How can I cure my bad breath? I have really bad breath. I brush my teeth for 3 minutes twice a day and floss, then rinse. My dentist said i do a really good job of keeping my whole mouth clean (cheeks, tongue etc.), but my breath is so bad even I can smell it! I've read online to breath in your pets face and see what they do to test how bad it is, this was insulting: my cat closed one eye, started twitching, then put her paws over my mouth! HELP ME! BTW I'M ONLY 13!!

How long will it take to grow emo hair and what is your opinion of it? First, I have taken a look back at my life and into myself, and also have taken tests in psychology classes and personality tests online and in other institutions. The results show that all my life I've been very introverted, had a high level of neuroticism due to self-concious thoughts plaguing my every breath, and a bit of creativity and many compliments from professors in terms of my writing. A counselor I spoke with during a time where I just felt the urge to die concluded that I may have avoidant personality disorder. If you know society's stereotypes, I scream emo. Music wise, I listen to punk rock, but emo was created from punk so it works. Call me what you want, but I like the emo look, and certaintly wouldn't be a poser the way my personality is and the dark roads I've gone down. My hair is brown and about half an inch long at the moment, and my bangs stop a quarter of the way down my forehead. How long will it take before I can part it emo style? My hair kinda grows fast. Have you seen Spiderman 3? Remember when Peter Parker gets infected with the black suit and starts turning evil, and for some strange reason the producers emphasized the change in his crew cut to a more emo look? That was weird, I know, but Parker's hair at that time in the film wasn't covering his whole face or jet black, but he had the basic emo mop to the point that he could cover his eye. That's kind of what I'm wondering how long it will take my half inch hair to get to, and then obviously let time take it a little more emo, unless I suddenly change. Yeah, I know it's hard, but resist the insulting remarks and just answer the question.

questions for Macbeth test.? Hi, My girlfriend is taking a test on an online class and she has 3 attempts for it and she got trapped on a lot of questions and I want to ask you what the answers are. "Not of woman born" describes A) Banquo B) Macbeth C) Duncan D) McDuff Motifs in Macbeth include all of the images except A) darkness B) blood C) stars D) sleep In Act III, Macbeth says, "Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown, and put a barren scepter in my grip..." Macbeth: A) finds the role of a king a disappointment B) is disturbed by the witches' prophecy that the crown will not pass to his descendants. C) feels that he lacks the king's powers. D) wonders if there is still time to reap the benefits of his newly acquired position. Near the end of Act I, Macbeth expresses doubt about murdering the king because 1) It could weaken all of Scotland 2) Macbeth is the king's subject and host 3) the king's sons would kill him 4) Lady Macbeth has misgivings Lady Macduff misses her last chance for escape, which comes when 1) her son suggests a plot for their escape 2) Ross defends her husband's good character 3) the murderers make too much noise at the door 4) an anonymous messenger warns her to flee Macbeth Act I Scene III--the Witches Macb. Speak, if you can. What are you? 48 1. Witch. All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of Glamis! 2. Witch. All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of Cawdor! 3. Witch. All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter! Ban. Good sir, why do you start, and seem to fear 52 Things that do sound so fair?

Hail! 64 3. Witch. Hail! 1. Witch. Lesser than Macbeth, and greater. 2. Witch. Not so happy, yet much happier. 3. Witch. Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none; 68 So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo! 1. Witch. Banquo and Macbeth, all hail! Macb. Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more. By Sinel's death I know I am thane of Glamis; 72 But how of Cawdor? The thane of Cawdor lives, A prosperous gentleman; and to be king Stands not within the prospect of belief No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whence 76 You owe this strange intelligence, or why Upon this blasted heath you stop our way With such prophetic greeting. Speak, I charge you. Witches vanish. Ban. The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, 80 And these are of them. Whither are they vanish'd? Macb. Into the air; and what seem'd corporal melted As breath into the wind. Would they had stay'd.

I don't understand my metabolism test results... my BMR??? I was just at the doctor and they did a metabolism test where I had to breath into a tube attached to a machine for 10 minutes. This was to tell my metabolism rate... I'm assuming that's my BMR. I am a 29 year old female 61 inches 200 pounds. The machine read that I used 1181 Kcal/day. I'm not sure what that means. I looked online to see what the BMR calculators say my BMR should be and they say around 1700. So am I right in assuming this test showed that my actual BMR is much lower than it should be therefore my metabolism is slow? They didn't explain anything to me and I'm very concerned and confused. If it is slow how do I speed it up or can the doctor help with that? Please, only serious answers. I have been on a 1300 cal a day diet (down from 3500) and have been doing 2-30 minutes cardio sessions a day plus weight training since Feb and I haven't lost a single pound.

What could be wrong with me? I've recently been experiencing fatigue and very sore muscles. It's hard for me to make a fist, like I have no strength. My head hurts and my eyeballs hurt, I'm freezing, and I have a fever of 101. When I walk around too much (or even just walk up the stairs) I feel like I'm getting out of breath or like I'm going to fall over. I'm a fourteen year old girl. What could possibly be the problem? I tried to self diagnose myself with an online test but I only ended up scaring myself.

Why do I always feel short of breath? I am aware I may not be able to get a diagnosis online but I figure I might as well ask. Here is some history: -I had bad asthma as a child and plenty of environmental allergies. -when I would feel short of breath, my parents would tell me its in your head and then it would go away -I used to smoke (seems like this started after I stopped) on and off for 3 years -I don't drink -I have been diagnosed with panic disorder (which has caused me to have phobias about driving and etc.) I always feel short of breath. Almost all day long. It used to not be so bad but it seems like it is getting worse. I am on Klonopin now which is making me not have any panic attacks because I used to have them almost everyday. I just recently had bronchitis and it just leaving my system. When I had the bronchitis it didnt really feel like bronchitis, just felt like I had alot of mucus in my lungs and I was coughing up greenish phlegm. I was on prednisone and some people say it can cause trouble breathing and extreme anxiety. My doctor thinks it is stress related asthma with anxiety that is making me feel this way but I feel like it is something more especially after bronchitis. I've had this shortness of breath for almost a year now but it seems worse at this moment. I have gotten plenty of tests done to check for what could be wrong. Tests I have gotten: -Chest Xray (Normal) -EKG (Normal but alittle of a fast heart beat when nervous) -Ultrasound or doppler exam to check for blood clots (Normal) -Pulmonary Functioning test (Normal) -Ear, Nose and Throat Exam (Normal) My doctor says there is nothing wrong with me but I don't feel normal. Ive been to urgentcare about 6 times and they just keep telling me to relax and the mucus is still prolly in my lungs from smoking. I cough sometimes and feel some mucus or something break up. I also have started going to a cognitve behavorial health thearpist. Please help. My Questions: 1.) Does this sound like just anxiety or is this something serious? 2.) If you think it is something serious, what can it be? 3.) Should I go to the hospital?

Bad breath and white on tongue - HIV? I took an HIV test yesterday and am waiting to hear my results next week. In the mean time, (and for about a week and a half now) I have been developing white stuff on my tongue back closer to my throat. I brush this off but it quickly returns and now I have some bad breath I can't seem to get rid of even with mouth wash. I recently discovered though that I have a tonsil stone on my right side. I discovered this because I began developing pain there and I tried removing that tonsil stone but can't without gagging. I tried the Q-tips, but it doesn't work for me. Any suggestions on what's going on here? Is this related to HIV, or is it more related to AIDS, which I would not possibly have at all right now. My HIV scare was in August, but I am expecting a negative result because I was protected during the sex. I just built up a lot of anxiety thereafter and began thinking I had it as I read symptoms online and began feeling those symptoms. The brain is very powerful at persuading you to believe one way. Thanks.

random glucose test for 22 month old diabetic screening? My little guy has a few medical issues that seem to have a common hormone theme, small phallus, undescended testicle, weight problems, tooth delay, etc... and although we do not get into the endorinologist until July, we do believe hormones are somehow playing a role. With that in mind, at our weight check yesterday I informed the dr. of a sudden increase of thirst and hunger that he has never had before. He will drink a 6 oz. cup in less than a minute, barely taking the time to breath so he ends up taking a huge gasp of breath at the end, then I'll fill it up again and he will do the same with the next cup, usually a little slower though. This happens 1-4 times a day. I know all kids eat different amounts and it can come and go in phases, but he has been eating nearly as much as me at every meal plus two snacks a day and a few weeks ago he began waking up in the middle of the night hungry. Despite this, he lost a pound this month. We do have a history of struggling with his weight, but I thought for sure he'd have gained with all this extra food and not really any increase in activity. So the Dr. sent us over to the lab to have his blood drawn. We had the results back in less than an hour that his levels were normal, but after looking up online it seems like they should have asked when his last meal was, what he had, etc in order to determine what would be normal? I'm not really sure what all they ordered, but is this as accurate as the fasting tests? Do they give the normal results first and have to wait on more? I will graduate very shortly with my health promotion degree, so while not an expert I feel confident that he is being fed in a way that is not consistent with his weight. FYI-He has already been tested for nearly all the inborn error of metabolism disorders, even the very uncommon ones. While I am so thankful he does not have any, it is still frustrating to not understand what is going on. Actually they are still concerned about it, and want to repeat the test next month at our next weight check. I didn't think I'd get any B*tchy answers so I left out some information, but they think he may have prader willi syndrome and diabetes is very common in that. However; we won't have answers until another few months. I'm not a moron, I know kids eat and drink at different rates. But thanks anyways.

Please help, I am 27, I have been in pain for 6 months.. I feel like i'm going to die sometimes? I know this is long, but if you are knowledgeable about this stuff please read through it. Last time I didn't get one answer and it really brought my hopes down. I have been in chronic pain for 6 months now. I was afraid I would become one of these stories I was reading about in the first 2 months on the internet, now it looks like I am. I used to socially binge drink once a month, I am not that overweight, overall a healthy male. I never thought something like this would happen to me. It all started in June and the symptoms have kind of changed over the coarse of 6 months, but the more tests I do, the less I know. It is always confined to my torso area. I have pain usually in my rear ribs (sometimes achy, sometimes burning), intermittent every hour. (sometimes on the left, sometimes on right) I know this pain is not really from my actual ribs, but it referred from some internal organ, because it will subside within 5 minutes. I will also get a very deep achy feeling on my front right side. (it lasted the entire month of august). This feeling really makes me depressed. It kills my spirits. The pains I have sometimes wakes me up at night from being so achy. The doctors think I have IBS, but I read online that it doesn't fit the criteria of ibs (pains that wake you up at night are not ibs it says.) If this is ibs, I do not wish this upon anyone. The only relief I get are from strong painkillers (like oxy ir), but the relief only last for an hour or so then the pain comes right back. Doctors also don't like writing prescriptions for this because of the "ibs" diagnosis so I am forced to deal with the pain. After my first ct scan 6 months ago, I was told I had IBS and no further testing was needed. Well, I found out this wasn't true, and that ibs is a diagnosis of exclusion, so I have undergone numerous tests (doing my own research and making requests, getting turned down, changing doctors) Thankfully I have good insurance, but have a HUGE deductable. This sickness is taking a toll on my relationship with my fiancee, financially, and in my computer repair business. I am always complaining about the pain and she is getting very tired of it. I am starting to cry from the sadness now every few days. Here are my results: ct scan when this all started in june- normal Ct scan with contrast 3 months in - normal Ct scan with contrast again 6 months later - normal mri of abdomen/liver/pelvis with gado contrast 6 months into this- normal abdominal ultrasound - normal Hida scan with cck - 83% ejection fraction rib xray - normal small bowel follow through - normal (possible intestinal spasming seen) hydrogen breath test - spiked twice at 2.5 and 3 hours (abnormal?) cbc and various blood work - normal except elevated ferritin 386, elevated alt liver enzymes 141, elevated total and indirect bilirubin ~2.2 (they say I have gilbert's syndrome which causes elevated bilirubin?) colonoscopy 3rd month - normal endoscopy 3rd month - normal mri of thoracic spine - normal hepatitis panels - normal tsh thyroid test - normal vitamin b12 test - normal celiac test - normal I have tried increasing my fiber for a few weeks, cutting out dairy, wheat, fasting for days (made no difference in the pain at all during the 2 days) nothing is working! The doctors are starting to think I have an anxiety/mental problem causing this, but I don't and my fiance agrees. I occasionally will go 5-6 hours pain-free, but then the pain will suddenly come on in my sides/ribs again. I did give in to one doctor who told me to try clonazepam for anxiety for a month and I did. It made absolutely no difference but make me tired with the pain. I just want the pain to go away most of the time, and to get back to my regular life before June. Does anyone have any ideas for me? I obviously have something that is very difficult to diagnose, and I don't know if its ibs, but I know it is torture and If it weren't for the few hours of relief I get when it subsides, I don't know if I would want to live. If you have any ideas please help me. I don't know if it is worth mentioning, but I have had a muscle in my left thoracic back that went into spasm since this all started in june. Could this be affecting my small intestines? It is always bulging out when I bend over, but no real pain from it.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome or H. Pylori issues? Back on May 18th, I experienced the worst pain in the world. Its right below my right breast and hurts to the point I can't move. I went to the ER and was told they have no diagnosisand that it was probably acid reflux. On June 8th I had to leave work in tears because the same exact pain was back. This time I went to the Dr's office instead. I already had all lab worked done at the ER and a sonigram. At the Dr's office she got my sonigram results, lab work, x-raysT, and breath test. Throughout this time, I always have this uncomfortable and more moderate than severe pain. I am still awaiting the breath test results to come back to determine if its H. Pylori. I did some research online and I have all the symptoms of IBS. I'm starting to lose faith in the Dr's...its been over a month with no explaination. What do you guys think?

