the vertigo is only when i get up in the morning. I get up slowly and sit on the edge of the bed until it passes. Usually seconds and sometimes minutes. I then can get out of bed with no more vertigo but have a bad headache and pressure in the front of my head?? what could this be? I checked my B/P which seems low at times esp. in the morning but fluctuates all day?? any ideas or suggestions? thanks Sheri

Hi. I purchased on Ebay some tablets. (Colon Cleansing Kit). They turned up yesterday in an envelope, and inside the envelope is a clear bag which is sealed by a sticker with the name of the drug hand written on it. No instructions no leaflet nothing. In the description on e bay it shows a bottle of tablets, although the seller states he sends this tablets in discreet packaging. Would you take these tablets? I went to my doctor yesterday and he strongly advised me not to take them. The seller on e bay is being very awkward in giving me a refund £25.00. What would you do. I have tried to escalate a claim via paypal, and paypal says I cant do this??? Help please I am very confused and out of pocket. Remember this is just a clear bag with a sticker on the front saying a name of a drug. Thank you in advance.

What I mean is....

Sometimes I'll think negative, sometimes horrible things about someone close to me, for instance, my father, or my mum (it happens most often with her and she's the one I'm closest to). I'll sometimes think... "I hope she dies in a car crash" or if she's cooking something "I hope the oven explodes" Or sometimes I'll imagine bizarre scenarios in which im doing horrific things to my parents that I can't even begin to describe. And the strange thing is I don't mean to think these sort of things! What's also strange is there's virtually no hostility between my parents and I.

This sort of thing doesn't happen very often... but I get a bit worried when it does.

So what could all this mean?
Is this... normal?

Background info: I am 24/female. I have had panic-disorder and anxiety since around 13 yrs. old. I am taking paxil 20mg and klonipin 1 mg x2 daily for anxiety. I also take Albuterol in the nebulizer for breathing problems. As needed.

My heart rate usually runs around 85-95 beats per minute. For the past 6 hours it is staying right in the range of 120 beats down to 105 beats. My blood preasure is good though.

2 weeks ago I went to the emergency room due to being very ill and weak. I had a fever of 102.8 and they noticed my heart rate was 138 and they ran me back to the main ER and hooked me up to an EKG machine, did chest x-rays and kept me on the moniter for an hour or two. The tests came back normal.

However this time I don't have a fever and am not feeling ill. The last time 2 wks ago I had a viral infection.

When I lay very still it is about 105-110. Moving makes it go faster. My breathing is hard sometimes because it feels as though i've been running.

I work for mental health, in Health Information Management (medical records) and I have copies of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Of Mental DIsorders editions !I, III, III-R, IV and IV-TR.

I wish I could find a DSM-I. I have searched on Ebay for about a year or so. I have only seen two or three offered on there in this time and I was outbid each time.

I don't even care if it's the original book, I'd be happy if it was copied on a copy machine or something.

It isn't really necessary, just personal interest. However, there is some use for my job since I sometimes have to interpret really old mental health records to help somebody get services, government benefits, etc.

Thanks.

I'm allergic to something but I don't know what it is so I am going to the doctor to get tested for different types of allergies and I was wondering what kind of doctor should I go to? I was thinking of going to an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctor... is that the right doctor? If it isn't, which doctor should I go to?

Thanks so much for all you help! =)

Hi, I am asking for a friend because she is too embarrassed to ask. She has Bi polar 1 with rapid cycles and also suffers from HSD, she is taking med's for the Bi Polar but her symptoms for HSD are getting worse, when she was first diagnosed and medicated she was normal again but recently her 'cravings' are getting out of control. Does anyone have any advice, she feels she is going crazy

I know people say that you should take 1 or 2 days out the week to allow your muscles to relax with other exercises, but what about walking, since it's kinda causal?

I know that you should only eat fruit on an empty stomach...I have tried this but every time I eat any type of fruit I get an extremely bloated hard and sore stomach, I was just wondering if this is a common thing for people to be allergic to fruit because everyone tells me that I have to eat fruit because it is very bad not to, but I do not think that it agrees with me.
