A lot has happened to me in the past... and because of a traumatic event, I've become extremely paranoid and anxious. I saw a psychologist for a couple of weeks three years ago... he said that I had GAD. I would get anxiety attacks at the weirdest times. Like this stinging sensation in my chest. That has finally gone away, but some things haven't. I used to open and close doors repeatedly. Over and over again. I stopped that. I forced myself to. But I do get weird images in my head. Like if I'm washing my face in the sink, my mind flashes an image that the water is really blood and that some killer is behind me waiting to murder me. I'm afraid of someone breaking into my house EVER NIGHT. I have obsessive thoughts of how I might become blind and how I might get wrinkles. I'm beginning to check things repeatedly now. I've noticed that I keep on checking the lock on my door all night. I lock it sometimes because I don't want someone to kill me.

What should I do?

Is there any harm to fluctuating the amount of carbs a somewhat low-carb dieter consumes per day? I sometimes fluctuate between 55g-75g and was wondering if such a fluctuation is harmful. Thanks!

(Please only answer my question. Please no low-carb bashers, anti-low-carb answers, etc. I am on a safe, monitored, nutritionally balanced diet/exercise program but sometimes slip up on my total carb intake due to my sleeping schedule).

I have this canker sore in the underneath my bottom lip. At first it was pretty small and did not hurt much. But after a week or so, it got bigger and more painful. I started to put a medicine called pyralvex to treat the sore. But it still remained for a few more days and got bigger and became inflammed. To relieve the pain, I gargled some Listerine mouth wash. After about 3 hours, I put some more pyralvex on the sore; it started to bleed and look irritated. This has lasted for about 2 weeks. I now know that this is a major canker sore. What can I do to relieve the pain and make this sore go away faster?

Will taking an ice bath, affect my body or blood sugar in anyway? I have to do it for sports. Theres a full body bath in a tub. And just for the legs in a garbage can full of ice&water. I'm just wondering if there are any medical concerns, because diabetes affects more than just blood sugar, such as eyes and teeth. So help? (: OH. I have type one diabetes.

I also posted this on the regular Health section. But I want to try this section cause it might be more of a help specific(:

I have never shown signs of asthma in the past, had a sudden allergic reaction (I'm 30) and ended up having "asthmatic bronchitis"... he had me do a breathing test where I blew hard and fast into a tube... my results were 250 first, then 270, then 260... then he had me take a breathing treatment (my first ever) and my results were 310, 330, 320.... obviously there was some improvement after the breathing treatment.. does anyone know what these numbers mean and if they are "normal"? Any thoughts?

I've been to the doctors and he says that it has to do with the tubes that connect my ears, throat and nose. He says that there is nothing that can be done about it, but it is extremely annoying, and it often distracts me from things such as paying attention in school. He prescribed a nasal spray, but it didn't work. I'm 17 years old and my ears have been popping like this since I was 14. It doesn't hurt or anything but I would like for it to go away. I often open and shut my mouth to relieve myself of the pressure but it makes me look like stupid. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there any way for it to stop?

I like to use Crest Pro-Health, but no toothpaste I use seems to work! I think I take pretty good care of my teeth, brushing them 1-2 times a day, but I'm getting more and more sensitive spots and my gums have an itching feeling. I normally brush for about five minutes with an electric brush and I'm not satisfied until my mouth feels clean. My boyfriend says I'm scrubbing my enamel off, is that even possible? I haven't seen a dentist in a long time and I can't really afford to. What can I do??

I was just wondering if anyone had ever tried that tightening cream? Does it work? I know about kegals, I do them sometimes but not very often, I dont really like it because for some odd reason it makes me turned on when I dont want to be! And I think they are kind of uncomfortable... maybe I am doing them wrong I dont know, but I was just wondering about the cream, does anyone know? Im afraid that if I use it i am going to swell up really bad or get some kind of weird infection from it, can this happen? Like an allergic reaction?

my vaginal discharge smells strongly of ammonia. It is so strong that it actually discolours my dark underwear. Last time I went to the doctor I had a PH imbalance, is that what this is?

Today was my post-op and the nurse helped clean the extraction sites with the syringe. in the office i didn't feel any pain, just on one side my gums felt kinda cold and tingly after.

after eating, i cleaned it again and now that one hole hurts. it is like the pain you feel when you have a cavity. the feeling radiates under my chin and around the back of my jaw. i'm assuming it's from a sensitive nerve. is this normal??

I pulled it out b/c it was hanging down. I thought it might be a bone spur so I pulled it with tweezers. It looked liked floss. Did I pull out stiches? Not sure if I even had them put in. I just got all 4 out yesterday.
Thanks,
Worried I did something wrong.