Any advice on what i should do? basically i took a test on facebook on what scrubs character i am, by the way i know most online tests are inaccurate and invalid, but i found the test described how i am and feel precisly, i just wanted some advice on what i can do to stop being this way, here's the answer: "Omg...you are sooo whiny! Every little thing that happens to you, you feel negative about it. You are spoiled, so you hate it when things don't go your way. Your favorite word is "frick," and you have many reasons to say it. You are self-conscious and very insecure. Sometimes, you don't even know if your friends like you. Just relax. Take a deep breath before your voice gets all high-pitched from rapid ranting. Remember that you are an excellent, book-smart person and that, if you just calm down, people will appreciate your knowledge and resourcefulness." i do find that sometimes i don't even know who my friends are, and i worry alot, i've basically never felt very wanted during my primary school, and not much during secondary school, i feel like if i did not go say something no one would say do you want to go out sometime, or maybe spend time with us this lunchtime, advice?

How much does DUI cost? I got a 23152(a)vc the first time. I was pulled over cuz i was on the phone. I wasnt wasted at all since i fell asleep for few good hours before driving home. I passed all the test but the cops arrested me anyway becuz im under 21 (im 20) and he said i had no right to refuse the breath test - he didnt tell me how many percent of alcohol in my system though i asked. Then he let my aunt pick me up right away WITHOUT putting me in jail. Some people told me it costs 10000.. but when i looked it up online some pages say 1500... Thats A LOT of difference. Anyone please tell me what's going to happen? and how much does it really cost? including eveyrthing..

Need help for friend's school project - Law Enforcement Input the most valuable, but any help appreciated? My friend's project is a typical dui scenerio. Her group has to act out this scenerio. We've been surfing the net, but can't find certain info and the project is due on Monday. Thanks in advance to anyone. Steps: Police Observation, Stop, Check Documents, Field Sobriety Test, Breath Test, Miranda & Arrest. Did we leave something out?Approximately how much time for a standard roadside stop and arrest? (They are limited to 15 minutes presentation). To add some comic relief, they'd like to add some typical drunk behavior. What would a real officer do if: The suspect had to really, really take a pee right now. Would you let the suspect out of your sight at any time? They are not comfortable stopped on the side of the road, and up ahead only a few blocks, there is a lighted area to pull in. Would you let them drive this short distance if you detected slurred speech or odor of alcohol? I'm sure there are going to be more questions, but this will get her going on her "script" for now. Thanks again.If anyone knows of an actual police manual online we could look at, that would be great! You can email mail directly if you want.

Criminal Record Does Not Appear, Anywhere? So, had an experience years ago (whatever you may feel about the stigma involved here, I'll be fully accurate)... I was CHARGED with misd. domestic violence-under this states law, someone MUST go. Regardless of gender (so this is not a "the man gets screwed" rant). A verbal dispute escalated into a very loud verbal argument. There was NO, I repeat NO violent physical act, nor threats. None. Zero. The argument, wrongfully, took place near an open window, and the police were called (not from our address). I was charged with DV, why?, my wife and I, whom I am still married too all these years later, are still unsure. My wife refused to sign the police officer's version of the events-there was very little of a case. But under this state's law (MI) it MUST be prosecuted. I plead guilt to disorderly person. For all intents and purposes, I was being disorderly. I was being very loud. So the way I looked at it, c'est la vie. There was no special deal to have my sentence completion rendered "under advisement" (wiped clean after a set period of time) or anything to that effect. Plead guilty, did my probation, community service, moved on with life and my family. Fast forward 7 years. I was reading on here someone asking a question about the Lautenberg Amendment. I thought it was very interesting. I had never heard of it. I'm not in the military, nor a gun owner. But there was a debate over DV cases rendering someone non-permissible as a gun owner. Then, someone went on to state that a crime with "DV elements" discludes someone from their 2nd amendment rights. (Which is somewhat supported by writings elsewhere online from law firms and legal discussion boards). Now, to qualify this further so you get the whole picture. Since my conviction I applied for a new job (4 years ago), I disclosed my conviction for disorderly person-and explained it. No problems, I was hired. HR came to me weeks later, in an off the record (no pun intended) conversation-the HR person said, "you know, the company that did your background check found nothing". *Note: I had no previous record, nor anything since-including no traffic violations of civil citations. I thought it odd, but dismissed it as they must have used a lousy background check company. So yesterday, out of complete curiosity, I went down to the local police station and discussed gun permits with the desk Sargent. I told him my history from beginning to end, and I only wanted to apply for a gun purchase permit to "see". (No need to lie to the cop who was about to see my history, right?) He explained it would likely disclude me, but it was free to do, and he was more than willing to give it a shot for me. I filled out the appropriate paperwork, I acknowledged and filled out "yes" to an arrest for DV but not convicted per the law and requirements, did the questionnaire, the test (100% by the way, haha) and he proceeded to run all the checks. CLEMIS, L.E.I.N., and NCIC... I was watching the officer flip through papers, with a look of bewilderment on his face for a few minutes. Suddenly he says, "Sir, were you required to take PBT's (alcohol breath tests) at the ******** Police Station as a requirement of probation or pre-sentencing?", I confirmed that yes I had. He pauses for another minute then says, "Sir, that's all I have for under the coding we use for "contacts with police" (which surprised me that there is a permanent record of all contacts w/police. Good and bad, but that's another question for another day)... he went on to say, "there is nothing else". "You don't have a criminal record, nor a record of arrest, on any system... anywhere". 5 minutes later, I had my permit to purchase a hand gun. I asked him if this is normal, he said "these days, y'never know. You should ask your attorney". To avoid, $250 p/hr in billable time, thought I'd throw this to the omnipotent Yahoo masses to see if anyone here had some input first.(Plus, its Saturday, not like I can call my attorney today anyway). I can't find anything similar online, or through case law, etc. Last applicable note: I have never petitioned for an expungement. Even if I had, my arrest would most certainly have appeared on NCIC.

What causes digestion problems such as black or green stool? I'm 21 years old and about a month and a half ago i puked black that looked like coffee grounds. I went to the doctor and they gave me breath tests to see if i had an ulcer and they found nothing. I've had a black stool not too long ago and i thought it must be blood. I haven't had another black stool since, but i've had an occasional green stool. The green stool seems to come when i haven't eaten much that day. Tonight i passed a very small green stool and there was a little bit of red in it. I have also been experiencing occasional abdominal pain. It seems to be mostly on the lower right side about where my liver is at. For the past year and a half i've been very heavy marijuana user. At least 1 gram of high quality everyday. I quit marijuana 4 days ago(I've been having trouble eating and i don't know if its from stopping the weed or if it could be something more serious. Also i normally wasn't eating until my first smoke of the day). And for the past 3 or 4 years i've been a pretty heavy drinker. I'd say i average drinking to the point of being drunk, or wasted a couple of times a week. I'm also giving up drinking and ive been sober for 14 days. I plan on returning to the doctor and getting some kind of stool test done in the next week or 2, because i work a very busy schedule. I've been worrying myself so much over the past month based on the symptoms and what i've looked at online. I've seen everything from Fatty Liver Disease to Cancer to IBS. I just hope its something that will turn out alright and not something thats too late to catch or fix... Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I don't see why it matters which part of my problem i started the question with lol. Its all there. I don't know what is wrong with me, so why would i not put every possible cause i can think of... The doctors never told me i was alright. They told me they couldn't find anything and don't know. Sorry, thats just not reassuring enough for someone who drinks a lot and threw up blood. I guess i could just ignore it and see if something happens later down the road...that would be so intelligent...lmao Thanks everyone else who takes this seriously!

How badly emetophobic am I? I think I am emetophobic. My parents sent me to a doctor when I was 11 because they thought I was anorexic. The doctor sent me to. child psychiatrist and I was told that is wasn't, but I was too thin. They eventually found I had emetophobia. Unfortunately I was discharged, because they said it was too hard to cure unless it was very severe. I'm now 13, and it has gotten worse. I have had about 10 bad panic attacks in the past year, but I am constantly feeling uneasy about feeling ill. I once had a bad experience feeling ill in the cinema, and so I havent been in about 2 years. I avoid certain places for similar reasons, and I won't eat things if they are close to their sell by date. I always wash my hands well, so they are always dry. I think I might have a tiny bit of OCD as well, but that's things like; if I don't close the door 12 times then I will be sick. Also, whenever I see the word sick, or things like it, on a page in a book, I will look at it, and then breath out suddenly, like I'm blowing out the illness. In not afraid of general illnesses, only if they will lead to being sick. Some of my panic attack symptoms are; Uncontrollable sobbing Dizzyness Hyperventilating Running away OCD getting much worse And I kind of go into a dreamlike state like its not really happening. Please could you tell me how bad my phobia is, or what I should doubt stop it. I'm still really underweight and my parents are always telling me off for not eating. I would really like to see a kind of online test for how bad my phobia is. Thanks x

How to get diagnosed with disorder? Is there an online test that can actually diagnos you? I don't want to go to a therapist but I seem to have symptoms of depersonalization or schizophrenia. Often times, I get these very strange attacks. I'm almost fifteen years old, and I've been getting them since I was thirteen. I've never told anyone but my best friend because I feel like I can really trust her. I'm probably not going to be explaining this correctly, but I'll try. Every other hour or so, I'll have this weird sort of "moment." I feel like I'm not exactly me. I feel super fatigued and dizzy. Then I feel like I'm reaching the end. Like, life is a huge dream and I'm about to wake up. I don't know how to explain it. It is really weird. I'll just lose all consciousness. It's almost like - loss of awareness. Also, everything feels so unreal. Another thing is, when I look in the mirror, it's like I cannot look at myself. I get to scared, and I feel to strange. I feel like I'm not me, and I feel like this world is fake. I don't know what I am or where I am. This is very scary. It's been two years of me feeling this everyday, and I've been dealing with it alone. I've tried to tell my parents once a while back, but they don't really believe me. They think I'm making it up or stretching the truth, but I'm not. One thing that might help you figure out why is - I have been in and out of the hospital a lot as a little child. I was probably 7 months old. I had a liver problem. Sometimes I have extremely FOGGY memories of me being in the hospital and losing control. I remember my shortness of breath and everything, and that was fourteen years ago! I don't know if that could be in relation to what I'm feeling.

Buddy had a rough night, freaked himself out the next morning? He drank a good amount. Here's the thing, he woke up after a night of drinking - probably didn't drive anywhere or anything - but freaked himself out thinking he got a DWI. I told him he's an idiot and not to drink so much that you'd forget something like that, but I also told him it's impossible he wouldn't know. Here's my question: If he wakes up and his car is PARKED AT HIS HOUSE, he couldn't have gotten a DWI, right? It would have been towed. He was alone, and had no record of calling anyone to pick it up. Where he was driving, it would have been illegal to park over night. Evidence #2 - He had no paperwork, nothing, to show evidence of getting arrested Evidence #3 - There is no way a cop would have let him go if he was still drunk enough not to remember anything Evidence #4 - His license is still in his possession - In NYS, they have a law that permits a cop to seize the license if he failed or refused the breath test. Evidence #5 - It's been 4 weeks and there is no record (all police forces here put their records online) of a DWI the night he was drinking. Help calm my buddies fear and let him know he didn't get a DWI. I understand he is an idiot and drank wayyyyyy too much. So no judging please. Just back up my points of evidence if I am correct. You wouldn't not know you got a DWI right? Also, I'm doing a large paper on DWI's (kind of sparked by his worries), so all this information helps me too. One more thing I keep telling him - He probably would have woken up in freaking jail, correct?

Am going to University to do Nursing in September but think I have social anxiety? I did a test online (I think it's called the libowitz test) and it said I had it slightly. Every time I go out in public I get nervous and talk quietly and heavy breath a bit. I don't think I really have social anxiety as I've seen people with it and my case is nothing like it. I think it's maybe jsut temporary as I havent been out the house in a long time. Although, I'm going to University in september to do Nursing and was wondering if this would affect things? I'm fine to talk to people and have completed volunteer work fine however, sometimes I get a bit nervous and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this? Also, I do over think things like walking down an aisle in a supermarket I feel everyones staring at me and so I just look at the floor. It's only when i'm on my own I'm really nervous though, otherwise I am sometimes OK. And today when I went to the supermarket with my Dad he kept telling me to go get items as soon as he wanted to talk to a cashier or something as if he thought I was embaressing and didn't want to be seen with me.

I'm having many weird emotional problems!? Help!? Hi, my name is Esme and I am 14. Sorry this is long but I have been having some weird emotional problems for the past few years that have really started to freak me out! Let's see... -I have had sleep anxiety since I was a baby (which means that my heart rate won't slow down when I sleep so I get worried that I will never fall asleep which makes my heart race and then I can't sleep at all.) -I get angry REALLY easily! Like, when I'm angry I hit things and throw things and clench my fists until I can't feel them anymore and they turn bright red. -I get irritated at things easily, too. Like, irritation sometimes brings me to tears. And I can't get control of it. -I go through phases of depression. In 7th grade I had suicidal thoughts (slight actions: like holding my breath and choking myself) and was incredibly depressed and then it cleared up until about a year later when I didn't get into the high school that I was aiming for and would have to lose practically all of my friends. Then my parents almost grounded me and I completely broke down and was holding a knife in my room, sobbing, writing a suicide note, and then my best friend had to talk me down for two hours and luckily she talked me out of it. -My sex drive goes up and down. Sometimes I'm really horny and only want sex (ugh..I even masturbate which is ew) and then other times I'm scared of sex and don't want to think about it (I'm a virgin.) I constantly have mood swings in which I am depressed and can't get control of myself. Another thing, I am one of the most indecisive people you will ever meet and I can change my mind in an instant. I go from liking one guy to liking another in a few hours and then I like another one and then I don't! It's ridiculous and I hate it. The changing my mind because of bad decisions really bothers me. Now I'm convinced that I am bipolar, I mean, I know that it's hard to tell in a teen because of all of the hormones but I took a test online and it said that I am bipolar. Granted, that test was for adults...but still. What do you think? Thank you!

