Health - 2 October 2006

I'm having a little trouble with my blood pressure, it's a little high which is unsual. I asked the doctor friday to check to see if I had diabetes, after the appointment. I went to go pick up medication for something else, and while i was waiting. I went to play on those blood pressure machines in the store, and it said dyostolic was 128 on the yellow bar saying prehypertension. Then today monday morning I call on my answering machine from my doctor saying, it was a little high. I am 23 is this the wrong ago to have diabetes?

I have been going to doctor's for years about very severe pain I have and for years they have been treating me like I'm crazy. Recently someone suggested that I might have fibromyalgia. I looked up all the information I could find on it and am convinced that this is what is wrong with me. I went to a doctor and told her my opinion and she said oh, no...it's syatica (this is like the 10th DIFF diagnosis I have received from different doctors for the same pain). It is NOT syatica. I am at the end of my rope and don't know what to do to get the doctor's to listen to me but I'm sick of being treated as crazy and being dismissed...Any suggestions?

I have seen a counsler before and i am currently seeing another counsler and a psychiartrist. I am on anti depression pills, but they don't seem to help. I find i cant trust them and i hide who i am. In fact i hide it so well that i don't even know who i am. I read all the time, all kinds. I have been having this terrible dream about death and killing day and night. I was harassed for 10 years and find trusting people difficult. I want to open up but i find i can't. How can i get over this fear and is there something deeper here then just depression?

I love my husband, but like in every marriage, there are ups and downs. What concerns me is that sometimes, without any reason, I remember something that happened years ago and I get mad or sad. This week I remembered something that he did 6 years ago and now I am convinced that he was having an affair. I didn’t know back them, but it’s as if I opened my eyes now. Therefore, I sent him an e-mail (he is in another state) and told him that I cannot forgive him. The scene is there in my mind day and night. I feel like I hate him and told him that we must stop communicating. I am almost sure that in one more week I will see that scene as, “Come on. He was just giving her a ride.” But then in another week, I will want to ask him for a divorce. What is causing these cycles in my life? How is possible that some days the thoughts hurt me, but days later the same thoughts don’t affect me at all?

I don't think it's diarrhea. It just keeps on coming out. He goes to the bathroom and cleans himself and by the time he is done cleaning himself, it is already coming out again and soiled his pants. Has anyone had this problem or with their child...please help...what can I do?
What can I do to help him besides talking to his doctor because I have already done that. Are there any medications or foods he can take for it? Or ANYTHING else please! Thank You!

At the age of 13 I was fat and short, weighing 150 and only 5'4, I was fat. Then after about a year when I turned 14 I started to diet. I cut out all my snacks( Desserts/sweets...all junk foods.)All I ate was vegetables and meat. But I was eating small portions and stopped eating when I was about full. Then I tried eating 6-8 small meals, and I I lost 10 pounds. I also started weight training, and my mom was afraid that if I didn't eat enough I would not have good nutrients to my muscles and I could possibly stunt my growth. Well, I'm almost 15 and I'm definatley eating alot more of everything besides a lot of desserts. I eat alot of "real food". I'm really afraid that I stunted my growth by not eating enough. My mom is about 5'4 1/2 and my dad is 5/9. Right now I'm 14 1/2 and I'm 5'7 I don't want to stunt my growth. My goal is to be at least 5'10.

Thankyou for your time
