Health - 18 August 2007

3 of my 4 children have been diagnosed with nf1 and apparently i have we were told 3 years ago when one of sons got taken into hospital. I dont really understand what is suppossed to happen or how it is suppossed to affect us I am 27 and have never had any problems. My sons seem fine they just have cafe o lait spots, as do i, which is what the doctor diagnosed it with. i just wanted to know what i am to expect from it.
Thanks

They won't tell me where she went and I need to find her because she helped my husband & me more & dedicated more time helping us than the doctor. I did a search in google but came up empty. I really need to find her...help!

i don't smoke weed just because I want to and that I like it. but rather I smoke because I am trying to cope with others and be friends. but when I do this, I am the one that is suffering. I know this sound depressing and everything but I feel like I have to mention this to somebody. but yea.. it's been bothering me for quite sometime now. See when i smoke...i begin to feel really lonely, and only at that time do i hate being lonely...then i find myself saying(blurting out) things that are fairly rude in front of a group of people. i'm not sure why i'm blurting things out like that but i was thinking maybe because i wanted attention or something. something I really lack during conversations with my friends. i mean, i'm a natural loner. I like to stay quiet, listen, and understand where people are coming from. that's just in my nature but when I smoke, for some reason, i seem to want to get out my lonely state. as if i weren't comforatble with myself. that's where i feel terrible.

I can't have an orgasm during intercourse but I can have an orgasm in other ways. Is this weird, it doesn't bother me b/c I'm still having orgasms but I'm just wondering if it's weird? Anyone else have this problem?

i got a problem. i have social anxiety (no friends, stay inside all day, hardly go to social events), severe depression and emotional issues which tire me out and fatigue me. i have no confidence or self worth, i feel im a burden on people and lower then dirt.

i met this girl, i like her, but due to my problems i ignore her, and seem distant and cold but its just shyness and fear. weve met 4 or so times now in a small crowd, i act the same everytime. ignore her mostly cant make conversation, little eye contact, only respond to questions, serious face. i was told she likes me. i dont give alot of feedback, not aggressive enough to make anything happen. im worried i will miss this oppurtunity due to my ilness but i feel i cant offer her things she may want like social activities and stuff. can relationships work in my position? its been 8 days since we last met, and i dont know what to do, am i worthy of her? all i can give is love which i desire too. i dont wanna be rejected too.

I've been told it's best to take SAM-e on an empty stomach and to wait an hour after taking it to eat. Does it really make a difference?

okay i became anorexic several months ago and it hurts but i cant stop. every time i try to eat normally again i end up gaining a bunch of weight and then not eating for several days to get rid of the weight. its this constant cycle and i want to know if theres a way that i cant speed up my metabolism so i can lose weight healthily without gaining weight in the process.

My husband is on Fluroxatine for his depression, which has helped in the past but only briefly. I have heard alot of positive stuff about St Johns Worts, but could he take this along side his fluroxatine?

I'm going to get flak from everyone for this, but I do not care. Why are so many people becoming overweight? I find that especially women are susceptible to obesity at such a young age. 30 Years ago it wasn't uncommon for a woman to have 4 - 6 children and still have a slender physique. It seems nowadays that once young women have their first child they put on a tremendous amount of weight that in many cases they never lose. I understand that fast food comes into play but it doesn't explain why people do nothing about their weight gain once it becomes evident. I also believe the theory of " It's what's inside that counts" is detrimental to todays society. Reguardless of how happy someone may be who is overweight they wont be very happy once they start to experience problems such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes and other more random things like feeling as though they are about to pass out after walking up a flight of stairs. But go ahead people. tell me it is ok to be Overweight.

I had a friend tell me this, and I'm supposedly not naturally strong. Supposedly the bigger the whitish ring, the more calcium deposits or something, meaning more bone density. This somehow translates to more power (like in a punch).

it seems like a stupid thing to put yourself through if its not going to be effective!plus the risk of ectopic pregnancy is not good either! is this the only option for women that don't want any more children besides being on hormonal methods of birth control? seems like there should be some better way to do this now a days with our awesome medical technology. is there?
