I am in my senior year of nursing school in clinical. I was in ICU and a code was called on a woman who had gone into A fib and after a bunch of failed epi and chest compressions, I tried some chest compressions and brought her back to normal sinus, now she is in ICU with a bunny rabbit facial twitch and one pupil is 2 and sluggish, the other is NR. Anyone seen this before or know anything about it? I struggle with the fact that I brought her back and now she is on the vent and having neuro symptoms. This was my first code.

My mother smokes at least 2 cartons of ciggs a day, she is also verbally abusive towards me, making it extremely difficult for me to talk to her, it also crosses out the whole "I want you to be there when I graduate" thing out the window, or any other "I love you and want you to be there" things b/c she hates me and would never do anything for me anyways.

I have tried talking to her but it either ends up w/ my crying b/c she called me a worthless b*tch, or she slapped me, and then she sits at the computer smoking again.

I have been having trouble breating, and whenever I have a problem with breathing (Coughing, choking, gagging), around her, she yells at me.

How can I get her to quit?

I have tried stealing her ciggs, telling her about how I feel, I have tried nearly EVERYTHING!!

My mom is plain mean, and something that invloves sympathy would never work. How can I make her quit!?

I have found a great deal of info on the web about the dangers of aspartame, which contains 50% phenylalanine. But what about all the products that are just using phenylalanine as a substitute for sugar? What are the dangers of phenylalanine, on its own, not as a part of aspartame? Should we cut it out of our diets completely?

I always thought it was the first day you had a steady flow, like actually the red blood, but then my midwife told me to count the first day I start to spot. Which is it?

I read an article AND many people have told me that cutting out soda from your diet can make you loose weight. I have substituted soda with water, and I haven't lost a single pound! It's been 3 weeks.
What am I doing wrong?

I have a nice pair of 15-pounders, but I dont really know what to do with them beyond the basic curls. Any suggestions on different stuff to do?

It doesnt really matter what muscle it improves, as I have almost no muscles anywhere right now. The more visible the results, the better, I guess. And yes, I am willing to put in the work, I just don't know what to do.

I just want to know if anyone can give me some ideas as to how they started their life over. I am 22 and I had a very devastating problem called bulimia for 5 years. I dropped out of two universities, got pregnant twice, went to jail, failed two treatment programs, almost died of alcohol poisioning, put my family through hell and wasted great amounts of money. All of those things were totally out of character. In high school I was such a conscientous perfectionist. Now I'm back in school and feel lost, scared, lonely, and discouraged because I know that I have to change everything about myself and learn to think in a whole different way about life and about who I am. I now feel that I finally have the strength to change but I am very overwhelmed and I worry a lot and feel guilty. I see a counselor, take an anxiety pill and they are helping but any ideas as to what other things I can do to stay on path to recovery?

So many questions and I have to ask them all at once because they belong together. I am currently taking the above dosage. I am being treated for 'Treatment Resistant Depression'. Most meds haven't worked or have worked the opposite on me so they have me on Lithium. I also have Fibromyalgia. The Doctor wants me to stay on the Lithium because nothing else has worked but this is a "mood stabilizer" and my moods are going crazy. I cry for no reason, become totally unreasonable (both very suddenly no matter what I'm doing) and I feel terrible on it. I have also developed a rash that they cannot identify or treat.

1. How do I take myself safely off Lithium?
2. Does this sound like its working?
3. Has anyone else had this problem?
4. If so, how did you handle it?
5. Are there any new treatments out there?

My mom constantly smokes cigs, and I never go outside, I'm always in the house. I have (Lately) been coughing like crazy to the point where I have even passed out, but when I tell my mom about it she calls me a wimp and tells me to shut up and stop whining about her smoking, but I really can't breathe!!

Could this be asthma?? I keep getting these breathing problems and I can't talk to my mom about it b/c she's a total b*tch that won't listen, could this be asthma???
