Health - 15 November 2007

Ihave been with this guy off and on for over a year... we dated for 6 months, broke up for 3, and been dating for about 5 again but it seems like its going down hill again. mostly because of his mood swings. He was diagnosed with depression years ago but I really think he has signs of bipolar disorder even though he has never been diagnosed with that, he experiences mood swings occasionally. Usually he's happy, cheerful, funny, wierd, and goofy, but he gets in moods (that can last anywhere from like a week up to 3 or 4 months) where he's depressed and isolates everyone from himself, only to snap out of it later and apologize and swear to never do it again.
I've tried bringing this to his attention but he barely acknowledges it (when hes in the depressed moods), but he apologizes and says it wont happen again when hes in a good mood.
I love him more than anyone and want to be there for him, but how do I deal with times when he gets so depressed and sad and pushes everyone away?

And I feel like coughing a few times. After that I'm fine again. This happens mostly when I ate in a rush or the food was especially hot or spicy. What causes this?

I have a question, it is about pimples ....... Not like on the face but down there. How do you treat pimple like things down there.. its really gross.... cause sometimes they burst. Is this normal? Is there anything I should take or ask the doctor to check them out? I would ask my mother but I am afraid I can't. Another thing is I asked a simlar question about the one I am about to ask... but I have more info to ask on the same question. My other question is about a smell I don't smell but my dad does smell. He told me it smells of fishy oder. I first thought it was just discharge but the discharge is a long with it. I have it all the time and it gathers in my panties... I have had my period for 4 years and it just became regular last month. Also down its seems a bit flared up and it iches along with the pimple like things. What should I do? Also I went to my doc about 6 monthes ago and she told me it wasn't a yeast infection.. could she be wrong? Thanks ever so much!

Alright, I just recently got news that one of my friends, one of my friends, was diagnosed yesterday with leukemia. He was one of my most trusted friends, and I was surprised to hear that he had leukemia. But fortunately, it was diagnosed early, so they're bringing him to St. Jude's in Tennessee. I hope he and his family stay strong and get through this fine. I'm pretty sure about this, but I want to confirm this.

Is leukemia treatable and curable if diagnosed early enough?

I always get bruises that I have no idea where they come from. Sometimes they are small and really dark colored(usually deep purple and blue) and other times i just get a light yellowish green bruise that is a little bigger. Many of them last a really long time.
does this have anything to do with poor circulation or even anemia?

I am diabetic. I have been taking colloidal silver and wormwood tea and honey.... along with some Amoxicillin since yesterday but have not felt any better. at least i don't feel feverish, though..
The pain is in my right lower side in my back but even my lower right side in front is painful and I am nauseated...which leads me to think my gall bladder is also acting up.
I have no medical insurance and am unemployed right now, so I don't want to go to a dr.

I know there are some foods out there that aids the cold. For example, chicken broth soup. It thins out the mucus and some other things that I forget. What shouldn't I eat?

Right now, my sinus feels pressured, I have a stuffy nose, and my throat feels sore. It only started today. I know that eating medicine is probably the best way, but I still want to know...
Help please? Any would be greatly appreciated!! (>++)>

past three years. It's not in one particular place, I have it mostly on the left side, and the middle, and sometimes radiates to the right side. Everytime I go to the doctor they say everythings fine which includes: the heart, lungs, breathing, etc. I always have trouble breathing when the chest pain occurs. The pain has gradually gotten worse, both in the amount of occurences, and the intensity on a scale of 1 to 10 ten being the most severe I would rate the pain as an 8 or 9. When I was around 13 or 14 years old a speacialst had sent me to a pediatric cardiologist to see if I could take some medicine. While there I had an EKG done, and the results said that one side of the heart is slower than the other and I think that's my right side, and that a normal heartbeat beats in the following order chamber 1, 2, 3, and 4. Finally, in August of 2006 when I was 17 years old I had experienced all the signs of a heart attack my dad had said that I was having one, it didn't seem like it. Help.

I guess I’ve twisted my ankle. I was walking down the steps at the university’s library Tuesday night and neglected to notice that last step, so I sort of toppled down the last few stairs. My ankle swelled up immediately, and I have a nasty bruise. I didn’t get to put ice on it for four or five hours, since I had a group project to work on. So, I walked a half- mile to my car and drove home on it (it’s my right ankle and it takes me half an hour to get home), which I think was a bad idea. I also have done some walking around campus over the last two days, going to work and classes and such. I have been icing it once or twice a day and wearing an ace bandage, and during the day there isn’t too much pain. The pain is at the top of the ankle. I seem to have almost full range of motion. (And I know I’m not supposed to limp.) So, my question is, is this sprain very severe? When can I return to running and jump-roping to work out? Can I ride my horses? When I ride horses, I need to put my heels down. Also, my horses are young and require a lot of walking around on the ground (for me) when I’m exercising them before I ride. Are the horses a bad idea? I don’t want to do any damage. I’ve never sprained an ankle before and I don’t want it to become a chronic problem.

I have had a sore stiff neck now for 3 months, I have tried heat and it relieves soreness for a few minutes or so than it goes back to the way it was. I usually sleep on my back with my neck supported through the night, when I sleep on my side or my back (which has always been my preferred way to sleep) I wake up in a lot of pain and a lot of stiffness in my neck and shoulders. so I sleep on my back so that I wake up and I have at least 3 hours of feeling good. But than my neck and shoulders are sore all over again. somedays there is more pain and soreness than other days, the pain goes from my head (near my ear, mostly on my right side) all the way down to my left shoulder blade than toward my right mid-upper arm. I have tried aleve, naphroxen and even advil and tylenol nothing seems to work. does anyone have any suggestions?

Have you ever used the Teeter F5000 inversion table?Is it worth $300? I need advice.I am 16 yrs. old and I have managed to save up about $400 of allowance.This is a stressful decision to make considering I don't have a job so large amounts of money are hard to come by.Jobs are too in my small town especially during school time.So should I spend $300 on this specific inversion table.Either way I have to get one because I want to grow taller and I am a female and being sixteen I don't have forever to increase my height so I need to make a hasty but wise decision.

My wife had cancer back in 1999, surgery, chemo radiation, more surgery. Fought depression, booze and pills. I hung in there for my daughter 4 at the time 12 now. Wife continually acuses me of all manner of untrue stuff, takes a huge list of pills then just told me that back a few years she "got physical" with some one else. I am trying to hang in there but really can't see the light at the end of the tunnel anymore.

Should I go?
