I know it's a long article but I really think it's worth reading. I think the people here could use it. Personally I think the writer's story is every bit as interesting as the basketball player. In...
I haven't visited here in quite a long time. I hope all are well. I read this article a few moments ago and instantly thought of this community:...
A vent thread. Excellent idea. I was pretty sick earlier this week. Four really bad days and a couple of pretty "meh" days, but aside from maybe a little weakness plus some residual coughing, I'm...
Yes, I have this problem, too! Every time I measure my own blood pressure, it's either normal or very occasionally in the pre-hypertension range. Most often it's normal. But I hate visiting the...
Do you still have your gall bladder?...

Yeah to all of that. I'm more worried about my mother than I am myself. I did go home to take the trash out and clean out the refrigerator, but I had to come back here as she is still sick and...
Yeah, trivia. It used to take me between 30 and 45 seconds to play those games, so even if it went really well that's not much enjoyment. But for some reason it bothers me that I can't correct the...
Thanks. I guess my mom had a bacterial pneumonia or they wouldn't have given her antibiotics. My lungs themselves do not hurt, though, and I breathe free and easy except for those moments I am...
Long time, no see...but I need you now. I know a lot of you are mothers and some of you are even nurses. I'm not going to ask for medical advice in a strict sense, though. I'm 35 years old. In...
I have no question that Dalton is right about his condition, but his experience may not be universal. I was going through a lot of stomach problems several years back. I saw lots of...
I went to bed last night after having felt kind of funny for a few hours. Then I woke suddenly early this morning with stomach cramps. At first I was constipated a little, I guess. Then, I was most...
Ah yeah. I'm fine. I did do something stupid. It was pretty hot here in Texas today and I went out to mow the lawn after having "distress" all morning. Before long I was dehydrated. Oddly, I'd had...
Almost 100 percent sure this is a false alarm. I'm not feeling good myself but out of concern for "nervousness", I woke her up to see how she's doing. She is just skipping work because she wants to...
Okay, so I have this weird fear of vomiting or else I wouldn't be worried about this at all. Last night, my roommate (nervousness from trivia) and I went to Wendy's to get a quick bite to eat. Not...
Well I could be wrong but I don't think a video game by itself could give someone a heart attack. I'm willing to bet they had cardiovascular problems to begin with, either congenital or developed...
Well I'm certainly not at my best, but I am looking forward to getting better. And even though I get down sometimes and wonder if things will get better, in my heart I know that they will. And of...
Kitt, the weather is supposed to be perfect for opening day, as it always is indoors! At the park (where I'd love to be) it's supposed to be about 90 with a negligible chance for thunderstorms. So a...
Well I took a nap and my stomach settled down. Pain is still pretty bad but you get used to that after, well, four months of it. I just hope tomorrow's a better day. It's OPENING DAY (baseball) and...
I'm as bad as I have been at any point today, and I ate those tacos at 11am, almost eight hours ago. Now I have a horrible taste in my mouth too....
Well, I guess nobody has any advice. What advice could they have other than "stick it out"? Nothing else I can do. I will say this, though. I'm getting pretty low. Tired of everything. No, I don't...
I don't know. I think maybe you should examine why it has become so important for you to be "pure". You may not be proud of what you did in the past, but it's nothing unusual or out of the scope of...
It's a gift, not a problem! You'll see me participating in some synesthesia sites and forums under the same name I post under here....
I'd maybe take it easy on those supplements. They often don't deliver what they promise. But there have been some clinical studies with some of them, so those are the ones I'd look at. When somebody...
Yep. I know most kids go out in groups. I did. But I would imagine that would be hard with anxiety problems, so if you're willing to hang out with her one-on-one that may be very helpful. Definitely...
Okay, so I had my wisdom teeth out and things went fine. Only a couple of minor complications. Today I had to go back to the surgeon because of one of those complications, and he poked around without...
The last thing I wanted to hear about were failed attempts at quitting. Thread abandoned, haha....
well it's kind of hard to be that positive now. The pain at the extraction sites isn't too bad. Swelling is, pain is not. But they did something to the roof of my mouth that hurts like hell and makes...
Well I finally have my wisdom teeth ripped out of my skull and jaw bone at 9:50am. The beginning of the end for this mess. It's 2:15am. I can't have anything to eat or drink six hours before the...
Might try an ENT. Pain in the jaw can refer to the shoulder, I know. Not sure about the chest. But I've had lots of pain with my teeth lately and, yeah, it definitely causes anxiety which in turn...
I didn't have hypertension when I had the worst of my anxiety disorder in part because I was in pretty good shape. My stomach gave me hell, and it took a while to recover from that. Wasn't really...
I've just now seen this thread. Kitt, I'm so sorry. My dad had a stroke a couple of years before his heart attack. The stroke got him down, mentally, so he never recovered and just allowed the...
Thanks to the responses for my sub-question. Glacier, have you talked to your doctor about the BP med?...
Well, I was doing better. The antibiotics had worked and over the last few days I've had quite a bit of time "pain free" or close to it. Problem is, both last night and this evening I went through a...
If you have Netflix, you can watch it instantly in HD, too. Unless they've taken it off "watch instantly", which they have been doing to a lot of movies recently. edit -- I should read more carefully...
I can't get into surgery until the 28th....
I didn't have an anxiety problem until years after my discharge. About eight years. I did get hurt and received a medical discharge, but while painful it honestly wasn't that traumatic. I don't think...
No I don't have anything digitized except for a few songwriting "sketches". Drummer in my last band took off in the middle of the night to NYC. He owned all the recording equipment and none of us has...
Don't mean to hijack the thread but, Kitt, can pain cause a person to faint? Because that happened to me not long ago. Well I wasn't completely "out", but I collapsed and was extremely dizzy. The...
Yep I took those. Not in a band at the moment, no....
I used to have lots of stomach problems. It was due to anxiety, and almost every one of my friends and family thought it was stupid and in my head. They were half right. Either way, I lost some...
The last couple of days the pain in the tooth and jaw sort of went away, and with it the referred pain I was feeling behind my eye and in my ear. It was all still there, but nothing like it was....
Hello. Well, Sunday was certainly better than Saturday night was. Holy God. Monday came and went in much the same way. Vicodin. Yesterday I kind of felt better when I woke up so I thought I should...
I don't think there's anything wrong with the way mine are aligned. He even said there was enough room back there, but they are very hard to clean so they began to decay. One, of course, broke in...
Pain got so bad tonight I went to the ER. That doctor was...well, I cannot use that kind of language here. He gave me Vicodin after I'd told him my stomach is sensitive to acetaminophen, the jerk. I...
No I can eat if I'm careful. I do have to be more careful with anything remotely hard or chewy. And I have to wash my mouth out really well every time I eat, or at least I think I do. I don't want...
No, he didn't advise me to avoid any foods. Generally chewing on stuff doesn't seem to bother it as long as I keep it on the right side of my mouth. The worst pain I'd gotten occurs late at night...
Thanks, Kitt. I'm dealing with the bad news. It's no simple matter, though. Tooth has been okay today. Last night was awful. I think I went to sleep at 6am and woke around 9am. I filled my...
Went back to the dentist today. I'd received some very, very bad news just prior to my appointment, and so my blood pressure was way up and he didn't think I could sit still long enough to do a good...
Well I already had a dentist appointment today for fillings and stuff. I can't even say at this point that the pain is lessened. It had lessened, but the worst thing that was giving me trouble was...