I have panic attacks when public speaking? I have NEVER had any problems with talking in front of people in elementary school, but for some reason once I hit high school everything got worse! My first presentation in high school was all right, I got pretty nervous, but I got through it. After that it seems that my anxiety just kept getting worse and worse each and every time. Whenever I ask anyone for advice they just tell me to "breathe deeply" or some crap like that. So far I have done over 20 presentations in high school, and I am almost finished grade 11. I have tried deep breathing and all of that but it actually ends up getting me MORE worked up! I took a test online to find my problem, and it says that I have a "severe social anxiety disorder". I want to go to the doctor to get some kind of drug that will stop or lessen the serious symptoms I get (frantic heart beat, loss of breath, shaking), but my mom says there is no such thing and I can't convince her. I'm really getting sick of how teachers keep putting me through this. My average is about 95-100% consistently through my classes, but when I do a presentation I do poorly on it so it goes down a lot. And if this isn't bad enough, I have a physics presentation worth 30% of my grade coming up in a month! To make it even WORSE the length of the presentation has to be HALF AN HOUR! Lately I haven't been able to get past 30 seconds without breaking down! Another student has the same problem as me and told the teacher, and what did he do? He got mad at her! He said that she was stupid and that she should just "get over it". This is seriously affecting my life in the worst way possible. Sometimes when I'm walking to school I feel like stepping in front of a moving car so that I will be in the hospital and won't have to do the presentation.

I have sleep apnea and insomnia (not what you think)? *THIS HAS NOT BEEN FULLY DIAGNOSED (I took a test online, it says i might have sleep apnea. I'm still gonna get it checked out by the doctor* So, I think I might have sleep apnea. But, I also KNOW I have Insomnia. I know the two are related, but its not the usual. my problem isn't that I wake up frequently during the night, my problems that I can't frickin get to sleep till anywhere between 1-4 in the morning. This has been going on for the past year or so) I definitely have experienced some of the symptoms of sleep apnea. Such as # Waking up unrefreshed and having trouble staying awake during the day # Waking up with headaches # Waking up sweating # Frequent trips to the bathroom during the night I also seem to forget to breath sometimes when I'm awake. But I don't wake up frequently, and I definitely have Insomnia.Are the two related? Is it possible to have both? HELP!

8 DPO.. PLEASR LADIES SHARE YOUR SYMPTOMS :) TTC (20 points for best answer!!!!)? Ok so so far, I get a little sick feeling when I smoke a cigarette now, I gag alot of the time because of it. (I NEED TO STOP) Also, I have been peeing alot lately. More than usual. I used to pee maybe 3 times a day, and its only 5:30 and I have peed like 5 times already. I used to get up at 9 every morning, but now i have to force myself to get up at even 11! Cramping and bloating.. ugh. I feel dizzy and light headed if I stand too long. Even walking up stairs ill feel very out of breath. I am a very slim girl and my bloating makes me look like im about 3 months pregnant. (which I know isnt possible) I think I may have had an implantation dip.. Not quite sure, as I dont take my temp the same time every morning since im having a hard time pulling myself out of bed. My period isnt due until the 14th. An online pregnany tests calculater said i can test for pregnancy on dec 6th, but i think i am going to wait a little longer, as my periods tend to be a little irregular... What were your signs?? and do i seem to maybe have a chance this month?

Do you think I have GAD? My therapist suggested that I might have anxiety because I told her I feel like I'm literally suffocating and I can't take a deep breath. After researching GAD, I'm convinced I have it.. But since online tests make it seem like you have every disorder, I just want to see from another point of view, so as not to be biased. 1. I'm absolutely terrified of dying, and sometimes when I try to sleep, I get this terrible hot flash all over my body and I feel like I have to gasp for air.. I can't control it at all, and I have to assure myself that I'm never going to die and it'll be alright. (But for about five to ten minutes later I'm still shaky.) This happens about once a month, more or less. 2. I feel tense and like I can't breath as well as before.. like I'm wearing a corset, or like someone stuffed dust in my chest. 3. I constantly get headaches and I feel lightheaded. I've had the hot flashes since I was 9, that's when I first started. The breathing issue is recent, maybe two or three weeks at most.. but I can't really recall the last time I was breathing normally. My junior year just started Wednesday, and the workload is really stressing me out. Also, my family life is stressing me out.. Please, do I have GAD? If so, what should I do? Is the stress/anxiety just a phase? Thank you for your help.

Military Recruiting, Military's Interpretation of Law? Still getting conflicting feedback, thought perhaps I'd ask a different way. Would like to know where the disconnect is... Several recruiters (from different elements) telling me one thing, and several others telling me another thing. Arrested for DV. Plead not guilty. Offered disorderly person, took the deal. Record of arrest and DP plea appears NO WHERE. No joke, NO WHERE. NCIC, State, County. (That's bizarre enough)... Not questioning the military's abilities to find everything. And I wouldn't lie to the military about it anyway. The attorney that represented me suggested I go down to the local police station, because its free and the best way to get all my records checked, and ask for a "permit to purchase" a hand gun... Turns out... I am NOT a "prohibited person" under the Lautenberg Amendment. Not. I am sitting here, looking at my "permit to purchase a hand gun" I got two days ago, just to see. The police officer knew the whole story, and knew I why applying just to see if I was prohibited. I am NOT. The police officer told me NCIC is blank, State record is blank (LEINS, and CLEMIS)(This is Michigan, by the way), City shows the PBTs I had to take pretrial (breath tests). That's it. That's all, game, set, match on the civilian factor. Again, I know the military has "other sources". Here's the questions in short order: 1) Why am I getting told one thing by one recruiter, and when I call elsewhere being told another? (Actual recruiters, not folks online)(I've called recruiting offices all over the country, and Army, Navy, Air Forces, and Marines-none have a set answer by branch, they are all differing). 2) What is the military's position actual position? (Am I disqualified simply because I was charged with that, or is it the perceived "prohibited person" element?) Had I not been offered the cheap way out of the mess, I would have fought it until the bitter end. Taking their proposal was by far the most cost effective. 3) Could I not be granted a waiver on the fact that I plead not guilty, was not convicted of DV, and am NOT a prohibited person under the Lautenberg Amendment? 4) Should I call the original recruiter and let her know I'm NOT a prohibited person and see if that makes a difference? Even those of you well qualified by military profession (current and past) have to admit, this is a strange situation. For the record, if you will, I have not been in trouble with the police ever since. Going on five years, nor had I eve been in trouble before. Oh, and I am still very happily married to the woman some over zealot young police officers attempted to say was a victim of domestic violence. For those curious on the legal element of this case, there were no "excited utterances", and my wife refused to sign the police officer's account of the events, as they were VERY loosely based on the actual events. Just thought I'd toss that in there to appease the genuinely interested in legal matters. Please, if someone can piece this puzzle together, I'd appreciate it.

can anyone help me i think i am aneroxic? hi my name Lexi, recently i have got so upset when people stare at me and giggle about me. Saying look at her she is anorexic. i have tried bmi calculators and online tests they all say different answers so now i am really confused am i actually anorexic. some say i have a strong chance sum say i am over weight and others say i am ideal. which one is correct? When my friends say you're anorexic i say "so what you got a problem". i dint mean snapping at them but it gets me really frustrated.Recently my moods change regularly. For example at school i am mostly calm however at home i am a different person. i think i need to tell my mum but i cant. i have never had a strong relationship with her and i believe i am talking nuisance wen i tell her. i think telling sum1 is the right option but i think i am wasting their time as there is more sick ppl than me. I am aged 14 and just weighing 7 stones i already no i am underweight as my ideal weight for my height is 8.11 stones. my height is 5 foot 8; so don't tell me i am underweight i already no! not along ago i was diagnosed was mild depression. the cause of this was due to family problems in the past, could this be the cause of me to loose weight. my weight started to worry me wen i saw a friend hu was the same age height but weighed 3 stones (btw this was wen i was 9). i was around 5. i keep thinking i wish i was like her. when ever i look at a mirror i always think i need to loose weight but my friends say i don't. i do believe them some how but my body is saying other wise. I am a quite sporty person doing swimming 5 evenings a week and 3 mornings. i have also took up PE for a GCSE's option i think this would help me. but when ever i do short distance sprints i am always out of breath. i cant do a whole lesson/session with out stopping for extra rest. Recently i have broken up with my boyfriend and i am worried he will tell others about me. what i told him. what shall i do? i still love him but my lifestyle was not right for him. i think he can to much better than me. please if u could give me any tips i would love a response! XD thanks, LEXI xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Could I Have Asthma? How does the Dr Diagnose You? I have been having trouble breathing for the last few days and I have been checking my symptoms out online. They seem to be really similar to asthma symptoms, this is what I have: -Breathing difficulty, its a real effort to breathe at times -Tightness in chest, followed by breathing difficulty -coughing at night -increase shortness of breath when doing exercise Could I possibly have asthma? When you go to the Doctor what sort of tests do they do and could they diagnose you in like one appointment?

Personality/psychotic disorders? Help? I'm a teenage girl. My parents think there's something wrong with me. They think I'm angry, and anxious. That isn't the case... I've gone to the counselor with them, and the lady asked if I had any idea what was wrong with me. Like, if I had any assumptions or self diagnoses. I didn't. I never even thought about that. After going, she got the idea of looking around online and searching symptoms and taking online psychological tests into my head. I looked around, and took a few tests. I read all the questions, and I don't know, something clicked. I answered yes to almost all of them. I got high scores in paranoia, schitzotypical and schitzoid personality disorders. I didn't really know what those things were, so I did some research on skitzotypical, paranoid and skitzoid personality disorders. It's like they were disorders named after me. I'm always highly paranoid and suspicious of people. It's not my fault. My parents are trying to hurt me. They are always whispering and talking about me. I hear it constantly, it hurts me ears. If I'm in the next room, accross the house or down the street, I can hear them whispering. It's like a buzzing in the back of my head, when they're whispering and talking about it. It makes me nuts. They're trying to poison me and get rid of me. Put something in my food or something. They want to send me away somewhere. My mum always goes in my room when I tell her not to. Shes probably putting something in my room, cameras maybe. Its just like they're always watching me and taking about me behind my back. Doctors are even worse, it's like they're always getting me out of the room to secretly talk to my mum. Like they're planning something behind my back.If they give me shots, I make them fill the needled infornt of me, I don't want them poisoning me. Eye doctors are bad too. I hate when they are so close to my eyes. I'm just sitting there, shaking, waiting for them to stab a needle into my ear and plant something in my brain. I hate the eye exam part, it feels like they're messing with me. Like they're accusing me of faking a prescription or something, when I dont. I don't leave the house much, I don't have friends other than my cats, and I don't like being around people. I only go to the store when I have to, because it feels like everyone is watching me. They know I hate sick people and people in general, and It feels like they purposely come up and breathe on me. I just hold my breath the most of the time in the store. I always try and keep my mind clear in the store, I just, I don't know, think maybe someone can tell what I'm thinking. I'm just so awkward and nervous and paranoid in these social environments. I'm just not bubbly and talkitive, I just stand there with a straight face and hardly talk. I'm also angry a lot. It's normally because of the things I said above. I fit the skitzotypical one almost perfectly. Except I don't have any odd beliefs or anything of that sort.... OH. But about a week ago, the oddest thing happened. It felt like something was ruffeling the back of my shorts, and I turned around and the shorts were moving. This happed twice... It was really strange. I don't know if that counts. Sorry this is all over the place, I really can't think right. Do you think I have some kind of personality disorder. Skitzotypical or paranoid personality maybe?

Is my appendix inflamed? To just start off me and my friend were wrestling earlier in the day so idk if that would result in a cramp or a soreness in my appendix area... ive did every test ive read online (lifting my leg up from laying down and pushing my fingers on it while taking a deep breath and releasing the fingers quickly..) both didnt hurt It only hurts when im laying down and bring my self just using my upper body strength (as in not using my arms) its not a sever pain just discomfort if i try to make it hurt like stretching or when i sneezed it hurt in that area.. any ideas?

