Health - 17 April 2007

I'm considering a career in dentistry. I know it takes a lot of hard hard work, but what I'd like to know is how hard is the coursework and is it plausible for someone to get through it.?

So i'm really interested in blood sugar and diabetes and my diabetes Type II runs in my family. I've been taking my blood sugar about once a day for the last 3 weeks. The lowest I have been was 76 and the highest was 157 (this was about 4 hours after supper one night and I really wasn't feeling well). I just took my blood sugar because I'm really not feeling well (tiredness, nausea, headache, and a few other things) and it was 149. Could this be a reason I'm not feeling well? I've taken it a few days 4 times a day and my blood sugar is kind of strange because it is low in the morning (so that's not weird) then goes high before lunch and supper then kind of drops off. Could I have pre-diabetes?

I have a 4 y/o son that was diagnosed as ADHD. That I will not deny b/c he is definitely intolerable. Just last night, he took my daughters goldfish bowel and dumped it out on the counter, then proceeded to cut up the poor little fish with a pizza cutter! He used to go upstairs and opens windows, knocks down screens and hang out the windows. He does all sorts of crazy things like this and that is why I wont deny he is ADHD. I adopted him so I dint really know what bio mom did when she was pregnant from him. I took him in at 4 months old. Well anyways, his doctor put him on focalin and seroquel for his behaviors but everytime I give him his meds, I feel so bad b/c he is just there like a zombie. He wont even move from our couch. I guess thats better than all the other things he does but he complains it makes him feel bed and his heart is racing a thousand mph. Would I be a bad mom to take hime off his meds and stop seeing this doctor?

Is it normal if for a few minutes you are lying on a bed and when you got up suddenly you will not see anything and it will return to normal after a few seconds?

The crazy thing is this. I've only ever been with my girlfriend and she's only ever been with me. So that rules out an STD cause but still there is a burning sensation. No discharge so it makes me think it's something else. However did the test for a UTI about an hr and a half after the pain first hit and it came up negative. Does it take a while for the results to show?

Ok, I'm the type that is easily stressed out over the simple things. I've suffered from stress migrians (I'm 14 by the way) I'll get close to panic attacks. I get a lot of anxiety, ect. Everyone keeps telling me to calm down and relax, but I can't. I've tried deep breaths, drinking some water, counting to ten, ect, but I cannot find a solution that works for me. Anyone have any ideas at all. I've been dealing with stress for awhile, but I've just moved. My third day of school, not from missing everyone, but stress, I just broke down crying. I usually don't go that far, but migrians are really annoying too. Any ideas that I've not already stated?

Also, I'm in school most of the day, so although running and jogging do help me out sometimes that's just not an option when I'm in the middle of an Algebra test, or learning about Madame Curie.

Any ideas for during school? If you have any other ones those are also much apperciated, but I really need some during the day.

My brother-in-law was being seen in his local hospital's ER hallway (as all the rooms were full). A portable x-ray was taken of the bed beside him in the open hallway. That is illegal since it's ionizing radiation in the air and it scatters to whatever it can find to absorb into. He also had to get a CT scan and the tech said "oh this'll kill all your little swimmers." This hospital obviously has very poor radiation practices and they are unprofessional. She wants to know who she can contact to report this to, and I don't have any idea. I suggested OSHA (since they also regulate radiation in a hospital) but i don't even know how to do that. Any suggestions?

I am having surgery in tomorrow morning, one of the procedures is to remove what my gyn called a nabothian (cervical) cyst. I Googled images of nabothian cysts and I don't think that's whats wrong. All the pictures showed what looks like tiny little dots, cysts, on the opening of the cervix, but that's not what is wrong with me. What he's supposed to be removing is a large lump on the side of my vaginal wall. He actually wrote removal of legion on vaginal wall on the surgery papers. Could this just be one really big cervical cyst? Or what? Now I'm really wondering...what else could it be? I am also having a laparoscopy and D&C done to see why I have such irregular periods (2 weeks apart w/o birth control) and cystic ovaries. Looking for endometriosis and signs of PCOS. Maybe the irregular periods and low FSH/LH levels causing irregular/absent ovulation has something to do with this cysts/growth/tumor whatever it is! Anyone?
