Health - 1 November 2006

My sister is my moms in home health care provider and in the past few years my brothers and I believe that she has been taking advantage of my mom financially and emotionally. My mom no longer talks to any of us any more and we have no way to really check up on her. My daughter (then 17) visited out there this year for several months and says that my sister is always yelling bad things at my mom like "You would be happy if I just killed myself? I should just kill myself!" (My sister has slashed her wrists and done a couple of other things that could be perceived as suicide attempts in the past.) My daughter said that my sister very seldomly get s off of the computer and that when my mom says that she is hungry my sister does not cook for her. My Mom is on dialysis 3 days a week, is 64 years old, and has been in bad health for a while. My brothers and I do not know what to do and and suspect my sister of abuse, although not physical. What should we do?

A few days ago I found out that my sister who is 23 has officially been diagonsed with bipolar 2 dissorder. She's joked for a couple years about it but nothing really came from it. She finally had a break down last week and went to the ER for physical symptoms. From there she was admitted to a psych ward. We get to talk to her for a little while each day but I'm having trouble dealing with this. I'm 18 years old, and someone who worries constently so this really isn't helping. I have no idea how I can start dealing with this and what I can do to try and help. I should add that my sister is in California and we are on the other side of the country in Pennsylvania. Any advice you can give me I will be greatful for. Thanks.

and sometimes with shivering hands, unable to sleep and concentrate. Have been taking "cafergot", (hope the spelling is correct) at least for the past 15 years. Will there be any side effects? Is there any other medication, suppliment/diet or exercise that I can try?

There is a lump on my jaw, on the side, but sort of towards the front. It started out as just some soreness, but the lump has appeared throughout the day...it is soft, and is a little tender to the touch. It isn't in the right area to be lymphnodes...so what could it be??