What is wrong with me? I'm a healthy 16 year old girl.? I have been experiencing many problems for a while and they seem to have reached a point where something needs to be done. I have many symptoms, probably unrelated to one another: -Dizziness and drowsiness. Looking at one thing in a room and seeing the rest of the room move back and forth as if focusing a camera. Sometimes have trouble seeing some things and it almost always feels like there is something in my eye. I have recently gotten my license and it seems to make me dizzy to drive sometimes, but that seems to be improving. I also have shortness of breath and irregular heartbeats occasionally, and I sometimes shake. -Extreme forgetfulness. I'm beginning to think I just don't pay close enough attention. Haha but I still believe my lack of memory is abnormal. -Experiencing symptoms of OCD, such as fearing germs, extreme anxiety, needing things to be in order, to the point where I believe it is not normal. I have taken a few online OCD tests and, though I know they are not 100% accurate, my results showed that I most likely have at least a moderate case of OCD. -Situations that would usually not cause as much stress for some people seem to cause more stress to me. I have a few bad habits and nervous ticks such as biting the sides of my cheeks and fidgeting or shaking my foot. -Sometimes have mood swings, but nothing very severe. I'm just generally kind of sad when I should be happy. I am almost always only content when I should be really happy. I seem to randomly want to cry, but can't when it is situation appropriate. I have struggled with anxiety and depression, but not to the point where I harmed myself, and that was around my 13th birthday and was most likely caused by bullying. -Being nervous very often. I am almost always sweaty, especially my hands. I get embarrassed very easily and turn red all of the time, which i would do anything to stop. -I have a strange sort of blue-ish bumpy under-eye area which seems abnormal for a girl my age. I also have bumps that seem like acne but will not go away. I have very sensitive skin and can't use very strong acne medications, and the ones I have tries don't seem to work. I have a few stubborn pimples on my forehead/between my eye brows and one has a small, dark dot that seems to be under the skin and moves around when i touch it. I just noticed it yesterday. It is not a raised bump, it just looks like there is a piece of wood or something in there, but I don't believe it is because I don't know how it would have gotten there. -My scalp seems to itch a lot, but I do not have dandruff or lice, and I have small red bumps that appear sometimes in the itchy areas. -I am sick to my stomach very often, usually just a feeling like motion sickness, which I am very prone to. -Also, none of these symptoms seem to be connected to my period, though my eating patterns seem to change drastically around this time and I have extreme mood swings, which is seemingly pretty normal. Maybe this is all normal and I just complain a lot! Haha, I'm not sure but I figured I might could use a few opinions from others. If you have any suggestions on what could be wrong or what I should do I would greatly appreciate it. Haha yeah I know this was way long sorry. Didn't realize it was so long til I posted it. Thanks for all your answers they are greatly appreciated! I think an anxiety disorder is very likely, especially since there is a history of it in my family. I will be sure to speak to my mom about it. Also, I have been experiencing pain inder my right ear/along my jaw as if I am eating something sour but it also happens when I eat something sweet. Pain is often unbearable, but I do have a low pain tolerance. I have done some research and it says I may have some blockage in my saliva duct... I'll mention this again to my mom as well. Thanks again!

Help!!!!! I might have lung cancer....? First of all, I do smoke. I am a light smoker. I have a cough but it isn't persistent and my lungs are always filled up with mucus. The thing is that I get short of breath real easy, and I do not cough up blood, but I have a productive cough. I took an online lung cancer screening test and it said I showed many of the signs of lung cancer and that I need to quit smoking. What do I do? I'm scared

Never Feel good Please Help!!? Hello I wonder if you can give me some advice. I am having several health problems and so far my doctors have no answers. I think they all think that I'm a hypochondriac. I have been very concerned lately and have had some anxiety over this but now I'm no longer suffering from anxiety I just want answers I am a smoker and have smoked since I was 18. I have made many attempts to quit but am so weak with this. I am 33 years old, Male and work a somewhat stressful job in NYC. I have had IBS for about 3 years which was not officially diagnosed until recently. About a year ago I had a urinary tract infection and I noticed while on the antibiotic I got this pressure under my ribs and shortness of breath. I did some online research and read that the antibiotic (Levequin) filters through the lungs and I figured that was the problem. About a week after finishing the meds the feeling went away. This Past November (07) I started to developed this feeling of a globes lump in my throat. This was after an attempt to quit smoking with wellborn which gave me a great deal of panic. It got worse over a week or two and at one point my throat felt so swollen that it felt like I could rip my esophagus out of my throat just by swallowing. I also had a lot of post nasal drip and a thick coating on my tongue. I also wake up nearly every morning with congestion and dry mouth and throat (which causes mouth sores about once a month). I also need a lot of dental work. The following day I went to the Doctor who listened to my breathing, looked at my throat, felt my neck and then told me that she was sure it was acid reflux. She told me to purchase Propose OTC. I used the prilosec for about a week and my shallow breathing got worse and I had some mild chest pains. It's not a feeling like I can't breathe. There is no Wheezing or coughing but I feel like I have to take a deep breath and when I do like my lungs don't quite catch the breath. Almost like having the wind knocked out of you. After a week I want back in feeling very concerned about the breathing. She listened to my heart and lungs again, gave me an EKG, and Chest X Ray and Ran full Blood work...Everything checked out Normal. The doctor reoffered me to a GI to diagnose my stomach issues and a cardiologist to make sure my heart is ok. I chalked a lot of it up to anxiety and tried to keep myself calm, about three weeks later I quit smoking with the patch and as far as I can remember I felt much better within a month or so. The GI did blood work, stool tests, a cine esophogram and ultrasound and Upper and lower GI x-ray series. His determination was that everything was perfectly normal and I had IBS. The Cardiologist did Fasting blood tests which showed low HD Levels. He also did a stress test and electrocardiogram, and found my heart to be very strong and recovers very well from stress. I also went back to my Primary Doctor who ran blood work again. Everything was fine and my DH levels were normal. Since then I started smoking again . I saw the ENT about a month ago who told me I had a lot of inflammation in my nasal passages and at the bottom of my throat... He put me on Flonaise and back on Prilosec. The congestion seems to be better most of the time and I have Less PND but the globus feeling in my throat comes and goes. I also get minor nose bleeds which seem to start at the lower part of the septum and I have what looks like whiteish dry patches at the bottom of my nostril. The ENT made no mention of this. Within the past 2-3 weeks I was attempting to quit smoking again and ended up bumbing cigarettes from my partner. He smokes Marlboro Reds while I always smoked Menthol ultra lights. Within the past month or so the breathing problems have been back and since Friday I have had this achy feeling in my lungs and throat, mostly when breathing. It's not pain but I would say the best way to describe it is soreness. It feels like you feel when you go out somewhere and smoke far more than usual. For example I smoke a pack every 2 days or so and if I go out and drink I may end up smoking a pack in one night. Another example of how it feels is how you start to feel a few days after that’s what this feels like. Also I have cut down to about a pack in 4 days and returned to my ultra lights. I am assuming that this is either from gas or colon discomfort from IBS or more than likely my lungs adjusting to smoking a much stronger brand than I normally do. it feel a little like it's gotten better within the last couple of days but the soreness is still lingering. In addition yesterday I had a lot of soreness and pressure under my ribs, which has gotten a little better today. I KNOW!!!!!!! I KNOW I KNOW I need to quit smoking and believe me I have tried. I am just very weak when it comes to giving up something FOREVER. I always have trouble with that dieting....I always have to cheat, Working out I can stick to it for about a month or 2 and then I lose interest. I know it's no excuse but I'm so afraid that it’s just a part of my personality. I purchased an electronic cigarette and am waiting for it to come in. I know staying addicted to nicotine is not the best answer but I do feel like if I don't have a similar replacement I'll never be able to quit. I hope to quit completely but even having something I can use at those moments of weakness seems more plausible to me. Please if there sounds like I have anything to be concerned about here let me know, and let me know what my next step should be. I am so tired of bothering my doctor every time a new ache or pain pops up, but I'm also so afraid of missing something. I have a dear friend who was just diagnosed with breast cancer that has spread to her lung. She was not very good about checking on her health and I don't want that to happen to me. Other concerns which are probably IBS are lower back pain which seems to radiate down my leg and my hip bone on the same side as the pain. Feeling of weakness and shaky after a bowel movement. I appreciate any help but pleas NO smoking lectures I know how bad it is and how stupid I am to keep doing it.

HIV from Kissing, Help? I brushed my teeth at like 6:00pm on Friday night to be have fresh breath for when I went to the club. I arrived at 10 and kissed some around Midnight. I read online that brushing teeth causes cuts which is a gateway for HIV. The person I kissed kinda tasted like blood but wasn't sure if it was just alcohol or sweat or something and my friend told me I am just paranoid since I am afraid of HIV. I got a Rapid HIV test Monday morning and tested negative but read online that it might have been too soon to get a test? What do you guys think?

What is wrong with me? I have an unknown disease! Ever since I can remember I have had some kind of respitory disorder. Atleast I think that's what it is. Anyways I get these 'attacks' every month or so, where it feels like someone is stabbing me in the ribs over and over again. It's so painful, and when it happens it hurts to move and even breath so I take really shallow breaths. I have had tests taken, but nobody can explain my condition. I have looked everywhere online and I haven't a clue as to what is wrong with me. There have been 'attacks' that have lasted an hour, and it's so painful, I thought I was going to die. Please anyone that has any info, or anything. I'll accept anything. And if you know of the treatment that'd be so great!

are these signs of developing iron defiency anemia? i recently cut eating ALL meat out of my diet. and i haven't ever been a fan of milk or cheese alone. its been 12 weeks and i have been feeling different. i'm also a little worried because i stopped eating meat and i'm a 12 year old girl, currently going through growth spurts and puberty. my symptoms- bad headaches, always tired (fatigue), short blackouts maybe 5 seconds long, usually as i love the cold and cant get enough of it, it now bothers me and i have to turn off my ac. shortness of breath sometimes. and i looked online on one of the answered questions and it said a test to see if you have iron deficiency anemia is to pull your lower eye lid down. and if the color was the same as your skin you have I.D. anemia and if they are red your not. most of my lower lid is the same color as my skin color, and a small rim of red left, lining the edge of the lid closest your bottom lashes. thanks for the sites to check out. and the comment about the dietician. i have to talk to my parents .. of course about taking me there i also forgot anxiety, and especially at night trouble sleeping. it gets frusturating and i start to cry sometimes. i have wierd mood siwngs and might get mad or depressed and cry for no reason

2 Questions: Heartworm pill tests? Doggy teeth problems? This is really long, but please help... Question 1: My dog doesn't have heartworms and she is on heartgard (the 6 month supply). I usually get them from the vet, but my vet charges 34.00 for the medicine and about 50-60 to test her. To be honest i would rather go online and buy the refill for 18.00 and not worry about the testing (she was tested earlier this year already). My dog is an inside dog and only goes out to potty or just lay on the porch on occasion. I was wondering does my dog need to be tested for each refill on her heartworm medication, or can i just test her yearly and buy the 2nd refill online for cheaper? What do you usually do with your dog? Question 2: I got my dog from a shelter (she was 2 1/2). I just recently learned the importance of doggy teeth brushing. I set up an appointment for the vet to get her teeth checked. I've started brushing her teeth, but i can hardly reach the back ones and I dont feel its doing her much good. When she chews greenies, her mouth starts to bleed (not alot but you can see it a bit on the bone), So i dont give her any. She has tiny black dots on her gums and the top of her fangs is a light brown color. The only teeth that are white are her front teeth. Her breath isn't bad, but im worried there might be a bigger problem. I was curious what should i do to help care for my dogs teeth, and is there an easier way or product to use (the long tooth brush and finger thing doesn't work that well for me and my dog). Also, what is a standard price for getting a dogs teeth cleaned at the vet (with or without anesthesia)? I am sorry again this is so long, but any help on one or both of the questions would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance! P.S. If it helps, my dog is a corgi/beagle/spaniel mix, about 4 years old. I usually feed her nutro ultra and add rice and peas(just started feeding her this about 2 mths ago).

Shudder when I inhale...? I don't know if I'm describing it correctly, I'm thinking there's a better way to describe it because I haven't been able to find anything online when I type "shuddering breath". It happens to babies after they've been crying a lot, when they start to calm down they take somewhat deep breaths and then have this little shudder mid breath. (I posted it in the baby section in case a parent has experienced this and has an answer from the pediatrician). It doesn't happen very often and I've tried to make note of the way I'm feeling or time of day or temperature, etc to see if I can figure it out but they're so few and far between that it's hard to keep track. I've described it to my doctor but he says everything checks out and I'm in perfect health so it may just be one of those random things. Has anyone every experienced this? Is it something that a regular check up/physical wouldn't detect and requires some specific kind of test? I've had mild asthma since I was 15 but I only started noticing this last year, and like I said not often, but I'm asking now because it's been happening a couple times today. Could it be stress?

