I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone with hydrocephalus who has had their head surgically reshaped so that it wouldn't be so abnormally large in appearance, and did insurance cover any of it, or was it considered cosmetic surgery?

Anxiety can cause manic symptoms, don't you think? I know mine seems to.

Let's see, when I'm anxious:

My body seems to have a lot of energy, fight or flight response indeed, which allows for me to sleep less.

Anxious people do have racing thoughts and a flight of ideas and often talk very fast without making much sense.

Anxious people need a release sometimes it's a reckless desperate release, sex, drugs, spending or sometimes it comes out like many of those mental states come out, creatively.

Those releases can make you feel nearly euphoric. Finally! Not so anxious! Ever take ativan during a panic attack?

Anxiety can also related to grandous thinking. I've been so anxious I thought the world would end and it would be my fault.

Since our bodies cannot last in that state for too long, after a week or two I get depressed, I can't take the anxiety any more. Wish I were dead and get tired. Maybe the anxiety was anxiety over getting depressed again.

I am trying to gain weight by eating more portions of healthy food throughout the day, but I need some ideas on different foods I can eat to add variety to my diet. What are some quick, easy, and healthy high-calorie foods or meals that I can make to up my caloric intake? The only thing I can think of that I am eating right now is whole grain sandwiches with lots of natural peanut butter in the middle, but that gets dry and old real fast. Does anyone have any other suggestions on foods I could try out to help gain weight? And for those of you who have successfully gained weight, can you share your secrets. Thanks a bunch.

If a person worked out just as hard with a two t shirts a sweat shirt and sweat pants will they burn more calories than wearing just shorts and t shirt. I was thinking of adding clothing while I workout to burn more calories. Like wearing a garbage bag and a sweat shirt. Any feedback is appreciated.

Took her to the doc today. Stated she didn't know if it was a blocked saliva gland or a lymph node. So the doc did what they all do, slap em with antibiotics.
Just found out her cousin had the same symptoms at the same age. They took her to the Cleveland clinic and they missed Leukemia. She died at age 12.

I think we are going to try to get a second opinion around here somewhere although all the offices seem to be owned by the same mega hospital system doc in a box type of place.

Is there anything I can look for on the net or should be watching for? Her whole side of under her ear and upper cheek is swallon and painful.

Very worried..

I'm 21 years old and I'm a pretty fit guy (not overweight or anything). A lot of times, say when I go to play a full court basketball game (or anything incorporating fast and hard boosts of speed), I get VERY overheated really quickly. So much so that I sometimes see little blobs of color appear and disappear in the corners of my eyes. Does anyone know what causes this? It's weird because when I play with bigger guys (more overwieght) than me, they don't tire out nearly as fast as me. Granted I don't incorporate a lot of physical activity into my life (maybe playing fast-pased basketball a few times a year) but the spots and stuff seem weird. Thanks for the help.

I'm a 15 year old here, turning 16 after the summer around October. I'm 168 pounds and about 5'8". I lost 12 pounds since April, so about 2 months, but I haven't noticed too many changes in my body, like loss of fat, do you know why this is? And summer has just started, i've gained 2-3 pounds back and my diet isn't the best, although I am going to the gym and doing the elliptical for about 30-40 minutes daily, is this enough excercise? Can someone suggest eating habits and excercise and diets please? My goal is to lose at least 10 more pounds by the end of this summer, and 20 by the end of the year.

made some major changes. (For the better.) I've been doing very well. Every now and then I'm depressed. However, I do things to work past it all of the time. That's not the problem. The problem is I'm so emotional. I worry about a lot of things. Also, my mind flips from one thing to the next. Although, I can focus. I'm not getting much sleep. They say that happens near the end of pregnancy. However, it might be part of the problem. I'm just curious. I can't and won't go on the med.'s. While I'm pregnant. I would just like to know your opinions. Thanks.

i have varicose veins and i know the job i am doing is making them worse. i did have most removed from one leg, but was warned that i have weak veins and more have begun to appear. i am covered by the disability descrimination act as the condition affects the work that i can do, my employer took on board my condition and offered me the job with an unpaid 15 minute break (i work 4 hours per shift, 3 shifts per week). but could not offer me a stool or seat at the till point as they said it would breach health and safety. what i want to know is should they be doing more? should they be giving me a paid break? i'm considering going to the doctor but have a feeling that he will say that i need a 10 minute break every hour (my employer would prob. only offer these unpaid as the company cannot even afford to pay overtime, and there would no point me keeping the job). or he will tell me to leave (which i don't mind doing if i have a good enough reason, as health comes before work).

I just started my period today but I am going to camp in one month. I know sometimes it's not regular for the first couple of times but sometimes it is. We might go swimming and we are definantly going to ride horses. A lot of people say you shoulden't use tampons for the first year but I want to be able to swim. What should I do? And will it be uncomfortable t use pads or tampons while riding bareback. I only ride bareback.
