Health - 21 August 2007

I can't stand it anymore.
I'm 46.....I take Lexapro for depression 15mg.
My body aches all the time. I feel like I have the flu all the time.
I don't want to go outside.
I feel that my life is over because I'm loosing my looks.
Can menopause make a woman crazy.
Can it make my body ache like crazy?
It also feel hormonal because I have surges of feeling to my breasts and my ovaries seem to hurt sometimes.
It is just awful
I can't go on like this.
All I want to do is sleep. I can't work. I get these muscle aches...It's too much.

I had a full check up.....they say my hormones are in normal range.

I see a psychiatrist and a counselor....

Any suggestions please......
Thanks Dianne

I live near Orlando, Fl and about 5 days ago I was bite on my forearm near my elbow. I thought it was a mosquito bite at first but i started to get swollen. The surronding area of the bite is bright red and mildly painful. It itches right in the center. I scratched off the scab and white puss came out followed by a clear slimy substance. Now it almost looks like a bruise around it and it starting to spread out. Please if anyone can help in anyway I would appreciate it.

I was wondering if someone could help me. I had anxiety and depression problems last year in school. But when I left school it got better because I didn't see people. I got a lot better.

Lately though I've just been really anxious and depressed, everything just sets me off, and I have no motivation to do anything, all I want to do is sleep and sit around. I hate myself. I mean I get lazy sometimes but I mean this is more I seriously have no motivation to do anything

I had surgery in June and was recovering for a month, but I was doing better after the surgery, its just lately I've been like this. Its wierd my mom says she's the same way.

What is wrong with me?

I take one or more showers per day, I always wash my hands numerous times after touching stuff, I clean and dust my room every single day, I keep a clean towel on my pillowcase which I sleep on and change that every other day, I also do other stuff to avoid germs and I ALWAYS think about them! Am I a germophobe or just a clean person? Can you relate to this heh??

My son's old physical therapist is charging ten dollars per page of records to be sent to us. I was wondering if there is usually a charge for sending the records to another doctor instead, once we find a new doctor and therapist at our new home. Thanks,
Ciara

Placebos have even been shown to cause unpleasant side effects. Dermatitis medicamentosa and angioneurotic edema have resulted from placebo therapy. There are even reports of people becoming addicted to placebos.

"Look at your BMI" tell me the honest truth of what YOU think the wieght should be and how much I should lose. And how

Please and thank-you

I dont know how to go about this but here it is. Ive been having pain near my pubic bone,chest/breast area, n lower stomach. There are no bumps near those areas and i dont know what to do. Im not desperate enough to make this up like some people make out to be. I went to the doctor a couple months ago with the same pain and they said nothing was wrong. They said "just sometimes we cant figure out the pain." I believe that to be a lie. But anyways its sometimes sharp n sudden n fast n then goes away n sometimes its slow n dull n then goes away slowly with very sharp pain. Ive also noticed that ive been really tired and somewhat depressed over the stupidst things. They also tested me to see if i was pregnant and i was not. I have no insurance or a job and i cant afford another huge 12000 dollar hospital bill again. What should i do? I just want to be ok for once and not have to deal with the pain any longer!

I am thinking about having the Lasik surgery and I am just looking for some feedback from people who have already had it. I am trying to figure out what some of the setbacks or negative reactions may be to having this surgery. Any and all helpful and useful comments would be great. Thanks all and have a nice day.

The last couple of weeks have been pretty rough so my doc just stuck me on Klonopin for short term relief. I'm just wondering how others did with this drug? I don't usually handle drugs well and I can't afford to be loopy all day. Nor do I want to be addicted. He only gave me a 30 day supply.
Does anyone have experience with this drug for short term?

I heard that Sauna/hot tub helps you to sweat some pounds off. And of course is not healthy for your body to stay a long time. but, how long is it allowed?? how many times a day? and which helps you sweat the pounds off faster? sauna? or hot tub?