Can psychological obsessions represent themselves as physical manifestations? Hello, here me out, I'd like to hear your opinion on this. Lets say we take a guy, lets call him Bob. Bob is going through a lot of stress in his life, so he decides to hit the bottle. He drinks wine excessively but decides to drink some hard liquor. Bob tries a certain liquor for the first time, lets just say, gin. He has an allergic reaction, and Bob gets short of breath, he panics in his intoxicated state, but goes to bed. Bob has no previous health conditions or problems. Bob wakes up feeling short of breath still, and experiences globus hystericus (throat irritation/lump). He goes from doctor to doctor for months and no one can figure it out. He tries pill after pill, test after test, even sedatives. Bob frantically searches online for a solution, has nervous breakdowns, and develops more symptoms. He experiences difficulty swallowing, he experiences burping, bloating, and gas, he experiences heat that radiates to the back of his neck, and shoulders. Bob starts getting heart palpitations and dizziness after meals. He gets unexplained sore throats when he lies down. The latter symptoms came on a month into his problem. His GI doctors tell him there is nothing wrong, he has had an endoscopy. His ENT tells him there is nothing in his throat/windpipe/trachea, he has had a laryngoscopy. He has had almost every test possible, everything is negative. He's trialed all kinds of pills, nothing works. Is it possible that bob is creating his own symptoms? Is it possible his symptoms are psychological manifestations even if he stops thinking about them and still experiences them? If the medical community (and naturopathic/traditional medicine community) cannot cure Bob, what should be his course of action? Thanks

Could I have OCD? What can I do? I've taken NHS tests online and it says mild but I can't base my decision to go see a therapist/doctor on that. I probably will go, but I need to know what you think first. Sometimes (about once a week) I have violent thoughts such as a loved one being murdered and then I worry about that thoughts for a long time and it doesn't leave my head, I have to sit myself down and take deep breaths to distract myself, but it keeps coming back ,sometimes I break down in tears and sit in a ball because I don't feel like doing anything else. (2-3 days) There is nothing wrong with my loved one and there is no threat or anything, it's just a what-if thought. If I close a freezer I press down on the handle really hard like 5 times before I have to drag myself away and run upstairs before I can go back to satisfy myself. If I turn off my reptiles heating lamp for nightime, I check the doors are closed, the temperature is good and that they are breathing. I do this about six times a night and if I don't get a response from my pet in a few seconds, I rapidly tap the glass to see if they are breathing. If I close the lid for a solution container, I close it really hard and twist as much as I can to convince myself that it's closed, so hard that it rips my skin, but even then I still think it is open. I do this every night. If I touch something and it leaves a slight smell on my hands, I wash with boiling hot water to kill the germs and lots of soap. I'm currently suffering from stress and am depressed (not medically) and it's been happening for a few months now. My dad has OCD, I can tell, but he denies it. Does this mean I have it? I heard it can run down the family in genes. Please help! Detailed answers please. I'm 13. Sociallizing problems.

I think I might be pregnant....? On Monday I get some light brown spotting/discharge, very unusual for me, especially because my period isnt due for today or tomorrow or possible Friday. I took a test and it said negative but then I looked online that the clearblue easy digital needs the highest level of hcg to get a positive. I havent had cramps or anything to indicate a period is on its way and the kind of discharge I got the otehr day, for me personally, only comes hours before my actual period. I was also very short of breath a week or so ago for nearly 4 days and I had one day where I didnt want to eat anything. I am very fit, so I know the shortness of breath is not due to weight, etc. Should I test again in a few days? Or should I not even worry about it?

I think my boyfriend may have a brain tumor! HELP!? My boyfriend is 21 years old, has been perfectly healthy ever since i met him about 2 years ago. Just recently he has been going to the hospital like once a month complaining about many different symptoms that I feel are all connected. The most recent being him having an anxiety attack. He picked me up from work and told me he couldn't breathe very well and he had been coughing and not being able to breathe great for the past week, but this tonight it was so much worse. He was gasping for breath every second and told me his heart was racing faster than it ever had. I brought him to the fire station and the firefighters there told us he may be having a panic/anxiety attack, I think this may have freaked him out a little bit more, cause he told me that he really couldn't breathe and wanted to be taken to the emergency room. We got to the hospital, and in the waiting room it got so much worse. He couldn't breathe AT ALL! I'm talking like gasping and choking and almost puking to breathe. No one would help or see us they just passed it off as a panic attack. Then he told me his hands were going numb and so were his legs and he was getting dizzy, couldn't see well and felt extremely nauseous, I thought he might feel better in fresh air. When he went to go stand up he immediately collapsed and fainted. Then I was so mad that no one was doing anything that I demanded the nurses bring him to a room because I was really worried. We got into the room and they put him on high flow oxygen and every time he'd take of the mask he'd be gasping and he told me that it felt as though there was no air in the room. The nurses left us sitting there for about an hour before someone finally came back and gave him an anti anxiety medication in a strong dose which made him pass out. No doctor or nurse came back for 2 more hours!!! and when he awoke again he still could not breathe. They sent us on our way with a note that said follow up with your doctor and stop smoking.. which my boyfriend RARELY does. The next day we went to the doctors office, and he told them what had happened and they gave him xanax and a lung antibiotic. He has been complaining of headaches to me, and says that his anxiety is getting a little better but he still doesn't feel right. He says he wakes up in the morning with a headache... and its a shooting pain like someone stabbing him through the brain. He throws up almost everyday, and wakes up and spends the whole day nauseous and trying to keep back vomit. I did a test on him that I read online about with peripheral vision. I held my fingers up and started behind his head and slowly moved them forward and he couldn't see them until they were right in front of his face! He did the same test on me and I could tell his fingers were there right when they were at my ears. I'm so worried! He also has complained of bladder problems and pain. Also his sex drive has gone down significantly. We used to have sex every single day even more than once a day, now its cut down to once a week or less and it's really straining our relationship. I don't think this is just in his head though cause he has never had anxiety problems before. His behavior has also changed quite a lot. We never used to fight, or rarely and when we did it would last a few hours. Now we fight all the time, he's always angry and I have to watch what I say around him because I'm afraid it will anger him. I've been reading online and a lot of people had thought they had brain tumors but it just was anxiety, I told him we need to look into this and he says he wants to but I was just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms and been diagnosed with something or anything like that... I just really need some answers and help with this so please write back to me I'm so very worried about him I love him so much and this whole thing has been so hard on us and I just want him to get better... He also has complained of extreme back and neck pain... PLEASE write back! Anything will be greatly appreciated!!!

Sick for almost a YEAR!? So last August, 2010 I came over with a some kind of cold. One side of my throat was on fire and my tonsils filled up with white nasty pus. I came down with a fever of 104, chills, aches, congestion and coughing. I ended up going to the doctor where they swabbed my throat for a rapid strep test. The test came out negative (like I told them it would) as this wasn't my first go around. They gave me an anti-biotic and sent me on my way...like usual, thats always a doctors quick fix. The coughing went on and on, but the fever and everything went away. I went back to the doctor and she said I had a sinus infection, so she gave me a steroid so I would quit hacking so much and an antibiotic. She said the mucus running down my throat is what makes on side hurt. Ok well again, I began to feel better but continued coughing, Around December I went back and was like WTF.. I ASKED them to check me for Mononucleosis, as I read online that the symptoms were similar. The test came out negative. I also know it's not TB as I have to be tested for that for my job. Well this past Thursday the 10th, I started feeling awful at work, I got off at 7:00 and came home, got in bed with a 103 fever, only this time a very minimal sore throat. I have literally laid in bed all weekend, and taken Nyquil so I could sleep at night.I have tried a Neti-pot to clean out my sinuses, and I take dayquil. Looking at the time line I have not stopped coughing for almost a year now, and through the year of coughing, I come down with all of the other symptoms. As of right now, I feel like I'm getting hot flashes (and no i'm not going through menopause, i'm 23) I cough up yellow mucus when I can get it out of my luncgs , my nostrils switch sides on being congested and i'm a TINY bit short of breath, and taking a deep breath is a small struggle. Last night I couldn't breathe through my nose at all, which I was forced to sleep with my mouth open which almost ALWAYS gives me severe throat pain, that is usually the culprit of the white patches on my tonsils. (which I dont have this go around) I'm afraid of getting on an anti-biotic after anti-biotic because I dont want my body to become dependent to the point where they no longer help or I have no immune system left at all. I am so mentally and physically drained. I always get what ever 9 year old they just made a doctor who doesn't care about me. I don't have allergies and i'm very clean. I wash my hands constantly, I NEVER drink off of people, even my signifcant other..although I kiss him, lol makes no sense. Either way if someone can tell me if any of these things sounds familiar that would be awesome. Or maybe point me in the right direction, maybe a chest X-ray? I dunno....

I'm going through testing for a common heart promlem..can't remember the name? can you help me out? So my fiance called an ambulance the other night because I had felt weak, and short of breath and my heart felt funny, like it was pounding. I went to the hospital for tests and turns out I had an abnormal ECG, I went to my dr today and she said that I need to wear a holter monitor, for 48 hours, and then probably see a cardiologist. I also have to have another ECG done. She said something about my heart should beat twice and it only beats once in a certain spot?? aorta maybe? I don't know, I was kind of just worried. So she named the condition, and I can't for the life of me remember the name of it, and I want to look it up online... any suggestions or help? would be greatly appreciated! thanks :) OH! and if this helps.. she also told me to avoid cafeen, and not to take any sinus medication, because there is some sort of ingredient in sinus medication that can cause it to be worse. Ephed Something?

What are the chances that my doctors never fully tested me for Anemia? I've been sick for about 5 years. It started off with nausea, dizziness and anxiety (that I never had before) My doctors main concern was finding out what was causing the nausea and they diagnosed me with IBS. As I got a bit older I started noticing other symptoms that I couldnt describe before or didnt think were relivant such as extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, change of colour in toes, poor healing wounds, and weakness/decreased energy I looked up all the symptoms online and it came up with Anemia. Is there any chance that my doctors just never tested for Anemia because I didn't mention the other symptoms? Or is that a regular test they do regardless? I know I had my iron and B12 levels checked, my iron was low-normal about a year ago, could it have changed by now? Thank you!

How can I make my life better? I had severe allergic rhinitis and asthma. I was admitted to the hospital for catching pneumonia. After that I started reacting to perfume and since I was in grade 7 at the time my parents pulled me out of school and home schooled me. I was badly bullied at school due to being fat, being smart, being the tallest, talking like a girl, and having slued speech. People called me f*g, girls dissed me, teachers made me pick up garbage, several people jumped me (due to my size and strength) and it was a constant nightmare. The worst part was that I was a total wuss and I took garbage from people. After that I became friends with someone and I started hacking a game by using my own undetected cheat engine (modified in delphi), AOB searches, and basic assembly knowledge. I then became very popular and everyone liked me. However, I shared my account with someone and eventually said account got hacked after downloading a trainer (which installed a keylogger onto my computer) when the game engine was retouched. The person blamed me and things began going down hill from then. I couldn't even go to the park or go for walks since this person convinced everyone that I hacked our account. It literally was everyone against me. I was severely beaten and threatened with weapons so I couldn't fight back... on a daily basis. I then told the principal about my issues and things got even worse since I was labeled as a snitch. People would then take turns beating me. I then became allergic to perfumes and I told the teacher. She told everyone that it was ME who was allergic to perfumes and everyone started spraying perfume in my face and beating me (since I couldn't breath around perfume) When my mom pulled me out of school all I heard was my mom and dad fighting. My dad would yell at my mom and hit her. It was an even worse experience for me. My dad has beaten me severely 4 times in my life and my mom always emotionally abuses me for looking like him. After a lifetime of being called lazy, I finally had the courage to tell my guidance counselor at my home school about not being able to concentrate. Being in Canada, he insisted my parents take me to a psychiatrist and I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Every time I leave my house I will occasionally see people from that school, and they will attack me if I am alone. I have been unable to go to any public places for 4 years now. So basically that is my life story. I see my dream being resolved by continuing my studies and becoming more successful then those who gave me a hard time. I sometimes fantasize about getting revenge, but as a wise man once said: I am not trolling, everything said here is unfortunately true. My parents are supportive people and sometimes when I do something stupid or question them they will beat me up (which is understandable). They do not call me lazy anymore since I take ritalin daily. BTW: My real name is not Joe Smith (for obvious reasons) PS: I am home schooled and I write tests at an online school so I can't cheat. I forgot to add the quote, here it is: “Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated.”

Is this acute or the first signs of hiv I really need to know? Ok, so 9 weeks back I ended up having a one night stand. It was a drunkin night in vegas and well I don't remember anything except I wore a rubber. Well after coming home about a week and a half after being home I was so dehydrated I was exhausted like fall asleep standing up. After that went away, so week two or three I started feeling a little sick to my stomach, when I'd eat I would feel alittle like throwing up but it would subside in an hour or so.While having that I work out side I keep breaking out in small hives and red dots while working. The dr. told me it was just algeries. Well the next week my right hip started cramping really bad like I couldn't walk. It was just that hip and I started gettin stomach cramps in my lower right ab. That lasted about a week and half, so then i got diarrhea for about 2 weeks then still now so for about 4 weeks total I have had very loose stools. I have small amount of food that when I goto the bath room I didn't even digest the food. at the same time as getting diarrhea The top right side of my gums swelled up and they have just been swollen. No bad breath or nothing like that just swollen. Finally saturday I was trainning mma and after words at the end of the day I ended up with two huge white bumps full of pus. I didn't know if it was just two huge white heads or if it was follictiuis. How do you tell the difference? but after poping them they left two scabs on my arm Well here's the worse part, I was thinking it was my anxiety cause who wouldn't freak out being i'm married and all. Well my wife started having that sick feeling when she eats and ended with with diarrhea. well I told my dr the whole story he said it was a bug due to the fact my step daughter got sick being around me and also my cousin who I workout with got very ill but different symptoms. So I was just wondering what anyone thinks. I'm going to get another hiv test today, I had one at 3 weeks along with every other test and they all were neg. See reading online hiv can do anything you know, so I'm not sure what to think everyone just says a rash or flu-like. Well i never got a temp, and the dots I was getting was from bushes cause it still happens now.

A possible sign pulmonary embolism? I sometimes (happened only 2 times before) get a sudden sharp pain in my left side of my chest but it goes away in about 1 minute and hurts worse if I breath in or make any movement. But it doesn't feel like i have a shortness of breath. I only feel more pain but i can breath normally. This just happened a few minutes ago i feel ok just shaken up about it, I don't smoke either if that's a risk factor... I read could be caused by blood clots that could cause pulmonary embolism.. I'm only 22 can this affect anyone at any age? I know if it is PE it can be fatal if left untreated or so I've read online.. Is there any tests I can do right now at home to see if I have PE? Or will I have to get it checked out by a respiratory specialist doc right away? I'm still not sure yet if its PE or not or maybe something else..that's why I ask..

