I recently returned to work after I was violently ill for 3 months. I was tested for colitis, cancer, croan's disease and after finding nothing they diagnosed me with IBS. I have to watch what I eat and drink so my symptoms don't get too severe. I work at a buffet and have suddenly become very scared of germs. I see so many different kinds of people handling the utensils. I feel that I'm so supseptable to illness. I have never taken any sick time for this before. I had a little bit of an IBS episode at work the other day and have come to the conclusion that people are not very sanitary and I might get sick from them. They are coughing and sneezing and blowing their noses or maybe just haven't bathed for a few days. I really like my job but I'm afraid this will interfere with my customer service. Its getting to the point where I won't even touch utensils handled by anyone unless I have gloves on.
Is my fear irrational?

I think I might have this. I can not leave the house without checking all water tapes are off, all electrical plugs are off, all lights off etc. I have to check any doors 4 times before I can leave. When I come home from work, I check all doors and windows, then again. Started when I was at college. Now I have started it at work, and that is a school! My collegues think it is funny, but I can not help it. Any rooms I have been in, and computers I have fixed/logged onto, I need to check and re-check them just incase I did not do it the first time. I slows me down such much, and looks really stupid, but I simply can not help myself. My wife is constantly telling me "yes, you have checked that" and "hurry up, I am getting in the car now", but no matter how hard I try to stop it, I cant. Recently, I have been using my phone to record when I lock a room up, so if I am ever unsure, I can always replay it back. It does help, but I look like a nutcase.

Thankyou for reading

When its early, you feel sleepy and tired, but when its bout 12 am, the tiredness is gone and when you try to sleep, you cant close your eyes........ its like you already slept and ready to do activities.

I have been on a course of Warfarin for 6 months and have now been advised to stop taking the medication within the next couple of weeks. Should I just stop or slowly reduce the medication from 7 mg down to zero over a period of say 7 days, my nurse at my local practice says to stop on a given day and my specialist says reduce the actual medication at 1mg per day. Confused!

I've been put on anti depressants by my doctor. I've been taking them for 5 days now and feel a little more positive but i don't feel dramatically happier yet. Does anybody know how long it takes for them to take effect? I'm concerned that my Dr. might have given me a placebo and the positive feeling ive been getting is all down to my own mind.
