Chest Problems.
Posted Sunday April 8 2007, 7:49 pm
This morning when I woke up, I had this strange pain all over my chest. It sort of throbs to my heartbeat, and hurts very badly when I breath. When I lay down, it's even difficult to breath. It's lasted out the whole day. I took one Advil, but felt no effect.
Obviously, I'm not looking for a diagnosis, because if I have this tomorrow I'm going to the doctor. But if anyone has experienced something like it, I would appreciate a response.

gross!
Posted Sunday April 8 2007, 7:47 pm
I'm just going to warn everyone in advance that this question is extremely gross and kind of graphic.
Okay so I started recovery from anorexia last week, so I have to eat small things several times a day. So I ate 3-5 times, only fruits, veggies, whole wheat toast, yogurt, etc., all high nutrition, high fiber things. I chewed everything up I ate very very well and ate slowly and drank a lot of water, etc. But I didn't poop for like a whole week. So I took 3 laxative pills and drank 10 ounces of Magnesium Citrate. It gave me awful diarrhea but at least I feel better. Was that dangerous of me to do? And how can I start eating again if this is going to happen every week? Help...I'm really sick and tired and grossed out.

I'm not Aneroxic, I just don't like food
Posted Thursday April 5 2007, 2:27 am
Ok, I'm not sure if this is the right catogory but it seemed good. So, I do hate my weight and want to be skinny, but I don't think I am aneroxic. People have called me that before but because I hate eating a lot, and 3 meals a day is a lot to me. I usually eat an egg for breakfast, nothing or an apple for lunch and a regular dinner. Is that bad? I don't want to eat just to please ppl but I don't know how to tell them that I just don't like much food. What can I say to them?

Lukeimia
Posted Wednesday April 4 2007, 11:27 pm
Last Tuesday, I went in for testing. I went in for testing because at cheerleading practice, I fell on my knee and it wouldn't stop bleeding for over an hour. And it didn't need stitches either. So the doctor in the ER had someone to come and test me and my results came back in today...I have lukeimia.
I didn't think of saying anything last week or this week until now because I was pretty sure that nothing was wrong with me. I guessed wrong.
I'm scared. Seriously, what is the survival rate. I don't want to die, and I don't want this cancer, I don't want any cancer. I don't want any illness. I swear to myself that God hates me and he just wants me to die. I hate this.
For the next month, I will have to go for more testin...

How do I know?
Posted Sunday April 1 2007, 10:11 pm
Just to let you know this is NOT a pregnancy question
14/fm
I went to the doctor a little while ago. And I found out that I had some viral thing in my throat. When I was at the doctor's I told my mom what was bothering me. I mentioned to her that I have this problem. Whenever I stand for long periods of time, or sit down for a long time and stand up I black out, or pass out. My mom then asked me if I wanted a blood test. Im not a fan of needles so I said not really. Then she said not to tell my doctor. I did yell at her for asking me to lie to my doctor.
So I didn't tell my doctor. Its been about a week and my virus is gone. However, I'm still having that problem. I looked up my symptoms and the...

Od?
Posted Sunday April 1 2007, 12:45 pm
Yep, it's the one with the story again. =P
This may sound morbid, or something, but what happens in a heroine OD? What do you experience? Also, if you've got time to get to the hospital, what do they do to prevent death, ect? Do they do anything in the ambulance? I've heard of an injection.. but i'm not sure what happens.
Also, could you give me a scenerio where the doctors can't fight the effects of the OD, and the person dies? I'd just need help with this, because in my story, the person is supposed to die..
Please answer this if you actually know what you're writing about, and I know how to search google, thanks. lol.
but really, thanks for any help!!

Seeing a doctor
Posted Wednesday March 28 2007, 2:59 am
This may not be the right category, but couldn't think of a better one. Anyway, I'm 18. I've made an appointment to see a doctor without my parents knowledge. Is there any way they'd be able to find out? It's a really private matter which is why I can't have them finding out. Would it make a difference if I used our family's health care card?
Thanks for your help.

thirsty
Posted Monday March 19 2007, 5:51 pm
Lately, I have been extremely thirsty. I do not know what is wrong with me! I weight a normal weight. I thought it might be early signs of diabetes - but i wasn't sure. I know that none of you can diagnose me, but any opinions?
thanks!
and by the way, my sister and dad both have diabetes - the one where they need to have sugar at certain points of the day or something!
