Health - 28 February 2007

i thought I was the only one with a really bad doctor, who passed of my problems and made me feel worse instead of better...until i started reading the answers on here. i am appauled at a lot of doctors and medical professionals these days (not all, of course there are some great ones) who seem to forget what their job really is and make you feel bad for going to see them, when infact its the last place on earth you want to be! I mean it's bad enough having to go and state whats wrong with you without being made to feel like crap for doing so!

Has anyone else had a really bad experience with there doctor, gp or had really pathetic and useless forms of treatment/help suggested to them??

I was in a brutal car accident and am experiencing spine and back pain. I don't want a chiro, but a medical doctor. Should I see an Orthopoedic surgeon? Someone else?

My 7 year old niece has developed a disabling fear of going to school. The women in my family all suffered from this as kids, but as adults, though we empathise, don't know the best way to deal. I'm looking for a support group or someone who can step in and give me concrete step-by-step answers/help for dealing. The school has so far not helped much. I've done lots of research and the common denominator is that getting the child to school is the most important step. But how? She's constantly sick, cries uncontrollably, and when she's in school she's become anti-social, sits quiety at recess alone, does not interact with the other kids, where she was always the most outgoing kid in her class. She is extremely bright and can whiz through homework, but in class she's unfocused and very fearful of each and every step of the day, from lunch to recess to math class. Unlike many kids, she's sick all weekend from fear of Monday. Help!

I'm having normal period cramps. It's the first day. But it's dark brown... little bit of red I suppose. It's a light to medium flow.

The color of the blood is what's bothering me.... the dark brown.

This is normal, right?

I mean, you hear all this stuff about stress being bad for people but what does it actually do to a person? Other than making them feel bad, obviously. Does it put strain on the heart? Does it release nasty chemicals in the brain? What's the story?

Is it possible to test normal on your Thyroid, but still have symptoms of thyroid problems.

I checked the Thyroid website and I have every symptom including the trouble with swollowing from time to time.. I can see from time to time where my throat gets a little swollen.

I do have an appointment with the doctor next week, I was just wondering if this was possible..
