Health - 26 September 2007

I am a 21 year old male and for 13 years I've always wanted to be like other people (like if I wanted to be like Mark Hoppus from Blink 182 I would dress like him and try to talk like him and I would go buy a bass guitar and change my personality according to what I perceive him to be). Also for the past two years I've had mood issues where I am depressed/suicidal for a week or two and then I am manic for off and on periods of time where I go on spending sprees and I am irritable and have extreme anger issues and my mind races. I am also very paranoid and I think people conspire against me. I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and my psychologist said I am Bipolar, but I didn't tell him about my identity issues. I am seeing a psychiatrist tomorrow for an independent evaluation and I just want to have a better idea of what it might be going in to the doctors visit. So what do you think? I am thinking Bipolar or some sort of personality disorder. Thanks.

Yes there's a possibility, but anything is possible. Is it probable though?? Does it really happen? (on a side note, I've heard of sildenafil secretly being found in supplemental products for sex in GNC)

I had 2 teeth pulled on my lower jaw( premolars) and my orthodontist put in these bands from my molars where the braces start, to my canine, since there is now a gap between these...and it feels really uncomfortable, not a pain, but like a feeling that i must bite down furiously, how do i alleviate this and how long does this discomfort last?

I currently have my spacers in my teeth right now and they are driving me crazy. How bad will the braces hurt when I first get them?

I'm taking depo provera as a birth control. My shot was in july - next one is due in october. In august and september i didn't get my period... but for the past week i've been spotting... sometimes dark discharges and sometimes light red spot. always with a mucus thingy in it. Never soak a liner, but I change it often due to hygiene reasons. Sometimes it seems to stop but when I have intercourse, it brings it back. I've been on depo on and off for 5 years and my normal mestral cycle only last 2.5 days. Any thoughts??

My oldest son just turned 5. His teacher has been having a little bit of trouble with him regarding "silly" things and following directions.

For example, they sang a silly song where they changed the first letter of everyone's name to an "L". She said he got very upset and didn't want his name to start with an L. Today he got upset because she moved his crayons out of his reach while he was sitting - all he needed to do was stand up and reach. He's not being a "pest" on purpose, he genuinely gets upset.

Also, he's very picky about his food. No sauces, nothing grilled, no yellow cheese, it has to "look right", etc.

I really don't feel as though we have raised him this way. I truly think he came into this world "picky" about everything. He's very intelligent with a HUGE vocabulary, but he likes things to be as he likes them.

Is any of this normal for a 5 year old or am I looking at a behavior/personality problem?

Just had a few teeth filled (only had one previous cavity filled twenty years ago so I am not familiar with this procedure)--my teeth which were worked on are now very sensitive to cold and heat and painful.

How long does this pain last and when should I expect the pain from heat and cold to stop?

I am 65 tomorrow and of late I have real trouble remember things unless I write them down. Otherwise, I most think about whatever i am doing at the moment, interrupted by things like hungar and a telephone call. Not like i used to me, juggling 100 things at time. Now i have the opposite of ADD, learning long complex and new things are instantly rejected. Kind'a like my cat. I have just discovered that with a stop watch that i can be tested for severity. I cannot remember to check on it and remember what i was thinking until i happen to look at again. I reset repeatedly. Cannot remember what i told myself to remember five minutes ago. Comment Please. Not about me specifically. Just my question about the meaning of my new stop watch idea. What does that tell me or what does it tell you? Thank you for reading the whole question.

I think I have ADD. What should I do? I have thought it for awhile, im 18 and a senior in high school. My friend let me "try" one of her Adderall medications and it actually helped me out so much. It really calmed me down and I wasn't always so anxious and it helped with concentration, etc. But with how much the drug is abused, I can't just tell my parents I tried it, they'll think I'm a drug addict. How should I tell my parents?

If anything that isn't in a pattern happens to me, it causes me to burst into tears, then I have to press all 10 of my fingers together for 10 seconds. I am also overly obsessive about capitalizing even in IM. I don't want to talk to a doctor, or get meds. Is there anything that I can do to get myself better, without any outside help?

I don't go to the doctor that much, maybe twice a year, and just went to the doctor today to discuss getting a prescription for Provigil.
For a myriad of reasons Including shift work) I am not getting adequate sleep and don't forsee getting adequate sleep in the near future. To combat the exteme fatigue I am experiencing during the day, I am consuming copious amount of caffiene. That is starting to have a negative effect on me. Headaches and stomach issues, mostly. I approached my doctor ( a gp) who treats my migraines, about Provigil. She told me she wasn't very familiar with its applications and wasn't comfortable with prescribing it.
I would like the opportunity to at least try this prescription and see if it is something that works for me. She didn't really have any medical reasons why she wouldn't prescibe it other than the fact that she wasn't very familiar with it.

How do I find a doctor that is knowledgable and would be willing to discuss this drug????

I was not seeking anyone's advice on my treatment. I meant it write a strictly objective question for a strictly object answer. Next time i will try harder. One thing answerers have not mentioned is what has become of the term "psycho analyst?" I once believed that meant they had to be a pyschirist. A common term in my day.

Interested if any uses the word "psycho analyst" anymore? Is that just passe?

It is the same with all the primary care doctors; they go by so many "names" now. The shingle out from keeps changing. They call themselves internists or family doctor, and all have dropped the GP name. I suspect it being economic and marketing reasons behind that. Please discuss.

Thanks for bothering to read my entire question. Most answers refuse to do that.
