Health - 7 August 2006

Can't cope. We're worried about her. Her children sit around like pigs in muck, the house is a tip of empty containers and boxes, books and papers. There's no room to move. They're sick from gastric problems at the moment, which is no surprise. We want to help her, how do we do so without offending her? Believe me, Aggie & Kim have seen nothing like this poor woman. You cannot even make a cup of tea because the kitchen is so full of clutter you cannot get to the kettle. She's definitely got psychiatric problems. She's a lovely person, it's just all too much.

2 Episodes of Diarrhea and Birth Control Pill Effectiveness?

I take my birth control pill everyday at 9PM.

The next day, around 9AM, I had an episode of diarrhea. The stool wasn't quite liquidy but a lot came out fast (it was somewhat formed).

Three hours later I had another mild episode of diarrhea.

Would these two episodes have affected my birth control pill's effectiveness? I called numerous pharmacists and they said it wouldn't but I want to get your guys' opinions...

Please don't stereotype those with bipolar?

I have been living with bipolar for about 8 yrs now, and it's bothering me how people with this illness are stereotyped. People talk about how off the wall and wacko Tom Cruise is, then someone will say, yeah he's bipolar or something. Or someone commits a murder or awful act and is diagnosed with bipolar, then people don't trust anyone who bipolar thinking they will be the same way. I just want those to know that I'm diagnosed with it, yet I have no violent history whatsoever. I'm a hard-working and loving mother to my children, and I worry for people and want the best for others. I'm not trying to complain, I just want you all to know that because every person is different, also every person with bipolar is different. I feel ashamed and guilty to tell anyone of my illness for fear that they will not trust me or think I am dangerous. Does any one out there having bipolar know how I feel? Thank you for hearing me out. Take care!

Why do Doctors contradict each other?

If I had a full bottle of medication that is more than a month old the nurse practitioner flushes my medication as an "intervention" and writes me a prescription for a narcotic, am I in the wrong for refusing to take any medication or go back and deal with it, when I have 3 people who went to medical school who cant make up there mind what I need to take.
