Accidentally lied at MEPS?
So here's the story: I went to a doctor almost a year ago and got a prescription for Paxil, the doctor never told me I had actually been diagnosed with any specific disorder or anything, but just gave me the prescription... I never even ended up taking the prescription. So, fast forward to recruiting and MEPS: While filling out all of the paperwork, they would ask specific questions like, "have you been prescribed medication for depression?" I figured that since I had not been officially diagnosed, I would just answer no to all of these questions. Well, I just found out that my job will require a security clearance, so I decided to look into my doctors visit and it turns out that the doctor diagnosed me with anxiety. So, what should I do now? My recruiter says I should just keep quiet, but I don't know if that is in my best interest since I will have to get a security clearance.
Weird Pregnancy Symptoms?
Hello. I normally get my period the last week of the month and it lasts around 4 days. (Around the 27th) I get SOME PMS, but not much. I'll get moody and cramp/bloat, etc., but it's nothing too bad. This month, I woke up on the 20th to have my morning pee and, what do you know? There's blood. No PMS. I changed four times that day. Then it was gone??? I have "fluttering" in my stomach. I get random mild headaches. I feel bloated and sleeping on my stomach is weird. I can't sleep to save my life and when I do, I have the most weird, vivid dreams. My gums hurt when I brush my teeth. I just got a new prescription at the eye doctor and stuff is still blurry. I'm super gassy (Both ends). I usually poop at least once a day (TMI), and now I'm only pooping every 2-3 days. I went grocery shopping last week and only wanted fruit, seriously. The only reason I bought other things was for my husband. LOL Cigarettes make me gag, brushing my teeth makes me gag. Maybe it's because I'm not sleeping at night, but I have to have a nap every day now or I don't function. I'm normally the one telling my husband to calm down/relax, and now it's vice-versa. I have zits on my shoulders and back (It's gross and embarrassing and I don't like it, nor is it normal). My face is also very oily and I have zits along my hairline. I took a test the day after my bleed (8/21) but it was negative. Maybe it was too early to test? I'd "technically" be late now, but I want to know if anyone else has weird symptoms or am I just crazy? Thanks. =]
So, I took a urine test.
And.
I'm pregnant.
Having issues with a pill addicted mother?
My mother has been addicted to prescription pills for at least 5 years. In her mind she is in pain and needs them. But with her selling, borrowing and buying everyone in the family knows that its not normal and that she has a problem. She has gotten so bad that you can't even talk to her without her getting mad and yelling at you. My husband and I came back from a 3 month mission stay in Africa and had no where else to go but to stay with my mother and step dad. The second day we got back she kept asking when I was going to pay my dad back for the plane tickets (We were in a bad situation in Africa and we HAD to leave as soon as we could.) I told her that we just got back and it was going to take some time for my husband to find a job so that we could pay him back. We fully intend to do so. So I talked to my dad to figure a payment arangement and he said that he didn't want us to pay him back. That pissed my mother off, she went on a rant of how much better she raised me and that she was a better parent than my step dad because his kids do drugs and aren't responsible for anything. She makes plans with my nieces to do things but when she gets her pills she takes them and then passes out and totally forgets about her plans with my nieces (who are 9 and 6) and gets so wasted on her pills that she passes out in the middle of conversations sometimes. She repeats herself constantly and tells me what a horrible attitude I have. I have NEVER said anything disrespectful towards my mother. The last few weeks that we were staying with her she said that she couldn't wait for us to move out because I had a horrible attitude. She tries to take my nieces with her on her little drug runs. She is spending almost 500 dollars every time she buys pills from people and sometimes she doesnt even know what she gets but takes them anyway.
My first baby is due this january and I feel like I am faced with telling my mother that she needs to get it together or my child and I can't be around her. I know I am not over reacting she has changed dramatically over the last 5 years that I don't even know who this woman is anymore. I can't even begin to explain the hurt and anger this woman has caused my family. But no one wants to stand up and tell her that she is wrong.
I just don't know what to do. I need someone to tell me what to do.

