Health - 26 February 2007

My grandson has been diagnosed as ADHD, RAD, and they aren't sure if it is bipolar or not. No meds so far have helped and he has been on over 15 of them at max. dose.Some not prescribed for children. Need to find out if a LP would give me the info of whether he has chemcial imbalance in frontal lobe. The system I am working with has never heard of such a thing, is it possible or not? I am at wits end and need some solid medical answers. He has mood swings from good to bad with no provocation, just being told "no" sets him off, which could be normal for age,however he gets aggressive and at times violent. Been suspended from school for assaulting teacher, he is now in JDC and headed for training school where he has been previously and it did more harm than good. Some want him put away in mental institution for good. Not going to happen until I have exhausted all my resources for care. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks, a loving grandmother and guardian of said child.

Following are the facts about my skin:
1)I have a fair complexion, but I’m highly allergic to dust.
2)Whenever I come in contact with dust, only my facial skin starts to burn. At the same time, I don’t feel any sort of irritation on the skin of my other body parts like neck, hands, ears e.t.c except my facial skin.
3)THERE IS NO CHARM OR GLOW ON MY SKIN.
4)I have been constantly suffering from constipation problems. Though; I drink lots of water through out the day.
5)Compare to my face, the skin of my hands and rest of the body is fairer which I do not understand. Also, the color of my facial skin gets red during the day.
6)I have got the white and black heads on the nose, cheeks and on the under lips, which always come out again when I peel if out with black head remover.
7) Sometimes the skin looks like if it is burnt.
8) My face is always covered when I am out. I use sunscreen lotion
9) I HAVE THE SMALL PORES ON MY CHEEKS WHICH DO NOT LOOK GOOD.
Please suggest what to do

I only lasted about ten minutes in the spinning class. I thought I would need a wheelchair coming out after that. How can I develop leg strength for spinning so I can, at least, work out for half an hour.

Put simply i don't know if its worth the effort to keep exercising and working out in the vain attempt of trying to be more appealing to other humans, so should i give up on love or stick with it?

i have lots of dental problems at the dentist every 2 months, fixing fillings and other problems, can this have an effect on your overall health as i get sick quickly with flu and if there is a virus around i always catch it, or maybe stommach problems? I know it can make your breath smell bad.

I feel like I am going crazy. Just across my office, a new building is coming out and it's the loudest noise you can imagine that is constantly pounding on my head and in my ears. I feel so tense I cannot work and I go home with the noise still echoing in my head for hours. I think I even dream of the noise. I feel like crying coz there's nothing I can do... The building will still take a year to finish and I don't want to quit my job. Help Please!
