Health - 27 March 2007

Recently i slipped and fell on private property, i banged my head hard, this was 2 weeks ago, i now have diagnosed concussion.
I cannot work as i am getting dizzy spells, and headaches, and feel very weak.
I had a CT scan, it was normal but the dr said it could be some time before i feel well enough to return to work.
The property management have already accepted liablity as they should have salted the snow and have offered to pay my wages and any other medical costs.
Also they said they would settle a compensation claim for the concussion.
Currently they are seeking my medical history, i have spoken also to a lawyer who says i do have a case.
Property management have said i can settle now or wait until i feel better, i said i will wait.
Does anybody know roughly how much compensation one should expect? At this point i don't want to sign for anything even with lawyer.
Maybe somebody reading this knows of somebody who was compensated for mild concussion? If so can you tell me?

I always have something to worry about and stress over when most of the time they arent even real problems. I'm tired of feeling this way, I just want to relax. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can't sleep and I can't eat due to stress. I feel like I'm about to lose it; can't concentrate at work, or in school. I don't see an end in sight. I don't want to go on med's like valium to calm me down (and I don't drink) Does anyone have any herbal suggestions?

What medical conditions could cause medicine intolerance?
I was working in sick building and then one doctor thinks I also have Lyme disease. All of a sudden, after 2 months of medicines, I have severe reactions to any medicine. I end up in ER and at home bedridden for weeks every time I try to take any medicines(including nasal spray). They are not allergic reactions in the sense of my throat swelling up... it's that I can't tolerate them(tachycardia, orthostatic hyper, difficulty breathing...)

It seems that this started the day that I got a MRI done with Contrast... this could be coincidental, but it did start at this same time.

I don't know what my problem is, someitmes I just get sad or mad and it seems like I can't get out of it, like I feel like i need ot be sad or mad. Whenever I try to tell it to my mom or someone to help, they're just like:" Oh, that happens ot me too, yea and blah blah blah." It drives me crazy becaus that's how my mom is, I try to discuss my problems and have her help me, but she always says that happens to her too, instead of trying ot help. I also hope that it's not the reaons and wonder if it's becaus eof this book I'm reading, i can't stop reading it, and I always want to read it, but it seems like my body or spirit drives itself crazy when all I'm doing is reading or something. I also seem to get sad when the weather's bad, but sometimes i love it, idk, i love to be around and talk to people so maybe it's almost like I get depressed when I'm not, I was also tired for some of today too, but still happy.Please help I relly need it, thanks!

"My friend is bulimic, etc." Hmph, my friends never give a crap what the heck is up with me. They would let me faint and die in the street or while driving my car. They actually help me to cover everything up. They even give me fattening stuff to eat and ignore me if I call them for help.

Not exactly your typical "popcorn and a movie" scenario, is it?

I know that if you reduce your calorie intake, you risk slowing down your metabolism. BUT, if you increase your exercise at the same time you start decreasing your calories, won't that even things out? My metabolism won't slow down if I do that, right?

This could be due to low sugar also. But is this normal for anyone to do? Like, take 10 min to do something that takes 5 b/c you sit down and just space out?

I wonder if this is mental or physical or what the heck it is.

The condom broke last month, so I took Plan B. Had a really light period for 1 week followed by a heavy/normal period the next week. Last week, I had pains in my lower abdomen... thought maybe it was constipation. My periods are ALWAYS irregular, and I haven't had it again yet. Just wondering if I could be pregnant, or if I'm psyching myself out. Thanks so much!

Are fats really that bad for you?
...After all they are is a storage place, meaning they have the highest levels of both nutrients and toxins, so would reducing the toxins in fat give you a really nutritious food?
What is your take on this?
