Diseases & Conditions - 9 October 2007

I have a problem with stammer and it’s really embarrassing and stressful for me. I only seem to have that problem with certain words or when I am talking in public, or when I talk to an stranger for the first time. The thing is that I just got a promotion to a management position, and I will be forced to speak in public a lot and also to perform job interviews. I think that people wont take me seriously if they hear me stammer and I am getting very self conscious and nervous about this. I was told to go to speech therapy, but I was wonder if any one out there has an advice or had the same problem that can give me some tips on what to do on my own. Thank you so much!

My 11 year old boy Ty (Chase_Phebes on YA) has a heart murmur and he has been checked yearly with an "echocardiograhm" this time though, they're worried about a prolasp of the right vent into the left vent, possibly.

Do you have any experiences?

He just wants to play football again but, he does suffer from "juvinile athritis in his knees but, we have the covered with pain meds you know?

Do they do heart transplants? (sigh) maybe, it'll all be ok, I'm so sorry if I seem to be seeking pity, I'm not, just curious as to what others have been through...

Love you all lots, sw33t dr3ams, Shad @)~>~

I'm not really sure how to explain this... Throughout the day I suffer from no involuntary movements. But, when I go to bed, they start. When I lay down, and this is the weird part, I start moving uncontrollably, trying to get my feet away from the end of the bed and ducking under the window or away from a curtain that isn't basically taped to the wall surrounding the window. I know that, for some reason, these uncontrollable spasms occur when my comforter isnt positioned just right in the space between the end of my bed and my bookshelf. That's with a mix of my OCD i guess. If the curtains arent taped to the wall, it will happen, as if to be sure nobody can see me. It also happens if I enter a room with a clearly elevated door. If I can see the light or lack thereof on the other side, I have to run behind a counter or in a corner so as if, if you were trying, you couldn't see me through the crack, where I then have spasms for a bit. What the hell's wrong with me?

I'm a 30 year old woman with a strong family history of breast cancer. I will be 4th generation. I had a historectomy last year. I can't take HRT, so she put me on progesterone. It helped w/ the mood swings, but that was it. Now she has taken me off of it. She is sending me to a charity clinic in Shreveport (I don't have insurence). I have no clue when they will be able to see me and I can't take the hot flashes, mood swings, and NO sexual drive. And neither can my husband. I need advice on what i can do!!!!

The nurse said that I must have cholesterol issues from genetics. The nurse told me to exercise but I have mono and I am not supose to do strenuous activites b/c of the risk of enlarging my liver and spleen. What can I do? I am kind of in a bad situation with health right now. I plan on going on a strick diet of fruits and vegtables with a lot of fish. Taking fiber pills and lots of vitamens. The nurse said if I don't lower my cholesterol within the next 3 months they are going to put me on meds for it... which I really do not want to do. So what should I do beyond dieting and strenous work outs to end this issue?

I have been vomiting all day--nothing left in my stomach so all that's coming out is bile. I also have lower back pain and stomach cramps, and most recently, frequent bowel movements with what appears to be bile in my stool. Anyone know what could cause this?

A friend of mine, whom I have confronted about his drug usage and he has denied it each time, recently broke out with a big sore on his face and one on his abdomen that had to be treated with antibiotics. He told me they were infected bug bites that had to be treated with antibiotics. I just found out that he told a few other people that the reason for the sores was because he had gotten ahold of a bad batch of some type of drug. I have had my fair share of experimentation, but have never heard of this happening. Can anyone help?
