Health - 19 October 2007

I'm curious about my friend's behavior and what probably caused it. I know for a fact that he didn't eat all day and had a few drinks because he was upset about relationship problems (not with me) but he didn't sound drunk. The funny thing was he kept forgetting what I had just told him, and at one point he said he didn't remember that I had already driven down the road I drove back on. Could that be caused by low blood sugar, or would it be more likely that he was stoned, or just a bit nuts? Normally he is a bit absent minded but a very smart person.

Do depression sufferers know they are depressed? I'm not talking about people who say they are depressed just for sympathy, but those truly suffering. How is true depression categorized/identified? What are the common procedures for dealing with depression?

This past Monday, I got my second shot in the series of 3, and I've developed a really hard painful bump around the site of injection. The bump is internal, just a little raised, and the area is a little redder than usual... Should I be worried? I didn't have any reaction to the first shot. My arm feels a little weak, but I've always had that after getting shots.

My legs always seem to be in pain.

Walking is not so bad, unless I walk for a long time. Then, I have a great deal of pain.

Standing is one place is not comfortable and gets painful.

Any one else?

Would a shot of steroids or muscle relaxant help?

Someone asked me a question and I heard it, but my brain didnt process the question until the 3rd time in a row they asked me. I learned an important lesson that day I need more sleep desperately...

if you did what did you use to get rid of it. I have it on my foot and it is so painful to walk. I have it for a long time already cuz first i thought that it was just a calluse,and i had it for a long time and then i found out that it was a wart. I started to take some medications right after, but it doesnt seem like its helping, well its says on the bottle that its supposed to get bigger first that cuz it is pushed from the inside, and thats how u see that it works, but I dont know it feels like its never gonna go away. Im so tired of it. so what did you use to get rid of it.

this is what my boyfriend. he is on depaoke 1000 mg and seroquil 400 mg klonapin 75 zoloft 50.i ask him if he hears voices anymore ( he did in High school)

-its not sumthing i deal with much, i take my meds pretty effectively.i havent heard like as violent stuff or as negative stuff......i still hear distracting noise& distortions
- i used to hear screams
-i do in bad episodes, if i flip out and scream and cry ill hear screams in my mind
-they havent been like that in a while
- ive really been better with that
-like ill just hear things that arent there
-like echos that dont exist
-at night, like talking, not clear voices, but background noise
- i would say once or twice a month i get them badly
- normally just a little sometimes two nights out of a week like im in a crowded room


his doctor said its about minimizing the effects of the disorder and benefiting the me without causing too many side effects of the medecine exact science.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?!

I have attempted suicide twice.
Once when i was 5 and i first saw passionate love on t.v.(when you like a person as your romace partner, wanna have kids wiv them,sex,wtc) and i was so scared that this would happen to me and i decided it did'nt wanna live in a world like this anymore so i drank perfume(i had watched a cartoon and i thought that the bottle was poison). I had to be taken to hospital the next day but was out in another day
Then when i was 11 i had to show the new kidd from japan around the school and i was anrgy that i always had to show ppl from other countries who moved here just beacuse i have lived in 7 different countries in my life and can speak various lingos and the kid(in japanese) kept calling me avergae and normal which made me run in front of a car but the car stopped, the driver yelled @ me and i went back into school. No1 saw or reported this.So have u ever attemopted/considered suicide. I consider suicide like 3 time sa yr but then change my mind l8r

Ladies, I know this sounds crazy, but I want a lower sex drive. My sex drive compared to my boyfriends is out of control. I can do it a few times a week, but him? Not so much. We haven't had sex in a month, and this has become the typical routine. Sex once every 4 or 5 weeks.
Generally after one session I'm set for a few days, but then I want it again, and when I don't get it I want it ALL the time. I hate having to try all the time, and I'm usually met with a "no." But my boyfriend means more to me than sex, so I want to know how I can lower my sex drive?

I've been to doctors for years and have still yet to figure out if I really have something wrong with me. I'm starting to feel a bit crazy or a hypochondriac. Anyway is there a certain way to explain your symptoms to a doctor, so they will take you more serious?

For years I have TMJ, a herniated disk in my lower back and the disk in my knee is detracting as well. Not only this I have "points" on my body places if they are touch cause extreme discomfort - like a big bruise or have sharp random pains. Sternum, Collarbones, Ribs, Lower back near tail bone, hips, sides of upper Thighs, sides of upper arms, either sides of my neck. This is also combined with extreme fatigue. Lately I have been sweating at night while I sleep. Anyway just not sure what else to do or to tell the doctors to have them help me. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

hello, i need some kind of opinions. I apologize for being graphic but i can't explain it any other way. I have a hard time going to the bathroom to poop. I don't poop at all in about 3 days but when i do, the actual poop is big enough that it tears the anus as it comes out. (sorry, i know this sounds nasty) i know i tear because it hurts so bad and blood comes out. What can i do to relieve this. is there something i can eat to make me go more often or something i can take (medicine, pills, anything)? i appreciate your help. thanks!

how will these medicines react with one another and what side effects will they cause.

2007-10-19 17:11:32 · 6 answers · asked by sambo 1 in Mental Health

has been this way ever since. I hate it. My dermatologist said it is most likely due to Reynaud's Phemonemon. My hands are also very red/purple.

I have tried creams and multiple different types of laser treatments. Do you think actual surgery could be used to tamper with the many blood vessels that are so close to my face?

I do not know what else to do and I hate it... could a plastic surgeon possibly clear this redness from my face?

Also, would something like blood thinner work?

Advice from people that know what they are talking about would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
