My ankle hurts to the point of almost not being able to walk. I don't have arthritis, I don't remember twisting or spraining my ankle, it's not swollen, or discolored, even the emergency room couldn't find anything after 3 x-rays! I seems to hurt more after a lot of physical activity or a full day of work. (I work at Home Depot and walk on cement.) But it can also hurt just by sitting around, or after a night of sleep, so yeah, why ouch?

I am so tired of living my life the way I have been living it. I have always made all A's, been the first seed on the tennis team, tried to help and be there for my friends when they have needed me, and have always been a Christian. But lately... I don't know what to do. I have 3 B's on my report card, and I don't really know who my friends are. I am sick and tired of everybody thinking I am as close to perfect as you can get because I am not. I screw up a lot, at least lately. I feel like I have no control over my life any more. I feel like I am on the verge of doing something really stupid to myself: going anerexic, committing suicide, or cutting myself. The thing about suicide is I don't want to upset my mom amd dad and make them think they haven't been good parents. I also don't want it to make my parents look bad to thier employs and friends. I don't think I could ever bring myself to do suicide. I would probally chicken out. But I do want a way for all this to get better.

I stopped drinking, and smoking crack, and everything else, and its all dandy for 10+ years. But the internet--honest to god, the mental effect is somewhat similar to cocaine. However, I don't think I can completely quit using the internet. I have to email for work and use some things for work related research. So what do people in OA do--obviously you can't stop eating, right? Or Sex Addicts--what, you're going to recover, and so the Mrs. is S.O.L.? How does it work? And if you have any ideas about internet addiction, specifically in using a spiritual program (the 12 steps), that would be wonderful too.

I have been taking Adderall XR 20 mg for 2 weeks and night before last my blood pressure went sky high and I had to go to the ER and they treated it as if I may be having a heart attack. I am 47 and have never had high blood pressure. Question is Could the Adderall XR cause this? I did not have a heart attack but was admited to the hospital and did a Stress test the next day and every thing was good. Please help! I feel I can't do without my Adderall!
Thanks in advance!

I just started taking it for my somadic depression and anxiety.

i have been having HUGE mood swings,
(not related to menstral cycle)
i will be quiet and nontalkative and rather grouchy,
to me not being able to sit still and think straight, and go 5 seconds without talking.

i am a rather mellow person,
but i am also being looked at for manic (bi-polar).

so basically, my question is could this medication be giving me these HUGE mood swings?

or is it just my body getting used to it?

or could it because of my (possible) manic?

Well, about a week ago my gay friend had unprotected sex with this guy that he had only known for about a week or so. He is very upset and panicy now. He can't get this off of his mind and he is searching for information on aids and other stds. He has no symthoms of anything and has been tested for aids before and is planning to be tested again soon. He is so sorry he did this but he can't change it. Through research he found out that our state ranks number 2 for some sort of scale on aids. I can't find the right words to tell him. What would you do if this was your best friend. Even if he takes the aids tests today it takes 6 months to be in the clear or something like that. He's started searching for life insurance and even calculating his time he thinks he'll have to live if he has aids. This is very serious. What should I tell him to make him feel better.

I Think My Daughter Has numerical dyslexia. Shes 12 Years Old And She Still Finds it Extremely Hard To Add Up Simple Sums Like 15 and 15! She Finds It Hard To Remember Number Sequences and Things she learnt In School. She's really intelligent Where Things like Art And English Are Concerned, But Scene As Shes So Good At Writing, When it Comes To Numbers She even writes Them backwards! I'm Dyslexic and so is my son and we both have ADHD too accompanied by it. Does anybody know whether its worth a test because the tests are a lot of money. And Also What are the actual symptoms and is there some sort of cure of something to keep it under wraps, because sometimes she comes home upset not being able to do the things that other children can and she says that she's so embarassed when teachers ask her questions out loud that she just simply cant do, Please can somebody help? Im quite worried!

I chose to have porcelain crowns put onmy front teeth for cosmetic reasons. The permanent ones (I rejected them) came in too short, uneven, slanted inward and with a gap. They are like nothing that I pictured. I bawled. The dentist offered me my $ back and said I could find another dentist if I didn't want to resend them to the lab. Now I have to specify what I want...I assumed it was understood that I wanted symmetrical, straight, perfect front teeth. I have to show the office what I want based on pictures from their office booklets that they sent me home with so they can instruct the lab to make them exactly as I want. In addition to all the above, in the office light, the color reminded me of old crowns I have seen on older people that look to be about 20+ years old. I am devastated. This is a procedure I looked into thoroughly before making my decision and now I feel I made a mistake as there is no way to restore my natural tooth.
