Mono
Posted Saturday December 8 2007, 10:30 pm
I was diagnosed with Mono in June. My symptoms pretty much went away except for fatigue. I'm tired basically all the time. I go to bed around 11pm and I have to take 2+ naps during the day, usually when I come home from school. I recently had a blood test done and it said that I was still positive for Mono since it can show up on your blood test for months or even years. Is there anything I can do for the fatigue?? Am I still recovering from Mono or could it be something else?? Thanks!!

Anorexia
Posted Saturday December 1 2007, 10:53 am
How do people actually die from Anorexia? I'm recently in recovery & I think I'm doing okay. Right now I'm approximately 5'7 & 116-118 lbs. I think I'm doing better. I eat breakfast, lunch, a snack, dinner, & another snack before I go to bed. I still avoid fatty foods though, but other than that I eat pretty healthy. I eat fruits, veggies, crackers, carbs, meats, etc. I probably take in approximately anywhere from 1400-1500 calories a day. Is this okay for me?? I'm trying to gain a bit of weight but it just isn't easy. I'm also waiting to get my period back. Its upsetting because a lot of people don't know what they're talking about & think that you can just die. Wouldn't I have to stop eating for that to happen?? I'm follow...

am i crazy?
Posted Thursday November 29 2007, 1:57 pm
so for the past few weeks, i've been having personal trouble and i don't know what it might be. since i've gotten back with my boyfriend, i've been acting really different. since we're opposites, sometimes i act the way he does and not care about things, but then i realize i'm doing it and stop. little things he does like talking to girls or when girls try and flirt with him bug me and i start to get really irritable. i always have this anger in me when i think about other girls. so then i tried breaking up with him and i cried hysterically at the thought of me never being with him again because i love him so much. so i stayed with him but lately i feel like i'm not myself anymore. i really just want to go somewhere new and start off a whol...

Panic/Anxiety Attacks?
Posted Wednesday November 14 2007, 8:39 pm
14/f.
I'm afraid I may be having panic or anxiety attacks.
I'm not sure though.,. It usually happens at home, once a week, or once every two weeks. I feel like I'm choking, and I have to work to breathe, I'm usually crying, though not always, and my chest will hurt, but not to the point of it being unbearable. My stomach usually will feel as if its "lurching" or idk, like on a roller coaster when you feel as if you've lost your stomach, that feeling. That's mostly all that happens, and it usually happens after my brother and I fight, I mean physically fight, or my grandmother and I get in an argument. Though it did happen once when I was frightened at night because of a scary movie I had seen, and once more when I th...

Bathroom problems
Posted Tuesday November 13 2007, 5:36 pm
Well i am having my period right now, but it is near the end- but recently there has been something wrong. When I use the bathroom, it kind of takes me a while before I can pee which is strange because that never happened before. It kind of started like yesterday. I don't know if it is because of my period or if it is something more serious. Do you think I could have a UTI? Because like yesterday, I kind of had a mild fever. 99.5 degrees but it is gone now. I'm really worried- because I am not sure if there is anything wrong with me.

In my AP Biology class we were discussing diseases and viruses.
And we started talking about bulimia,

I know you cant like cough and catch it.
But can you "catch" it?
