We hear so much about the societal impact & psychiatric symptoms of manic depression (bipolar.) I hope to hear from fellow bipolars & other interested parties about a physical problem I've been experiencing that I believe is connected to the illness. Some background: I am 36, female, diagnosed about 6 years ago, first episode was a depression at age 12 or so. My M/D as an adult is very seasonal. If I'm going to go manic, it always happens in spring or summer. I'll call the problem I'm experiencing a "fluid balance" issue. I have virtually no sense of thirst. If I force myself to drink more than the three cups or so I have with meals, I simply pee it out. If I exert myself (playing tennis, for example) & I get past a certain point (my face will feel hot) I'll know I'll have a bad dehydration headache later. Drinking water doesn't help; sports drink might. I can also overheat after going up & down stairs & in the sun, not as bad, more like a flush. I'm not menopausal. Thoughts? Thanks!

Ok... if I am eating 1400 - 1600 calories a day,
should I be burning 1400 - 1600 calories a day...
or would burning 500 - 1000 calories a day be enough to lose weight?

(Some say I could be burning about 500 calories a day through exercise, and cutting back on calories [but not too many], which I have been doing... would be enough to lose weight.
Others say I should be burning more calories then I take in.
Which is it??)

Should I find a new doctor? There were people in the office 'observing' when she had her first shots..I think that is what led to her forgetting. Should I trust this person? I am so upset. I was given paperwork saying I should have received it. There was no discussion on why I didn't she just overlooked it and then never mentioned it. I realize the vaccine is new. But shouldn't it have been discussed?

I know it's normal to get unwanted erections during puberty (my first growth spurt was in 6th grade, which Iv'e had the most obvious erections since). It seems like I am the only one that gets "embarrassing erections". Everybody notices me when I get them. No other boy gets as much embarrassing erections like me (except one). Is there more testosterone in me? I think about it? I become nervous? I get too excited? Also, what do I do when people make fun and laugh at me, because of my erections?

People always say “drink plenty of water”. I have had about 7 glasses so far today, and there are plenty more to come. Recently I just can’t seem to get enough of the stuff. Is there such a thing as too much water?



Also what is the difference between normal water & chilled water

What I see is quite beautiful but a little daunting...
It is in the shape of an arc and is sparkling like crystals... I don't know how else to describe it. There is no pain.

It has happened three times in 1 1/2 years. The last two occurred withing a couple of months of each other.

Has anybody ever experienced this? Or know somebody that has?

i'm seeing my doctor soon, but i just wanted to see if anyone else has felt this way, and what it turned out to be.

i'm 24, in decent shape and reasonable health, but when i sit for a bit or sleep on my sides, i get these awful pains in my hips that shoot down my legs. sometimes i feel it in my lower back. i just got up from about an hour of sitting on my bed watching tv, and i could barely walk. forget sleep...i toss and turn to accomodate the pain, which eventually subsides. i don't have a history of any injuries in this area, the only thing was a spinal tap at 6 months of age while sick, but i'm sure that has no bearing on the feeling. i've been putting up with this for too long, which is why i'm going to get some answers.

have you ever felt this way? and what was causing it for you? any short term remedies for the pain until my appointment?

I am 35, was on the pill until last April. I went off the pill in April had some pretty normal menstrual cycles, then no period since Dec. I was not having sex during that time. I had sex three times after not having it for a year. The second time, I spotted a little after intercourse for only one day. A few days later, I bed a lot during sex/immediately after. It was pretty intense sex and a lot of blood but it did not continue. Two weeks before all this I had went to my doctor due to no periods. She said I was not ovulating and recommended I do hormone testing and gave me a kit to do at home (saliva and blood test) to see what hormones were out of sinc to cause this. I was supposed to take the test anytime if not having a period. If having a period, I was to do the test on day 20 after bleeding. Now I don't know what to do!!! Could the bleeding be caused by sex? Or could this mean I've started menstruating and ovulating? Do I take the test now as planned or at day 20?

Whenever I sit with my knees bent (in my lap or something) or whenever I sleep with my knees bent for a good period of time and then extend them, they hurt like hell. After about 10 seconds the pain subsides. Both knees are doing this but neither hurt during normal activity. Any ideas?

A day ago I got this bump on my tongue. It doesn't look like much in the mirror - just a little white dot. Doesn't even stick out much. But it's quite painful, especially when I eat.

I've gotten bumps on my tongue before but I think they usually go away within a day or so. I've had this one now for two days and it hasn't gone away yet.

Is it possible that this could be oral herpes (I did some reading on the internet and the symptoms sound similar).

I'm including a link to a couple pictures I took of my tongue (don't worry...nothing too gross) so that you can look at it and help me assess what it is.

I am 16 years old, 5'7 and weigh 112 pounds. While this sounded normal to me, alot of people have said that I should weigh at least 120. However, I eat normally, excersize, and think that I look normal. I actually have pretty many muscles.