Is it possible that my doctor will induce because of PUPPP?
please take the time to read my story and let me know your opinion. I am desperately in need of relief, and since PUPPP can only be cured with delivery, I am desperately wanting to have this baby. I have tried so hard not to be selfish and let my pregnancy go full-term, but my health feels like it is diminishing. I am currently 35 weeks, 6 days pregnant and I have been suffering from PUPPP since I was 34 weeks, 6 days gestation. 1 Whole week so far. The itching is unbearable and I have not been able to sleep. I have slept on and off for about 15 hours total since last wednesday - 15 hours for the past 6 days....I can't think straight anymore and I'm too dizzy to drive. When I do pass out and drift off to sleep, I awaken no more than 30 minutes afterwards clawing the blood out of my skin. The rash now covers my entire body except for my face and feels like scales. I look like I have leprosy. I have open wounds from scratching my body in my sleep. i try not to scratch when I'm awake. DETAILED INFO - Wed Aug 4th - My OB first noticed the rash and told me to use over-the-counter hydrocortisone on the affected spots and to call her if they got worse. It was not itching at the time, so i didn't bother using it - yet. Wed 18th - Itching was ever-so-slight. clothes bothered it and it spread a little, but wasn't bad. I used the hydrocortisone, and it brought moderate relief. Thurs 19th - Called my OB and told her that my rash was spreading. She made me an appointment and diagnosed me with PUPPP. She prescribed a topical steriod cream for me to begin using to "knock it out before it got bad". I waited until that sunday (the 22nd) to fill the Rx because I was not comfortable taking such medication. by that time, the itching had become worse, so I gave in and began taking the med. Wed 25th (35 weeks pregnant) - Itching hit me full force. I was suddenly covered in mosquito-like bumps that itched worse than chicken pox. The steriod cream had not helped at all. I soaked in cold baths (the cold water and cold compresses relieve the itch, but only temporarily. The itch would return in less than 15 minutes after the cold compresses stopped). I tried all kinds of home-remedies (aveeno, oatmeal bath, grandpa's tar soap, aloe vera, dandelion root, cocoa butter, etc - probably spend over $75 testing out new lotions and herbs). I recieved NO sleep that night. Thursday 26th (35 weeks, 1 day) - Went to see OB and she told me to stop using the steriod cream because she believed i had an allergic reaction to it. Told me to take oral benadryl and stop using topical creams altogether. Informed me that oral steriods would be the next step, which I feared. Friday 27th (35 weeks, 2 days) - By friday night, my pain was unbearable. Benadryl had NO effect. It didn't even make me drowsy. I was in so much discomfort that I began having strong contractions. They worsened and became 3-6 minutes apart. I became sick to my stomach too and vomited a few times. I went to the ER that night (or should I say Sat morning at 4:00am)were the took to me to L&D and managed to stop my contractions, but the doc just prescribed me oral steriods (medrol dose pak) and sent me back home. I recieved no other treatment. I was in so much agony that I filled the prescription and began it right away. It is now Tuesday morning (Aug 31st, 5:40 am) and I am currently 35 weeks, 6 days pregant. I haven't slept at all tonight. I feel like I am losing my mind. I have been giving the medrol dose pak a few days to kick in, but it has had NO effect at all. I have been continuing home remedies and continuing cold baths and cold washcloths - that's the only thing that brings comfort. My husband and I cannot be intimate because I am so exhausted. I have not been to work for 5 days now. I do not feel comfortable driving because I am so dizzy and tired. I have been through HELL. Now, I have seemed to have lost my apetite. I have been forcing myself to eat and I have lost 4 pounds since Friday. Also, I experienced "lightening" recently - my son dropped into my pelvis region and I have been having some pretty stong BH contractions and increased discharge (no bloody show). My next OB appointment is tomorrow, sept 1st. I will be 36 weeks pregnant. Do you think she will induce me? She told me that oral steriods was the last step she would take.
Please help me!!!! Keratoconus eye , blindness, what to think?...?
Hello!!
I am in a dillema...
4 years ago i went to the eye doctor and i have ben told that i had a keratoconus eye (right eye) but i didnt had nothing to worry about....i just needed to use contact lenses to improve my vision instead of my glasses. I did not manage to use the rigid lenses so they gave soft ones, but after 1 year i could no longer bare them on my eyes...
5 days ago i went to the hospital to see a eye doctor because on my last eye test something changed a lot...
I have now been told that i suffer from KC on both eyes and if i can't bare the "special contact lenses" i will have to do a cornea transplant.
