She was tired, dizzy spells came and went, dark splotches popped up on her chest for no reason, and she'd gained 50 pounds in two years. Some days she was starving; other days she could barely eat.

Alex Rodriguez was in virtual seclusion in Colorado, then Florida. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were neither seen nor heard, and Zack Greinke and Ryan Zimmerman were reminding everyone that baseball still held the power to surprise and amaze for all the right reasons.

Perhaps worst of all, it turned the focus of this week's mailbag back to the dreaded topic of performance-enhancing drugs.</description><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:06:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Manny apologizes to Dodgers teammates in Miami</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/05/15/manny.teammates/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/05/15/manny.teammates/index.html</guid><description>Manny Ramirez apologized to his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates on Friday after being suspended for 50 games for using a banned drug.</description><pubDate>Fri, 15 May 2009 21:17:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Sarah &amp;amp; Matthew Join a Roster of Celebs Using Surrogates</title><link>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20276146,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnn</link><guid>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20276146,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnn</guid><description>Why stars like Dennis Quaid, Angela Bassett, Joan Lunden and others have gone this route</description><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2009 11:47:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Constance Marie's Miracle Baby</title><link>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20269221,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnn</link><guid>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20269221,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnn</guid><description>After years struggling with infertility, the George Lopez actress is over the moon about daughter Luna Marie</description><pubDate>Thu, 02 Apr 2009 20:11:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Multiple births increase risk of postpartum depression</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/03/31/depression.multiple.births/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/03/31/depression.multiple.births/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Twins?
