Health - 24 September 2007

I went to the eye Dr for vision problems and headaches. THey ordered a cat scan that revealed a problem with my P.T. gland (a macroadenoma) and they've asked me to get an MRI next. The blood work they did is back and it's indicating I have a very high white cell count. The tests results also read "Sed Rate-Westergren-- 40". The normal range for that was 0 to 20. I don't even have a clue as to WHAT that is. But it's kind of scaring me. I won't see the Dr. about the results until after the MRI is all done and I'm currently waiting for the appt to made and for the Dr's office to call me. I'm worried.... Because I know about the Leaukemia. As for an infection, the only infection I know of is a cyst that won't heal up and go away (had it for almost a year now). I also have recently starting having a problem with C.O.P.D. and have something called Complex Hyperplasia.

I'd appreciate any serious replys...... Thanks.

My other ? was.. "are all men addicted to porn?" which is based on what the man Im dating said. He has since given up porn, or so he said, and he is on meds for his bipolarism. We had a nice five days together, but I had to leave early. While I was gone, we ended up arguing saturday night. In the midst of this, I got a weird call from a PHONE SEX OPERATOR! She said "I know all about you, I know him, you don't know me, but he's heavily into to phone sex and has been calling several women, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We had phone sex 3 wks ago & that you've been at his place and just left the last 2 days".

She told me stuff noone else could know, but most compelling was what she knew concerning my whereabouts. Only HE could tell her that. I confronted him and he is TOTALLY denying it. he says Im being pranked, thats impossible, Ive told noone. He said he would "sue her for slander". His porn addiction led to this. I don't know what to do. Pls help and advise. (I will respond in "details")

there are people who drink snake blood, do you think there is nothing wrong with it, or any bad side effects? what about your own blood (maybe because of nosebleed, crack lips, from gums.) or intentionaly drink a human blood.

James Kellogg, master hypnotist came to our school today. I was chosen to be one of 12 subjects. Out of 12 subjects, I was only 2 out of 12 who were not put under hypnosis. He told me thanks for trying...and made me go back to the audience. Do you think it's bad if you can't be put in a state of hypnosis. The other 10 people were doing everything he said. I don't know....but I think I'd rather have someone not be able to control my mind. I heard about 20% of adults are unable to be hypnotized, 15% are highly hypnotizable, and the rest fall in the middle.

I use to be really good in school. I made straight a's. But now that I am in college, I can't focus! I can read a whole chapter in a book and not be able to tell you one things about it! Most of the time when I am reading or studying, I start to think about other things and i can't focus. Sometimes when I am talking to someone, I forget what I am talking about mid sentence. I hate interviews because it's so hard for me to answer a simple question like"what do you like to do" I can't even think about what I like to do....i hate this, what is wrong with me?? I am failing all of my classes. I don't go out at all! I don't drink smoke or do any types of drugs

I don't have a favorite anything! not a favorite fruit, singer, color...anything I can never make up my mind about something and my handwriting is always different when I write, it's like there is nothing that defines me....my voice changes, i don't talk a certain way..sometimes i talk really proper and sometimes it's kind of ghetto, I don't even have a certain clothing style or guy preference....it's like i'm not one person, but a bunch of different people. No, i'm not bipolar..lol i just wish that I could define myself and I can't because I don't have a favorite anything! BASICALLY, the way i do things are not consistant, and everyone around me seems to know who they are and what they like except me...im 20 years old by the way

My friend is 27, has completed her M.Sc. with a pleasant personality. She has been engaged for 1 year and the date of wedding is decided to be within next few months. She says that she is not interested in getting married. there is no strong reason sometimes she says that her fiancy is not good looking or some times she argues that she do not want to take responsibilities after getting married or object the age difference (he is 35) or says that she want to do job and have want to have a better carrer. we are not clear that what is the actual reason. and according to our opinion it was a good proposal, well educated, nice family , normal looks of the person (not ugly). her parents say that they cannot wait now as she is already 27 furthermore they think that it will be a perfect match for her. any one suggest what is the reason that she behave so and what should we do.

Are there any particular stores where you can purchase things like hats or t-shirts to show support for women with breast cancer? I know you can buy some things online, but I was hoping to buy some things at an actual store. My aunt has breast cancer and things are getting pretty tough for her right now. I want to buy some cool shirts or hats for some family members. Thanks

I have had recurring ovarian cysts, which caused pain in my lower right quadrant, although larger cysts were found repeatedly on the left. In December, the right ovary and fallopian tube were removed and pathology came back clear (just very fiboros). The pain has continued, along with regular headaches (always a problem), sometimes bowel changes in both directions, fatigue. I have had a colonoscopy (clear), upper gi series (clear), MRI (found the cysts and 3cm gallstone, which the gall bladder was removed). Is this just 'phantom' pains, or damaged nerves from a long history of ruptured cysts, or something else?

What would cause bleeding from the eyes at the time of death? A church member was discovered dead in her home, by a person staying with her. She was dead and there was bleeding from her eyes. I am afraid of this person now. Is it possible that there was more to the story than she went to check on her and found her dead?

Ok here is the problem.
Something happened some time ago that forced me to change my social surroundings. I want to talk about it so bad but whenever I try around my friends they either say "Leave it to a journal", "Nobody cares", ect. ect.

When I try to go the journal route it only seems to build on the emotions rather than help.
It seems that whenever I try to talk about it no one wants to hear it and they tell me to leave it in the past.

There has to be other was other than talking to others or writing in journals but what other ways are there?
