Health - 20 September 2007

This is the first the time I have used this site to have someone answer my question.. although its not really a question, its more of wanting input from others... I know this may be cheesy, but if I could get others to share their input, Id really appreciate it. Ive never admitted to having depression, but unfortunately I do. I wish it would just go away, but it never does and it has become worse and worse. (please don't judge me) i don't want to have to be put on medication, or seek "professional" help. no one knows what really goes on inside someone else's head. Although they may have a piece of paper claiming they do. So i guess my question is who else out there on internet land has experience with depression.. I want some feedback not only on the positives but the negatives, since I am one who tends to listen to both sides before making a rational decision. i know for one, that I am not well. I just dont know how to handle it at this point in my life. damn I ran out space to write.

About four weeks ago I fell and hit my forehead on corner of a piece of furniture. I had a black eye afterwards and large bruise on my temple and below the eye on the cheek as well. The doctor said I was okay and sent me home. He took an x-ray and said that it didn't show any damage. While the black eye is healed I have a noticable ridge in my skull that runs from just under my hair line down through the temple to my eye sockett as well as from the lower part of the eye sockett to the middle of my cheek bone. Is it possible that the doc was wrong? It is really sore and I have occasional headaches in that temple area but nothing over whelming. Since so much time has passed, is it worth it to go somewhere else and have another doc look at it?

For the past few weeks I have been experiencing a growing pain in my wrist. The pain originated under the ball portion of my wrist on the pinky side of my hand. If I bent it downward or turned the steering wheel or even use it to support me when I croutch it would send a sharp pain in that joint of my wrist. It feels as though it is enflamed and I am not sure if it is a tendon, carpal tunnel or what? The pain grows with each day and I am not seeing any physical signs (yet). Can anyone give me a diagonsis and if identified any remedies? Thank you kindly.

I have blurry vision for the last 3-4 months. The doctor first asked me to get a Vision Field Test done, the results came out perfect. I now have to get a Corneal Topography Test.
The doctor hasnt told me anything yet...he just mentioned that my eye veins are torturous.

I'm 27yrs old and have never kept track of my daily eating in terms of health and nutrients. I think now is as good a time as any to begin eating healthier. Any suggestions?

Are there any good links to follow for further reading?

Thanks in advance, : )

Some people see my big arms and assume i'm on steroids. This doesn't bother me too much, but it'll make the road to graduation easier. My arms are big, not too much veins, stretch marks on top, kind of ashy, and I got a bit of belly fat.

I went to the doctor because I have this growth on my jaw, which is pale brown and wasn't there when I was younger, and now resembles a pail mole (I have something similar on my back, and chin) but I looked at the rest of my body and found an suspicious mole behind my ear. I checked online and read about lymphoma and the like, and the swollen node is on the same side, but on my neck. It hasn't gone down, and when I went to the county hospital (for the mole, and an abcess) she seemingly ignored anything to do with the lymph node. I was examined for 3 mins. She brought back a dermatologist who said it looked normal but that she'd like to biospy it anyway. I asked about the swollen gland, and she didn't say anything to me, but she said to the derm "I think its viral" but never seemed concerned with it.

all symptoms- swollen node, ear-jaw-muscle-head pain. abcess, and just feeling weak.

meds- antibiotics & Depo

idk what to do, everyone says i'm a hypochondriac.

I feel like ever since I contracted the virus I will never be able to have sex again, or even meet anyone that would want to be with me, people just dont understand herpes and even though we can educate them, they would rather just move on to the next guy. Im a really good looking guy, educated, very intelligent with a lot of talents and goals but I doubt that any of this will help me. Before I got the virus, I already had trouble finding girls because I am extremely shy, now that I am dirty in the eyes of society I find it impossible. I would hate to pass on this virus to anybody else, because I know how much it sucks, so I would like to meet a girl with the virus. I know there are sites out there for this stuff, but they can be pretty expensive, are there any other ways, maybe a free site, anything will help.

I have trouble sleeping. I feel tired, but when I go to bed, I just lay there. I do not have health insurance, so I cannot go to a doctor. Any suggestions as to what I might be able to do to help me get to sleep without the use of medications or doctors?
