This condition is making me very depressed that I want to take my life. No matter what I do I smell. I do not know what is wrong with me. It is not as easy as just take a shower. I do shower and put on deodorant/antiperspirant afterwards but I still smell bad. 10 minutes out of the shower I smell. I don't know what to do. I have lost all will for life. I have been to the doctor, but nothing they have presrcibed me has worked. I did have surgery to remove my sweat glands, but I still smell bad even with my sweat glands removed. I have tested negative for TMAU and I am stumped on what is wrong with me. I have tried every natural remedy, and natural and commercial antiperspirants/deodorants. I can't go anywhere without people having hysterical coughing fits and sniffling nonstop. It is not in my head. I am really smart and love school, but I barely go to my college classes because of this. The one thing I love the most is taken away from me and I can't live like this anymor

So I was in a bad car accident a couple of weeks ago and the doctors have me on Valium. I haven't had to take it recently but I really want to now cause I am in tons of pain, can't sleep and having awful muscle spasms. The problem is about 7 hours ago I had 2 glasses of wine, and another glass about 1 hour ago. I don't feel any effects from the wine at all but I have heard you can't take Valium with alcohol. Any chance I would be able to take 1, 5 mg Valium? Or is it too risky???

Thanks~

I always get at least 7 hours of sleep, but most often I get 8. I don't normally wake in the middle of sleeping, nor do I have difficulty getting to sleep, but the next day I always feel like I only slept for as few hours. The issue is that I can't reach a deep enough level of sleep, so what can I do to reach that deeper level of sleep?

I have been using Aquaphor healing ointment for the 4 months ive been on accutane but it has to much of a greasy look. Any suggestions of long lasting lip moisturizor that is non greasy? ive tried the carmex stick but it does the same thing as regular chapstick. Thank you for your time :)

Not just your "opinon" based even on personal experience, unless you really have seen definitive proof.
I really want to know if Petroleum products help or harm your skin. I used Vaseline on severely chapped lips, and it helped somwhat, though it caused some mild breakouts on the skin around the mouth. But I've heard so many things about why we should or shouldn't use Petro. products. What's the truth?

QUESTION: Your question was

about me: 21 , heterosexual male, and i have bad health.



About a Month ago i took an OraQuick Rapid Test for H.I.V.

(the blood draw one) and The Results were "NEGATIVE".



Reason i took it:



for the last two years i've been having weight loss in my face like my cheeks narrow, my face use to be fuller, and i get colds and sore throats easy, headaches, chestpain, eye twitches.



Before I took the H.I.V. Test it had been 3 Years since i had unprotected sex. The Counselor at the clinic wondered why i waited so long to take an H.I.V. Test. I waited so long, because i had a cold that lasted longer than 3 weeks and i freaked out...like damn why is my immune system so low.



Okay after the Negative Test results, I went on about my life, but I start having real bad nosebleeds at work that lasted longer than 20 -30mins.. i was working in a warehouse around alot of dry air and pressure treated wood.

I went to two doctors and they both ran "blood tests" on me, and said I'm perfectly fine, i just need to get out of that environment, so i got out of my job.



But currently i still notice my skinny face, severe headaches, eye twitching, blurry vision sometimes..not often.



I'm afraid to hang out with my old friends, because they'll notice my face and say "damn whats wrong with you".



I've been eating properly, my body hasn't changed..just my face!



its strange...



i asked a few people and they told me, maybe i should take a Panel STD TEST...but So far i've taken an H.I.V. and TWO SIMPLE BLOOD TESTS.

do i need a PANEL STD BLOOD TEST?

I personally think its heart problems or brain problems..
maybe.

I appreciate any advice you have. I have been on Paxil for 4.5 years now. I began getting horrible panic attacks after the birth of my daughter, plus I was stressed as my now ex-husband lost his job and I learned he was doing drugs. I was on Paxil before my daughter was born(not during pregnancy) because I was having severe panic attacks. I had switched from Buspar, which made me feel like a complete zombie.
So when my daughter reached 3 months(she is now 4.5 years old), I began having those panic attacks again. My dr. put me on Paxil again, and I have been on it for over 4 years now. Good news, no panic attacks, but I feel like its not helping my depression. I am also on Welbutrin, 300 mg a day for depression and I was trying to quit smoking on it, which sadly, I did for awhile, then I am back on them. I still suffer from depression, and probably always will. Can a medication stop being effective after so long? Is there another depression med that I should try?

Hiya everyone I know this may sound a little silly. But my ears are really sensitive to sound. Things that other people can do and not even give a second thought to can be really difficult for me. For example sitting next toa phone that suddenly starts ringing is normal for some people but it makes me jump. Other things like a car horn or dog barking make me jump and i really don't know why. So you can understand how difficult going to a concert and a fireworks party for example would be. I know it sounds silly but I reaaly wish I could do something about it is there a cure or even a condition for this. Please take this seriously this isn't a joke.Is there anything I can do other than wear ear plugs? Please help thankyou in advance.

For many years, I went to occoptional therapy and it does work. The problem is that after a short peroid, a fall, trip, or just turn would make me worse than before p.t., I just gave up a few years ago and will not do any more. Now, they suggest water therapy. However, transportation is a major problem. Many times the handicapped bus would show up so late that I couldn't make the appointment. Do doctors understand that sometimes therapies are not an option any more?
