even as im writing this , im feeling like i need to get up and do something . Im worried this may be serious . I cant sit still some times and i cant keep my mind on one thing . Like when i try to help my son with his homework , i really cant . Not because i dont want to , but because i cant think about one topic at a time . Its gotten worse as ive gotten older . I also cant watch tv without turning the tv up or down every minute or so ....

I also laugh for no reason sometimes . For example , my uncle died a few months ago and i went to his funeral . Well he was a nice guy and everything and i was sad that hes gone . But while the pastor was talking , i couldnt stop lauging because of the way he was talking . And i didnt want to laugh at all , but i just kept laughing and laughing , oh it was horrible ....Please is there something wrong with me .

I've always been kind of a shy person and I only need a few friends, plus I put all my energy into a couple of close friendships at a time, but lately one of my friends has been ticking me off a lot. I guess it might or might not pass over but I know it would be healthy for me to spend more time with other friends. I have a lot of friendly aquaintances but it's hard for me to know how to let people know I'd like to get together more. Sometimes I try a bit but a lot of people don't seem to have time and then I get frustrated and give up. Some people might think I'm boring because I never drink and I'm sort of brainy and nerdy, but I'm really a good listener. Often I want to hang around people who are a lot older but I think they make assumptions about me because of my age.

There is a pain in the ankle joint and on the top side of the feet. While walking or standing. After long walk the pain continues while sitting and in sleeping position also. Pain killers or foot massage helps a little, but since about 2 years the pain is there more or less. When there is pain there is also tightness felt at the bottom center part of the feet Two years back there has been an operation for removing the uterus and ovaries. Doctor assumes it to be dryness of muscles which makes the muscles less elastic. This causes pain. One week medication was prescribed which did not help much and some injections in the feet are suggested which I have avoided as they are steroids. What is the medical term for such a disease? Is there any other solution and are there any tests by which the diagnosis can be ascertained.

I know it would have to be from a very bad infection or bed sores but one particular person I heard about was infected in four to five areas of his body with maggots coming from all areas.Idon't think that his wounds were cleaned properly.I apologize to those who may easily be sick or offended.

My lip is bruised and busted. There are lacerations on the inner lip. The police officer said I should go see a doctor to reduce risk of infection but I really don't want to go. My face is a mess because my ex abused me recently. Please help. I've got a whole heaps of medical stuff in the kitchen cupboard. I don't need stitches... but what would help to reduce the risk of infection and make the swelling go down?

when he kisses me. I turn away sometimes and actually cannot hide my repulsion. The car stinks, his hair stinks, my house stinks. EVEN the dining room RIGHT after a meal. I mean I am not even done eating yet. It makes me want to get up and go to the bedroom and sometimes I have. WTF? I nag and seem like one. I yell and we BOTH feel bad. I insult and demean and it cannot be stopped. Is this a part of life I have to put up with? Aside from this revolting habit he is a perfect partner for me but this is so gross and it is killing him. I tell him, "What like you are the one out of 345,000 that is not going to get cancer from smoking?" He got a clear cancer report from the doc and went right back to smoking. WTF? Has anyone tried that new drug the one that the band member from Edie Brikell and the bohemians mixed with alcohol and supposedly died from? Paxil? There are good and terrible reports like hallucinations - that makes ME want to take it. Anyone have any experience in this?

One day I had to go to the bathroom, and as I was sitting on the abode, about to give shape to a poo, I noticed there was no toilet paper. When, to my avail, I spotted a package of T.P just outside my bathroom door. So, in a lazy effort to prepair for a clean dung, I decided to shimmy with my pants around my ankles towards the tissues, when I SLAMMED my pinkey toe, with a bit of a twist, into the door frame.

Instantly, I moaned. making my girlfriend believe I was having a pretty nasty crap. when in fact, my toe was aflame. instantly purple, and sharp with pain. and since then, it's been more of a strain on the toe then a pain. much alike the feeling of wanting to crack a finger or toe. and I've broken others and don't feel like waiting 7 or 8 hours at the hospital to get it x-rayed and have the doctors tell me theres nothing they can do.

or for that matter...is there a way to tell?
