Health - 25 December 2006

I am in good shape.My doctors have told me that im in good health.I dont have really any issues with health.I was told that I had post tramatic stress.i didnt believe them at the time and the put me on meds .i worry about health to the point I cant really enjoy life.I am seeing a therapist too.I don't know why but I dred getting up everyday and facing the day and always scared that I will do something to have a heart attack or stoke or something else is going to happen.I used to think i was invincible and nothing bothered me.I had nerves of steel and took alot of chances.My doctors tell me to get out and live,but every little thing i do scares me into being careful and nervous.Im afraid to get my heart rate up and afraid that something will happen to me.I have lost weight to below where I should be because I didnt eat.Now Im worried about that.The therapist tells me the only person that can help me is me,but im afraid,what can I do to stop being afraid?Is it because im getting older?

I have infections around my neck or ears whenever I wear any metal other than gold. Irritation like itching and small red dots appear. After few days it will be back to normal. Is there any way to control this?

Thanks

When I had my knee Surgically repaired using my own patellar tendon from the same knee, it seemingly fixed the tendonitis problem in that knee... If I had had the tendon removed from the other knee, would I have had that problem fixed too? How much did your surgery cost and how are you doing now?

Im only 22 years old and Ive bowled since I was 9 or 10. I now bowl 30+ games a week just to stay in shape and practice for leagues/tourneys. My knees(both of them, but moreso the left one) and my ankles(also moreso the left one) have bothered me from time to time since I was about 18 but Ive never had the insurance or money to do anything about it. I took 9 months off at one time to try and let my joints heal but after coming back iit seemed like they progressed eventually back to what they were before I stopped. The ankle pain(left) starts when I wake up in the morning and I can barely walk on it until I stretch it and move it around for about 5 minutes. Otherwise, it will pop more than rice krispies. The knee pain(left also) cramps up when Im sitting in a tight seating area, and when I stretch it out I can hear maybe ligaments or something?. Ive tried stretching them constantly, and as I said staying off them. My right knee/ankle are minor time to time pains.

I stretched my ACL out 4 years and im just now going to the ortho cause I knew what ligament was injured and wanted to give it time, plus I was poor. I took yoga and northern shaolin kung fu to rehab it. It got stronger and works good, but still feels loose, and gives out during some running attacks. I went to the Ortho and he says Its amazing I can do all the advanced things I can do. Technically he says, I shouldnt be able to do 90 percent of what I can and it doesnt give mainly because of the other muscles being so intensely strong to compensate. Ive heard good stories, and horror stories about ACL ligaments, but the bad ones were operations of 15 years ago, military VA related, or alot worse injuries. Will it ever be as tight as before it was injured? The doc seems to think it will if I treat it right, rehab it like before, ill be good as new or better. Im 24, in great shape otherwise. Im worried it will be worse than now, or come undone when I do a snappy type kick after I rehab i

I'm in a pretty cruddy situation. Something got in my eye about 5 hours ago and it's still being a bother. I tried washing it out for an hour and a half and nothing. I've tried the eye bath and even eye drops but nothing really worked.

I can't even go to sleep because it hurts especially when I keep my (right) eye closed so this really sucks. Anyone have any suggestions?

I am being honest when I say I knew a friend who realy could not sweat. I was a runner and so was he and used to run X-country together. He used to pant like a dog and over heat after races. I have tried doing research on this but seems realy uncommon. Has anyone else ever heard of this 'disorder'?

I have a new laptop and when it starts to smell funny I am so afraid couse there might be some chemichals used in the manufacturing process. I know that the new things smell when you use them for the first couple of days but..I am also afraid to touch the plastic surface because there might be some toxins... I don't know.. I think I have something like a phobia. I realise that but then a though rushes through my head - "Well, it can be true. This thing can really contain something that can harm you". Sometimes I am afraid to eat some stuff.. again because of that chemicals. If something has a strange taste to me I just spit it out.. or throw up. This is not happening all the time but I can't live like a normal person. I know that chemicals are everywhere around us but I am so scared for my health. I am also scared from that lapop :). You'll say that I should consult a doctor or a psychiatrist but is there another way? I don't want to be afraid all the time from everything I touch/eat.

I'm 25, but kinda clueless about certain things in life. What do you call the manner of death when someone commits suicide by sitting in their car in the garage, while it runs? Is it an asphyxiation? As well, if a person should perish from this, what occurs (How does this happen)? I'm also wondering if there can be a result besides death, such as brain death. An MD's response is especially welcome.

On the back of a person's head there are what feels like a bony projection/lump on each side. A couple centimeters under that is a small 'lump' that can be felt on everyone, right at the hairline. Are these lymph nodes?

so here is the deal, I tend to get nervous over a ton of things.
I get nervous asking people questions, walking into stores, around crowds.
When I overcome my nervousness, I usualy end of shaking, breathing heavy, then I start figeting, or go into confusion, or I drift off into my own little world.
I get paranoid, everytime I hear laugher and i'm not looking that person in the face or telling a joke, I tend to feel its directed towards me, so I start to get nervous.
I know its not towards me, but at the time I feel that deep down. Its hard to explain.
I find it hard to concentrait in area ocupied by someone other than myself. For example If i'm reading, if someone is talking, making any noise, or even walking in my vicinity I tend to loose track.
I'll read but I won't comprehend what i'm reading I won't even remember it.
However I can concentrait by myself, save for thinking. I have a wondering mind.
I tend to get hyper active in undesired situations as well.
please help me.
