OKay . . .I just went up to 50mg of zoloft today. I feel tired, weak, and a little anxious and really shaky. Is this normal? When will the side effects go away and the drug start really working?

My husband's mother lives with us. She has for two years. She is a sweet lady, but she refuses to take a bath. My son and I throw up all the time from the smell she leaves behind when she sits and she won't even wash her clothes. Or let us wash them. She can't tell reality from her online gaming life. My own husband thinks she needs help because he has only a brother and sister (his birth cert. says so) he has met them yet she says she has had 8-12 children. (she never can make up her mind.) We even had a key logger put on the computer and caught her writing to a friend that she was going to hurt us all. She won't get any form of ID and I can not afford to have her see a doctor. She has insurance and can go anytime she wants but she won't. My husband wants her gone from here because we are afraid, but says he can't throw her out on the street. Is there anyway to help her because I have a 4 year old and am very much afraid of what is going to happen.

For the past 5 days, EVERY TIME we eat, he gets food caught in his throat and has to... basically clear his throat. He doesn't do it when he drinks and he says it doesn't hurt. I thought at first maybe he just picked up a bad habbit but it really doesn't seem like it now. He also hasn't had a BM in at least 4 days. He's normally pretty regular.
I took him to see his doctor and he said that he didn't see or feel anything unusual but if the problem continues then I need to bring him back monday and they are going to set up running some tests.

My boyfriend was diagnosed with tachycardia when he was younger and went through 2 heart surgeries. The doctors told himi he only had until he was 32. I was wondering if that was still true since he's had the surgeries. He's in his 20s now and refuses to see the doctor. He had a hard time dealing with the short life issue and is afraid that it might be worse or the same. He can't handle hearing it again. We plan to get married, and I fear for him. I want him to get checked out, but I can't convince him. Can anyone please tell me what the average life expectancy is for tachycardia, so I could maybe put both of our minds to rest?

I have 3 kids, and that's it. I know vasectomy is permanent, and I know of some cases of side effects. Doctors say sometimes vasectomy can cause permanent pains in testicles. Could you share any experiences?

I plan on going to a state rep about this and I am wondering how many of you have been through a traumatic experience whether you or a loved one. Mistake of Emergency room doctor could have cost a life or did. Please only serious responses. Our story is located at

It is about my four year old son. I also plan on suing the hospital anybody had to do this? Any suggestions? I just want our story out and where we live it seems nobody wants to fight the hospital because they are "big time" here. Doctors should not be allowed to treat people the way my son was treated and I had the meeting with CEO, contacted joint commissions, still getting paperwork together for the medical board. Only option left is the lawsuit so the hospital will know I am serious. Anyone with any help I would appreciate it. Thanks Also feel free to leave comments on my space page. I always approve them before allowing them to be added.
