Health - 17 September 2007

My step-mom is having several health problems and seems to not do well with traditional medicine. She lives in New Kensington, PA. and could travel 10-15 miles to see someone. She would consider seeing a Naturopathic Doctor or a Chiropractor as well as someone else who could help her with her thyroid and high blood pressure. She is currently on prescription medicine but it seems to be making her feel worse.

My boyfriend is coming over to my dorm room on Friday and we will be having sex for the first time. We are very much in love (we've been together for years) and we've already got contraceptives. Is there anything else that I'm missing or that I should know and/or does losing your virginity hurt that much?

I had a Really bad Migraine awhile ago. I had numbness, vision problems and slurred speech. Eversince then I panic when a glare of light hits my eyes or someone takes a picture with a flash. I also feel like i see white spots when I glance at something fast. It makes me so scared that I begin to panic and sweat and get really scared. I hate feeling like this. Has anyone else ever had a migraine like that? I also worry about everything! I was given Lexapro not sure if I should start a medication or not!

I've been sick for about a month. At the beginning I had a sore throat, fever, stuffy nose. Now my nose is just congested and i have a really bad headache. I noticed today that under my jaw is swollen and it hurts to touch. Also, my lower cheek, right above my jaw is very tender. Could this be related to my cold? And can colds even last this long? I've been feeling bad for about a month. And I've been getting colds and sinus infections at least one or two a month for the past year. Could there be something else wrong with me? I get sick all the time.

Could this be OCD?
These are some things that I ALWAYS do:
Everything that i do has to be in evens <-- that is the major one

I usually have to touch an object an even number of times with both hands or my hands feel tingly and weird

When I'm in the car, I'll breath in when we go past drive ways and breath out when we go past grass.

I swallow and breath in patterns (especially when i'm in the car)

If I stub my right toe on the stairs, I have to go back and stub my left toe with the equal amount of force

When I'm walking on a sidewalk and one foot steps on a crack, the other foot has to step on the same size crack and i keep stepping on cracks until both feet feel equal. If I dont, one feels heavier than the other.

Everything has to be symmetrical

If one finger kees doing al the typing on the keyboard, i make sure to "include the other fingers"

What do you think?
