Health - 18 December 2006

My girlfriend is about to move in with me but she has major panic/anxiety attacks almost every night. They really scare me even though I've had them myself in the past and know it's temporary and I just need to get her mind off it. Still....I am afraid I won't be able to help her and it will cause problems. Our relationship is great, and I really want to make this work.

Anyone ever been in a similar situation and has any good advice??

Thanks!

I can sometimes be on the net for three or four hours a night and this can sometimes delay my sleep or put me off doing other tasks. Is this wrong and if so how do I go about changing?

Pain has been present for the past two years but has only become really persistent for the past two months or so. When I say persistent I mean 24/7.

Pain is present in back. It’s a dull, achy, shooting pain from just above my buttocks to under my left shoulder. Eventually the pain settles mid-back… in line with my navel but never passing the spine so that it spills over into the right side. At times there is a persistent itch, which seems as if it is coming from “under the skin.” Abdominal pain is present on the left upper quadrant, under the left rib cage. There is a dull, throbbing pain. When I press into the area, I feel discomfort but not as much pain as I would before pressing. I feel pain however upon sneezing, coughing or if I bear down as if about to have a bowel motion or pass a gas.. Speaking of that, gases have become difficult to pass at times and my bowel motions have become thinner than usually. Not pencil thin, but maybe only an inch and a half.

I am trying to lose weight. I have planned my diet and have purchased exercise videos. I am planning on exercising an hour and a half a day, 6 days a week. I don't want to over do it, however I would like to acheive my weight loss goal. Is this too much exercise, or too little? I am a fairly active person, I just want to shed some unwanted weight from a pregnancy.

What has helped you the most with your recovery? I have been trying to get this treated for over a year but I always relapse. How did you stick with your treatment, short of being hospitalized? How do you handle relapses?

I heard that taking birth control pills can help control acne. Is this true? Has anyone experienced this benefit while on the pill?

I want a more complex answer than "they are not used to it." As in, vegetarians usually get all the protein that meat-eaters get, so why the throw-up?

I used a face wash, and a triple action astringent by biore. My face has been getting dry as winter is coming. Should I put on the moisturizer after the astrigent? Also, what is the best moisturizer for acne prone skin? Thank you.

I have recently started taking it. My husband and I desperately want to have children and if I became pregnant I would stop the medication until after the baby is born.
The contraindication leaflet says it does not know whether lamictal harms the baby. I wondered if any one knew.
