Health - 18 July 2006

A year ago my son (at that time he was 11) was diagnosed as Bi-Polar (severe symptoms). We have dealt w/ a year of him stealing, being very violent to me and his sisters, and violent fits of rages. We have him on Depakote, & Risperdol. He was on Seroquel but that was making his blood sugar too high. We need some help b/c he is getting stronger and bigger and we are scared he will hurt us. He sees a therapist once a week and a Dr once a month. He has been in 5 day treatment centers when he has his rages, but that doesn't seem to work. The Behavorial Health center we go to is trying to get him into a Residential Treatment Facility. His Pychological he had last summer recomended that. Any suggestions?

You hear people say the guys/gals got a great mind- to bad they dont use it- i always thought the two were the same until you stop to relise that some people have the capacity to do great works, excellent with numbers etc, but can see the answer to basic questions- right/wrong, drink/dont drink- cheat/dont cheat- it sad that we dont use more of what God gave us to live our lives to the fullest- sometimes i think if we let our brains work like the machinery they are to run the body that we have life would be somewhat different then it is today. using your mind gives you the ability to make choices, using your brain would actually give you the right answers-

Ok, I have a herniated disk in my lower back and I'm considering surgery to take care of it. I've tried physical therapy and I've had 2 "lumbar epidurals" which are basically cortisone shots given right near your nerve. Anyway, none of these has helped so far. I'm just trying to get some people's opinions on whether surgery works most of the time or not. Thanks!!!

my best friend. He is bipolar. He has a child and saw him over weekend. Loves him to death. Not living with them. He quit a job he hated (but normally would go right out to find another). Would also normally call or come visit. Has been in bed mostly since returning from visit. Says he is ok on the phone and just loves to sleep. I said "you are not ok" and he says "yes I am" - he's in his 30s - needs to work but won't get out of bed. Called to make sure I knew he was ok and didn't "sound" down but he's not right. He's bipolar. What can I do to make him come out in the world? I can't go to his home and he won't always answer phone. I can email him though. He won't take meds (I understand the meds issues though). When he's down, how can I get him out and about without sounding demanding (he doesn't like that) and yet be caring? I need him back to being him again as I'm really scared right now.

I'm taking an AP english class next year and part of the class requires the students to read a list of books provided by the teacher during summer break. Every time I pick up the book and start reading I look at the words but I'm not grasping them, Im daydreaming and thinking about other things and when I get to the bottom of the page I realize I dont have any idea what I just read. Any meditations or ideas on what I can do to focus my attention where it needs to be?

In TN India, I have seen families getting infected one by one and I suspect that it could be contagious and not necessarily transmitted through the mosquitos
