Health - 24 April 2007

I just don't know how to stop the anxiety and constant obsessing. Even though everything is normal, I still obsess. How can I stop creating a problem where none exists? Again sorry if I grossed anyone out or anything lol

I first lost partial hearing in my ear about 6 years ago. I first started having dizziness last April and that lasted about 3
months. 6 months later it started again. I was told by the specialist that I have menieres disease. I still have been dizzy since the beginning of Feb. this year. (3 months and going). I have been told by someone that her grandmother has it and that I should be able to get back to work full time. How do others deal with working. Most of the time my eyes get so sore it hurts to read. I feel like I am the odd man(woman) out here.

I had an appendectomy in 06, and now it is april of 07. I have gained a total of 10 lbs since the surgery and I have done nothing different with my eating habits. I am very energetic and have quite a high metabolism. I excersize as much as I can too. I don't know where it's coming from. The only other thing it may be is, I'm on 10mg of Zyrtec for seasonal allergies. Does anyone have any knowledge about my problem.. Thanks for any help

Any former strippers out there to give advise?
My 21 yr old sister lost her mother a year ago, and has resorted to stripping and lives with a drug dealer. She has turned into a totally different person, and I dont know what to do, to help her. I know she is not happy, I have an open door policy that she can come stay with us anytime, she just cant seem to let go of this lifestyle. I think she wants to stop, but something is keeping her from being able to. I dont understand; I dont want to be judgemental; I am really worried about her- she is so skinny and covered in bruises, her boyfriend hits her, and she is so stoned all the time, I can barely have a conversation with her. She used to be a beautiful vibrant person, with goals and hobbies(horses, barrel racing, rodeoing) and now she cant even take care of her cat. What, if anything, can I do? I am not able to stand back, and watch her kill herself, so please dont tell me to.

So heres the deal. I have already been on two different types of bcp. On was on Seasonale about 2 years ago. That pill really messed up my body, made me feel super sick and moody all the time. So I got off of that pill, and took a few months off. I then started Othro Tri-Cyclin Lo, the low-horomone birth control. I'm not sure if my body was still recovering from the Seasonale or what, but my body reacted the same way as it did on the first pill!
I've been off of birth control for about a year now, but I'm wanting to get back on. Not only will it help with my pms and clear up my face, but it will be another way to make sure no babies are coming any time soon. :)
I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on which pill I should take that won't screw with my body. I really don't want to feel like that again.... I'm just not sure what is out there now that will work for me.

What would you do??? I went to the dentist and I was having pain from temp. being too high. The assistant removed my temp and half of my tooth along with it. Now I have to go and have a crown lengthening performed. When I original ly went to the dentist my tooth was cracked in half. The tooth is in the back of my mouth at the top, next to last tooth. I was supposed to be going in to get my impression from my crown, none of this was mentioned at my last visit!! I left with a referral to a periodontist for crown lengthening. I have to pay for this out of my pocket I do not have dental insurance. Has anyone else had this happen. It seems like I was better off before I went to the dentist. Would it be better for me to get a implant. When they showed me the tooth today I was livid. 85% of the tooth is now gone there is only a sliver of the tooth left.When they put the temp. crown on last time I had WAY more tooth left than that. I am open for any and all suggestions.

I was recently diagnosed with pneumonia and put on anti-biotics. Its been almost 2 weeks since they did the x-ray and blood work and I am having very severe pains in my left side right under my ribcage. I asked the doctor about it yesterday and he told me that is normal from the fluid or plurasy in the lung. He said it could last up to 2 more weeks. Has anyone else ever had pneumonia with these symptoms? It just really hurts. Curious.............thanks much

My partner smokes pot daily. I'm never around when he does. Lately, his behavior has changed and i questioned if he was using other drugs. His response was no. Of course, we are intimate on a daily basis and I'm worried that kissing and "stuff" might make my test come back positive for somekind of drug. I'm currently on probation and get a urine test randomly. I don't wanna test positive for any drugs. I'm still working on finding out if he's using other drugs. i appreciate the feedback!
