My boyfriend has been on this big health and fitness kick in the past few months and has been taking some vitamins, eating protein bars and taking the suppliment Creatine. He had a bad car accident last night and in the hospital had CT scans that said he may have had a small seizure. He has never had seizures in his life! I think this Creatine may be the cause of this and other side effects. Anyone know about seizures caused by Creatine? Or similar incidences?

I would go to the doctor, but I can't stop messing around on Yahoo Answers.

What should I do?

I'm a 15 year old female and I have been a compulsive overeater for at least a year and a half; I specifically remember when it began. I have done loads of research on this disorder and I am positive I have it--there's no question--and it is serious.

I am not obese and techniquelly not overweight (5'5-5'6, 132-138 lbs.) and I get an adequate amount of exercise but I have gained at least 10-15 lbs. this past year all from binging.

My life is controlled by food. I'm so unhealthy and I've never felt so awful in my life. My question is: I need help NOW--I can't keep trying to do it myself--but how do I go about treating it?

I'm HORRIFIED at the thought of having to tell my mother about my problem to get serious treatment...You have no idea, it's my ultimate nightmare. Does anyone have any suggestions for me, please??? I'm tired of being a slave to food when I should be enjoying life as a kid!!

I went to a doctor, and he gave me a shot in butt, and it cleared right up, but he had no idea what it was. Has any one else ever had this, it was not hives, or JUST pimples, it came in one day, and went when I got the shot. I can not find it on line ANYWHERE...

I went to the neurologist Yesterday afternoon, and I was put on the prescription pill Pamelor, and i have found out it is an anit depressant as well. The thing is, I do not want to be on an anti-depressant. Not because I am a Scientologist or anything. But that one of my very close friends committed suicide while on the SAME medication, claiming she felt nothing anymore.

I am more nervous of being numbed from everything. I appreciate feeling what i need to, and i do not want my migraines causing me to feel numb to emotions. I may sound a little odd. but sense my friend died I have felt very strong about my thoughts.

If anyone knows any other treatments, I will be thankful. i just feel having to take a pill for headaches but that is meant for depression just wont make me feel any better.

I'm a 19 year old male. I am 5 foot 9 inches tall and weigh about 150 pounds. I was a fairly late bloomer, so I am just starting to have to shave. I'm just wondering if I will grow any taller. When do you know you are at your maximum height?

i'm highly allergic to bug bites, but not bee stings. Duct tape adhesive, but not glue. Cheez-its and pringles, but not other snack foods. and also polyester. I'm also lactose intolerant, which i guess explains the allergy to cheez-its, but they make me throw up, not get gassy. Do any of these things have something in common with each other? and is there any one else who is even allergic to this stuff?

So I had my first trip to the gyno today, and it was HORRIBLE. I dont want to ever go to that lady again...I am overweight, and I think she talked to me more about that than anything else. But my question is: has anyone ever encountered a bad gyno like this, and had a horrible, embarrasing first trip, and had to switch?
