Health - 17 August 2007

At certain times, my cheeks, neck, and chest get really blotchy and really bright red. at times it can be very inconvenient and embarassing. It seems to happen most when I get hot, nervous, or if something bothers my skin, but none of those things should cause me to turn as red and blotchy as I do. It looks really bad, and I'm really self conscious about it. Any idea what this could be from?

like people ask the dumbest questions? Seriously, c'mon a lot of these questions are not rocket science. A lot of these questions people already have an answer, they're just looking for confirmation to make themselves feel better.

Well we've already talked about this issue and shes claims she 'doesnt like talking about things' though always talks about them, and when i suggest perhaps since she talks about these things so much it would be a help for her to have a therapist....but she just goes on about that saying 'they're stupid' but i know she is the talking type and that therapy would help her....well considering how much she unloads to me. so anyway she hinted the other day that 'well i would want to commit suicide but now i over think the whole thing and realise it would be pretty selfish....' why is she telling me this? does she want attention? is she crying for help? or what? she drops hints like this all the time, what do you think she is trying to get across to me? should i suggest again that she tries therapy? im not the best person to behave as a sounding board....

My best friend has been suffering from very bad depression for the past 3 years. She is on meds, sees a therapist but nothing is helping her and she told me she thinks she might need to go to a hospital but is worried about the cost. I am trying to find info for her but I havn't been too successful. She is 23 and lives in CT. Any help is greatly appreciated.

...she is in so much pain. She is constantly crying and telling me to help her. I can't hold her and I keep letting her know that I'm here and that everything will be okay, but that doesn't seem to help. How can I comfort her and get her to relax. She needs to calm down so she can heal.

I olny want opinions from people who know alot about steroids , (I.E. doctors , body builders , athletes ) . I think that supplements like the new muscle tech products forms of tribulis like t-bomb and other sorts of supplements of that nate mainly for bodybuilding are worse on you then a FDA approved pharmacuetical grade steroid (done in moderation) like a deca and sustanon coclktail of 500 mg each a week . The supplements in my expierience have often given me the same if not worse side effects and I want opinions that will ease the mind of the person I am arguing with . I understand i should do it naturally but with competion these days that is almost impossible ( most would agree?) so please state your opinions from a profesional stand point or that of expierience . I need to settle this debate.

Do you think its a bad idea to have children if you have a mental illness? Depression runs in my family, and I got hit with it. I want to have children some day, but is it a bad idea? I don't want them to have to deal with what I'm dealing with right now.

I sweat almost constantly from the chest up, to the point where my face will start to drip sweat in just a minute after I stop fanning myself. The skin on my neck and chest has started to burn, like from acid, from the sweat. There is nothing I can do to stop the sweating; light, loose-fitting clothes don't help, even tank tops that leave the skin uncovered don't help. There's no rash, and it only hurts when I sweat (which is 22 hours a day - it feels better during and just a while after I take a very cold shower.

Help?

I am very interested in the field of pregnancy and birth and would love to be involved for a career path. I would love to be a doula or a midwife but my partner's job will not permit me to do that (Navy) as i have no family in the town we live in and would have no one to look after my children if i was to be called out in the middle of the night to attend to a birth. The whole idea to this question is to see if anyone has any sites or info that i could look at in order to be one of the above as a career path. I have no idea where to look to find out where i can do courses to be any of these thing's in Australia. If someone can please help me out it would be much appreciated. Thanks very muchly.

A few months ago my husbands personality changed he flew into rages, blamed everybody else for everything (he was never in the wrong) twists peoples words to suit him so he could be angry about them & this just got worse & worse until he left me about 3 weeks ago stating the love was gone in our marriage since then he has threatened suicide - I sent the police around to check him they found him asleep in bed & told them that he did it to piss me off - the next day he hated me & never wanted to see me again - later in the day he was happy & asking if it was possible for me to change so we could be together again - thinks Im recording all phone conversations - thoughts keep popping into his head that make no sense etc..

I know Im going to be told get him to a Dr but if you have any experience with mental illness you know this isnt always easy. Im after help with getting him help when he cant even see theres a problem and he thinks all family & friends are against him & the enemy.

For the past week, I have had such a problem falling asleep. It's still summer break for me and I'm 16 years old. Normally in the summer I stay up until 2:30 - 3:30 AM chatting with my friends, texting, IMing, watching TV, listening to music.

For the past week as soon as I get into bed, I have such a problem falling asleep. If either sleep on my stomach or on my back.

I normally sleep easily, and I sleep like a baby. I don't know what it is, but I can't fall asleep. I'm basically under no stress at all, I'm 16. I don't have much to worry about.

I close my eyes & try to clear my mind & focus on falling asleep, or if I see just like black with my eyes closed, I just focus on that. I try to relax myself as well.

I don't like milk so I won't drink hot milk, and I don't want to drink before bed.

Any suggestions for me to fall asleep easier? I just want to fall asleep in like 5-10 minutes, but lately it has been taking me 30 minutes at least to an hour!

Thanks!

my mom's brother and sister have parkinson's disease.
sometimes i get these episodes that last 1-3 weeks where my eyelids sometimes tremble for a few seconds several times a day,
could this be a sign that i'll have parkinson's in the future? i'm only 23 right now, but i'm worried that these small signs may mean future problems. thanks
