My son has mixed epilepsy and cerebral palsy, no medication has done any thing for him, he is now 3years old, he's had seizures since he was 6 months old. Until now they haven't been able to find what's causing them, He has 10 to 15 seizures a day. I have only two choices left VNS or Keto Diet, brain surgery is not an option for him since it is all over the brain. Any advice, suggestions, or any other information, please help, open to any advice

I have been for about a month,getting more and more forgetful. A few days ago I made the kids lunch,sent them back to school and 2 hours later realized the stove was still on. This is happening way to much,even the hubby has noticed this. I find myself not being able to find the words when speaking,I know what I want to say but find it hard to get it "right"

I am not sure if I should be concerned or not. I don't remember where I put things at times. Like today I couldn't for the life of me remember where I put some loot bags.

Thursday I filled a bag with animal supplies and not even 15 minutes later didn't remember where I put it down.

I have always been very good with memory so I find this strange for me. My life hasn't changed,so it can't be from that.

Is this normal?

My husband has been addicted to hydro/soma for three years and has been trying to get off them. In my opinion he has started them again the past couple of weeks. Other then his expressions and attitude the only thing I have to substantiate my opinion is his constricted pupils. He denies that it has anything to do with his drug abuse and states that it is because his contacts are so old. I would like to know if his pupils are not contracting do to the abuse or if it is possible that something else has caused the constriction.

Thanks, Justine

i've been diagnosed as having major depression, and the drs. were unsure if I am bipolar. i have tried several medications and have had awful side effects,from hallucinations to becoming a complete insomniac. i therefore do not wish to try any more medications. i am severely depressed, for an extensive period(around 8 months) and have put on a substantial amount of weight, socially isolated myself for the most part and generally just don't care. i am looking for any home or herbal remedies. thank you.

Im having Rhynoplasty in 4 days . For those of you who dont know what rhynoplasty is:

Plastic surgery that reduces or increasess the size of your nose. Im tired of feeling like crap.. because of my nose but also hate myself for being stupid. Im having this surgery more because I think more about what people think of my nose ..And yes there were cruel people out there making stupid remarks. and got my confindence down.. And even tho they dont say anything anymore.. I still feel that people stare more at my nose than at who i am..... Is it wrong for me to think more of myself and to actually do this??? Am I stupid for changing my nose because of others?

Ok so here is my problem. I think I am addicted to... sleeping. lolI always want to sleep during the day. Like I will get up at 11pm, stay up all night and then go to bed at morning.. OR if I try to be up during the day, I try and sleep all night until atleast 7, then during the day I want to go to bed still! I like my dream "life" better because in all my dreams I'm really pretty, skinny,
am the girl who all the guys are after, have an awesome and cute boyfriend, the works..I have no life though in the real world. I don't go to school, I stay at home all day and am overweight etc... I want to get out of the house but I have developed a social phobia of people. I won't answer the door, go outside and its hard enough just to answer the phone.
When I was in school I was teased and I had , had enough and my mom took me out. We tried home schooling but I just couldn't pay attention..So she told the cops I had ran away
and now I don't go to school.

My sister was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder years ago.. she laughs.

She also seems to drink to the point where I think she has developed 'alcoholic' thinking and behaviour.

Anyways, my question is........ can anyone share with me experiences they have had with people diagnozed with BPD and give specific examples of what types of things they do. Thanks.

I am an only child that was raised in single parent home where my mother was a really bad coke addict. My husband on the other hand had a terrific childhood with a really large famliy (13 in total). His parents put Brad and Angelina to shame because while my husband is their only biological child all the others they adopted from inner city orpanages. The problem isn't them it's me. I find myself getting jealous of how colse the all are with their traditions, and inside jokes, and natural chemistry they all have together. While i'm just reminded what a bad childhood i had and i can't help but feel a little stinging feeling inside of me. I get especially jealous of my husbands sisters who are 4 beautiful women each of either latin, black, or asian descent. It makes famliy dinners at his parents house miserable for me while everyone has a great time. Again none of this is their fault i just need to know why i feel this way and how i can get to stop? Plus i havent told my husband how i fee

I go to work on weekdays and don't leave work until aout 7 or 8 at night. I sleep about 6-7 a night. During the weekend, I am so very exhausted to the point that I just want to sleep in the whole day and not even turn on the television just because I don't want to think. Being unproductive suddenly becomes fun. Is this normal and does anyone feel this lazy on weekends? Weekends is a time to be with your loved ones, I know, but I'm just so not up to it.

I have suffered from panic attacks for about a year, and didnt have any for about six months until recently. Ive suffered about three this week alone. I try my best to focus on something else and can control them to a certain extent, but we are due to go on holiday on weds and im terrified im gonna get a panic attack on the plane and will freak out, because there is no escape.
Im getting anxious just writing this thinking about it!
Any one got any ideas to get me through this??
I know it is mind over matter, but this is easier said than done. I normally get them in the car, and can pull over and just get out, what the hell am i gonna do in a plane??
Oh my god im cracking up!
Is there any medicaton I can take, or herbal remedys?

I kind of have nightmares during the day, I can't think of a better description. For example today I was in the bathroom & I suddenly got the idea into my head that there was someone outside in the hall with a knife. I knew I was being stupid but I still locked the door.
Could this be tiredness or something and how do I stop it?
Thanks x

Does anyone know someone diagnosed with schizophrenia who was eventually cured? Are these people able to function in the outside world or end up spending most of their lives in mental hospitals? Thanks for any replies.

During her moments of anger she wants me to pack up and leave an during her goood moments she gives me just the opposite message. Last time during her anger she got physically violent towards me. I want to really work out my relationship with her. Can some one tll me what is this type of behaviour? Just as a background, I did boother her by some lies and however for the past few months, I swore not to lie again and kept my end of the bargain and am doing that.

...health, why should I do this or that, I think that way. I feel old. I feel so old to get married, too so I think that it is in vain to dress nice etc. and find a boyfriend etc.

How can I get over such feelings? Is it really too old for everything?
