I had to move in with my parents and a sibling. I can't work because I am disabled with severe ocd. Currently have an SSI claim pending. However living with my parents is so stressful. I should count my blessings..... but with all the chaos that comes with living with my parents/sibling and being solely dependent on them..... the stress outways the benefits at times. No matter what I do they don't see that I am trying to help myself. Sometimes wonder if being homeless would be better than my current situation.

I never ever had menstrual cramps--ever--the worst I ever had was labor pains *L*. Now that my menses have returned I cramp badly enough that sometimes I fall to my knees in agony. Any good relieving remedies?

Just because you feel good one day and down the next doesn't mean you are bipolar. I have my mood swings and have been on meds for years for depression. I started seeing a doctor that thought I was bipolar and started me on a year long, every month change in meds to see if we could get it right. Nothing helped as much as just getting back on depression meds and doing a lot of thinking and self examination. No, I am not better, but I am working on.
Please don't think that just because you are happy one day and down the next you are bipolar...the disease is so much more then that. I have done my homework on it...believe me.

The next big thing for me is to find a therepist who works after 5 pm and getting in to talk to them as much as possible. I have so much from my childhood and adulthood to work through and it all just makes the depression worse.

Please think about what I have said before you "want" to say you are bipolar.

I've heard a few vague things about laughter therapy--the idea that laughing has the ability to help heal physical as well as emotional ailments--and am interested in finding out more. Everything I've found on the net has been a little vague. I'm interest to know if anyone has tried this or has information about studies on it. Also, I've heard that some physician has compiled some kind of a "laughter medicine database"--funny clips, cartoons, movies. etc. Anyone heard of it?

Two years ago I had spinal fusion surgery to treat my Kyphosis. They fused four vertebra and put two metal rods (about twelve inches long) on either side of my spine.

One of those rods has suddenly (and visibly) moved in my back. I don't know whether the rod broke, or a piece of my spine broke where it was connected, or it just came loose.

I am in pain when I stand, walk, or sit in most positions. The pain starts where the top of the rod is and goes down one of my shoulders. Lately it has also began to tingle.

All of this started last Monday and on Tuesday I went to my primary care doctor to get a referal to the orthopedic doctor. The orthopedic doctor is making me wait until this wednesday (more than a week) to see him.

I think I need surgery, am I right?
Is there anyway to fix this without surgery?
Is it possible for the doctor to take out the top part of the rods only?
Is the Doctor right to make me wait a week to see him?
