Health - 21 September 2007

It's so bad, I even get turned around in shopping malls. I can never find my car in parking lots, and driving out of town, is out of the question. It kept me from going to college. I'm 50 years old and sick of it. I've always had inner ear problems since birth. Someone told me that it could be related. Any truth? I know that it effects more women than men. I saw that on T.V. Help and thanks in advance for caring enough to answer. Val

I've been on citalopram for 3 weeks. I know that's not long enough to really tell if it's working or not yet, but are there any early signs at all? Like increased energy levels or whatever?

I'd love some help. I need some hope

i have very bad gerd because of anxiety and panic attacks and i was wondering if there are medication out there for me that will help me overcome it. gerd is bad in itself when it comes to food, but with anxiety and i am scared to go out in public because i am afraid of dry heaving and having what seems to be a life-taking experience. yes, i will see a psychiatrist, but i would just like to know if anyone has experienced this issue and how they've come to change it and what kind of medication has worked and changed their life. thank you everyone for your honesty and conern. :)

Hi-
I've recently been feeling very, very tired. I'm often hungry, a few pounds heavier and feeling down. I know that this could be caused by a thyroid problem, but I was checked for it 2 years ago, could it have cropped up since then?
I also recently stopped taaking the mood stabilizer Lamictal, but that should not have this effect.
Any experiences? Thanks!

I weigh myself every morning. I eat about a 1200 calorie diet. Lately I've been exercising 1 hour a day on the elliptical. Today the scale didn't move, so I'm worried, could it be because of water retention or muscle gain, etc. please help.Thanks :)

I've been eating cous cous once a week but probably more than the recomended portion, will it make me fat? Can I eat it like rice as I read it's high in protein.

My best friend is a 57 year old male. I am an 18 year old female. For the past month we have been exclusively dating. We are fine with the situation and very respectful of others. More recently his friends have voiced great negativity and have even threatened to disown him should he continue seeing me this way. Under much pressure, he has decided to break up with me (no fault of my own), and "reevaluate" the situation. He has known me a while and we do love eachother, so we still talk. He has decided that we can continue our relatinship if a number of people say, 'yeah this is weird, but you are both adults who have to face the consequences of your actions. We dont like it, but we dont think either of you are bad people in doing this.' His friends mentioned that he is stealing my life. He is not. I am not blind, I am very clear as to want I would like to experiment. Without sarcasm, is he just wrong, or should we be allowed to try and see for ourselves? Please be serious.

I'm taking an esthetics class at Georgia Career Institute. We do treatments on clients that come here. I help them find better ways to treat their skin. I heard that the pH balance of Dove soap is awful. Clients usually ask if it's ok to use Dove on their skin, because they have heard that it causes problems with kidneys and also causes blood clots. I didnt know what to suggest for them...???

My boyfriend is a very defensive person and tends to feel like I am criticizing him when I am not. I realized that it is probably a defense mechanism because he is insecure about himself. He has a deformity on his body that no one knows about and I know he is ashamed of. I think it has affected his sense of self-worth and esteem internally. I would like to help build his self-esteem so that he feels he is a good, valuable person even if he has the deformity. What is the best way to go about doing this?

He is also going to get a surgery in the next few weeks to correct the deformity, though it won't correct it 100%. I am not sure how to handle the emotional/mental changes that will occur in him and our relationship after his surgery, nor do I know what to expect. Any advice for that as well?

He's 55 and has always lived with my parents. Hardly ever worked. Has ocd, and a really bad attitude. My mother died in 94 and my dad had a complete breakdown a yr later. My brother had my dad sign everything over to him, house cd's bank accounts ect. There was a will i saw in 84 that everything would be split equally. He took advantage of dads illnes and dad died in 2005. Brother was a mamas boy and she also had mental problems. He has no friends, sees things only in black and white, if you don't agree with him, your wrong. He hates everyone and is so tight with his (Dad's) money. Still wears clothes he had for over 20 yrs with holes in them. I haven't spoken to him in a yr and don't want to. he's afraid of germs and washes clothes in pinesol. Just thinking of him makes me sick. So what do you think of big brother? The song, Mother by Pink Floyd comes to mind for me.

I am currently on aerobics doing 1 hour - 5 days a week. And I have to move to a different location for few months and I would be missing my aerobics for 6-8 months.
If Yes, I would gain weight then let me know what best can I do to avoid that.

PS: Am prone to put on weight in my abs & lower abs region.

I am having Root Canal next Friday after suffering for three months with an abscess, will it hurt?

I am in no pain, but have a small abscess on the gum which is only slightly painful to touch and does drain by itself! I have a quote of £350 (Private) to get the work done.

I guess I am just wondering, how long it will take and whether it will hurt or not?

I cant seem to lose anymore. I cant possible eat any less or work out anymore then I am doing now. I understand that the body gets used to the new calorie intake and adjusts, but how do i keep losing? I read that I should try eating a few more calories a day to try and "trick" the body, but as soon as I do this, I seriously gain like 3 pounds overnight! Just by eating a teeny bit more. Help!!
