Health - 16 August 2006

Ok, I am a 20 yrs. old, I have had diabetes for 6 yrs. now and have not been able to control it ever since I was diagnosed. Only when I am in the hospital am I able to control my blood sugar levels. I am type II but insulin dependant due to the fact it is uncontrolled. I live in FL where Medicaid (I have low income and qualify) was denied to me twice because they say I must be under 18, over 65 or pregnant. I am way too young to die and I cannot hold a job when I am always dizzy and fainting due to my illness as much as I have tried, I don't want to seem irresponsible. Is there any loophole as to a person like me getting medicaid in FL? I really am fearing for my life. I just need a temporary boost from the government... If they could only give it to me atleast til my sugar is controlled and I can take it from there and get a job and get my own medications that would be great. I take glucophage, insulin (R and NPH), lisinopril (for HBP and for my Kidneys havent taken any meds in 1 yr.)

I've had an MRI which says my back(lumbar spine) is OK.. also an ultra sound of my complete abdomen which also finds everything OK. Since the last one year i've lost about 15kilos. This was acheived by regular jogging/running on a tread mill ..approximately 10kms five to six days a week. Could it also be possible that i have some sort of digestive disorder???

is there anything wrong with me if i get random bad feelings??? i'll be sitting down thinking about something, and suddenly i get this like..sick-in the pit-of-my-stomach feeling for no reason. one minute im fine, and the next i feel like something's really, really wrong. after that, it's really hard for me to concentrate on anything else. it's hard to explain but its like everything feels SURREAL. i get these feelings occasionally..and they go away eventually, but im worried that its something serious...like an early symptom of depression or something. help please...and NO STUPID ANSWERS you are just wasting your time and mine

Table salt contains iodine but I don't use it. Now I have a goiter (which can be caused by lack of iodine), Just a coincidence?

I worry all the time about little things. I get really panicky when I think about these little things and sometimes I can't sleep. I also worry a lot about my health- even though I am really healthy. I take paxil and xanax as needed. I also go through episodes of depression. Is this normal? I don't want any more meds.

I gained weight during my college years, and then went on a yo yo dieting spree for many years (from 19 to 26). Sometimes I'd be thin, other times I'd be anywhere from 20 to 60 lbs overweight. Something clicked last year and I've FINALLY been able to maintain my weight loss.

I've been at a reasonable weight for almost a year now. The only problem is, the people who I thought cared about me seem to have turned on me. My mom flat out told me that she doesn't like skinny people (I'm nowhere near skinny by the way). Other relatives joke about me looking like a crackhead (I am 130 lbs, 5'2, so thats BS). Friends of mine who started the diet with me but didn't quite make it are avoiding me. On top of all that, I had to let go of a romantic interest I had held onto for SO long.

It's a hurtful situation but I wouldn't trade this feeling for anything in the world. At the same time, I stll have 10 more lbs to go and all this negativity coming from others has made me lose a lot of motivaton.
