Health - 2 January 2007

My boyfriend came over on New Years Eve and left around 1:00 AM. The next morning around 11:00 he started throwing up, and told me he caught the stomach flu. We were kissing the night before. Does this mean I'm going to get it as well?

Over the past few years I've become growingly self-conscious about my weight and what I eat. I guess dieting and family issues have caused me to fall in this awful cycle of binging and then feeling ashamed and guilty afterwards. I'm too embarassed to tell my family and friends because I think that this could be perceived as attention seeking... I don't want anyone I know to know about this which is why I made this account. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have not had any sleep for about 4 days, maybe and hour every night (broken sleep). I just lay in bed and the next thing I know 7 hours have gone by. Here are the pills I have tried over the past year or so:

Tynelol PM, all the other PM's : Does nothing
Simply Sleep: Nothing
Tradzone: My Doc gave me this, worked for a week last year but it gives me a rapid heartbeat and now it doesn't even help me sleep.
Sleep MD: Gimmic, does nothing
Melatonin: Nothing

My doctor is a moron he recommended Benadryl next, am I 5 years old. I don't think he understands how serious this is, I am beginning to blow up at people at work and am very irritable. I can't drink a warm glass of milk because I am lactose intolerant. I don't even drink coffee anymore or soda.

Any suggestions, please I am open to try anything at this point.

It's more like a stool that swivels so you can work your lower body. I've searched for it online, but just can't seem to find it.

I already have anxiety so I'm pretty used to it (I couldn't imagine what a person who never had anxiety would do being on this med). Anyway, it's nothing major but I'm a little more jumpy and obsessing a little more over stuff. Is there anything I can do to calm the nerves (besides exercise because I'm already doing that). I've changed my diet to a healthy one too.......Any ideas???

In an ultrasound today the doctor said it looked like my left kidney was actually two kidneys. He said it was not an issue but i am still curious about it. Does anyone know about this? I did a google search but did not get good results. If anyone knows about this, how it happens, if it could be a problem in the future, let me know

I have several cuts in my tongue, about 2 inches long. They have been there for as long as I can remember. I also have several indentation type things on my tongue. I have showed my doctor and dentist, and they haven't seemed concerned about it, but I was curious what it is, and does anyone else have this?

I know one other person with it, but don't really talk to them enough to feel comfortable confronting them and asking to see their tongue.

If you need more details let me know, and I will try to explain it better.

i have had my ears pierced for years, so am not worried about them closing. i read somewhere to dissinfect teh earring and put it back in, but i was not sure if that was only to keep a new piercing from closing. Also, the ear does not hurt but when i took my earing out there was pus on the post and if was slightly red. Should i wear 14k gold earings or leave them out until it heals?

Whenever I visited a hospital up to the early nineties you could smell the reassuring disinfectant smell. It used to cling to your clothes.

It's only day 6 and I was really depressed today. I'm getting my period tomorrow and I am wondering if that has something to do with it. Anyway, is it pretty standard to have highs and lows while first starting on antidepressants? (I'm not suicidal)