Pulmonary embolism causes permanent lung damage? I'm a 21 yr old female, never smoked, average weight. Last October I found out the hard way that I have a genetic blood clotting disorder (Factor V Leiden heterozygous) and ended up in the hospital for a few days with bilateral pulmonary embolisms. I'm on warfarin therapy for 6 months. After 5 months, my chest pain is completely gone but I'm still experiencing shortness of breath. Just from walking across campus, up a flight of stairs, or even having a fast-paced or high-stress conversation (say in a job interview for example). I've told my hematologist twice now that I'm still short of breath, but she keeps telling me that we'll run some tests in June after I'm off the warfarin. I just read online that permanent damage can be done to the lungs. My left lung was the worse and was only getting about half the bloodflow. My attending at the hospital said it had already shrunk a little but he acted like it would go back to normal. I didn't go to the hospital until 5 days after my pain started (stupid, I know). So a few questions, would the permanent damage caused by my embolisms make me short of breath? Is a PE likely to cause permanent damage? Since I'm young, is it possible I will be able to completely recover with more time? Any idea why my doctor is making me wait/suffer until June? What kind of tests can they do to see if I have said damage? I took a V/Q test when they first diagnosed me. Any help will be appreciated Note: I know I should talk to a doctor, but mine won't answer my questions and I'm already in a ton of debt because I have crappy insurance since I support myself.

Heart problems or anxiety? Please educated responses only. I've been having bad anxiety for about a week and a half now. I think triggered by reading about a few people I knew through online games dying and on top of that a tummy flu which is for the most part gone. But all that has left me anxious and with a fear of death even though I've always accepted death as a part of life. I guess I just don't feel like I've accomplished enough. I went to the doctor fearing heart problems, she gave me an EKG and another test, pink flow or something like that, my oxygen level was fine, and my heart was fine. Thats when she diagnosed me with anxiety and the tummy flu and prescribed me a low dose of Xanax. This was a week ago tomorrow (the 20th). The anxiety, or so I think it is, still hasn't subsided. I'm still having a little chest pressure, shoulder strain, shortness of breath (though I'm still passing my at home lung capacity test), and small pains in my chest and abs, and a little pressure in my lymph nodes area, I think from being scared and straining my jaw. Reading online I found these to be all symptoms of heart trouble. Just a little bit ago I had considerably bigger pains shoot through out my chest, very quick and it was gone. It was still enough to send me whirling downward into another panic attack. Could this be heart trouble or am I (still) being a hypochondriac as part of my anxiety? I have health insurance, but I have to have someone else drive me. I'm also careful not to jump the gun, my first anxiety attack landed me in the ER for the exact same thing almost 2 years ago - fearing heart problems. Absolutely nothing was found wrong with me. Please help me, I hate living like this. I was normal two weeks ago.

Breathing problems only 9 1/2 weeks, three different diagnoses, please help (long story)? I'm 9 1/2 weeks pregnant with my second baby and for about 2 months I've been having trouble breathing. I have to frequently take deep breaths and sometimes after taking several, I still do not feel like I got the refreshing breath of air I needed. I visited my family doctor and discussed the problems I was having. She mentioned that it could be Asthma or even allergies. She gave me a prescription for the generic form of Claritin (for the allergies) and told me to check with my OB about taking a Pulmonary Function Test (due to use of an inhaler during the test). My OB gave the go ahead and I took the test today. I'm really frustrated with how things went and I need some advice on what to do. First of all, she told me that the results of the PFT were inaccurate and explains that it is usually due to the lack of "coaching" from the test administrator (nurse). Then she goes on to say that she was able to get some results from the test and that I have Asthma. After telling me she is going to write me a prescription for an inhaler, I told her that I did not feel any better after taking the inhaler during the test. I asked if the prescription would be for the same thing, and she said it was. Then she goes on to say that if the inhaler didn't work I must be suffering from anxiety and tells me she is going to write me a prescription for Wellbutrin (but wants me to check with my OB on that one too). Now this one boggles my mind. I told her that I didn't really understand what anxiety was. As she was explaining it to me she started talking about how there is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed of (okay???) and how stress can have this affect on people. Now let me tell you, I am probably one of the least stressed people in this world and I feel very blessed to have it that way. And, even when I am stressed I feel that I handle it very well. On top of that I'm a pretty easy going happy-go-lucky type of person. I am a stay at home mom with a 20 month old daughter and I have a pretty laid back life. If anything I would say that it's more boring than anything lol. Yes, I have one on the way, but I feel way more comfortable with this one having went through it before than I did with my first baby. I have a stable life and a great husband (most of the time lol) that loves me more than anyone in the world. I just don't understand where the anxiety would come in. To sum it all up I have a prescription for Claritin because the allergies are causing these problems (which she told me to continue taking but IMO hasn't made a difference), I have a prescription for an inhaler because it's Asthma that is causing these problems and now she wants to write me a script for Wellbutrin because it must be anxiety. I am the type of person that takes medicine as a last resort. I just don't like to do it especially during pregnancy. On top of that I put doctors in the same category as mechanics, I don't mean any disrespect but I just have a hard time trusting them. It seems like she gave me a prescription for everything it COULD be. But has no clue what it actually is. I don't know what to do. I'm probably not going to take the Wellbutrin though. From what I read online it's mainly prescribed for depression and to help stop smoking. I don't think pregnancy is the time to start taking a serious drug like this. I'll probably stop taking the Claritin because it seems to have made no difference. What do I do? How can I get to the bottom of my problem? Has anything like this happened to you?

Is this Mononucleosis? Please help - I'm terrified!? On Valentine's Day Weekend I went on vacation for a few days with my father. The first day, I was fine, however on the second day, I got an incredibly sore throat, a high fever, night sweats, etc. My throat was so painful I couldn't talk and I couldn't swallow anything - my tonsils were so swollen I felt as if I were choking sometimes, and my lymph nodes were also unusually large and painful. When I got back I went straight to the doctor, who looked at my blood test results and told me while she didn't know if I had mono at that exact time, I had had it once within the last few months. She said it was very possible that I could either still have it or have gotten it again. It has been more than three weeks and I feel worse than before. While my throat is better, it is still slightly painful and my lymph nodes are a bit swollen. Worst of all, however, is how EXTREMELY tired and fatigued I am. I sleep all day and night, literally sometimes for more than 18 hours, and I never feel refreshed. Whenever I stand up, I get extremely dizzy, my vision goes really blurry, and my ears begin to ring and feel like they have unnatural pressure in them. Walking from the couch to the kitchen makes me really out of breath, as do things like brushing my teeth and drinking water. I have no appetite, I'm losing weight, and I'm getting so depressed laying around the house all the time. I can't even go out to pick up my laundry or go to the grocery store. Please, can someone tell me if this is normal mononucleosis? I've been reading online, and I haven't read anything about the shortness of breath or the temporary bad vision. I'm scared I might have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or even HIV. What's going on??? Thank you, and sorry this was so long.

My doctor won't listen to me!? Ugh it's so annoying I've been going to the only doctor that takes my insurance for over two years with basically the same problem, sometimes It's a little different but every time it comes back to I have a hard time breath and have what I think are asthma attacks. I got tons tests done for diabetes, thyroid problems, ect. Then he said it was because I was depressed and that what I think are asthma attacks are really just panic attacks. He gave me pills and they didn't do much so I stop taking them. Later he tell me it's my fault for not taking the pills so he did another blood test and was like "ok this is the last time I'm going to tell you, you are fine. Your just depressed" But I know what I feel and I don't feel right but I defiantly don't feel depressed. I have every single symptom of asthma except wheezing. And I told him that, and he said "Then it's not asthma because you aren't wheezing." I usually get it really bad in Spring which is when my allegories are the worst as well as stress with final and other end of the school stuff going on, which I read online that that can trigger asthma. What do you think, to you think I should trust my doctor that I'm fine or maybe just pay to see another doctor? Also what do you think asthma or not? :) Oh and my symptoms. I can't take a deep breath. Shortness of breath. Hard time sleeping. Coughing. Tight, and pressure / pain in chest. Kind of moody (not much but it's there) Shaky hands (sometimes) Dry mouth. (always thirsty) For the attacks: I get dizzy / light headed and can't breath right and it's not wheezing but I have to like gasp for air or keeping yawning to breath. Oh another thing is it's the worst right before bed or if I'm lying down. I don't if that makes a difference. But I think that is probably my own fault because that is when it's really quite and I can feel and hear I'm not breathing right ... and I get worried or scared I'll have an attack. lol

Starting Lexapro Today - Need Advice? I've suffered from panic attacks for about 5 years now. It took 6 months and a ton of diagnostic tests to rule out anything serious - and I mean everything under the sun. I've had almost every heart, brain, blood, and nerve test you can think of and everything says I'm healthy. I'm only 25 right now, and it's starting to effect my work and home life. After all those tests were done years ago, I was put on Paxil as it was assumed my symptoms (shortness of breath, racing heart, vertigo, trembling) but be due to panic attack or anxiety. I took it for about 2 years, and while it helped I felt like a zombie. After 2 years on it, I tapered off with little difficulty and was clean for about a year. Now, about a month ago, my problems suddenly came back. I've been having panic attacks every day for weeks, and I simply cannot risk losing my job. So, after asking my friends who have dealt with similar problems, they highly recommended Lexapro as they claim it's easier to start and manage the side effects from. Now, being the anxious person I am, I research it online in many places (medical sites to forums), and in general it seems like the best option for me. However, I'm a bit scared because some people say it gives them heart palpitations and shortness of breath, which seems WEIRD to me considering it should only effect seratonin levels. Is it something I should be worried about? I don't want to take something that will give me symptoms like that and just make me panic MORE. My understanding was that nausea, headache, dry mouth, insomnia, and decreased libido were the common side effects... but I never heard of HEART or RESPIRATORY problems. Should I be worried about this? I'm only starting at 5mg. Thanks and god bless.

Do I have Congestive Heart Failure? I'm 26 years old, Male and Chinese by race. Over the past 3 years I have felt a dull ache over the area of my left chest. I have also felt that my extremeties, fingers and feet, tend to experience pins and needles (tingling) often when I sit on the toilet bowl, or rest my arms on the arm chair. I also feel fatigue. I am also experiencing a little shortness of breath, but however this shortness of breath does not seem worst with exercise. On the contrary, when I exercise (running) and take multi vitamins, my symptoms subside and I feel more energetic and better. I have also checked with a cardiologist 2 years ago, had an ECG test and echo cardiogram test done but the cardiologist said that I'm a fine young man with nothing wrong and the dull ache is probably a muscle ache. I would also like to mention that I have experienced 2 panic attacks from the shortness of breath. Some background, I have been a smoker from 19 yrs old but have quit since and I had surgery done for a prolapse disc in my L4/5 spinal region. I was also diagnosed GERD. I am slightly overweight with a BMI of 25 and my job requires me sitting in front of the computer for long periods of time. I have been researching online but it would be great if someone could help me out. Could I be suffering from Congestive Heart Failure? My symptoms seem to go away with exercise... for congestive heart failure patients, are they able to exercise at all? Or are my symptoms due to inactivity at the moment? Hope someone can help!! Thanks ~ Andrew

I need to figure out what my bf has. He has shoulder pain. I believe the pain either started in his hand or? shoulder then radiated down to his hand then threw his other shoulder down to his other arm I think it started in his left. I am not quite sure on that one. He has been having some heart burn as well. He as some shortness of breath to like if he were to take a 10-15 min walk. When he got his shoulder/arm pain actually he woke up with it. The doctors said it was a pinched nerve. I do not believe that. His doctor sent him to a neurologist. They did tests both of his arms. The nerves were fine. The only thing they found was carpel tunnel thats was it. So we know its not a nerve problem either He is 30 years old. His weight is 240. His total cholesterol is 235. His bad cholesterol is like 500. I am not sure what his good cholesterol was but i know it was low. He just got his results for his cholesterol yesterday. His white blood count is slightly elevated. His doctor is going to do another cbc to check it out again to see maybe he was having an infection at the time. His doctor also said that his kidney test was a bit elevated as well. She gave him a urine test to see if she could figure that out. Also he smokes cigarettes to. The doctor said something about his red blood cells well his body has to make more of them to get oxygen to his body. I cant recall what test it was he took. She said that something with his lungs & not being able to make enough red blood cells & then his body needs to make more red blood cells to get oxygen to his body. He don't want to quit smoking. He don't want to go on a diet either. He don't want to take cholesterol pills either. Hes very stubborn. Now on top of this i believe he has fibromyalgia to. I do not think he has a thyroid problem cause he was tested for that to. He has the regular symtems that normal peple have for fibromyaglia patients. Pain every where. I do not think that his shoulder pain/arm pain is from the fibromyalgia. Having to sleep alot at least 10 hours per day. I think its early heart symtems. I do not know what else it would be. I have checked on the heart attack symtems like online & stuff & most of those signs mimic the signs he has. He is not willing to listen to me. Thats why i am here. I want every one's opinion! Help. Thanks..