I am worried because no one explains nothing to me, all i know i have read in the internet, no one can tell why even with my galsses i can;t see properly, why i have constant headaches, i am desperate... At this moment my prescription on glasses is:
LEFT eye: Sphere -3.50 Cylinder -3.50 Axis 131
RIGHT eye: Sphere -5.50 Cylinder -4.50 Axis 34
with glasses on i can see the first2 lines fairly ok but struggle on line 3 outside the room i see quite worst, example if i am driving i can't see the car registration in front of me until we are actually stopped at the traffic lights and even then sometimes i struggle, to see the signs in the road/motorway i have to be by there side or i can't see them i would say that i can't see nothing in front of me if is about 2 to 3 meters away from me..
Without glasses i can't see not even 1" in front of me, i am not able to function without my glasses at all.
Please give me some answers!!!
Am i getting blind or already "blind"?!
What will happen with this KC? Thank you
Sue
My anxiety is still ruining my life, I'm 19 and I feel helpless?
I have had horrible nervousness and anxiety when I am in school since I was in kindergarten. I have found out from my counselor that I absorbed this personality from my mentally ill mother when I was a toddler, and that I was not born to be this way (so anxious for no reason). Now that I know this I feel better abot myself, but the thing is, I just can't get rid of the anxiety. When I am in social situations and or under pressure, I can't handle it. My body automatically gets jittery, nauseous, nervous and lightheaded, even when I think happy, calm thoughts. I used to be on klonopin (prescription anxiety meds) but they never fix things, just make you calm for the time being. I am so tired of living this way. I am in college and I feel so nervous all the time that i can NOT concentrate on what the teacher is saying. I am sick of dealing with this and it makes me crave alcohol to calm me down. I don't know what to do anymore.
health issues after quitting smoking?
I am a 43 yr old woman. I smoked for close to 30 yrs. Since quitting smoking 7 mos ago I have never felt worse. I have packed on 45lbs although I watch what I eat (Vegetarian diet). I exercise daily and practice Martial Arts weekly. I have always been small and never had trouble with weight. I have had persistant heartburn that wakes me up at night even though I have a prescription from the doctor which is supposed to control this. I have horrible cramps behind my knees and calves which are worse in the mornings, I can barely walk for the first 1/2 after getting out of bed. I am listless with no energy, nothing gets me excited anymore, I just want to stay home all the time. My skin has broken out o the extent that I believe it may be acne, which I've never had. Is there anyone out there who has shared my experience? Is this just symptoms of nicotine withdrawl or is it something more serious? (P.S. I will not take up smoking again, EVER!)
my roommate needs to go. what can I do?
She was the nicest, sweetest person I had ever met. I had known her since our freshman year in high school about five years ago. We made plans that we would move out because she had convinced our entire school, including me-that her mother was abusing her. Became roomates out of sympathy. She is a very fragile diabetic--her blood sugar is really bipolar. She is on disability and recieves food stamps, along with excess.
She has been eating my food while she's been at work, abusing my 13 year old poodle (whom I've had to give to my mother because it was unfair to her, taking out loans she can't pay back, buying and selling prescription pain killers, and selling her diabetic needles to junkies in our area. I've had to cover her rent twice already, and I can't afford to anymore. I'm a full time student, with a small college job, working at subway parttime. She is currently in e.r, because her blood sugar was over 500. Along with complications in her chest and hard time breathing. I found out from my neighbor that she was in the hospital. She had no intention of telling me she was in the hospital. This is also the case with rent--she hadn't paid amost 100 dollars last month, and I didn't find out that she hadn't paid that until I tried to pay rent today. ): Her entire family (besides her "abusive" mom) blames me for her high blood sugar because I bring non-diet and sugary foods to the house. She shouldn't have been eating my food in the first place, but they believe since I indirectly put her in this situation I have to foot $700 for rent. I don't have any family or friends her for support, and this will wipe my current savings. ): rent needs to be paid, but I can't afford breaking the lease. I've been crying all day.
Can Restless Leg Syndrome cause pain in legs while sleeping with no other symptoms?
