22 year old male, pack a day smoker. Born with mild heart murmur but grew out of by age five. No symptoms of heart attack or angina. Pain is not associated with excercise or eating. Pain I would describe as an ache, not sharp without feeling of pressure. Occurs axp 4 -5 times per week over the past 5 weeks. No changes in lifestyle, diet, exercise or meds. Currently no medications, low activity level. So... I think I've ruled out all the first things that come to mind. I am confident it is originating in my heart, not surrounding tissues. I am perplexed, help?

I have tried nearly every antidepressant there is over the course of 7 years. When I first tried them they did wonders for my depression and anxiety. But the problem was that they all had side effects that were hard to live with. So I went from medication to medication with the hope of finding one that was effective AND had mild side effects. When I finally realized that no such antidepressant exists, I quit taking them. Then, about 8 months later, I realized that life was unbearable with my anxiety disorders and depression, and so I decided to go back to an antidepressant and just deal with the side effects. But, guess what? When I went back on Paxil (and loaded it in my system for 6 weeks) the effects were not even close to before! And this has happened with ALL antidepressants I've tried since!!! What happened? I can understand becoming immune or resistant to one medication, or even one whole class of medications (e.g., SSRI's), but ALL antidepressants? How can this be possible?!!

In fact, the entire battery of tests (thryoid, liver, kidney functions) were great. He gave me a test kit and 3 wks of blood tests average 110 (152 highest after eating ice cream/88 lowest). Yet, glucose urine test strips still occasionally show sugar in urine. I started out with some suspected diabetic symptoms (dry mouth/thirst/frequent urination) but they went away after one week. I'm schedule for a Glucose Tolerance Test this week. I am a 44/F 135lbs non-smoking, very healthy diet, etc.. Any ideas what's up?

I'm a 43 year old female and lately I've been concerned that I'm showing signs of MS. I'm in the right age group and all that stuff. I'm really healthy otherwise. I take vitamins daily and don't drink or smoke. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with their toenails, or does anyone know if it's a sign of something more serious. God forbid, MS! Thanks for your input!
