can you get ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) after an accident? I have been having trouble focusing and concentrating in school lately. Like i will just space out and not pay attention. Or don't feel like doing anything, I just sit there. I was in a pretty severe accident last january. I was hit by a car, and had a blod clot in my brain. So i had surgery to get it removed. I struggled with homework and things after the accident, but I told the doctor that I am doing okay now. but now im starting to realize that although I feel fine, i'm not sure my learning capabilites are normal because I can't focus. I don't know if I am just lazy and trying to find an excuse, or if this is actually a problem that i need to get help with? someone help please!

my sister has struggled with depression for a long time, but over the last five years since her divorce she has worsened, she has two great daughters aged 16 and 13 who live with her, she was diagnosed as clinically depressed at the start of this year,she used to work, although she was constantly changing jobs mainly because she would get very low and not work for several weeks, she usually blamed it on the current job and would find another.
she has not worked at all this year, (she is definatly not fit for work )and has been prescribed stronger tablets.
i must add she is not lazy or a sponger and prior to her being diagnosed as clinicly depressed she was a decent hard working mum.
her ex helps out as much as he can, (pays mortgage&girls upkeep)
the big problem now of course is paying her bills, she seems to have gone down every avenue to get some finantial help but hits a brick wall every time, this just adds to her illness, what can she do?

I am a graduate student with years of educational experience in clinical anatomy and physiology, and I do not see the basis for these chiropractic theories. It needs clarification

I have never had nosebleeds until a few weeks ago. I have had 3 of them. The first 2, I stopped within 15 minutes. This last one was BAD! I couldn't get it to stop at all. I went to the ER and they could barely stop it. Not to gross anybody out, but the bleeding was very, very heavy, and I had huge clots coming out when I blew my nose. The ER doc packed my nose with a splint and gauzish/tampon like things. I went to an ENT the next day and have to keep this nose pack in for a few days..

Has anybody had this happen? What was the cause?

I am 19, I have a very high fiber diet, heaps of fresh fruit, veges, wholegrains and at least 3lt of water a day yet i'm still not 'regular', I also have very very weak nails, they are like rice paper, they show each level of growth lifting up. I'm very sensitive to hot and cold aswell-I can't eat or hold things as hot as most people and am easily irritated by coldness on my skin. what could be wrong with me, could these be related?

I've had a very difficult year; i had attempted suicide at the end of my junior year and underwent therapy treatment where i was diagnosed with depression and an eating disorder. Right now i'm in my senior year and i'm at a plateau where i am neither sick nor getting any better. i'm deciding on whether or not fasting will help any. I know that i have fasted before in an effort to lose weight but this time i'm hoping to go about it in a more spiritual manner. I want to feel more in tune with my body before i continue with my treatment plan. I've allready had alot of progress with my depression but i still have to work on my ED. I hope to find a center, a balance, so that i may find more strength and fight off any relapses.

does that make any sense? i'd love some feedback, hell even someone to fast with and keep me centered, because i know i can't do this alone. MUCH ADVICE NEEDED!
Thank you.

There's a friend of mine that's been getting nerve pain(sharp pain that makes her scream out loud) in her left arm(no chest pain) and she thinks it's from drinking yerba mate tea for several weeks. I love her a lot because she's my mom. I keep telling her to go to the doctor. She said they won't do a thing about her. What to do? What does this pain mean?

i dont ever want to go out anymore because im scared i might hurt someone, when people walk past me even tho i dont know them just looking at them is enough to seriously anger me, even random things like lamposts and stuff, i plus im getting into a lot of trouble because i literally cant go out during the day anymore, i feel open and exposed and everyone just seems annoying, when i hear ppl laugh i sometimes think its at me, ive lost interest in friends, girlfriends ... i dont want to do anything anymore... ppl tell me to seek "pro help" but i hate them more than anything. plus i have a bad way of dealing with the stress that have ended up with a few trips to the hospital ... ive stopped all my hobbies, i dont see the point in it anymore and i literally cant tell anyone about it because i just wont, i feel like im cornered, even if i wanted to live what the hell is worth living for. pain is the only thing that you ever get in life, and all pleasure is is pain in disguise

I'm just curious cause it felt like a lot of pressure was being used when probing my teeth, and i have this feeling like a metal pick shoved into a tooth would damage the enamel. Obviously I'm not a dentist but it doesn't feel right.

Recently I have had a lot of Stress to cope with which has increased my Blood Pressure. I have been taking Renitec 20mg for 7 years and it has kept my blood pressure in check and I have been fine on this but recently it has risen again even though I am still on on this medication. I have been told that Vitamin B and C or Garlic will help lower Blood Pressure. Can you please tell me if this is right. Thanks.

My friend ask me to put this question to people who might actually know something about this. She is a 5'4" thin woman.
Her right breast is about 1/2 an inch lower than the left. Her
nipple is that much lower than the other nipple. I never knew this, and it doesn't show with her bra on. In her nightie it does.
She doesn't have nor make much money. The question is , is
there a surgery for this or what could she do? She just has work insurance and it doesn't cover cosmetic surgery.