I am a 24 year old female, 185 pounds, 5'3". I have high cholesterol, a poor diet, do not exercise, but have great blood pressure. I've been having severe pain in my legs when I sleep for years. It feels like there is too much weight pressing down. It is worst when I lay on one side or the other, a little less when on my stomach, and almost unnoticeable on my back. I like to sleep on my side, but the pain makes me have to turn over every 20 minutes. It's mostly in my thighs, and is a constant (not throbbing) severe pain originating from the side on the bed. It gets worse the more I lay in one position. I don't have any pain while sitting, but my legs will start to hurt after a moderate amount of walking. I was on Ortho Evra for 7 years while smoking, so I am very afraid this pain is due to blood clots. I saw an Urgent Care doctor when my feet swelled one day who did an EKG and said blood flow to my legs was normal and he couldn't feel any deep vein thrombosis. I saw my internist yesterday and mentioned that my leg had been hurting while I sleep. He immediately said Restless Leg Syndrome, and, with no further questions, wrote me a prescription for Ropinirole HCL .5mg. I can't find anything on the Internet that links RLS to the symptoms I am experiencing. I will sometimes shake my foot in bed if I can't sleep and am bored, but I don't feel any physical compulsion to do so. Does anyone else with RLS have a similar experience?
With all our technology and advancments in medicine, why is it that not one medicine cures anything.?
Could it be that if they found a cure they would lose the money that's being made off the prescriptions. The doctor wannabees lurking here in this section will try to push antibiotics on here, but this is no cure. It only causes worst troubles down the road that will require more prescription. Do you think they have a perfect money making machine here or what?
MEDICINE!!!
Gary Y, If someone is worried they are not well. But the good thing about the crap you push is that they get worried fast because they are not well and realize that they've fallen into your scams of trying to keep them sick. Shame on you and your crunnies!
Tink, Stop trying to throw your thousand dollar words around to try to impress someone. The bottom line is, People are sick of walking around like toxic zombies from mainstream doctors. Who only look at the bottom line and that's money. Doctors learn little about nutrian because that's not where the money is. And if I can open one person's eye's to this then maybe they will start eating right taking needed supplements and excercising so they can stay healhty and live a good life without taking mainstream meds. These medications ruin lives. Growup and open your eyes!
Parfait, Think about what you said for one moment and you will realize how wrong you are. Sounds like you work for the Pharmaceutical industry. WTF!
Listen to "Red Angel" She hit's the nail on the head!
Bi-polar/Major Depression Disorder out of control (suicidal)?
Hi guys I need help. I am (after years of fighting this) 100% I have a depression disorder that is one out of the two listed in the title. The phases occur every day regardless of what I eat, drink, sleep, etc. Everyday the symptoms get worse and worse and suicide is very high in my mind. I need meds but I have no prescription, and no money on my own to go visit a clinic nor are my parents supportive. Where can I find meds, herbs, remedies to ease this? Idk what to do. I have no one to turn to. I have no friends, no social life, no love life. There is no one and I am really scared of dying.

Is this mental effect ADD or something different?
My older brother was diagnosed with ADHD to an extreme degree, so I was kind of watched loosely for years. At the end of my last year (Sophomore) I was shooting hoops outside and ended up trying to spin the ball on my finger. It'd end up falling off, and I would go catch it and try again. But this weird effect happened- every time I tried I became less focused and lost more fine motor control. It was like letting your eyes go unfocused. Eventually my brother came out really confused for some reason- later he told me it was because I was trying, failing and trying again as fast as I could- he could barely register each movement it was so fast, and I wasn't even thinking about it. It was a completely out of body experience. I ended up trying to connect the dots and guessed I had ADD- and the tests were positive to the doctors. They ended up giving me Adderall prescription, and for a while it worked. But that isn't the only effect. It's like I have a weird mental fog, or block. I can't act like other teens- the instant a conversation closes with a person I just zone. It's like I live most of my life in my mind- I've visualized nearly every potential situation on earth, and even have gotten into philosophy and watching politics for no reason. This zoning happens a lot- not like daydreaming, but I kind of slip into a less-controlled mentality. I can virtually listen to the teacher's lessons while at the same time finishing math homework and thinking about anything random, like some appointment I need to remember to make. And when I run into something and it catches me, it is all-consuming. When I got interested in WoW I could zone for 7 hours straight easily. I'll focus on one thing in exclusion to all else- I've been known to watch entire series of TV shows that have died a long time ago (Smallville, though not dead, Kim Possible, Danny Phantom, etc. Just random junk). I can sometimes just sit still and get unfocused, running my brain a hundred miles an hour. My memory seems both eidetic and bad at the same time (Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, off the top of my head. Yet I can't tell you what was for dinner last night). I once even recited 4.5 hours of viral videos off of YouTube because I was bored. I memorize extremely easily- I can virtually match word for word entire movies and there's virtually no music on the radio I don't know by heart by now. It's just weird. My mentality flickers, my focus and memory stammers, I focus a lot on imaginative, hypothetical situations and, more often than not, plan out entire conversations/arguments beforehand. Could it just be the ADD or something worse? The meds I'm on now seem to help a bit, but even day one- when I was virtually high on the stuff- didn't change too much. What should I do?
