they definitely do, but I think it's also less visible b/c they have more hair. But they don't have the layer of skin fat that women have.

Oh I didn't take the hair thing into consideration either. I still think we get it much worse though. Must be that layer of fat thing.

I've been in a hospital in Richmond today with my grandmother, and while she was sleeping I was sort of staring around. What does "low protein" mean on latex gloves? is there protein in latex?

The latex proteins are in latex gloves. The term "protein" doesn't always necessarily mean the protein in food. Protein, it its most basic form, is a sequence of amino acids that form larger molecules that have function. A "low protein" latex glove means that the levels of latex proteins are low enough to use around people who have a latex allergy.

Calling all grammar freaks! I have another question! What the heck is the difference between using i.e. or e.g.

Answer: The Latin abbreviations "i.e." and "e.g." come up very frequently in writing and would probably come up more often if people were more sure of when it is right to use "i.e." and when "e.g." is required. To me, the only way to figure it out is to know what they stand for. I.E. - What Does i.e. Mean? "I.e." stands simply for "that is," which written out fully in Latin is 'id est'. "I.e." is used in place of "in other words," or "it/that is." It specifies or makes more clear.
E.G. - What Does e.g. Mean? "E.g." means "for example" and comes from the Latin expression exempli gratia, "for the sake of an example," with the noun exemplum in the genitive (possessive case) and singular to go with gratia in the ablative (prepositional case) singular. "E.g." is used in expressions similar to "including," when you are not intending to list everything that is being discussed.

So my random question: I am training for a 10km race (a sort of "ha, just see if I can't even with endo" type deal) and I am perfectly fit enough to manage the running but always about ten minutes of starting a training session I get stabbing, tearing pains in my abdomen that usually result in me running around the park spewing into bushes at regular intervals. Anyone else know what causes that or had it themselves?

Hmm, I have abdominal pain but usually not that severe (just did a half marathon today!!). I tend to have bad pain during my period, and I find that if I keep running I'm ok, but once I stop it's bad. For you, it could be a number of things, so I have some questions for you since you look like a new poster. Have you been diagnosed with endo? Any adhesions? If you keep exercising do you continue to have pain (or are you pretty much done once the pain starts)? My endo diagnosis has made me even more determined to run, so I know how you feel!

Whenever someone mentions tearing pains, I think adhesions. Think that could be it, and running can aggravate them?

running definitely aggravates adhesions. I find the combination of bikram yoga and running keeps me from spewing in the bushes too much, though I have certainly decorated more bushes in DC than is ladylike! But finding some way to help stretch the adhesions and get more abdominal movement is really helpful to me. all the backwards bends in bikram yoga--though painful--do help stretch the stuff out. There are other things you can do for adhesions too: check out pelvic physical therapy thread in the natural treatments section.
