I've recently been diagnosed with 'mixed' Bipolar Disorder and have been advised to take Lithium long term. I've been given 2 weeks to decide if I want to try the treatment or not. My family is very concerned as they think they will 'loose' their daughter. They have heard many stories of how Lithium can have a zombie effect on the patient and they end up loosing the sparkly bits about their personality that everyone loves. My pyschiatrist says if it happens it happens...(not very helpful!) Obviously everyone reacts differently to medication but is there anyone out there who has tried it and found it helpful? Did you turn into a zombie??

All of his real friends have left him, one of his closest friends had cancer and he didnt even call him.. Hes left with a bunch of friends who are all using him and do drugs with him. They also talk behind his back and make fun of him
Is there any hope for someone like this? He doesnt even talk to me anymore.

She will always has a stamachache first then she will has to go to the toilet. I'm wondering if its got to do with the daily supplyments since she has been taking a year ago, they are organic vegetable multivitamin, omega 3 salmon oil & vitamin C . She used to have bowel movement every 2-3 days before taking these supplements.

It actually got worst today when she fainted in school after having stamachache & then pass motion all over herself (can this happen to people who fainted?)

hope someone with medical knowledge can enlighten me on this matter & if i should take her for a medical check up?

I was diagnosed with a DVT blood clot in august and have been in therapeutic range since. I know that you are not supposed to have more thantwo drinks as alcohol is a blood thinner and will thin the blood too much. I took five days off of the coumadin for a dental procedure and was just fine. Would it be ok to skip one day to enjoy myself at a wedding since alcohol is a natural blood thinner? I know I should NOT do it but think I would be ok?

i am 15 years old and i have a lazy eye. i have had 2 operations done on it so far. (one at the age of 10, and one at the age of 12) my eyes were fine after the operations but just last year my eye became crossed again and people started to notice it alot. i was wondering if i can still get an operation to get it fixed or if theres another way for me to cover it up.

I know the initial impression is to consider this question as redundant but those of you who smoke would know the importance of the question. Do you guys know any research results on this issue? Thanks.

but he is still coherent enough to be offended by the suggestion. It is far enough advanced to pose a real problem and challenge in everyones lives but unless he is diagnosed we are not eligible for any assistance. How do we get him to be assessed, how do we approach it? Do we wait till he is so far gone that he gives no resistance?

I found one swollen lymph node behined my ear, it's soft, and painless to the touch(or even to press) Although I heared that a swollen,painless lymph node is a sign for cancer( even though I don't have any possible symptoms for cancer) It has been around for two weeks and I'm getting scared. What is the likelyhood of it being cancer growing?

My right leg(thigh) is aching really bad and on the inner side of the knee just a little up on the right side (where you bend your leg), there is a slight lump and slight discoloration and tender. And today I didn't do much except stand all day, I found a bruise in that area. Also, it hurts in that area and up towards the middle top of the leg. There is no swelling. This has been going on for three months now. I have a doctors appointment comming up but just trying to find out what is wrong - curious. Please help?

Hi there. I have had a pilonidal abcess for over 9 years now. I know i need to have it surgically removed because it keeps getting worse. Just wondering if anyone out there with the same problem also experiences dizziness and serious bouts of fatigue. I think it's all related. thank you so much!

Sometimes when I burp it tastes and smells like vomit but nothing comes up. Sometimes I get stomach cramps too and loose bowel movements if not diahorea. If its serious then I get a bad case of extreme sickness that doesnt last more than 20 mins then it passes. Its horrible and I want to know what it happens. When I was little if my parents said im getting smacked when i get home because I made them mad then I would get this feeling with the vomit smelling burps and guaranteed I would be sick in the middle of the night. Normally I dont vomit anymore but its horrible and im scaring my hubby away haha.

thanks in advance
