Health - 17 February 2007

I used to be very smart and have an IQ of 147. I never struggled with anything and got straight A's in school. However, I was crying all the time, isolating myself, and even hurt myself sometimes. I went on medication and was much better and am still on it today. The problem is, is I am doing terribly in subjects that I used to excel in. My memory is terrible and I can't remember math equations for more than a few minutes. I just failed a calculus test even though I studied for hours before my test because I forgot what I was doing! I have decided to quit my medication but I am scared for two things:

1) I won't end up being smart again
2) I will revert to my old depression and end up hurting myself

What do I do? I really want to succeed and no studying helps. I've even been said I was "disabled" and have a "learning disabiltily" which I don't! Serious answers only and I promise 10 points for best answer.

in your opinion waht size would you consider as plus size. people are really getting obsessed with those words. Some say 12 and others say 10 but its really confusing to know what plus soze is exactly.

My body has changed so much during menapause, that anything I try does not work!! I'm not one of those that think a "pill" will take it away, I am very health consience. I have read many articles about various diet aids that may or may not help. Such as...Zantrex 3, Estrin D, and Relacore and now even "combo Pilling... has anyone had any luck with these products?? I was stuck several months ago, and tried something different that worked for awhile, but now that doesn't even work!! No, I am not one of those woman that are ...obsessed with weight losss or think I need to be a size 2...I'm 5'1 and weigh 139lbs. Normally i wear a size 8 maybe 6. I am now into a tight 10!! I just want to fit into my clothes and be comfortable and healthy. Any suggestions?

I'm sick of people saying it's not a disease. It's as much as of a disease as cancer is. This whole conflict started when I was on a website. The girl was saying that she hates alcholics. I got very offened because my step dad was an alcholic, I left comments in her comment box complaining about it.

So tell me.. Alcholism IS a disease, right?

We have had a T4/TSH to see is there are throid problems. We also had a CBC performed. Both were within normal range. His has been on Otomax, Animax and Baytril. We started with outer ear infections. They go away then come back in a couple months. When the myringotomy was performed and the fluid was analyzed it was a milky fluid with debri in it. They thought it would be a bacterial infection, but is wasn't. We have had several ear swab cytology done. Now we have progressed to the inner ear. If the first myringotomy didn't work why will the second one? We are wondering is he is being treating for the symptom or the problem. Don't we need to find out why he is having ear infections. Last summer we also struggled with hot spots. We are wondering if this could all be allergy related. We have changed his food to natural choice for sensitive stomachs. We also use Benadryl for the hot spots and have not had any more problems with that. To date we have spent over $3000. Help!

I'm at work and was playing around with my two buddies. I was wearing an oversized coat, so one of them tied the arms in front of me. Then the other friend found a zip tie and tied my legs together. This was all fun and games, we were laughing so hard. I was wriggling my way to the door to get some scissors, and one friend decided to help me out. He was going to pick me up. Well he went to get me and drape me over his shoulder- I wasnt ready and I freaked out, I went head first into the corner of the wall, and then hit it again on the concrete floor. Im not bleeding..and the side of my body hurts- as well as my head- but its not agonizing pain.
Should I go to a doctor?
