alzheimers
Posted Thursday June 19 2008, 5:27 pm
My grandma has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's 6 months ago, but we think she's had it for much longer. My parents were hiding it from me all this time. I'm really upset with them for that. But anyways...
I'm just scared for her. I just was wondering if anybody could tell me things about Alzheimer's...I know like what it is but I just wanted to know a little more. I'd ask my parents, but they sorta don't want to talk about it. I mean, they didn't even tell me. I figured it out when they mentioned it in casual conversation. So basically asking them is completely out of the question.
Thank you.....

My right lymph node is swollen, but thats not all. I have a canker sore on the right cheek of my mouth, it hurts really bad. Is there anything i can do to prevent them from coming back when they leave? i know that to get rid of them you use one part maalox and one part benedryl, but how can you prevent them?
Thanks,

Poison Ivy in eye? Or something else?
Posted Saturday June 14 2008, 3:41 am
My boyfriend has been perfectly fine all day, and just a minute ago he came back from the bathroom complaining that his eye was burning and itching. He also said that when he looked in the mirror there was pus all inside of it. He managed to get the pus out, but it has continued to itch and burn. My mom told us to put eye drops in it, and that it would more than likely clear it up, but it just made things much worse on him. Now his eye is just burning. He is also complaining of breathing problems and blurred vision. We have recently been to a creek with massive amounts of poison ivy, oak, and sumac, and I am extremely allergic to all three, so naturally I have one of them (or possibly all of the above) all over me. He claims to not be aller...

Anorexia
Posted Monday June 9 2008, 12:19 pm
13/F/UK
i'm 6 and 1/2 stone in weight
(that should help)
Ok. So i think i'm kinda going Anorexic. For the whole of last week and the weekend i've eaten a bit of a meal or food and i wanted to throw up. I never did throw up but nearly did.
It did get worse sometimes.
But i knew i had to eat so i was forcing myself to eat more every meal, but i couldn't.
Could you please tell me whether YOU think that's classed as Anorexia? or YOU think i have it?
Thanks. xo

Sitting down....
Posted Tuesday May 20 2008, 1:02 am
Hi there, I'm 17. For some reason, the way my metabolism works, I don't go to the bathroom very often, and when I do, it's a big one. The big ones sometimes cause hemroids. The hemroids go away by themselves, but they can be really irritating. 17 is pretty young to be getting hemroids. What should I do?
