I'm not over weight. I am 5'4'' and about 125 pounds. Recently I started running everyday but I can't run for more than a few minutes. (even after a few minutes I can't breathe and my heart is beating so fast.) and when i say i can't breathe i mean it feels like i can only get half a breath in. Am i just out of shape or do i have asthma or something? the same thing happens with biking and swimming and every kind of cardio.

4 days ago, I started to feel pain on the side of my body (both right and left, but more right side) and the pain is located above my hip bone but below my rib cage. When I lie down, it does not hurt, but when I sit a certain way or stretch a certain way, I feel the pain. I drink a lot of water so its not dehydration, I'm not sure if its kidney stones. I'm just looking to see if anyone has an idea before I see my doctor Thursday.

I read somewhere it's as hard to define MS as it is to find a cure, in that a list of possible diagnosis are checked before actually arriving at MS. I have also heard claims that symptoms can be reversed. Can the immune system be boosted somehow to keep a sufferer more comfortable? There's so much I want to ask. I have recently come to know a sufferer who is wheelchair bound but so positive that it makes me feel really humble and selfish. I can research yeh, but does anyone have first hand experience with a friend or relative suffering from MS that can tell me something the text books cant?

it happened to me twice so far.. i was like exhausted, i lied down on my bed, trying to get some sleep... i felt going deeper and deeper, then at some point, i started to hear people laughing... i was still conscious that im not totally asleep, i could feel the light in my room... so that voices seemed fun at the beginning, so i smiled... but later on, they began to get louder and louder like my head would blow out, and then i was STUCK!!! i tried to stand up as i knew i was still conscious, i tried to move my hands or my feet or call someone, but i couldnt!!!! i felt like if i didnt get out of this thing, i would die!!! i tried to open my eyes, gradually, then i succeeded, but for like a minute i couldnt move at all or say anything!!!
i searched yahoo answers and found out that this is "sleep paralysis".. what is it caused by??i saw a comment that says that those voices we hear are actually spirits... i really felt like those ppl were laughing at me, that they were demons... any help?

My daughter suffers from moderate acne. Would taking the Depo shot excerbate the problem? May it improve her acne symptoms?
I would love to hear from anyone who has used this form of birth control.
Thanks!

I was at horse camp today and yesterday. One girl there went home sick yesterday and was back today. Today we played a relay where you put a wet sponge on your head and run through poles and jumps. The sick girl was in my group of like 10-15 pple. I went before her and then we played again, so she had already touched the sponge. The sponge goes back into the bucket of water before placed on the next person's head. After several pple went after the sick girl it was my turn again when i put it on my head (after it was in the bucket) some water ran down my face into my mouth, but it was only a drop. Do you think i will catch the stomach virus that she had the day/night before?

She hadn't been sick since midnight but she was probably still contagious at 1:30 p.m. right?

I am a bipolar patient, and have been doing very well until this week. I've been so depressed for the past few days that I can barely do anything at all. Typing this question is taking every bit of energy I have. It's for no good reason--nothing bad has happened in my life, and the rational part of my mind knows that I probably just need some sort of adjustment to my medication plan. But here's the problem: My psychiatrist is out of town this week, and I have no way of contacting her until Monday. I've emailed her and called her office...and they keep telling me she'll call me back later. They won't give me any contact info for her, and they referred me to the local ER. I called, and was told that they can't do anything for me unless I'm "in crisis"...meaning that unless I say I'm a danger to myself, they won't help me. I'm not suicidal, but still too depressed to function. I can't handle this for another week until my Dr. gets back. Is there ANYTHING I can do at this point?

Her mom saves things including bulk mail, newspapers, spaghetti sauce jars, my daughters art work (all of it) price tags from new clothes, oid outgrown toys, clothes, shoes, books, etc. There is no place really to put things "away", only piles that can be made so that things aren't in the middle of the floor. Corners, cabinets, drawers perimeters of all the floors are full. I'm afraid that my seven year old is developing habits like disorganization problems herself right now..
I know it makes me feel confused,, mentally cluttered and out of control. I worry about the impact on my daughter. Any advise?

i have been suffering depression for a while now, my doctor just keeps giving me pills for it.
these make me tired and sleepy all the time, it is like he is not intrested in helping me get over this, i have tried talking to my family & friends but they seem to back off as if it is something contagious.
i want to get better, but feel so alone all the time, my life just seems so empty and pointless just now, is there any point in living.
in th last year i have lost eveything i loved and worked for,my wife, my kids, my career, my home and all my self respect.
