My son who is almost 13 was diagnose with dyspraxia at age 3 and ADHD at age 7. He has always had verbal outburtst often using inaporiate langue/swearing.

We have always tried to ingore these outbust in the hope that if we didnt respond he would stop but he hasnt, and when i asked him if he realised what he was sayin he said "that it just comes out" I honestly think at times he has no idea of what he is saying.

I have never heard of Verbal outburst being link to ADHD or Dyspraxia which makes me think he may have Tourettes Syndrome??

He take a slow relase form of ritalin and is regular monitored by a specialist nurse.

I am getting increasing concerned that as he gets older his "runnay mouth" is gonna get him into trouble.

Advice plz

I have never had a weight problem and do moderate exercise regularly. But in the last few years, it has been getting more difficult to keep the weight off. I have gained 10lbs. over the past 3 years and can not seem to get the weight off and keep it off. (I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 129).

For you ladies over 40, is this normal? Will I be able to get the weight off and keep it off? I know I have to do it naturally--proper diet and exercise--but do i have to exercise harder than ever now that I am older? I just don't want to see the pounds creeping up year after year.

Any advice or encouragement from you ladies who have been there, done that? Thanks in advance.

July 3rd 06 I wrecked a four wheeler and it landed on my right leg. My leg still has scars and the part where it hit is almost hard compared to the rest of my leg. My ankle is still bruised and when I walk for a while my ankle and foot swell and the pain in that leg is almost unbearable. I've been trying to get into shape so I'm walking 3 miles on my treadmill everyday. Yesterday I didn't have any problem with my leg, but today I did a mile and I had to stop. Now my foot and ankle are swollen. It's like an extremely painful cramp in the front of my leg. It's not a potassium type cramp. I take multivitamins and I've eaten today. This happend 5 months ago. Why am is it still giving me trouble? I went to the hospital after it happened and there was no blood clots or anything. Just bruising of the bone and tissue, but shouldn't that be okay by now? I'd really like to continue walking 3 miles on my treadmill. I feel good doing it. Is there any thing I could do so it isn't so painful?

another posters question actually got me to asking this.

I'm 16 yr. old male and I'm 5'4. My current weight is 145lbs. I want to bring my weight down to 130lbs.

I run for 16 min. on the treadmill everyday at 7.7
I use an eliptical (sorry if I spelled it wrong! lol) for 20-30 min. almost everyday at a rate of 14-16 calories per minute.
I do alot of ab exercises
When I get the chance I do other exercises like bicep curls, different pull downs, and chest press and other machines to turn man titties (haha) into pecks.
I finish off with pilates and then stretch
I dont do weights as much though because I'm usually concentrated on cardio

My diet is good. I dont drink or eat anything bad. If I have any "sweets" I get whatever is no sugar, low sugar, no cal., no fat, low fat, or made with Splenda
SO, thats basically I wanna finally get myself down from 145lbs to 130lbs by Christmas. Yeah, that's alot of work for me to do!
SO, can anyone give me anymore sugesstions for what to do? thanks!

Hi,

I was having intercourse and when we parted the only thing left was the base of the condom. I was embarrassed and didnt want to say anything so I kind of just went home. I was wondering if I should call her and tell her to look for the other half because I was wondering if it would cause a problem with her vagina.

I am in the process of getting venners on my top teeth. The dentist said he would have to take a THIN layer off of my real teeth to put the venners on. In the middle of the grinding, I went to the restroom and looked in the mirror and my real teeth looked like the guy from the Goonies. They came to a point and there were large gaps between them. My teeth were pretty regular before. Is this normal?

Can anyone seriously help me? It's with me through school and work, day and night, morning to morning, pain scale 8 on a good day, crying myself to sleep on others. I seriously could use any good advise. And please don't just tell me to see another doctor or something, I've been through 6, with no luck. Neurologists, Osteopaths, Pediatricians when I was young, nothing.

I'm doing a partial fast. It consists of a light breakfast and nothing eaten the rest of the day, only juices and water. I usually do weightlifting. Should I lay off until the fast is over?

i went to a website a while ago to look up the symptoms of a.d.d. and i realized that i have most of them. i KNOW something is wrong with me, b/c for years i have found it hard to focus and what people are saying sometimes, such as if someone is talking for a while, i tend to zone out and i can't help it. no one believes me when i tell them that i have a.d.d. esp. because i've never been diagnosed with it. can someone help me (maybe someone who specializes in disorders) please?? does it sound like it have it??
