Health - 20 September 2007

My son broke his femur a couple of weeks ago. As a result he was given a pin in his leg and it was set. He is home now and doing some movement after being in bed for most of the days after his surgery. He now hears a swueeking or rubbing in the area where he received the pin. Is this from over exerting it to early after surgery or is this normal, he feels no pain in the area but he is just concerned is all.

I do admit that I'm not doing so well. I've been a good patient and never missed therapy, tried nearly all antidepressants (newer and older ones, a few of them multiple trials). It hard to keep positive when nothing seems to stop the the horrible relentless hurtful feelings. It has come to this. I just can't deal with the medications and therapy. I just want the pain to stop. I know that killing myself isn't fair to the people around me. I feel like a total loser. I can't even tell anyone how I really want to go. I know I will get the lecture on why suicide is wrong. What about me? I just want to go quietly. I know I'm going to get an ear full on how selfish I am. I don't expect anyone to understand. How would you handle this? Please don't worry. I know what to do when I the thoughts go beyond, "just thoughts". I have an agreement with my doctor that I would admit myself into the hospital. I feel like I just can't win!

I want to start doing tai chi partly for balance and relaxation purposes, but also to learn basic martial arts techniques. (Also for exercise but that sort of goes with the territory I think).

I imagine a few of the styles are a little more suited to older people, but I have heard that the Chen style is good to learn as it has faster-paced movements. Anyone have any input on this?

Hi,

I have went to the OB to talk about the fact that I might be preg.

This is the OB I have had since I was preg with my son. Well I told him that I have not had a normal cycle since June 17th and that I was just gonna do a wait and see that was before my breast started getting more tender and what looks like colostrum is starting to leak small amounts. He gave me a breast exam and said he does not feel any lumps like cancer but he wants me to have a mammorgram. He did nothing about checking to see if I am preg. even though I had him to look through my file and see what happened with my son he stated that even though I bleed like I was on my cycle through my other 3 preg. 2 of which resulted in miscarriages he does not think I am preg. so he will not order the blood test nor a ultrasound. He then said call my pcp and have him to sign off on my mammagram I am 26 by the way.

At http://www.recordholders.org/en/list/ulysses.html several people have set records doing 5000+ push ups. This seems exceptional to me, because most fitness tests consider being able to do 100 push ups good, but doing 5000+ is ridiculously over the top.

I have a lot of stress and I don't know who to talk to. I want to ask my mom but I don't want her to worried so I just want to use this site for the people who wanted to read and I also want some comment if you want to leave one. I like this guy 'A' at school since the first day of 10 grade. I have him for one classes. I don't even think he like me, he doesn't really look at me at all but I wasn't really sad because I don't even know how much I like him. I really want to be a person who like one person and will always be. I feel like I am a slut or something. whenever I see some guy. I would like them. I would get scared if i do something embarrassing in front of them. My inside is like who care what they think, but i just can't do it.Whenever they come, I would show off a little. The problem I have is that I think a lot and I don't even know why. I think when I read and I think when I walk whether it at school or home.That is just giving me stressed and I have bad dream every night.

I have had alot of up and downs with drinking, a bit of drugs, and mainly my weight. I was diagnosed with anorxia and used to be bulimic, though nobody knew. My highest weight was 130 and lowest 92 (from laxatives) I was 92 about a month ago and I am now 103.(I'm 20and 5'7)I try so hard to eat and be normal around food but I just can't. I starve then binge and feel so gross and dont even know what I should eat anymore. I haven't thrown up in awhile and vowed not to take laxatives. I am having a VERY HARD TIME. I pretty much look pregnant from eating or drinking anything. Its so unfair. My laxative abuse lasted awhile so I know my bodys still all messed up. Will my body start absorbing foods normally and digesting right? I almost want to give up b/c I'm tired of looking bloated all the time and constantly thinking about food. I get really bad anxiety about way to much stuff. And I compulsively exercise sometimes- but try not to b/c that makes me binge. I also have bad mood swings. HELP

Okay i have been on depovera for about 2 years now.. I just didn't go in for my last shot. I kind of dont want it anymore. I dont really know exactly why its just people have been telling me soo much stuff. I've heard that it will screw my body up and ruin my hormones. And it will be hard for me ever to get pregnate if i wanted to (off the shot). It's just all gotten to me.. The shot makes me really moody. I will be happy one second and be really mad the next. I cry for no reason.. The reason i first got on it is because i dont have regular periods and i was always thinking i was pregnate because i wasn't having periods... I am in a very serious relationship and i have been for about 4 years... Should i stay on the shot?? What are the dangers etc*.
Any info would be great!


ALSO... I was told when i got on the shot i would gain weight.. Well i actually lost weight.. Does that mean when i get off the shot i will gain weight? Will getting my periods back make me gain weight?

she says she went to a doctor before (2 years ago), but they cannot help.

She had a bad experience with some medication, where she felt happy but also very hyper and she felt something was wrong; the pill was making her feel unnatural.

Anyhow she had a bad experience with the whole system as well, now she don't want the face the health care people because they seem to think that she is crazy and look down on her (did you take your pills today).

There is nothing i can do to convince her that the doctors can help; she is already convince that pills don;t help and talking therapy is just silly.
And if i can make any progress in my arguments; she hit me back with the "whats the point" routine.
And the situation is getting worse. She is talking about suicide and how it would actually be the one noble thing she would do in her life, she does not want to drag me down with her; she does not want to be a burden.

Please help me convince her there is hope!

thank you!

desperately!

My doctor told me the side effects are mostly local but I've read the drug handbook and it says the effects are adrenal suppression and bone demineralization which are after all systemic effects. Can someone please enlighten me on this?

I've been searching for alternative drugs online and i found CROMOLYN SODIUM. It says it's not as effective as steroids but I wanna give it a try. Is it really inferior to steroids?

I have dark skin below my eyes that don't go away. I've read it's one of the signs of allergic rhinitis. How can I make it go away?

PLEASE HELP ME! thanks...