I am having a couple symptoms I haven't heard of before. Could this be early pregnancy? I have not been able to find these online but this is what I am experiencing: - Everything tastes weird (including water) - My breath stinks and my mouth is dry no matter how much water i drink - My nipples look lighter and are hard all the time - My throat is phlemy but I have no other sign of getting a cold - I had a weird cramp in crease of my leg all day on Sunday I also have acid reflux, and some cramping. I am 8dpo and think it is probably still too early to test. Would it be too early for symptoms even? I have not had any spotting. Any advice on when I should test and if these are signs? Just to clarify, I am trying to conceive.

Am I obsessive/paranoid about this? Ok, so June 6th I drank some gin for the first time, got out of breath, wokeup the next day with a cough sensation in my trachea. Had every test done, EKG, Chest X-Ray, liver/gallbladder ultrasound, pulmonogy/lung function tests, endoscopy, barium swallow, all of it was negative. I was put on a trial of pills, from antibiotics, to ativan, to every h2 blocker, PPI/antacid out there including Protonix, Zegerid, etc. None of it did anything. I frantically searched things online all summer, and now I have a lot of burping, bloating, fatigue, heart palpitations, and a sore/irritated throat with the cough. I went to an ENT today, gave him my history, and he did a visualization of my trachea. He went down with a laryngoscope all the way to the windpipe and even put it on a screen so I could see. There was no irritation, no signs of any reflux. I get the pain/burning/cough constantly, all day, no flare ups, no food-related issues. He said if it was that frequent, "LPR/GERD/Reflux" would show up on the laryngoscope or the endoscopy, or at least be responsive to the pills. He's evaluating me for thyroid problems because he says that exact spot of pain is where the thyroid is. I felt so much relief after hearing the laryngoscope found nothing, but when I went home I started searching up stuff again (stupid me) and started finding obscure medical polls and random people saying "You can have LPR with no laryngoscopy signs!" etc. I started feeling sicker as I read it, and now I'm freaking out again. I feel like I need to go BACK to the ENT just so he can look at it again and re-assure me. Is this psychological? How do I get this out of my head? I am very analytical and it is hard for me to get things out of my head once they get in. I was feeling great once I got the results from the laryngoscoping, even my burping decreased, but now that I read just 2 or three obscure websites that say "you can still have it without a laryngoscope sign" (which makes no sense) I am freaking out and feeling worse. Can someone help me with some advice? There may be something wrong, like a thyroid problem, but I'm not sure.

What do these symptoms sound like?? HIV? Cirrhosis? Please...I need someone to help me. I don't trust doctors. A lot of times they are wrong with their diagnosis, so I feel more comfortable asking this on Yahoo answers. I will tell you my symptoms and experience and if ANYONE has ANY insight into what my problem may be...please respond. I am hoping the good spirits will lead me in the right direction as I've had these problems for over 10 years now. OK, so when I was a child I was pretty healthy...I got earaches from time to time and strep throat. I never had sex with anyone until I was 18. but I had bad breath when I was in school but not chronic. I think it was just due to a dry mouth but it was definitly worse than average so I had some underlying problem, I am sure of it. Also the infections were more than normal. Then at age 17 I had a MASSIVE overdose on MDMA AND SPEED during a 3 day binge (I know I was a moron and I deserve what I got,...but I didnt know how bad it was for you back then...but I still shouldnt of taken so many pills) I almost died. I went to the hospital and they couldnt figure out what was wrong. They said it was heroin withdrawl. I am sure that wasnt it. I dont think there was heroin in the pills. Even with the brown dots in them, I was told heroin in pills is a rumor. So, thats besides the point. Ever since the overdose, I have had insanely serious health problems. I also smoked weed everyday for 10 years (all day long...I was considered the biggest pothead in my town) I am sure this weakened my immune system since I did not do it in moderation. I will explain all my symptoms here in a moment. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. So, I think the pot is also a factor. Since I quit, I have felt slightly healthier. My serotonin seems to be back....My parasites have reduced, etc. So, I relate that to my immune system. Anyways, my symptoms are White Coated Tongue (also it is yellow sometimes...and it's severe....brushing wont get rid of it....the only thing that reduces it is eating all raw food and living a healthy lifestlye...which is hard for me to do all the time) Alslo i have a swollen and (sometimes) dried up ankle(mostly when I drink a lot of alcohol). It's also looks like my ankle is "scarred" ...this could be when it got real dry and I picked the skin off and it started bleeding, but it was dry for 10 years. People would look at it and say "What's wrong with your ankle!?" So, it is very abnormal. I looked up online and I think its ankle edema. My lower leg is also usually swollen. I am sure the overdose messed my liver up as I always have horrible breath even if I brushed and flossed 10x a day it wouldnt help. I know my body is overun by bacteria...thats ovbious to me. I am not sure what diseaes I have though since the doctors never diagnosed me correctly (and also i am AGAINST taking prescription drugs, as they also weaken your immune system...so I stopped going to the doctor over 8 years ago...since they never helped me anyways) I started eating as good as possible (organic foods, etc) but i also have been eating a lot of fast food now lately. I know I need to stop that as it just makes things worse. So, I know what to do, I just need to know what I could have, I am wondering if it might be HIV. I am terrified of needles so I dont want to get an HIV test. Also I've only had sex with 1 girl in my life....and she had the HIV test and came up negative...so I might not have HIV...but then again..I do have the symptoms of it. I also have bad parasites....I can see them when I goto the bathroom...they explode when they hit the toilet...and consquently I also have explosive diarhea (ESPECIALLY for the first 3 days after I quit smoking marijuana....which i rcently quit...but I am still having them right now as we speak) I have quit marijuana several times in my life and everytime I got the explosive diareha. One time I got severe Nausea and vomiting and was CHOKING on my own vomit. I couldnt breath and almost died. I got lucky and got some marijuana which stopped me from throwing up and saved my life. Now I dont get those severe symptoms anymore. Just headacles, and diareah and nausea, but no severe vomiting (thank god!) I think that is due to my years of eating healthy that has strengthened my immune system. Now dont be afraid to tell me I might have HIV...I am NOT a hypocondraict and I will not freak out over it. I really want to know...if I am told i have it...it will be even more motivation for me to do everything healthy so i can cure it. I know the "Cure" word is illegal for health people to use, but I know HIV can be cured...I believe in spiritual healing as well. I think this is the reason I am still here today. I mean, I have had these symptoms for SO LONG now (over 10 years) that you'd figure I would of gotten worse or died. I have actually gotten healtheir. I have heard of people with AIDS who have gotten healtheir to the point to where they only had HIV...so I believe that. I may be one of those cases. I by the way I KNOW the pills had MDMA and Speed (but i seriously doubt heroin)in them because I know what both do to you. I had two different types. I had the pink panthers which were very high dose of MDMA (even one led me to seeing vibrations..but I took 10 of them in 2 days) And I had 5 white bombs which were straight amphetemines) I had the overdose in 1999 when pills were much stronger. You could compare it to eating about 50 pills in 3 days for nowadays stength.Plus you're not supposed to mix MDMA and speed...it makes it more toxic. The short term effects were mostly heart problems and I couldnt sleep) I should of died. I definitly had a higher power watching over me. By the way I am not overweight at all. I am skinny. I am 30 years old and look like I'm 17....(no exageration)so I havent aged at all either during this crisis. I should of added that in my description. And my bones are very weak. I broke my finger from simply wrestling a friend. I used to wrestle all the time when I was younger and never even came close to breaking any bones..

Mild tricuspid regurgitation with a pressure gradient of 16mmHg? What does this mean? Had an EKG done - abnormal; had an echo done - results are: "....left atrium normal... left ventricular wall thickness...normal...no segmental wall motion abnormality...color flow doppler study reveals mild tricuspid.... I was reading a few things online and am a bit worried....

Am I ok or is my doctor right? Hi. Well for the past month or so I have been having weird symptoms. Fatigue Bone pain/tenderness Shortness of breath Lately ive been having some bruises that come out of nowhere but Im not sure if that means anything. Anyways I went to my doctor and told her all the things that have been going on with me. She told me that the bone pain is probably from lifting heavy things. But i havent been lifting heavy things, and i even told her that. She just said mhm. Im like ok. She didnt say anything about me being tired. And as for the shortness of breath, she told me its because im not active. I have never been active and it just started. So i dont know. And ive been losing weight not gaining. And for the brusing I didnt actaully tell her about that because she looked at me like i was crazy. oh and also i have these little pin point red dots. she told me that if they dont itch theyre fine. But my problem is that me and my friend were looking up my symptoms online (this was her idea) and it said my symptoms could be leukemia. we were just playin around but then i kinda got scared. I didnt tell my doctor that i thought it was leukemia because she would think that im this little kid that wants attention blah blah. And believe me i dont want attention, why would i make this up? im fourteen btw. So yea me and my mom asked if i could get a blood test just to make sure i dont have anything. And the doctor just told us that she couldnt because if shes not looking for anything then she doesnt want to take my blood. Is she wrong not to take my blood if i want a blood test? i mean what if i really have something? Anyways do you think somethings wrong with me? or is it just a coincidence that all these things are happening? Thanks.

Asthma from climate change? ok so i lived in Illinois until i was about five, during this time it was discovered that i have/had asthma, so i moved to Texas and for probably two or three years i still had asthma, then somehow it just went away, i lived a very normal life with no problems at all. i am now 18 and have moved back to Illinois, i have been here for about seven months so far, after having been here for about five months in January i got bronchitis. This has cleared up but still have almost constant shortness of breath was/am very concerned about this thinking i had emphysiema, pulminary hypertension, pulminary fibrosis, like every lung disease i found online i thought i had lol which made me very anxious to the point were i was giving myself constant panick attacks and had to go to the e.r. a couple. the e.r. dr. ran tests on me and also did a chest x-ray on two occasions, both times everything was normal, told me possibly anxiety. also have been to dr. many times in past few months, she said maybe asthma. Then went to pulminoligsit had pulminary function test, said everything was normal! and that i just have mild asthma. he did however put me down for a cat scan next week just to make sure everything is fine, and if nothing else give me peace of mind(if possible). its terrible though because i feel like i can never get a full breath like my lung capacity is now diminished, i cant smoke anymore, and my physical activity is greatly limited, im pretty much miserable. My breathing feels like its HALF of what is was. sometimes it is worse than others but its terrible because its never how it used to be. im hoping maybe its just because of change of climate? and when i go back to texas ill get better? also has anyone felt like this before? anyway to make it better? THANK YOU!!!

My dogs back two legs are paralyzed, please help me!? My dog was playing outside on Friday and he colapsed with a yelp. He tried to get up but was unable to move his 2 back legs. We rushed him to the vet who took x-rays, then sent us to an emergency veterinary clinic so that my dog, Buddy could be checked out by the neurologist. They ran a test on him where they put him under full anastetics and put dye into his body so that they could see what was going on. They said that they do not belive that he requires surgery, but want to keep him till Monday (today) so that the radiologist can take a look at him and the test results. The neurologist said the test results showed some bizzare pattern, which really scares me. Apparently all the radiologists were at some convention in the USA this weekend so thats why we had to wait (I live in Toronto). They said that it was either FCE, Type 1 or Type 3 disc something... I dont remember what she called it. If it is Type 1 he will need surgery, but it looks like that is not the case. Apparently the Type 3 is similar to FCE, and neither can be helped with surgery. She also said it dosent look like either of these, but it is definitly spine related. Does anyone know anything about this Type 1 or Type 3?? It is also possible it is none of these things, thats what we are waiting to find out. He does not appear to be in pain, just a little confused about why he cant move. And when the vet scartched the bottom of his paw he jumped, so he does seem to have atleast some pain sensation. I have been crying non stop. I am so unbareably upset, and terrified for my furry baby. I want to go visit him and the vet told me, "I am not going to tell you that you cant, but we dont reccomend it because we dont want him getting anxious". Apparently when I left on Friday he was quite anxious watching me leave. Now I feel even more terrible for not visitng him. I bet he is so scared and that just brakes my heart. I dont want him to think I abandoned him during his time of need and I KNOW he will be so happy to see me. I love his SOOOO much! He is only 8 years old and he means the world to me. We already put down a deposit of $2,000 and the vet said in the end this could end up costing us $5,000, minus the cost of after care. We are certainly not rich, but we will make it work somehow. I have already been looking online at harnesses, wheelchairs, and animal rehabilitation centers in my area. Sorry for such a long post, but I just feel like I am in the midst of a nightmere. I cant think or concentrate, my heart feels heavy, and I keep sobbing, so much that I feel like I cant breath at times. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. P.S. He is being catherized so that he can pee. I googled this and when I saw what it was I was so freaked out. Does this hurt? It looks like it would be VERY uncomfortable.

I Have red spots back of my throat for more than 3 months now.? I kissed a unknown girl on may 2007 and also she suck my ... After we were done. I felt like i caught something a virus or something.

What should I do with my life? Ha! If I knew it would hit me like this I would have never breath my first breath. What should I do? I have a pretty good idea...*not suicide of course. : P* I have no real friends. I can't pass the stupid written driving test, even though I know the answers. I have no job, I've been looking since March but only got as far as an interviews. Tried starting my own business but that only put me further in time, money. I sold most of my things on online. And I can't join the military as a job because they said "NO, YOU HAVE ASTHMA"...O.O Another thing is my mother won't stop bugging me about it. She sees how hard I try. And won't let me become a bum and ask for change or collect cans because of HER rep. I'm in school but barely getting financial aid for books. Enough ranting, what should I do?

