Health - 31 July 2007

Yesterday I went to pre-heat my oven and forgot I had left a large plastic container with a lid in the oven. I had stowed it there to keep it away from my young daughter and totally forgot about. I smelled something wierd and realized it was the oven. It was on fire. I was able to extinguish the fire, but the house smoked for a good half hour. The smell itself did not completely go away for several hours. I opened up the kitchen windows, but I stood right next to the stove for atleast 30 minutes getting all the burnt plastic off the oven racks. Today my throat is scratchy and a little painful and I swear I can "taste" the burnt plastic in the back of my throat. Other than that I feel fine. My older daugher, mentioned that she felt the same. Today I plan on cleaning the bottom of the oven since the melted plastic pooled at the bottom. Should I schedule a doctor's appointment or do you think we will be okay in time?

In this day of age is it sad that for everything you do, you could be called sick or have something wrong with you.

I mean play videogames (game addiction), watch TV (TV addict), you like staying home on friday nights (anti-social), .....
Nowadays there are so many disesases and illnesses, that statistically you might have at least on of them.
50 years ago they didn't have state of the art medicines but they also didn't have panic attacks.

Or if all of these things were allready there, then how could we have survived for so long?

Most of the time, I can't work not because of my mental illness, but because of the side effects of the medication, whether it makes you drowsy or makes you shake or whatever.

I am the mother of an 10 yr old boy who was diegnosed with ADHD, OCD and Autism.We are very close. He is very worried about me getting old. Even said that he does not want me to get any more b-days because he does not want me to get old. Tonight he asked if I was going to die because my b-day is comming up. And I said that is normal that when people gets old the will die. Well, all I will say is that he had a meltdown for about 2 hrs. I know he is going to ask me again, How can I aproach this matter, without hurting him? He was talking about not wanting to die, and that he was going to die any minute. He fell asleep crying in my arms, and to calm him down I had to say it was a mistake. It broke my heart.

Some days, my face will have way more colour to it than usual (usually it's really pale white, but sometimes it has so much colour it looks flushed) and my lips turn a really dark, almost purplish, red. This usually happens around my period, but it can happen at random times. I think it makes me look like a completely different person, and I know other people notice it because they've even sometimes asked me if I'm wearing makeup on those days. (I never wear any makeup at all, by the way.) Is there a reason this happens? I hardly ever do any kind of strenuous exercise, so I don't think it's normal face redness from that.

I had a hysterectomy in Feb. I have been irritable and moody since about June.

I do not wannt synthetic hormones, I want natrual ones. I prefer making my ow combination or a good one, that is not blasted by the company as the be all end all.

I did keep my overies, but it seems that I am one of the few that still need the hormone replacements.

I have been crying a lot lately, and cannot handle stress like I could a year ago.

If you need more information, them please ask and I will try to add it.

Thank you ahead of time.

My Neightbor thinks I'm Bulemic because she takes me places to eat almost every week. I just usually eat more than I should and it comes out. I don't stick my fingers down my throat or nothing like that. I'm used to eating healthy,and when I eat El Torito or stuff like that my body can't handle all of that,so I end up going to the bathroom. It happens all the time when I'm out eating places. I over indulge. Now she thinks this because I told her I used to be heavy. Now I'm just a workout freak. I eat healthy (when I'm in the mood),and yeah. I just wanna be healthy,but there's nothing wrong with that. Is there?

when im depressed or sad or cry or hold back emotions, i get headaches. there not migrains but they annoy me. so i take pain relievers. i usually double the dose that it says, and if that doesnt work within an hour i take more, if that doesnt work i take more.... and so on. but it always seems like i still have a headache... im starting to wonder if theres something wrong. and how much i really should be taking... i feel fine, not like im going to pass out or something. so far i have about 2000 mg in me right now, (ur only supposed to take 500) and i still have a headache... how much is too much and why wont my headaches go away? and if i ever do have a problem, i cant tell anyone. my parents would kick me out, my boyfriend would dump me, & my only friend would just join me. our town is so small that everyone knows everything so even if i went ot the next town, my parents would know about it anyways. not that i think that i have a problem because i dont. but please help!
