Health - 20 December 2006

I was sick for the past three months and didn't even know. I lost 20 pounds and I can't fit anything in my closet. I'm not depressed or anything. I just feel down on some days, because I can't wear the clothing that I want to wear. I went from a size 11 to a size 6. Can anyone seriously answer my question? (And don't say ask my doctor, because I already did and he didn't have anything to tell me)

Someone passes gas all the time. What's a good remedy or solution to that?
I'm not asking for medicine, though. Something you can get at home?!

that you make up for yourself to follow? We all do it and some don't even make sense. I just want to see if anyone else shares my strange rules I put on myself about food.

Someday I can only eat 5 things a day. If I get a treat from the break room, then I must break it in half and only eat the half. I have some more, but I want to know what yours are! :)

*this isn't anything related to an eating disorder, so please don't mention it.

I often am sad or happy and then my mood chages arubtly. The change may last from a few seconds to many days. Am I Bi-polar?

Many times I have talked to myself in my head and other voices answer me or join in the conversation. Do I have muptile personlaties?

I am severly depressed, (though it's getting better), and I cut, give myself eraser burns, and want to die. I have tried to die trhee times and I am afraied that I will try again. I am scared of myself at times. Am I crazy?

I live in Mumbai and have to pass though one of the most polluted parts on way to work. I travel by train and bus, and sometimes by auto. Despite covering mouth and nose with a hanky, the pollutants creep in, and gives me a headache, sore throat and a choked feeling. Is there any yoga or any technique to rid the lungs of accumulated dirt, smoke, fumes?

I've also had severe cramps on 2 occasions. They were very painful, almost like labor pains! I was wondering if this was also normal?

A friend of mine was diagnoed with Lyme Disease in November after his vision began deteriorating, memory loss, fatigue, mood swings, and other symmtoms similar to those associated with Lyme Disease began to worsen. After several weeks of treatment for Lyme Disease the Doctors have noticed little or no improvement and have ordered him to discontinue treatment as they do not know what illness he has.

What should he do?
What other diseases/ illnesses might it be?

Thanks

I got my left ear repierced in a different location 3 weeks ago but it still hurts when I move it from side to side. I don't have an infection because it is not red. I have also been cleaning it with an anti-septic. There was a little blood this morning near the back of my lobe when I went to clean it. How long will this take to heal?

At 1 am I awoke due to neuropathy pain in my feet which was extreme, and USUALLY indicates to me that my blood sugar is elevated, which it could have been since I had been to a holiday party last evening. Yet when I tested, my reading was 102. To make sure, I tested again and got 105. This am, at 630am, I did another test (no food) and it was 130. I took my usual insulin dose and came into work. My feet started tingling again, so I tested again.(750 am)..still with no food, because I usually eat around 830am...and it was 156!! Why would this be happening?

My primary care found a suspsicous nodule on my thyroid. I am 36 years old. He referred me to a local endicrinoligist who is right out of school. She wants me to have a FNA Biopsy. However, the facility is a local facility. I want to go into Boston, to the major teaching hospital. I called and got an appointment but it is not for another month and a half. Is it okay to wait that long? The endocrinoligist said it was okay to wait since Thyroid Cancer is slow growing. Is she right? I am so scared....
