Health - 9 October 2006

I'm currently eighteen and I feel like if I continue losing hair at a constant rate, I'll be bald by my twentieth birthday. It perplexes me. I used to have the thickest head of hair I had ever seen, and now I have average to thin hair. I've talked to a number of girls who have told me the same thing happened to them when they went through puberty.
What are, if any, the chemicals/horomones responsible for this madness?

2nd grade, in new school, can't stop talking, can't do work, falls off chairs, keeps getting in trouble, has to be the loudest kid, makes goofy noises, hyper, won't listen, dad not around, can't keep hands to himself, goes to principals office, they want to have a meeting, since kindergarten been to 3 psy. docs & starting new pediatrician. School calls me everyother day, been on Adderall, Straterra, Concerta & Ridalin, all made him hyper or mean, speeding out, fast heart beat - was in hospital. At my wits end! Don't want to medicate him. Exhausted! He can be very smart & very sweet. But gets mean, mad, can't get along w/ other kids in school. Doesn't hear me to get dressed, doesn't look out in parking lots. In overdrive & charged as teacher would say. What can we put him on to slow him down? Tired of doctors & therapists. Nothing working! School iced head today cuz he fell off chair. Been like this since kindergarten. Birth was ok, diagnosed w/ developmental delay at 1 yr.

4 weeks ago I started walking 2 miles/day and eating a heart healthy diet. My blood pressure has fallen from 150/100 to 128/80 in that time. I plan to continue. What other things can I do to keep my blood pressure under control.

Serious question--

Recently I have had a lot of milky white discharge. It's so much that I can feel it come out...like when you're on your period and you feel the blood gushing out....and it dries on my panties and it's a lot, or at least a lot more than I have ever known. I don't itch or burn or anything like that. What does this mean?

When I got married my husband was on Lexapro. He told me that when he was going through his divorce that he was really depressed and that is why he was taking it. He also said that he would get angry really easy at the kids, not physically abusive just very quick temper. Well, the Lexapro makes him bruise very easily. If you look at his body, he looks as if he was in a major fist fight or car accident. This is all the time.

He has started cutting back his dosage. This is the correct way to wean off an anti depressant. But since then I have noticed a definite change in personality. Very quick temper. Like I said, not abusive but just fly off the handle and then realize that he was doing it and chill out. My issue is this is not the person I married. Slamming doors over silly things, yelling at the kids for little stuff, etc.

I talked with him about it and he is open and worried about it too. I do not want him on drugs that hurt his body but what should we do?

Ok, so my son is 11 and he has several new teeth coming in but will not let me pull his teeth out (that are just setting on top of his new teeth) what should I do? Is it important that he gets those teeth out or is it ok that I just wait and let them fall out. Please give your advise??
