Health - 15 October 2007

Today I was talking to my son and I noticed that his pupils were reddish black...like a reflection of red. I'm not sure exactly how to explain it. I'm just curious if this is normal or if I need to talk to the doctor.

I may be over reacting, I've just never noticed it on anyone else, but it may have just been the way the light was reflecting...
Thanks

I am doing relatively well in school, and in a friends with benefits type relationship, but I seem to be moving nowhere. I am not happy with anything, and I dont' really know how to get that way. Transferring schools is not really reality, since I am attending the best school for my major, but I feel suffocated and not myself this year. I feel like i have so much I want to do with my life, but I don't know how to get from Point A to Point B. How do you fix your life when you are ready to give up on it? When will happiness find me?

i was at a hotel and was sleeping. (im a very heavy sleeper)
housekeepers came in and I didnt wake up, so they thought something was wrong with me, so they called ambulance. But before they came, I woke up, got the call from the front desk and said I was totally fine and there was no need for any emergency call. But they came in anyway...but of course I didn't need to go to hospital. and now I got the bill.. i guess we were in the middle of changing health insurance so they're not paying. Should I pay the ambulance bill or should the hotel?

OK so I'm really really obsessed with chocolate. My mom never buys me chocolate because I can't stop eating it. I manage to get it through eating chocolate chip cookies and chocolate ice cream and buying chocolate from vending machines. Most of the nutrition I get during the day is from sweets. For example today I tried to eat as little sweets as I could by substituting it with 3 apples and 1 peach but I still ended up eating:

3 mini bags of cookies
3 kitkats
ice cream
1 bowl cinnamon toast crunch
1 bowl cauliflower and bread
1 sandwich


its making me really frustrated, that i can't stop eating, because it ruins the fruits of my labor. Today I ran a mile and came back and ate a whole bunch of cookies. I'm not fat or anything but if I continue with this eating habit I'll probably never get toned, plus I don't like the idea of eating unnecessary junk. How can I stop??

Ever since guys started taking notice of girls I've been receiving insults, every single day, whether its joking or seriously, i take all insults seriously. There is never a day that goes by that i don't hear an insult. I've noticed I've gotten more and more negative towards myself, but how can i improve if the people around me don't care about my feelings? Guys are always telling me how ugly i am, in fact a guy just told me that no way ever in history will a guy think I'm pretty. But get this, the same guys that insult me are always telling me I need more confidence, do they not realize they're the main cause of my low self esteem?? I'm tired of being insulted so much, I'm sick and tired of it ! My rents don't even know I feel this way, but I don't think its enough to worry them, or is it? How can I make people listen and care how I feel? How can i make them understand that insults cut me deep? I really can't take it anymore !!!

My doctor told me it was not a good mix probably. Another doctor said to try it. I am talking about prescription Adapex--not sure how to spell it. Have you taken that or any other type of diet pill while on your meds? I take Abilify, Clonopin and Lamictal.

Ok when i drink a carbonated drink, the top of my throat starts to like, i don't really know how to really explain it but, like it starts to itch, irritate, burn. But it is only suddenly and as soon as 5 seconds pass away, the feeling goes away.

Because of this I stopped drinking anything that is carbonated like, Pepsi, Coka, RC, Sprite, etc. I drink them only at parties, so my family and friends don't really think of me differently 'cause a 13 year old doesn't like soda.

I really would like to enjoin soda/ carbonated drinks, but i don't like when it irritates my throat. What is it and what should i do?

I drink plenty of water BTW

im a guy also

I have had braces since February 2006. Now, I had spacing between my teeth, but never an overbite. A long while back they told me to wear rubberbands and I wore them for a while. But, I haven't alot lately. Now, I have an overbite!! Is this caused by that or is this just the process of my teeth moving? I never had an overbite before.

If yes, are you okay with it or do you find it to be a depressing environment?
Are you outgoing or reserved?
Are you a talker or a listener?
Do you like small talk or lengthy worthwhile one on one conversations?
Anything else related you'd like to share?
