Health - 2 October 2007

I've had 2 doses and I'm incredibly fatigued and disinterested in food. I had chills last night and body aches this morning, but I might also be sick...

from today one may not purchase cigarettes unless one is 18 or over. Surely this should also apply to vegetables, as they are actually KNOWN to contain CARCINOGENS,whereas tobacco smoke has never been shown to contain any known carcinogen?

Let's say someone sleeps for 12 hours.. they set alarms right by their head, but are in such a deep sleep that they don't wake up. Let's also assume that they do not have mono, and are not sleeping out of laziness or boredom; they have a job, school and other obligations, but are dead tired when they get home and fall right asleep for half of a day. Are there other health problems that could cause such a long period of sleep?

Smokers pay extra taxes to fund any extra treatment they might require on the NHS.
Surely vegetarians should be treated in the same manner?

Im 13 turning 14 next Friday. I've had boobs for about a year and a half. My sister got her period when she was 11 and my mom got hers when she was 12 or 13. I've had discharge for about 6 or 7 months, but lately it has been heavier and before it was greenish now its clear and sticky. I do have tons of hair down there and in my armpits. Am I going to start my period soon? And please don't just say "soon", but if you could say "probably not for a couple more months" that would be great. Thanks

The last 6 months have been a bit of a nightmare for me. In June I got flooded and had to move out of my home and now I've broken my car by over filling it with oil. On top of that I'm looking to buy a house with my girlfriend and that's stressful enough. It's odd all the stressful things seem to happen at the same time isn't it?

I know I shouldn't complain and there are people a lot worse off than I am.

It's a nightmare - he stopped taking his full dose, and has started to relapse, and I have to nag him every day to take it - but I work and can't watch him all the time, and dread him having another psychotic episode (he is already mildly manic) - he won't see the mental health nurses and has been sectioned before because he lets it get too bad - I am at my wits end - what can I do to get him to take his meds?

I have always been really moody. After I dated someone who was bi-polar, I looked I to it and I have alot of the symptoms. I started seeing a psycologist and I told hr that i thought i was bi-polar and she said i am just depressed. She prescribed me to two different anti-depressant medications and neither had the least bit of an affect on me. I have Medicaid and I can't go see any psycolgist I want. I have a very stressful life for a 16 year old and its getting really hard to tolerate. Why should I do?

I have been taking zoloft for almost 2 months now for anxiety. I can not find my bottle of medicine. This is the second day I have not taken it. My eyes feel almost like they are heavy and I feel very sad(almost like when you are tired). Is it true if I make too much out of not taking it, it will be worse then if I think it's not that big of a problem? Should I call my doctor and would she be able to get me a new bottle of the prescription? I am totally embarassed that I lost it.

I have never had street drugs by needles, unprotected sex, and cannot figure out how I got Hep C. I did have a number of operations from 1983-present. I had active hep C in the 90's right after an operation. Never been so sick! I tried to call a hospital that I had been in , in the 80's to find out if I received blood but they had no record. How could I really find out how I got this. Does it always stay in the blood or does it go away. Thanks for your help.

For as long as I can remember, i have felt like I am never alone. I find myself talking out loud when no one is around because i feel like someone can hear me. I can't go to the bathroom without checking to make sure someone isn't in the shower, and i don't like to change my clothes; i will find ways to cover myself as i take my clothes off. Sometimes it is worse, sometimes better. I am fine in public and with other people, this is not a feeling that i am being judged. I thought this was normal for a while but it's really not. I am 22 years old. Please help.

I'm feeling really bad for her, but I can't help but think she's going to lose her mind and hurt herself after losing custody of the boys. She's obviously in need of some serious help, I don't understand why she doesn't go get some. She has all the money in the world, why won't she turn her life around?

I know someone who gets really angry and sometimes violent when he drinks too much alcohol. I am wondering if this is indicative of some mental problems he has, or if it is possible that he is perfectly healthy mentally if he stays off the alcohol. Does he need to see a doctor or is stopping drinking all that he needs to do?
