Health - 28 February 2007

There's only so much my wife can do to help. Eventually she will have enough of me being depressed all the time and cutting myself and threatening to do suicide because I can't get anywhere with these blood sucking companies that are suppose to provide benefits so I can afford to get better. My doc thinks that trying to save the industry by fighting with my employer is useless. Will I ever get justice in this corrupt Canada?

I am unable to wake up in the mornings, I'm wondering if anyone can shead light on why. I currently think its because i'm in an REM state between 6-8am. I have vivid dreams, and if i'm waken at all during this time i just fall back to sleep. I can't eat breakfast or drink coffee because i take thyroid medicine first thing in the morning and must wait an hour. If i wake up at 3-4am in the morning, i can't fall back to sleep until 5:30am. I typically go to sleep between 10-11pm.

My blood pressure is around 145/90 and i am taking 50mg of Triamterene. Because my blood pressure is elevated, my doctor wants to put me on Lisinopril 10mg. The pharmacy warned about the medications both causing potassium levels to raise to unhealthy levels and to double check with my doctor. I did, and they still say it's okay to take it even though the things I read on the net and what the pharmacy told me were negative. I am 27 years old and am already half way through the process of getting the gastric bypass, if I change doctors now then the whole process will be screwed. If I continue to take the Triamterene and not start this new drug, then how long approximately will I see positive results if I try to lower the bloodpressure though diet/exercise. I am wondering on average if you see results in weeks or months because I don't trust this pill nor the doctor seeing that I was already in the emegency room last weekend because he had me on something else that didn't work.

The legal system only helps people with money. My docs say I can't handle a court trial right now. No one in the company believes me when I tell the truth.

I'm afraid to say anything to workers comp or standard life because they are so greedy they have no interest in paying benefits so I can start working on getting better. They keep pestering me to make mistakes and I no longer care what my wife will have to deal with if I do suicide. Public insitutions no longer help people, they steal from people.

I want to loose weight but I keep embarking on this "roler coaster" ride. I loose, gain, loose, gain, loose, gain, etc. I can't take it anymore. I started smoking again tonight in desperation and have even contemplated taking drugs to loose the weight. I just can't look in the mirror anymore. People treat you differently when your a fat pig. My husband won't touch me and my 6 month old is going to be so dissapointment in me when she grows up! I HATE MY LIFE!!!!!

It's been quite the day for me... I was cleaning my ears with a cotton swab and it almost got stuck in my ear... IT HURT SO MUCH... I felt like my ear was ringing. Afterwards headed for the shower and as I washed my face the bottle squirted into my eye. Thanks Neutrogena! It burns so bad... I stood there rinsing for 30 minutes and even cried, which did help it feel better-lol- but my eye feels extremely dry and very red. Hurts to blink. What should I do so I don't wake up with a puffy eye tommorow morning?? Thanks I really appreciate it.

Fighting for benefits via workers comp and standard life for 4 months is stressing me out so bad that I don't want to live anymore and I cut myself on a regular basis. My psychiatrist and counsellor want me to stop working on getting benefits causes its stressing me out. Who's gonna pay my bills? When am I gonna get treated like a person and get benefits so I can afford to get better? Finances have to come first or I'll have only 2 options, go back to work before I'm able to deal with it or be forced to do suicide.

On weekdays I have morning classes, but it's usually the same routine everytime - I get there, I feel tired, I can barely pay attention. Now, I know that there may be other factors in play here, but let's just focus on the food or drinks.

What kind of foods and/or drinks can I ingest that will wake me up or give me a boost for at least 2 hours? Caffeine drinks, etc., list them down, I'll take any suggestions. Although, make sure it's something I can buy in packs or I can make at least 5 times a day with ease.. and probably cheap. I can't afford to buy something for 5$ everyday.

I have to use the computer alot, and I'm sitting properly, but whenever I get up from the computer to do something, my elbows and forearm "pop" and they feel like I was holding something heavy for an extremely long time. I do have mild tendonitis, but I've been doing the stretches, hot/cold water immersion, putting big ice packs on my forearm for as much as I can. When I sit back down to type or use the mouse my forearms become sore, even if I've completed a stretch, water and ice routine. My forearms are flat on the table. Sometimes when I wake up my forearms pop to.

Is anyone familiar with massages that relieve pain on your forearm and elbow? I know that my elbows are tender because when I press lightly against the underside of my elbow it slightly hurts. Thanks!

Up until late 2004 my uterus was normal. Then I started having irregular periods, I think I miscarried and some pregnancy symptoms didn't immediately disappear, I went to see a radiologist a few months later, he said I had functional cyst and referred me to a gynaecologist, the doctor did a thorought test and repeat scan and found my uterus perfectly normal, my periods stabilised and for some seven months didn't have sex. Then I started having sex again, the last time my period was late by a cycle, and like the last time I started spotting when it returned. I decided it will get back to normal on its own... but when I had a bout of severe back pain I got worried and went to see a doctor (a different one.... he sent me for scanning and the result; "2.7cm x 2cm single fibroid, no fluid aroud the pouch of Douglas." What is the meaning of this - Why did he mention this pouch of douglas? Can the fibroid go away the way the cyst went away or could there have been an error here?
