Health - 6 September 2007

As a former drug and alcohol abuser (and victim of job burn-out and failed relationships), my dopamine levels are pretty much shot. So far, the best biological therapy for me so far has been to take L-tyrosine and L-tryptophan (amino acids), AND make sure to get sufficient sleep every night. But if anybody knows any "tricks", has any wisdom or factual knowledge, or any useful advice to get a person feeling good again, it would sure be appreciated. Proper sleep and amino acids are HELPING my dopamine levels, they are making me feel BETTER, but I still don't feel like I should. I'm looking for "out of the box" answers to this question. Thank you.

Hi I'm 19 and I went to the doc recently a Gasterologist and he is giving me a blood test next week because he thinks I may have thyroid problems. Ive been doing alot of research and I find I have most of the symtoms for Hypothyroid...looking at other peoples answers they said they went to an endocrinologist. What exactly is that compared to a Gasterologist can they find the same thing or should i just go see the endocrinologist? thanks for the help all the info you can give me would be greatly appreciated

Times are tough financialy, I'm working two jobs with very little rest usually working seven days a week. I try to take a break once in a while to smell the roses but it always seems too short.
I would like to know what works or worked for you while going throught tough times. My best "happy thought" is that it won't last for ever, just keep jugging along. I think I can, I think I can.

There is a shortage of over 50,000 pharmacist in the US, pharmacies need to close for days because they do not have enough employees, people are waiting in line to receive bad service ( because the pharmacists are working to hard)....

On the other hand, the National board of pharmacy (NABP) doesn't case about anything but money. It is not important to them that there are 3000, "Harvard Material", pharmacists that are trying to be licensed. When I call the NABP, they just ignore the problem and repeat the same record.

I would like to make it public, the solution exist, at least part of it, but I do not find someone, with influence, that actually cares.

Any suggestions?
