I was just wondering if i need to go see my gp,i`ve alot going on in my life just now and feel really down all the time,if it wasn`t for my son i probably wouldn`t get out of my bed in the morning.

My bf walked out on me and our son almost 3 weeks ago for the 2nd time and i know he isn`t coming back and i don`t think i can handle all this again,my son has learning difficulties and i`m waiting to get him assessed,he`s 4 but has the speech of a 15 month old child.I feel really anxious about being single again,i`m only 24 and i`m now a single mum,i`ve never been with anyone except my ex.My confidence and self esteem are now at rock bottom,i just feel as though my world has collapsed round my ears again and don`t know how to make myself feel normal and happy again.It feels as though my world has stopped while every1 elses including my ex`s is unaffected,how do i know if i should go to my doctor?I don`t really feel suicidal or anything like that just really sad and anxious,thanx.

Pepsi or Coke?

How many a day do you drink? Have you tried to quit? How many years have you been drinking your soda? Are you diabetic?

My mother-in-law is in her 70s and in fairly good health, but the problem is her insurance. She never worked in this country, and will not be eligible for medicare/medical/medicaid for 5 years (due to green card/residency issues). She currently is a member of Kaiser, but due to her age is considered a ''high risk'' patient, and her monthly premium has now gone up to $700 per month. This gives her basic Kaiser care, with co-pays for visits and prescriptions. After consulting a healthcare advocacy group who does comparisons of plans for people, their suggestion was to drop her healthcare completely and save the money. I feel this would be disastrous if something really bad were to happen to her (accident, etc.) and would like to try to present her with other options. Does anyone know of a group that is accepting members for health insurance that has good rates? (any group of people large enough can get a group plan through major insurers) Any advice welcome!

Do you ever get something new and when you take it out of its packet, you feel the need to smell it? This goes for anything from new books, a new sponge, a new mobile phone, new clothes, new running shoes, new packet of food, a new beachball ect.the list goes on! Any other suggestions of things you like to smell? Please don't say I'm alone! :o)

a couple of months ago I have been doing this eye sexersize that said look to the veryyy left of you without turning your eyes just the head, I did and I heard this crack thing. from then my right eye looks like it pushed in or something like not making as much eye contact with the camera as it did before the inciedent and the sad thing is that I have had perfect alignment all my life!!! i went to like alot of opthamologists and they said it was an eye strain and it should go back to nromal, there is nothing wrong with the eye muscles, etc. I have soo much pressure on my eyes at night when I sleep still, and sometimes when I look far to "relax" the musceles my eyes start doing something they never did like shake up and down..its annoying its like its so pbvious that there is a difference on the pics when you look at them and I really want surgery but they wont give it to me, any suggestion?

I don't have insurance at the moment (Damn company is keeping me waiting on their card to come in the mail) but unfortunately I'm sick. I have to go visit my pediatrician from years past. How much should I expect to pay for him to diagnose something like strep throat?

My mom told me that for some time now she has been seeing black dots all the time. She says it looks like dust particles that are just stuck there. What does this indicate? I'm worried about her and she is putting off going to the eye doctor. Is this a sign that she is going blind?

What kind of degree does a physician assistant have? Bachelor's or master's or even higher that equals an MD's degree? Can we trust a physician assistant in terms of diagnosis and treatment? My physician is always hurrying to next patients and never has time to listen to me which makes me really uncomfortable. But her PA will listen and spend enough time with me and this PA seems to be knowledgeable as well.

I heard that medical procedures done overseas in places like India are a lot cheaper. I was wondering if a flexible spending account will cover such expenses when they are done overseas.

Lately, I just haven't been able to fall asleep. I'll just be lying in bed for 30 mins to an hour (sometimes 2 hours) tossing and turning. It isn't my bed because I just got a new one, and I don't want sleeping pills because my buddy got addicted to them. So does anyone have any helpful tips?
