Health - 22 August 2006

my friend is annoying the hell out of me and i know it has to be some kind of medical condition. there's one called pseudobulbar affect which seems close. see if you can come up with any other suggestions.

1.will be rolling on the floor (literally, rolling on the floor) slapping his fist on the ground over a look that arthur gave doug on king of queens. not even something verbalized.
2.can't complete (usually can't even make it through the first 2 words) his own joke with out breaking out into a fit of hysterical laughter....and if i manage to make it through the broken up joke, it's usually stupid (like a porn joke that everyone's heard 100 times).
3.can't tell me something funny he's seen (like a sign that had funny words on it) with out breaking out into a fit of hysterical laughter.
4.can't stop hysterical laughter. even when told to be quiet.
5.makes overly comical gestures when something is said (tv or another person)

there's more, but i only have so many characters.

She was a fit beautiful woman before this now she cannot walk can hardly see and is a recluse, psychiatrist and GP says theres nothing wrong with her, There is obviously something wrong so who or what can she do now, any advice would be gratefully received.

I am currently going to a community college because i do want to finish school. By the end of this semester i will have my assosicates degree. Ive been really sad lately and its not helping that im living with 3 other people that are socialable. In july i broke up iwth my b/f which he goes to school here and im afraid of seeing him (he cheated on me) and we went out for a year and half. we have the same friends but im afraid to hang out with them. im trying to meet people but at the community college there is hardly any one my age in my classes. i feel like getting more depressed staying. my best friend is at home doing an internship. now im trying to find a good college to transfer to in the fall. but i feel like my life is getting worse than better and im all alone all the time. all i do is cry all the time

I've been working out and dieting for 7 months now. Im 5 ft. 7. 5in. and when i started i was 184 pounds i've gotten down to 158-160 but i can't seem to lose anymore i've been at this same weight for over 2 months now. I eat fairly well and exercise for an hour and a half about 3-5 days a week. I've also been regularly increasing the intensity of my workouts. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get to my goal weight of 135? I want to try and reach it by January 2007. Thanks

stand to reason some overweight people can eat little and still not lose weight? Some of this maybe due to medical reasons on both sides but I know someone who is overweight, they excersize 4x a week, eat healthy and less than their thinner friends and still don't lose weight....I am with this person almost 24/7 so I would know if they cheated.....

My left eye has been twitching for over a month now. I also get an intermittent stabbling pain in that eye that leaves me with a feeling of pressure behind the eye that stays for the rest of the day. I also had a bleed in this eye after a hard sneeze, which cleared up within a few days,but the symptoms I'm describing had been going on before this. I am planning on having it looked at, but would like to know if anyone has had these things and what it turned out to be after seeing their doc and/or if the symptoms just finally went away. SO, lite twitching, stabbing pains and pressure behind the eye. Any answers?
