I'm looking for a professional blog on psychoanalysis where I could find exchanges of opinion and point of view about cases, etc. Does anyone know about such a blog?

By the way, I am interested in psychiatry too.

For almost a month now the lower part of my neck connecting to my upper back has been hurting like crazy. At first I thought I pulled it but now I'm just not sure. My parent doesn't seem to care all she says is 'suck it up' in a playful manor when I tell her about it (i'm 15yrs by the way). Anyway could it be something I did or what? I can't sit down for longer than twenty minutes and if I try to keep my head up straight it hurts even worse. Hope you guys can help.

My daughter had a nasty stomach bug about 3 weeks ago. She threw up for a couple of days, and had diareah for two weeks. When she finally got over that she developped a runny nose and cough, and of course I caught the bug and was in bed for two days. Neither one of us has an appetite, and now my sinusses are bothering me. We don't believe much in conventional medicine, and would like to know what can be done to increase appetite and for the runny nose/cough. My daughter will be two in October so don't know what is approppriate for her age.

I was diagnosed with gallbladders disease after just about the worst biliary attack I could possibly imagine. And after doing some research on the web I've come to learn that gallbladders disease and pregnancy come hand in hand in certain circumstances. My question is this, for any women that have had gallbladders disease during or after their pregnancy, did the stones disappear (because ive read that they can) and how did you cope with the pain? I'm so scared to eat now and I feel like I'm on the edge of my seat just waiting for the next attack. All the information anyone has on Gallbladders disease would be wonderful. Thanks so much!

whilst waiting for the ambulance?
IE: if somebody went into cardiac arrest or was chocking or was delivering their baby would you be prepared to answer questions & put practical help for the patient in place before the ambulance arrived?
Take panic & hysteria of yourself out of it as they are trained to deal with that, do you think they would help over the phone or send an ambulance & move on to the next emergency call?

Ok here is the deal, While serving in the Marine Corps I was seriously wounded. The Major damage was to my back and spine. I am in constant pain and surgery, PT, OT didn't help the VA's only course of action to treat me has been to shove pain meds down me. I can not sleep, sit, stand or walk without the Pain meds. (I have tried to not take them with painful results)

They have me taking 900mg of Gabapentin 4 times a day for nerve damage, and 60mg of Morhine Sulfate 3 times a day and 12 pills of Hydrocodone 5/500mg a day for the pain. I have been on this much for over a year with less amounts for 3 years.

How much damage is being done to my insides (kidneys, liver, etc) in order to control my pain?

I would like a medical persons answer please

A good friend of mine has breast cancer and is receiving chemo therapy and soon radiation. She is 54. She is having problems finding foods to eat, and I would like to try and help. She can't eat soy, eggs have caused problems, and cottage cheese made her sick. All your suggestions would be of great help, especially if you have gone through this yourself or with someone close to you.

I have a conspiracy theorist in my office and he posed the question about the long long term safety of the vaccine. How long has it been studied? He's stating that its only been studied for 3 years and "WHAT IF" all the young girls running out to get it now - end up sterile in 10 years when they are ready to have kids.... because they got the vaccine.

They didn't hurt when they put them in. They didn't hurt for a while. About two hours and 30 minutes after i got them, one of my teeth started to hurt. This pain is unbareable. I just wanted to know if there is anything I can do to stop the pain, reduce the pain, etc.

***PLEASE READ BEFORE ANSWERING (Health Professionals preferred)***
I'm a male, 20 years old, 5ft 71/2 in. tall, 142 lbs. Firstly, am I even in puberty? I have a beard, but its not all over my jaw, and there isn't much body hair or growing pains, I think. I wanna be taller because I feel that many women around me are taller than I am (don't know if it matters, but I live in Texas). My dad is 5' 10", my mom is 5'2" (she says her father was well over 6'). I'm trying stretching, a little yoga, some cardio, I take Centrum and eat some fruits and veggies but mostly processed foods. I drink about 8 oz. of pure water a day and I sleep-in a lot (mainly weekends), but for 8 hrs on average. What else can I do to kick start the process? Or at least add muscle?
