Health - 3 November 2007

I've had Irritable Bowel Syndrome for 14 yrs (diagnosed at 14) Recently in the past 6-12mths i've had increasing stomach pain/nausea. More recently in the past 2 months i've rarely had a bowel movement (i'm down to once a wk) That is highly unusual as i'm known to have many a day from the IBS. I genenrally cannot go somewhere without a bathroom being available at anytime, yet more recently its been when the time hits, I need to be on the toilet right then or there or there will be an "accident" These bowel movements i'm having now suddenly hit with extreme cramping followed by like an hr long session of being on the toilet, usually ending with a small muscousy amount of pink tinged blood. My dr seems to blame everything on IBS and tells me I just need to learn to live with it, but i'm at my limit, I just can't take this feeling anymore.
Please help with any advice, and sorry if I was too blunt in detail.

It's been like this for a few months.

I can't have a decent conversation with anybody.
I don't really like to hang out with friends anymore.
I hate it when ppl ask me questions about my life.
Since I'm not really hanging out with my friends, I've been starting to lose them.
I've lost weight and lost apetite.
I'm at home on the computer all day, isolated from everything.
I don't enjoy video games anymore, or socializing.
Whenever I talk to someone, it always ends 5 seconds later with an awkward silence.
I feel empty inside like nothing is inside.
nobody at school is funny. When someone does something funny, the whole class laughs, but I don't.
I don't remember the last time I was happy.
Nothing makes me happy anymore.
I pretend to be happy and put on a fake "mask" when I am around people.
Living seems pointless.

I asked my mom to bring me to the doctor about it but she just she said it's not bad enough. I just don't act the way I feel around her.

I am 5'9" and 190lbs. I want to put some muscles (already have some, but they aren't like Goku's in Dragonball Z). I am starting off slowly with 4 minutes of Timework FX and 4 minutes of AB King Pro. How long should I continue at this level? What should my future workouts be like? Need some good advice. Thanks.

Back when I was a kid I was working on my bike and I knew I needed oil to lubricate my bike chain. I was around 8-12 years old. Then I climb this table to get the oil and my shirt got stuck on the nail of the cubboard door. The thing was so old that it fell down and the weight of that pulled me down. After that I had hit my head on the solid garage floor on my left side of my head. During that experience I felt very dizzy, off balance, it was so painful I felt like crying, and blurred vision. I then went upstairs and went to sleep cause I felt really sleepy. The next morning I woke up with a fever and a terrible headache. My eyes became sensitive to light and I had pains in my eye whenever I looked around. Can someone tell me about this? What doctor I should see and what tests are involved? I am typing this message now because back then I am 21 now, but back then I was scared, but it could be the cause of my learning disorders.

I'm 13 and it seems impossible to lose weight! I've been doing loads of exercise (jump rope, dancing, daily sit ups/crunches) but I never lose weight. I'm really starting to doubt that I can lose even a pound.

It does'nt matter what I'm eating either. It happens every single time I eat. I've had my Gall Bladder out. I take antacid pills daily. This has been going on now for about a month. Any ideas? I would love to know. I do have a very bad back and I have Fibromyalgia, so I don't know if any of that plays into it.

I had my regular period on the 19th of Oct, and went the usual 3 days, but then on the 2nd of November, I started again. I'm 18, and I've been having my periods since I was 16 and for the last 10 months it's been like clockwork every 28 days until now. Any idea what's going on ?

i have heard this is like deadly! i have only had my period for about a year and a half. i always used pads until the period i am on currently actually. this whole time i have just been using tampons except for when i'm sleeping. i'm scared that i'll get TSS from only using tampons!! Will it help if i just use tampons when the flow is heavy and then use pads towards the end when its light? cause i hate pads now that i started using tampons, they're so much more comfortable and you feel like you're not even on your period, its great! But i dont want to get TSS. How do i make sure i dont get it but at the same time still be able to stick to tampons?

It is TOTALLY wrong! I hate the feeling!

to make it worse there is a guy who wants to have sex with me (he is 13 though he looks like he is 16). He told his best friend who told me. no its not a rumor because his best friend happens to be my best friend and he has never lied to me about anything that serious.

Is this wrong? Am I sick? What is wrong with me?!?

in school i was always made fun of for being the "jew," at my dad's i was constantly rideculed and yelled at, making for a very bad situation. i can remember times i wasn't picked for sports until last just because they din't think I would be good. Now in college, I have very low self esteem. I got involved with the wrong crowd in high school, and did poorly in school as well, getting me into a very crummy college I am currently unhappy at. What should I do? I lack motivation, but I am doing much better in school, thankfully. I want to exercise, but never get around to it, I'd rather sit around.

In the past, sometimes when I wipe, I find blood. However, lately the toilet's been full of blood after I go. I'm scared and am wondering what it could be. I don't mean to be so graphic. I'm sorry.

Topic, i am 19 now and wonder if i stunted my growth back then, because i stopped growing at about 5'8 inches tall and my dad is 5'10, mom is 5'2..........i used to just try to find out what my max bench was, doing like 110 pounds (i dont remember how much i weighed back then, but it was impressive to my friends)....so do i have to live with this, or is my final height just natural?
