Eating Disorders - Most of us love our food, right? But there's a few of us out there which have eating disorders. The main two are Anorexia and Bulimia. One means eating too little and doing a Fern Britton where you are concerned about your weight and the other is mainly stuffing your face until you are sick. At present a third eating disorder is being investigated, Binge Eating Disorder. This isn't our typical Christmas pig-out we are talking about here. This condition is when somebody eats a huge amount of food in a very short period the consequence is that they becoming insane and can't stop eating which is a bit of a problem if you take them to the All-You-Can-Eat Pizza Hut Buffet one lunch time.

Epilepsy - When somebody has an Epi fit they can completely spazz out. To give it the medical term a 'seizure' is when the messages to are brain are rudely gate crashed by a sudden burst of electrical activity. There are different kinds of seizure one can suffer from. First of all flashing at us in strobe lighting are the words, ' simple partial'. This is when a 'fitter' is having a fit and is fully conscious that he or she must be looking like a right plonker to any onlookers passing by. The second term to remember is a, 'complex partial' when the sufferer is unconscious and when they 'hopefully' come round they may be unaware what has just happened. Doctors are fairly good at identifying why somebody is epileptic. If they are sure this is called Symptomatic however if a Doc. can't find a cause, but is stumped what the cause actually is then this is referred to as Cryptogenic. In some cases their is no reason why the person has seizures and this is classed as Idiopathic. People who are epileptic should be careful taking illegal drugs when on medicine and if they drive and have a seizure they have Two options. Tell their GP and be suspended driving until they are completely cured, which will take at least 12 months without a fit or keep quiet and hope for the best they don't spazz up behind the wheel! We recommend the first option.
