Health - 23 August 2006

I was diagnosed 7 years ago with bipolar disorder. I tried to work for a while. I was an LPN but I couldn't sleep and would go days and nights without sleeping, eventually ending up in a bad manic episode. I finally got on disability but now I feel so useless. This week I tried to go back to college and after 2 days suffered such horrific anxiety attatcks, I had to withdraw. My doctor gave me meds. but they make me feel so loopy and I can't drive when I'm taking them. I feel like my life is over. My 2 children are grown, I have 4 grandchildren, but can't spend a lot of time with them because of becoming too nervous. Is there any purpose or reason left for me in this life. It gets harder and harder to find a reason to live. I went job hunting a few weeks ago. But since I haven't worked in 8 years and I don't have that many skills anymore,I didn't get any calls.In LPN school I was best in my class. Won every award the school gave away. But look at me now. Just a shell of my former self

I have had problems on and off for the past few years. Lately, since June I've taken 3 different antibiotics for infection and low grade fever. I told the Dr when I went in July for checkup my symptoms, pain in right side under ribcage. nasuea, sometimes. She just passed it off as nothing. I've had the desida scan about 3-4 years ago it showed normal. I've had a fever for a month now, low-grade. Went back to Dr. on Friday, (saw PA). She ordered CT. Had it done yesterday (Tues). Called this morning said results would not be back until Friday, What's the deal with these lazy Dr's not wanting to care for sick patients. Don't they take an oath?

Both of my arms have multiple small bumps that are pink with a dry dead skin top. I am concerned. They have been on my arms for a few years and are not going away. Does any one know what it could be?

Any available Dermatologists?

I suffer from dissociation and depersonalisation, sometimes it lasts a few minutes, sometimes weeks at a time. It's like being totally disconnected from my body, like I'm behind myself, not 'in' myself. Also feel like nothing is real, like its all fake. I can be in a room with other people but feel like I'm not really there, I can't communicate with them and feel like I must be invisible to them, objects seem fake, I can't understand colours, shapes, textures, distance etc, and feel like my body doesn't really belong to me. Sometimes I can deal with it, other times it makes me feel really panicky. It's really hard to describe, but someone out there must know what I mean?

i think she might have breast cancer.
My friend says he felt lumps in her breasts, and he thinks they might be cancer... he's a dentist, which is closer to "doctor" than i am, so he knows best.
how can i bring up the idea of getting it checked? id hate for her to lose a breast, i dont know if i could look at her the same way.

I just noticed it a week ago. It's vertical and not completely lateral. I haven't done anything traumatic to cause it and since I've been fixating on it, I've been having nightmares about my teeth cracking and falling out. I have straight and heathly teeth (as far as I knew) so it's really freaking me out. I am going to see a dentist as soon as my insurance kicks in... how would a dentist fix it, and is my tooth going to fall out??

SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE!!
