I deal with two diseases on a daily basis and have battled them since childhood. Myasthenia Gravis and Organic Brain Syndrome. During the day, nearly 100% of the time I feel relatively normal. After the sun begins its descent and the sky turns that beautiful redish,orangish,magenta type color, I begin feeling a change in my whole system. I become irritable, sometimes lackadaisical, and there are times I feel disoriented as if I don't have a clue what is going on around me. I have a cousin with this Myasthenia Gravis but have been told my maternal Grandfather suffered from this same nite time "curse" I like to call it. My family told me that Grandpa called it the Evening Shade or somethng like it. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? I have a wonderful family, very intelligent children that hate to see this happening to me but it seems to progress as I age and I am now only 42. The Doctors don't have a clue,all they want to do is keep me medicated. Help please. Thank you

I had a laparoscopy done last Novermber to diagnose and treat my endometriosis.

The inital effects were nausea after waking up from the general anaesthetic, and generally feeling a bit weak and woozy. I didn't have much "gas" pain or pain in my stitches - nothing that a couple of co-codamol didn't sort out anyway!

I have to say though it was probably a week or two before I really felt like myself again!

I'd be interested to hear others' stories of laparoscopy, good or bad, to see how mine compares. It seemed to be a good thing I did have the lap, because 4 months later I managed to get pregnant for the first time in my lifer after trying unsuccessfully for many years! I wonder if the lap had something to do with that?

Not obsessions as in, "That picture frame is not straight, I need to fix it." I'm not talking about obsessive-compulsive disorder. I have had a total of 8 obsessions, 3 major and obtrusive and the others small and fleeting. I become obsessed with something (people, bands, characters), and I think about it often and get very strong feelings when I do. Is there an illness that could cause these?

Is anyone interested in an online support group for fibromyalgia sufferers? I know that there are some out there already, but most seem to be either a place where someone selling a "cure" can hawk their wares, or a place where no one is ever allowed to complain about what they're going through and say "I need to vent to someone who understands what this is like."

I'm talking about a message board, basically, where we can talk about what things work for us to reduce the pain, and what things help us get through the day despite the pain. Where we can get sympathy when we need to share our personal evil-doctor stories (or evil-relative, or evil-boss, or whatever) and know that other people have had the same problems. Where we can talk about the latest health news that has bearing on our particular condition.

If there is already such an online support group, please let me know. Otherwise, I intend to start one. Let me know if you are interested.

I'm currently getting into my weight lifting, but I'm finding it hard to put on bulk due to my fast metabolism. I'm going to change my meal plan from 3 main meals a day to 6 or 7 smaller meals.
I was wondering if anyone does the same or if anyone can give me some tips or meal ideas?
Many thanks,

Is this some kind of condition? Usually around my family when they start making me nervous, pressuring, or gain up on me in words, i start, or want to cry. When im nervous or under pressure i want to cry. I try to hold it back, but then it just comes out. Why? And when other people are around and say something like

"Are you ok?"
"Why are you crying?"
"Ya big cry baby!"

-it gets even worse.

Please give me some advice or help me understand.

( i am only 14yrs old ) if that helps
