OK, I've had the IUD for eight months and have been on Paxil for about three months. I'm having some of the following CRAZY side effects, wondering if I was the only one:

- Loss of Appetite : Feel hungry, yet no food sounds good and have to force myself to eat. I stared at an ice cream sandwhich the other night wanting to eat it, but couldn't!

- Crazy Dreams: I've always had really realistic dreams but lately it seems to be exacerbated by the medication... I keep dreaming about the end of the world!!! Maybe I should just stop watching the History Channel at night...

- Extreme "willingness" for ummm... nocturnal activities??? -- Alright, I'll say it, I'm horny ALL THE TIME! I try not to be... try not to think about it... but my hormones seem to be ALL crazy...

Anyone else??? Thanks for your input!!!

I never feel like a real person, until I am by myself.

I've always been able to eat milk until the last three months or so. And now, if I eat very much dairy, I get very bloated feeling- among other things.
If it is lactose intolerance what is the best way to help with it?

I was prescribed Singulair for my allergies and it didn't help my asthma. My doctor then prescribe Advair. I haven't had to use my inhaler since. But I've recently read some very bad things about Advair. Should I be concerned?

I was prescribed 250/50 and take it once a day. I found out the pharmacist screwed up and it was suppose to be taken twice a day. Since it has helped so much, I was told just to continue the once a day. Isn't it to be taken twice a day because it only lasts 12 hours? And shouldn't they have started me out with the smaller dosage (100/50) first? Maybe I would only need the 100/50? Sometimes I wonder about doctors and what they prescribe. I'm not sure they always go about it in the proper manner.

here are the straight facts: ht. 5'1", weight 99 lbs., age 26, female, take vitamins daily, work out about 5 times a week, eat about 800-1,000 calories per day, drink about 400-500 calories per day in alcohol.

strange, i know. basically, i cut out a few hundred cals of food and replace it with alcohol.

i might add that i am a vegetarian whose diet largely consists of mass amounts of veggies, potatoes, beans, rice, etc. (i eat only extremely healthy foods and plenty of water) so i consider the alcohol my "non-healthy calories" for the day.

i know this is somewhat 'twisted', but is it truly that unhealthy? (especially compared to the fast-food indulgent americans these days.)

oh and i smoke 3-5 cigarettes per day. i am not so much concerned with my lungs or liver, but with my absorbtion of nutrients, etc. thank you for your help!

I am currently studying abroad in Germany and I am bit apprehensive in finding a German doctor (My German is not the best in medical vocab!) for finding out why I have been feeling like this. About two weeks ago, I began to experience nausea and extreme fatigue. I also had a cough. However, now I only the feelings of being nauseated. I did vomit once from eating spicy foods, but that was all. I have adjusted to living in a new country so I am not anxious or stressed. I did had unprotected sex last month, but I'm know for a fact that I am not pregnant. I have tried some remedies to help my nausea such as drinking tea, but it always comes back everyday. So any suggestions on what could be the cause of my nausea or have more remedies to help alleviate my symptoms? Thanks!

I've been without services for almost 7years now, due to lack of funds, but I know that it is time for a regular check-up. Where can I find help? Also, I have looked for reasonably priced service providers but I couldn't afford it. Now, I am simply asking for help concerning my health and my well-being as a young minority woman.

I am currently seeing a psychiatrist, which I have not ever done before. It’s quite a costly and lengthy course of treatment.

I just want to know if I should presume that all psychiatrists are good and will know how to help. Or is it a matter of luck that you find one that will really be able to understand you- is it dependant on the relationship you have with your therapist, or is it merely science and therefore does not really matter on the individual doctor.

Is this what's causing a tingling sensation in that area or something else? Will the problem be solved if I use a callus removal treatment?

Hey Everyone!
I'm really worried about my father lately. I'm 21 (moving out next month, so still living at home) so I'm old enough to understand that he's been drinking aot more this past year. Every night he'll finish off 2 bottles of wine then move onto a mickey of either rum or sambuca.
He does this everynight and falls asleep infront of the tv.
I'm really worried ahout him! Anything I can/should do? My mother thinks its "not a problems and none of my business" but I just hate seeing someone crashing and burning so fast!!!

Help!

I am 25 years old and have been on birth control since I was 17. I have never taken any breaks or time off from the pill. I was wondering if and when I do decide to have a baby...will it take me a long time to conceive. Most of my people say being on the pill for a long time could keep you from getting pregnant when you’re ready to conceive. Help?

I Have MMD and was medically dismissed from the Army with no benefits(even thought i had no symptoms before i joined). I was wondering if anyone else here has MMD or anything kinda like it. I work at the VA hospital now, and at the end of the day I am wiped out. I am starting to have severe problems with my hands and feet, and i'm wondering what is going to happen to me. I know i can read about it on the internet, but i was hoping to get some responses from people who also have it. I'm currently 26, but i feel like i'm 50. Is there anything i can do to stop my deterioration, or anything to at least make me feel better?
