I started taking Depakote a month ago with no side effects (500 mg daily). Last night I drank 4-5 beers while on the meds for the first time and my stool this morning was very soft, very pale, and had the consistency of ground peanuts. (sorry for the description) Should I be concerned now or should I wait a few days to see if it goes back to normal without drinking and remaining on the meds? I'm fine otherwise, no nausea, fever, stomach discomfort, jaundice, etc... but it did concern me.

My child actually ate half of a roasted cashew and had similar allergic reaction to peanuts. I also read today that cashew have a greater allergic affect than peanuts.

I have had a fatal allergy to all types of nuts since i was six years old & if i eat one i could possibly die. I have read in a magazine about a girl like me with a peanut allergy that kissed her boyfriend and died because traces of it was still in his mouth. I NEVER KISSED A BOY BEFORE & I'M 15! Should i be afraid of the consequences of kissing a boy because of this? And what should i do to get over my fear of kissing for this reason?

What do you usually do to get rid of pimples and acne?
The brand names of any products would help greatly.

I asked an old friend to kill me, he advised the best way was incineration. He doused me in oil and put a match to my right eyelash. I watched myself burn and prayed that I would die eventually. I enjoyed the pain, but felt I was too positive inside. I watched myself being burned, but it didn't reach the bottom of my thighs. I saw blood dripping from my arms and hands and stomach, there I noticed a few open stab wounds, that were open and I thought i must die because I was losing so much blood. I then found myself in a car park full of very expensive cars and I had to attend a meeting at a hospital, with my burns and wounds I was dancing around the car park waiting for the room to open. I founbd the wounds were closing and healing by themselves and the scars were not too bad. But inside felt that I could do it better next time.

My 4 year old daughter recently had her blood drawn and her doctor said that her count came back a little low at 3.8, she said it should be above 5. We will be going back in 3 weeks to have it retested. Could you tell me some possible reasons for this? The doc said she may be fighting a virus. What could be some other causes? Thanks!

Can anyone give me any feed back on using xanax for a medical procedure? My doc prescribed it because I am very anxious over a painful medical test I have to have. I was under the impression that xanax is usually for generalised anxiety disorder. I don't have generalised anxiety problems, its just over this one test. I had this test once before(without a sedative) and had a panic attack. I am supposed to take one .25mg pill 30 minutes prior and can repeat with a second dose if necessary. Any feedback on the meds would be appreciated.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago and very soon after we discovered that I had bone mets. I've been taking chemo and zometta for the mets, but this past spring, the latest scan revealed that it had gone to my liver, more bone (different part of body), and a lymph node in my chest cavity. I started chemo again and we did another scan - the good news, the lymph node is clear, but the bones and liver remain unchanged.

So my question is, how do I remain optimistic when everything I am reading about liver mets seems so negative. I know I will never be cured, but being NED would be very nice. I guess I just need some encouragement today. Thank-you to everyone who takes the time to answer my question!

I have them on the most random places on my body (mostly legs though), and I just don't want to be overrun by them! They're ugly. So what is the most effective way to 1. Get rid of or lessen the visibility of the ones I have? and 2. Prevent more? (I've heard drinking water helps prevent more, but I drink A LOT of water, and it doesn't do ****.)

For the last month I've had abdominal and stomach discomfort and some abdominal cramps (usually followed by trip to the bathroom). I've also hag light dizzy spells and weakness. Just last week I had a blood test - everything fine - and consulted with a MD, who found nothing. This morning while on the toilet I almost passed out, dizzy and weak. My stool by the way was on the soft side, but not diarrhea. Afterwards I had a sharp headache for a minute or two - now I'm okay. Tomorrow I'm going to a gastroenterologist, but I want your feedback too. What's up do you think is going on?