Aspergers or depression or something else? Help me out you guys. :)?
Okay I was diagnosed with Aspergers like, last year, and then with OCD and now I'm pretty sure I have Aspergers as are my parents, but I have decided to simply not think about it as putting a name to something doesn't change the nature of it's condition. I am only mentioning it here because I think it may be the cause of my problem and it is important background info. So I like don't understand anything. Many of the people who know me best will tell you I am really smart and really dumb. It's not so much emotions and human reactions/interactions that I have a problem with although I often have trouble with sarcasm and I have been known to be the last to get more subtle jokes. The main point here is I don't understand peoples instructions often. And with teachers in maths and Chemistry (which could just mean I suck at maths) I often don't get the teachers explanations and I feel like this is due to a lack of clarity. I can't be that bad at maths because I am a very skilled musician and I think that I get the maths behind it better then a lot of people. People say things and it seems like 25-50% of the time depending on nothing, I either misperceive the meaning or the whole sentence is just assorted bits of nothing. Often when talking to my Mum I say things like: "Do you even realize how little sense that makes" and "What on earth are you talking about." It just seems at home in particular there isn't a single situation that I perceive the same way as my family and yet my perceptions seem so much more logical. Also in various situations like activities and assignments I just don't understand what we need to do. A good example is rugby. I tried to play it, but I didn't understand the rules and I couldn't figure them out by playing. I just acted as best I thought others were acting and I have no idea to date whether that worked or not. Sometimes I cannot control my thoughts. It's like I am experiencing my thoughts but not actually controlling them. Its as though there is a roller coaster with all this motion behind it and someone takes away gravity. I'm on the roller coaster and I' experiencing what is happening, but no ones controlling the ride any more. The roller coaster does what it wants. This happens rarely during the day. It happens in the mornings though when I first wake up. It's like I am conscious but my thoughts are as scattered as dreams. Completely random. One time, I couldn't stop thinking about Japanese. I had done loads of late Japanese homework the previous night and my brain thought I was still doing it. I would think of sentences and ideas to write about and at different times I would realize and beg myself to get out of bed and be on time for school, but I couldn't. I don't know whether I didn't try hard enough, but I don't think I was really in control. During the day I constantly daze. Even when someone is in the middle of talking to me I sometimes just disappear inside my head for a moment and mis like half of their sentence. Or sometimes it happens for longer and I miss important parts of what my teachers have been saying. If it helps to know I have been offered a prescription for Ritalin because my mind is very active. I guess in summary I am constantly either dazed or confused or both and I want to know why. I have had a noticeable decrease in appetite recently, but I don't know if that's not separate. And my memory is fvcked too! I remember the weirdest things and often I remember things in a lot of detail In fact I have been described as having a photographic memory, but I don't think that is true. By the same token I can often hardly remember certain things or situations. Important ones too, it drives me and my family mad! My life is kind of hard. I have a few issues and I feel like I could be depressed because I do not keep up with school work and I have trouble feeling love at all, which really scares me. I have thought about suicide before but I don't think I was serious at all. Sometimes I feel like my whole life is a big confusing dream. I want to know what you guys think?
Eyedrop to darken eye color?
I have brown/green eyes and i really want to have them fully brown!
Now i heard eyedrops like Lumigan increases brown pigmentation of the iris.
I have no glaucoma but i really want to try out this drop.
(I know where i can it online without a prescription and im aware of the side effects) Besides, i have tried wearing colored lenses in different shades of brown (love them all)
i want my eyes to be this color permanently.
I dont like my own eyecolor since a very young age! What should i do? Wearing colored lenses everyday or trying some eyedrop? or another solution is welcome! (i only fear to go blind or to have dark eyelids permanently! i dont mind about having redeyes or sumthing) (i know about the surgery thing, yikes!)
