Health - 2 October 2006

My Grandma (80yrs) is in a nursing home.
I went to visit her recently.
She recognized me immeadiately and introduced me to her nurses ( been 1 yr since she's seen me ( I live a long ways off)).
During the visit she kept saying the same thing over and over, like as if she had been forgetting that she allready told me that.
She repeated the same 6 minute dialog about 20 times.
I'm afraid she may be loosing her mind.
I went to her house and it smells moldy, in fact, You can see moldy looking stuff growing out between the wall and ceiling in her bedroom and kitchen.
Is it possible that mold could cause this type of symptom/behavior, and Is there any effective treatment that might help get her back to normal? (grandma is strong for an 80 year old lady).

P.S. I also have a worthless uncle (alcoholic) who has been living in that same house with her since he was born, and he thinks that he changed his older siblings diapers.
Could mold be causing his mental problem?

i am struggling with social anxiety. tomorrow morning i'm going to start talking to my advisor (i'm a psych major) for counseling. my anxiety isn't so bad that i start sweating and getting rapid heartbeats in public, but like in the caf, i have a hard time speaking and joining conversations. i don't have friends here, as they all transferred. but anyways, is there anyone who has struggled with this but is not better with it? like i know there's hope, but i just wanted to hear other people's experiences. thanks!

Such as extra-sharp cheddar cheese melted over chips? Do you get headaches after the first day or so of smacking down piggish urges?

sometimes after ejaculating, my penis hurts for up to 20 minutes or so. it hasn't happened before for about two years, then it started happening for about a year afterwards.

it feels as if some sperm keeps getting stuck under my penis, and my best guess would be that a vein is blocking it, but I want to know how to get rid of it.

peeing it out doesn't work, it's really uncomfortable. i usually have to resort to pushing it back in, the same way you clench to stop peeing, but it hurts. anyone have this before?

i dont think anyone has ever asked this here..

I have a foster child who has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. I am interested to know if anyone has any experience with children or adults who maybe appear apspergers because of severe neglect and lacking social interaction for a number of years.

Am I just in denial that this child has autism or is there a chance that I'm right? Thanks for your responses.