What do you think of this? I was reading short stories online & I fell in love with this part. Tell me what you think: "Jayden!" she jumped up in the bed sitting upright clutching the sheet to her chest. "Do you honestly think that, ME, Jay bird, is actually capable of even thinking a bad thought about you?" He spun, facing the mirror, and slapped his hand down onto her dresser. With his head hung and his eyes shut in a adoring fashion he began to speak. "When you walk into room I swear I forget to breath. I love everything about you and my God, I hate it. I love the way your little nose crinkles up when ever you're about to see a Spanish test. I love how your little hands fit perfectly in mine. I love how every morning you have to brush your hair 100 times and you end up throwing it into a messy plop on the top of your head. I think I love your crazed fetish for Cookies. But I hate, Jayden, that I can't help but picturing myself there in every single scenario." He finally opened his eyes. "Sitting behind you in Spanish and wondering how anyone could get lower then a 50." He laughed. "I'm in your room every morning yelling at you to hurry up because your picking at everything is going to make us late. God knows I have the marks to prove I am around when you eating cookies. Gabriel moved to kneel in front of the bed, taking her hands in his. He took a deep breath in and exhaled. "I don't want to need you so much Jayden. It scares me. I need you to know that we are on the same page. So, if you scared, unsure, or just not willing, I want you to diminish your fears. Because this is going to happen.

Could I be pregnant? Mothers and mothers to be help please? My body has been doing some weird things lately. First my breast got tender a little early this month. Then I had sharp pains in my uterus...nothing really painful, but noticeable. Then my discharge completely stopped...that has never happened to me before since I hit puberty years ago. Then I got my "period" a week early. I looked up the sharp pains online and it said that it could be your uterus stretching and that the early period could be implantation bleeding. My period is a little lighter than normal and also brighter....i have been having back pains and I also gained a moderate headache yesterday...I looked this up and it also said these are signs of early pregnancy. I then developed a stuffy nose and kept sneezing last night, but I am fine today so I looked that up which the net said that developing cold like symptoms is also a sign and your body's way of breaking down your immune system so it won't fight off the baby as an invader. THEN I could BARELY breathe last night...I was really short of breath. This has happened to me before in the past after drinking light alcohol, but I have not been drinking because of me being skeptical about me being pregnant. I looked that up as well...and guess what...another early sign of pregnancy. It seems as if everytime I look up a symptom my body is having without even typing in "pregnancy", the net relates it back to pregnancy and I do NOT expect that to be the answer, such as for headaches and stuffy noses, difficulty in breathing...etc. If I am NOT pregnant then I have NO idea what is going on with my body lately. I want to take a pregnancy test but I read if I am having implantation bleeding that I have to wait a little while for the results to be most accurate. Some people have taken tests during or shortly after the implantation bleeding and returned neg. results when they were indeed pregnant. I don't want to be misled. Thoughts everyone? Thanks. P.S. If I am I could have conceived at the end of October or earlier this month....

16 and may be pregnant, can anyone talked to me? Im 16, my boyfriend and i used the pull out method. He took it out right before he ejaculated, he even had to finish it himself. Its been 8 days now. Im not expecting my period for another 14days. So, having a missed period cant help me now. I am showing signs of pregnancy. Signs im having, Constipation, bloating, heartburn, mood swings, nausea (but not throwing up, becoming dizzy and feeling like i have to throw up but havnt yet) Eating more and more than i usually do and never seem to be getting "full". Stress, tierd a lot, and i get out of breath more when im lifting things and working. I get side aches when i walk to much and lift things. Do you think im pregnant? And if you do, then should i take a pregancy test? Even though i havnt had my period yet or missed period. Can i take one? Im very worried and have no one to talk to about this. My boyfriend suggested online answers. Please help me. Im scared. ~Sara Also, even if i wait to take a test till my missed period, i dont think it would work. Becuase some women still have there period when they are pregnant. So waiting for a missed period is pointless right now, plus i cant wait 2more weeks to find out. So how do i find out?? you all say to early to tell, well i did use the pullout method a few months ago too, could these be signs from the sex i had a few months ago, not this one? But i have had my period.

Does this sound like leukemia? I have been having weird symptoms and my friend looked online and said that I could have leukemia. These are some of the symptoms I have been having: fever, paleness, weakness, shortness of breath, weight loss, nose bleeds, headaches, bruising easily, frequent urinaton, EXTREMELY sore and swollen lymph nodes, and sore ankles. The same pain that I have in my neck lymph node I have in my armpit and leg. I am 14 and am not overweight...here are my questions. Why would I have these symptoms, like why would leukemia make that happen? How do they test for leukemia? What will they do to me if I do have leukemia? Assume that I do have it, and if you think you can help me PLEASE email marina_mercier@yahoo.com. Thanks

please help! sick, undiagnosed, and scared!? hey guys. i'm a 16 year old female, and i was always pretty healthy. i don't drink, smoke, do drugs, etc. but i've been really sick lately and no one can tell me why. it all started about 2-3 months ago. i started getting this constant pounding heart. it was really annoying. then i started getting sicker. i have really bad sinus pain and pressure in my head. my nose is always stuffed up. i have irregular periods, and i have to go to the bathroom alot more. my throat is yucky-feeling, extremely swollen, dry, and sore. i also have occasional ringing in my ears. it's so weird. i also have a strange awareness of my own breathing all the time. sometimes i'm short of breath and have to sigh and yawn alot. i was diagnosed about a month or so ago with h.pylori, but i don't think that's what's causing all my symptoms. i feel like i have this constant flu or illness ALL the time. i can't do much physical activity, and i have trouble eating. even when i'm hungry, i just feel like i can't eat. i also shake ALOT. everyone tells ne it's anxiety, but i seriously think something it's something else that's making me sick. i'm kinda worried. i'm going to the clinic next week for some tests and stuff (thyroid, lyme disease, blood sugar, etc.). i've also have had 3 ultrasounds/echo done on my heart, and some blood tests. everything was normal. see, my "illness" or whatever is really wierd. somedays i feel somewhat ok, then the next day or so i feel completely awful. i don't think i have anything life threatening or anything (at least i hope not!). and i think that my heart is probably fine, and that maybe it's just reacting or something. could i possibly have dysautonomia or chronoic fatigue syndrom? i'm NOT a hypochondriac. and anxiety MAY play a part of my "illness", but i'm still sick. i feel like i have a contsant "flu" or something. i just wish i at least knew what it was. i'm tired of being sick. i know it's hard to make a diagosis online, but does anyone have any thought, ideas, advice, opinions, etc., that might help me? any one have any idea as to what is causing all my misery. well, my grandpa was diagnosed with diabetes. i guess i will be checked for that also. thanks for the advice! p.s. i also forgot to mention that i don't have fevers, even when i feel like i do, and i've NEVER fainted or passed out. i also sweat alot more than usual. it's strange. but i only sweat alot under my arms. i feel so freakishhhhh!!!!!!!!! :( i also have irregular periods and one my big toes were really red and sore. one was hurting and painful, went away, and then the OTHER big toe had the same thing. really weird.

I need family advice NOW!? I'm 17 and my sister is 19. She's home for 2 weeks before fall term of college (her sophomore year) begins, and I'll be a senior in high school. However, living at home right now is hell on earth. She demands that I do everything for her. She doesn't have her driver's license but I do, so any time she wants to go somewhere I have to take her. I pay for the gas in my car (it's a 1999 Saturn, I got it when my grandma's uncle died, it was his and the estate was selling it dirtcheap so I bought it). Today she said that she wanted to go to her friend's house so, when I was busy buying my books online for school, she demanded that I drive her (it's 35 minutes away). I told her that I couldn't right then, she would have to wait until I was done and either take the bus or not go today. She immediately launched into a screamfest and yelled at me "No you dirty little f*cker, you're going to get your *** out into the car and you're going to take me! I don't give a sh*t about your books!" and began punching my shoulder, which I wrenched yesterday prepping the boat to take out fishing tomorrow. I told her to knock it off and stop hitting me and she refused. She punched me again so I grabbed her arm to keep her from hitting my shoulder (it hurts really badly, even after a max dose of Tylenol) and she screamed. Then my dad came downstairs and said "Shut the f*ck up and if I ever see you touch her again I'll break your f*cking arm." I told him what went on and he said "Yeah right, I would have heard it." (he's deaf in his right ear from working in a factory for 30 years, and has partial hearing in his left). Then under her breath, she said "So there b*tch, get off your *** and take me NOW." I told her no because I was still working, so she went upstairs. Then I heard a noise of a crash upstairs, so I went up to see--she was in my room looking for my car keys and in the process knocked over the picture frame on my desk onto the floor, and it shattered. I told her to get the broom to clean up the glass, and she said "Oh, I didn't do it!" when she clearly did. By the time I got the glass cleaned up most of the way, I noticed my keys were gone, and heard the car alarm go off--she tried to open the door with the key but I locked it with the remote, so she couldn't get in. I took my keys back and went inside and my dad yelled at me for having glass on the floor in my room and I told him that she knocked it over when she was getting the keys, and he said "Big deal, suck it up. Take her to her friend's house" I had just finished buying my books so I got in the car and went to take her, and told her I needed to get gas for the 70 mile roundtrip, and she was going to pay me gas money. She said to forget it and took the bus. When she got home later, I was cooking dinner (grilled chicken and broccoli alfredo) and she demanded that I make something different because she wanted pizza instead. I explained that we didn't have anything to make it and I had already started this, and she said fine and stomped off. I finished dinner and we began to eat, and she said "Eww, this tastes like dog sh*t" (even though the rest of us thought it was very good; I've won an award for this recipe), spat out her mouthful (she eats like a pig) and stomped off. I was angry and I excused myself from the table to calm down. I came back and the rest of us finished dinner normally. Then just now I came downstairs after finishing all the dinner chores (cleaning the table, rinsing the dishes, starting the dishwasher, etc) and sat down, and instantly she got up, shouted "Goddamn you, why the f*ck are you still here? Don't you get that I hate your guts and wish that you wouldn't f*cking live here? Stop breathing you little bastard!" and ran upstairs and slammed the door. My dad came downstairs and began yelling at me for "annoying her" and when I got up to rinse out my soda can before recycling it, I lost my balance and put out my arm to catch myself before I landed on my bad knee (I chipped it in April when I fell up the Acropolis in Athens), and then he grabbed my arm (the same one she had punched earlier, that was already wrenched) and pulled it out and then yelled at me. He just went to work now, so thankfully there's a bit of peace here now. What can I do? This has been going on since she came home Friday night. My parents are basically doing whatever she wants to keep her willing to come home (she doesn't want to come home a whole lot because she goes to college 400 miles away). I've talked to them about this before and they don't listen. I don't know how I'm going to be able to take another 2 weeks of this. It's so bad right now that I don't know how to take 2 more weeks of this. I've been down a lot over the last several months, and I've gotten it checked out--2 weeks ago, my tests came back negative, so I am not depressed nor do I have a mental health issue. What can I do to be able to stand the next 2 weeks? My own sanity is on the line! I'm deleting this soon as both my sister and my dad are on this website. She is bipolar and has 4S. I've discussed this just now with my dad, and now he really does know what's been going on. He apologized like crazy and is coming home from work now. I don't have any bruises, she didn't punch hard (she's very weak, it's just that my shoulder hurts from prepping the boat--I strained it lifting the anchor). My dad has never hit me.

what illness causes sore throat, fever, swollen gums, headache, and fatigue? I developed a blister on my bottom lip like last week. i went to the infirmary and they said it wasnt anything....that i just bit my lip. Then i developed a sore throat and had hot/cold flashes+fever for 2 nights in a row...one night resulted in me getting vertigo? in which everything went bright and legs buckled and i almost collapsed getting back to bed. Ive been drinking shitloads of tea and taking ibuprofen. I havent had any appetite until today. the sore throat isnt that bad either. i was tested for strep and its not it...its some kind of virus. my tongue is coated in white stuff...then this morning i noticed my lower jaw gums are a bit swollen? dunno why...prolly cuzz of my nasty breath and sore throat and disease? they're just kind of pink and swollen a bit...no pain..no bleeding. Im graduating from college tomorrow and i hope to god ill be able to deal with it...prolly hopped up on drugs. what do u guys think it could be? I couldnt find any answers online. Oh by the way I forgot to mention that ive already had mono before. isnt it like you cant get it again? And i was vaccinated for meningitis 4 years ago to be able to get into the university. One of my lymph nodes on my neck is a little swollen too now. But my appetite returned and I dont have headaches or fatigue anymore. am i getting over it slowly? I also have phlegm in my throat which sometimes comes up into my nasal passages and I might cough every so often but theyre dry not wet

Seattle-area members with allergies - does Zyrtec work for you? I didn't have any allergies until I moved up here from South Florida. I haven't been tested but I'm probably allergic to pine or the pollens that we have here. Allegra D works well for me but even on my insurance it costs me over $60 for 30 tabs and during the spring I have to take two tablets a day so that's $4 a day just so I can breath! Allegra D is off-the-shelf in Canada so I pick a few boxes up when I'm up there or order them online from a Canadian drug store which only costs me about $20 a box. I'm wondering if anyone with similar allergies up here (again UP HERE I don't want to hear from those of you that frequent the Seattle section that don't live here) have tried Zyrtec now that it's no longer prescription? Would be much easier if I could just buy that at local stores then deal with my Canadian allergy med smuggling lol https://www.canadadrugsuperstore.com that's the one I use for the Allegra D Thanks, Pretty Kitty! :)
