Mental Health - October 2006

Hello,
My apology if I'm at the wrong place to ask this question. I'm here to seek more information about brain nerves demyelination. My mother 73 years old has suffered a stroke 3 months ago caused left sided weakness, deviation of angle of mouth to right side. Now, she doesn't eat anything orally and she is in tube feeding.
The Doctors have done what they could do. I request you all to advice me if you know anything about this, specially on:-
1. What all precautions I should take to avoid further stroke?
2. What all food/vegetables should I feed her to maintain her physical strength? She has sugar level between 132-174 and she is in Ryle's tube feed.
3. Generally she lock her lips when we make her sit. Is it common?
4. Finally, What all technique should we adopt to feed her orally? She takes few spoon of water and orange juice everyday but sometimes coughs. But she asks for food when she feels hungry.

Thank you.

I am going to try out Wellbutrin. But I am worried if it will cause me constipation. I don't like getting constipated.

Is it common side effect?

I just took a couple tests -from an actual person who does that sort of thing professionally- and I averaged out at 140.

I'm not taking it too seriously, but I'd like to know what that means in the scheme of things...

Is it related to gastra intestine functions, just like the serotonin is?

I heard serotonin directly affect the ability of bowel movement.

Is it same to the dophamine?

I stopped going there after a month because it seemed like a bunch of pseudo religious cult-like BS. /they have this type of language they all talk in that I called.."taliking in bumber stickers" I think it is onlky good for people whom like to hear thier own voice when they complain. The studies have shown the program to be a failure...why do therapists and doctors still recommend it? click the link. No AA nazis or religion pushers please

I tend to go from being ecstatic about something one minute to being depressed the next and not understanding why at all. It will be something small that will upset me and then I just want to lie and sleep and not be anywhere near anyone. This from jumping around and laughing and just generally having a good time. My boyfriend suggested this might be bi-polar. I know nothing about it. What do you guys think it could be?

should i say it on face in the same rude tone even if it turn out fight...or keep it to me...

many times i've come across this, & i feel that my humble tone of talking makes some oversmart people behave like that to me & i'm taken for granted under the impression that this girl is naive or may be more suitably underconfident..

i'm an introvert & sensitive person & my mind can't come out of it once anyone behaves bad with me (whithout my fault or reason)

the most annoying part is that sometimes we've no option but to keep in touch with them....

No matter how much I look out for Caucasian interest, I'm always fending off their screwing me. Then God and man bless them for taking from and hurting me.
I need a God who's for Black people! I need Black people, who are Black conscious, to help me through yet another firing brought on by Caucasians robbing me of what I earned!
Local 300, Laurence Adams president, ended my 9-year battle with USPS by selling me out. So fighting to stay on a job is near impossible for me anymore.
But, I have to survive while I'm alive. How can I do that without harming anyone? I am somebody. Life is teaching me I am to be harmed with no consequence to the harming me. Is that why when I hurt it's usually someone close to me or myself?
I need Black people or mulattos like me to help me. Caucasians or Condoleezas and Colins, please don't bother responding!
