I have not had a period for over 18 months.
I am early 20s and I have only ever had regular periods when I was taking the pill over 3 years ago. I am now married and my husband has recently been diagnosed with bipolar2 but his first episode was over 2 years ago so I am definitely stressed, and since his diagnosis a few months ago I have been treated for depression. oh yes and i am also very over weight for my 5ft body. Also I know that I am very dehydrated as will only ever drink a glass of fluid each day.
I know I need to loose weight and drink water but do you think i should see my GP about this? I’m sure in a few years I will want to have a baby and i want to be able to but i am scared.
I feel so silly as i know i should go see my GP and also loose weight and drink water and ill be fine (will I?) I don’t smoke drink alcohol or take drugs.
I went to my md almost a year and a half ago with body aches and back pain, after asking the questions and finding out I had a significant loss her diagnosis was depression, I tried all the meds. every time I went I told her the depression could not be causing all these physical problems, she refused to do x-rays or mri, my partner went with me to all my appts. and even had a conversation where my Dr. told us that I was just making excuses, I told her I would not be back to her, someone recommended i see a chiropractor, my pelvis was uneven, the part of my spine in my neck that should be curved is completely straight and the vertabre and discs are compressed in my lower back, which is what was causing all my physical problems. I have had to quit work because of this, not to mention the bad care and wrong diagnosis from my dr.
Does any one know if I have a case, I’m not trying to get rich or destroy a Dr but she cost me a lot of money and I think I should be compensated
I have had a number of conditions over the past few years that have gotten to the point now of being almost disabling. I’ve had terrible insomnia, a lot of joint and nerve pain, cramping of muscles, headaches, recurrent sore throat and swollen glands, and depression. At my doctor’s visit the other day, she ordered a lot of tests, and told me it very much sounded like chronic fatigue syndrome. I’m not that familiar with it yet, and don’t really want to delve into too much information until I have a diagnosis, but I do want to know about my latest symptom. I experience extreme fatigue from very simple self-care tasks, like brushing my teeth or hair. Ieven get tired and feel pain in my jaws and throat from chewing my breakfast cereal, or just talking for a few minutes. And I feel so weak when I do these things. I’ve had great difficulty cooking, because I can’t stir well or open bottles and jars. Just typing this question has my wrists and fingers worn out. Is this typical for CFS?
I know the difference is being able to prescribe meds but…. which is the better treatment for this diagnosis?
Depression is one of the most devastating illnesses in the world. A lot of people still suffer from it despite existing treatments. What new treatments do you think will become widely available in the near future?
Hi, Out of curiosity I took an online depression test and it says I am severely depressed and should seek immediate help. I answered it all very honestly but I thought it was just a rubbish test. I took 2 others and one said the same and the other said I have mild depression.
I am a bit worried, I feel low in mood most of the time but I feel fine.
How seriously should online tests be taken?
Thanks
(These are the ones that I took)

I have had the same doctor for several years but have never talked with her about this. My psych. recommended I talk with my dr about my new diagnosis. What happens in a visit like that?
my name is Mike I’m 17 turning 18 in April. I’ve been seeing my new therapist Mallory for 6 ½ months now. she’s just an average life girl and she’s single. It’s very hard for me to really like someone like how I feel about Mallory. She’s so pretty, and great hearted. She’s 24 years old. (I like adult woman only) I really like her ALOT, and my feelings for her got stronger recently. If she was mine then I would treat her better than a queen. She doesn’t have a boyfriend. We are more than just therapist and client I feel and know we are friends in a way like I never had with ALL my past therapists. She works in a very small building with very few patients most of them are autistic because it’s a center for autism. IM NOT AUTISTIC AT ALL. I just go there to see a therapist and to figure out my diagnosiss, which is depression, ocd, and anxiety, but that’s not important. So i know ALL of this sounds insane that I wanna ask her out, and makes me look like a loser, but i really want her to be mine. I don’t just like her because she’s nice to me in session and listens to me, because that’s her job, I just REALLY like her. I really feel something towards her and she’s such a beautiful woman to me. I can tell we both really enjoy each others company, and she’s NOT A FAKE like other therapists. I can see it in her face that she gets upset when I tell her my tragic life events. We have things in common, and I really want her so bad. It’s not like I want just anybody. I heard from several people, including one of my teachers that the NY state dating age is 17, and Mallory and I live in NY so, so there’s a chance.
Mallory is gonna be graduating in June from college to be a school counselor and not going to be my therapist anymore. I’m thinking about asking her out RIGHT before she leaves, not when me and her are working together, but she is probably going to say no and other stuff. Who really would say yes to me? Lol. My parents wouldn’t mind Mallory going out with me. I know it seems wrong for my therapist to go out with me, but I really want her. But what should I say to her? How can I convince her in going out with me? I’m already writing up something for her on how I feel about her. Please answer my questions, this is a weird question. Thanks 10 points for best answer! Thanks
I am a 24 year old military wife & mother of two. I do take meds for depression (Wellbutrin XL-300mg) and also for ADD (Adderall-instant release tablets, 20mg X a day). From what my DR. has told me plus what I have read, BOTH of these medicines are suppose to help with the problem of just not having any energy (especially the Adderall which is given to patients with narcolepsy). It’s really weird…I can make a plan for myself & the true desire to do the things I need are there, but I just can’t seem to muster up the energy to get things done!! Do you guys have any suggestions on what could possibly be causing this OR any kind of home remedies that can help with energy (other then caffine, which doesn’t really do anything other then make me moody).
THANKS =]
I’m seeing my Primary Dr. today.
Heart palpitations and feeling mentally racy and not able to finish, always in a hurrty
Chest pain
Headache when very stressed
High blood pressure-The systolic (upper number) runs between 120 and 160 and the diastolic (lower number) runs between 90 and 106
Nausea
Depression only due to the severe pain I’ve been in for over six years
Ever since stopping the morphine and valium my blood pressure has been high.
Medications…
Flexeril muscle relaxer
Zofran for nausea
Suboxone keeps patients from taking opiate pain meds
Inderal high blood pressure
Celebrex anti-inflammatory & also works for pain
Trazodone sleep
Protonix acid reflux
Cymbalta depression I got from the pain meds. I’m not feeling depressed.
Lyrica muscles and fibromyalgia which I don’t have.
I took Inderal yesterday from my Primary Dr. but B.P. stayed high and went up a few hours later to 140/102. The Pain management Dr. I saw yesterday didn’t give me any ideas of what I could have but I see my Primary Care Dr. today.
If it’s anxiety what’s the treatment?
I’m a mom of three kids who I drive to and from school everyday.
I know yahoo isn’t a medical dr. but does anyone have any ideas?
I want to get off most meds but my Dr. won’t give me valium for anxiety symptoms and she says it’s not for spasms. When I mentinoed anxiety to the nurse she said Dr. won’t give it to me. Since no valium, I’ve had high B.P. and anxiety symptoms. I won’t go on pain meds cause of driving to and from private school. The meds I take now aren’t addicting nor make me sleepy. If any of them do then I don’t take them. Lyrica and Flexeril doesn’t cause me drowsiness. No bus or friends close by enough from the school. We are farthest from private school. Hubby works 24 hr. shifts so I have no choice but to drive. If I go back on pain meds insurance won’t cover them and I will be more absent from the meds making me sleepy.
