MG: Uncommon and well understood autoimmune disease - about 10/million- of young females and older males characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness. Usually worse in evening or after exercise.

Question 2

would having a simian line indicate something bad?

Accepted Answer

Palm Reading: I am not a palm reader.  Reportedly a   simian line in the  deep palm connotates poorly controlled emotions  and one  higher in the hand is believed to be consistent with a personality in which intellect dominates. I can not comment on the validity of these beliefs as this is not something that is taught in western medicine.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Nutrition & exercise: Good nutrition & regular exercise are key to obtaining & maintaining healthy weight. Doubtful you gained weight quickly, so don't expect to lose more than 1-2 pounds/week. Aim to eat 500 calories less each day than you expend in activity. After 7 days, you'll be down 3, 500 calories or 1 pound. Check w/your doctor to be sure you're healthy enough to exercise. And check your thyroid just to be sure.

Question 4

what is simian crease?

Accepted Answer

Palm lines: Most folks have two lines across the palm joining the side below the little finger with the space between the thumb and index finger. If only one is present, as in some monkeys ("simians") & in 1% of normal folks, it's a tip-off that the person may have another birth defect, especially trisomy 21, but ultimately it's of no use as the other defects will be obvious.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Doesn't make sense: A lesion is a visual representation of damage or disease on something solid (e.g. Skin or organ).  Semen is liquid. There may be abnormalities in the semen signifying a problem elsewhere that may lead you to a lesion on the organ (e.g. Prostate) but a liquid material like semen can't have a lesion.
