Health - 11 October 2007

I've so far tried St. Johns wart, 5-htp, kava, sam -e, valerian root, and gaba...not all at the same time, of course, but taken as directed. None of these have helped me much in calming my nerves. Is there anything else I can try? Please help!

Thanks so much!

I'm completely flat chested. I mean literally flat. I tried on a 32 AA bra and I couldn't even fill that. Everybody says that I'll develop eventually, but I just don't. I'm 16 already, I think if I was going to develop it at least would have started by now. Even my little sister is an A cup and she's 13. What's wrong with me?

Lots of questions crop up from people who are suffering depression - nasty illness to have granted, but...

...I've noticed that many of these questions get answered by people who are also suffering with depression, and it would seem that any question asked by someone with depression is answered with even more stories of many other's depression!

So would you think (if you were depressed) that, your depression would be made better or worse by more people telling you about how depressed they were also?




At risk of a "let's have all the depressed people in one room and see if they improve?" philosophy?


Seriously curious about this one - cheers guys!

I have been going through depression for a while now; I got up the courage to go to a doctor and talk about it. He gave me a prescription for an anti-depressant called Lovan. I read some information about it and some side effects which are changes in vision, tremors, dizziness, dry mouth etc. It has me scared; I do want to get better but I don’t know if these drugs are the answer.

I just want to know are there any people out there who have tried herbal remedies or natural drugs that have worked for them?

A few months ago I noticed that I had a mini testicle (about 1/4 the size of a normal one) attached to my left testicle. I really don't want to go to a doctor, I haven't been to one in years, so it would be very embarrassing to have someone see me naked when I've just gone through puberty. I want to see if any of you guys can help me since I'm freaking out. What can this be? It doesn't hurt at all and It feels like I have 2 testicles. I was researching this a bit and I found out it might be a "cyst" or something...can someone please help?

Does coffee give you excessive diarrhea? I love my morning cup a joe, but the last few years it sends me running for the toilet at least 3 or 4 times!! I tried not using milk or sugar, but still got the runs. I can't let go of my morning joe! Conversely, other caffeinated drinks don't do this to me, like coke or red bull. What's up?? I've had a colonoscopy, and DREAD ever having to do that again. I fear talking to my doc about it, since I think he'll suggest another colonoscopy. YUCK. I woke up during the last one and cursed everyone in the room out. They were shocked!!! I mean, you're NOT supposed to come out of the twilight sleep. Leave it to me....lol. So what can I drink besides coffee for an early morning jolt that's hot and sweet?

I realize alot of this needs to be gone over with the surgeon performing the implant, if I decide to go this route.

Back history. Broke one front tooth, fractured the other when I was 11. Had crowns put in. Fast forward 10 years, the tooth that had broken initially re-broke underneath the crown, my dentist says he thinks it failed due to microfractures from the impact of the original break. So we go over the options. He tells me that he couldn't gaurentee how long a post/crown would last due to my particular case (deep bite, bruxisim, condition of the remaining tooth). He grinds down the tooth to the gum line and removes some of the gutta percha to seat a temporary post/crown. The remaining tooth fractures.

I otherwise have a healthy jaw. A crown or a bridge isn't ideal in this situation, and I was too distraught after finding out that an implant is the best option.

What have been your experiences with implants? What kind of implant? What are the risks? What is the recovery time?

I have always had regular periods my entire life and after four children this is the third period since finishing nursing my daughter who is now 11 mos. I started my periods again back in August and everything was on par with what it normally would have been before having her. 6 days long, heavier than ever..but usual for me. Then September it came two days early but same as the month before-usual length and heaviness. Now this month Oct i got my period 2 days earlier than last month and it began as usual, heavy and full force cramps and all, then stopped two days into it, then started again full force the next day, then stopped again two days later, now a day later it was gone-and then went for a walk and came home to have to put on a pad again b/c I had soaked my panties.
I have a problem with my thyriods that is currently untreated, and am anemic. Could this just be my body getting used to reg periods or something more? Also i know I am not pregnant b/c protection was used.

Nothing in my life seems to be going in order right now. I currently go to college, doing ok in grades, good in health physically and financially. I don't know why... ever since I started dating I lost practically all of my friends. I feel like I became someone else... I can't connect with anyone anymore. I lost almost all of my self-esteem and confidence. I feel like people don't want to talk to me. Its hard to make conversation again and its very hard to make new friends. I always feel so depressed. Nobody wants to talk to a depressed person to drag them down...I see other people with friends and laughing, having conversations and a good time. I get jealous now... I used to have lots of friends and hang out all the time...

Being depressed is the worst thing and I don't want any meds. currently seeing councelor but seems like they don't understand.
