test comes back ok,pattie

I do listen to my body.i do take good care of my body.i see that i do regular excercise have a balanced diet and doesnt consume too much fast food.also whenever i feel ill i do consult doctor immediately.i dont take selftreatments and put myself in troubles.even i advise you not to take any self treatments,in case of any ailments directly consult the doctor thats always better.

That is so true, potassium deficiency can cause stroke and seizure like activity. I am glad your doctor noticed this on your visit. It is time for me to have a good physical, and I will probably schedule one soon. I am finally going in to see the doctor about the recurring head and sinus and ear ache. It is one step. I hope you got some good advice about remedying this deficiency.

I think I pay enough attention to my only body. He gets best of the food, medicine, care and maintenance. As far as early detection of an ailment is concerned, its not always possible to think of big thing with a small of innocent symptoms. It might not be called ignorance but as I said before, early detection is the key which is always not possible. Anyway I don't think anybody does'nt care for his body.

I'm listening! In fact I'm going to go to my doctor's tomorrow as I haven't been feeling too keen myself lately. I'm beginning to wonder if I have low potassium myself, although I might have a touch of my "old" friend bronchitis. All I know is that I've been feeling run down myself, might be my allergies or sinuses getting to me,as one of my symptoms is tiredness. I'm not usually one to rush to a doctor unless I feel like real crap...LOL..and lately yes, been feeling like do-do. Just don't feel like I'm all there. I'm going to ask my doc to do blood work too, as it has been awhile. So will let you know what's up with me

I do pay close attention to my body. I attribute most of my issues to aging. Although I do feel really good for my age and move around without any problems. I always have a positive attitude and think that also helps. Life is fun and I enjoy it! Good to hear you did listen to your body and got to the doctor.

I usually pay attention to what is going on with my body. If I don't then that makes things worse. I would rather be aware than ignore the issue when there is one.

Like you, I try to listen to my body. Unfortunately I also tend to think that most of the time it is simply age and wear and tear so I don't like to kick up a fuss. I've learnt the hard way though, and now I know I should listen and take action

I hope you were able to treat it worldwise. how are you doing? As for me I tend to ignore what is going on with me until it gets to the point where I can't stand the pain - I know, not good but I suppose its because I put everything else ahead of me before I think of me i.e. my son and husband.

Mostly when my sugar is acting up I listen closely since I'm Diabetic. Other times I'll ignore it...like when it says it doesn't need any chocolate but my mind says it does. LOL "COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS" **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Good topic. Yes, I agree with you that I do my best to listen to my body...but we all slip at times. You are right that our bodies do communicate with us but sometimes it is hard to interpret what is going on and what we need to do. I prefer taking a holistic approach whenever possible. However, when something does come up but the medical model is very useful in diagnosing a problem. That allows us to make informed choices about what steps to take. Good health is a responsibility and sometimes people forget that. It is good to read how you approach things. This is a good discussion because it may help others to pay attention to their body talk signals too. Best regards, Raia

yeah i listen to my body. It may be trying to tell me something that is going wrong, that i should look at. i only have one body, it is my temple. If i dont listen to it. Who will?

hi,... i never used to take care of myself. then i got see the result of my carelessness. i had to admit in hospital for a fortnight, then i realized i must hav taken care of myself. im still same but i sometimes take care of myself which i must do else i hav to go back to hospital again

I can tell pretty quickly if there is a problem that needs to be taken care of. I can also tell a few hours in advance when I am going to start my period, and sometimes I can even recognize the minute when it starts. If something's going on with my body, I usually figure it out right away.

Thank God for that doctor, Hon! I know how important potassium is because of my daughter's Crohn's disease and also because of my mom who has to take a water pill and also needs to take a potassium supplement because of it. That's what I heard might have been the cause of Terri Schiavo's condition that caused her to be in a vegetative state all those years, something possibly to do with an eating disorder. For some of us as we get older it just happens for some reason. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice and keep an eye on it! Annie

I'm pretty on top of things when it comes to what my body needs. It's usually me telling the doctor what's going on so she can get the testing done!

yes, i am always paying attention to what my body needs and what it's been through. I always believe that it is the best thing to respond to whatever we feel before anything else gets worst. I always look for symptoms or any sign and do whatever precautionary measures I can do. It's better to be very attended than being sorry at the end...

hi, worldwise. you must have more rest. i think one's health is the most important. if you have no health nothing will stay. i always pay more attention to my owen health. i eat healthy food. do much exceise. than i can have a good job.
