I went on the bus, went shopping, and then ate pizza with my hands without washing them! I can't believe it. Spring is officially here in Boston but I am totally panicked that I've screwed myself and...

I've never been prescribed zofran, but it sounds like if you explain that you are vomiting that regularly from IBS, convincing your physician shouldn't be an issue. It's not like you're asking for an...

This was me a week ago with zoloft - I even posted a thread about it here! It's doable if you remind yourself it'll get better. The worst of it really was just one day, day three maybe. Eat small...

I took prozac as a teenager and the only side effect I had was I got really hot sometimes. My doctor just put me on zoloft for my anxiety, which is the same category of meds, and the first few days...

Everything in moderation. If I didn't have caffeine, I'd probably be incapacitated whenever I got a migraine. Too much of it, I feel sick to my stomach and shaky. I have tapered myself off of...

I am worried about you stopping your drinking cold turkey if you are used to consuming alcohol every day. Withdrawing from alcohol can be fatal when you are physically dependent on it. I don't want...

I won't be able to grab one till after work... but Im definitely gonna pick one up so this doesn't happen again. I'm doing accupressure points on my wrist and that's helped a little. I haven't had...

Ugh, I'm stuck at work for the next 5 hours and while this hasn't happened to me in a long time, I'm having the worst PMS symptoms ever. I am fairly certain its PMS because my period is due soon. But...

Hi Donna,

I'm a clinical social worker working at a psych hospital. I work on a detox where patients are v*ing all the time. If it's not because they are detoxing, it's they are ill - many are...

So I live in a tiny two bedroom apartment in the city. My roommate and I don't share rooms, but we share a bathroom. She said she felt bad on Sunday and woke up Monday and was dizzy, cramping and...

I hear things all the time when I'm really riled up and trying to relax. Don't worry, you're not crazy. It's a result of your obsessive thinking and your anxiety, which is clearly heightened at...

So last week I had horrid almost all liquid D one night, complete with cramps/urgency beforehand. I woke up the next day feeling nauseated and panicked and I did not go to work. This proved to be a...

I now can't get warm and all my joints ache ontop of these symptoms.

I am not sure if my anxiety has given me an ulcer or what. I always wake up with N/panic, But for the past few days I've had burning cramping pain beneath my rib cage (went away somewhat when I ate)...

I know what you mean. My family just had it and even though they live one state away from me I panicked all over again!

I'm kind of hungry... what kind of food should I have for lunch? I usually eat veggies/salad everyday but I'm afraid that'll be too hard on my stomach today.

I've had d* twice this AM, although it wasn't straight water, just loose. I feel dizzy and I'm burping. I was a little hungry, but I ate half a bowl of cheerios and had to stop because the 2nd d*...

Now my aunt has it as well. My cousin was the first to come down with it, she's a NP at a community health center, then the baby which everybody takes care of. Ahh. I need it to be April.

I'm really hoping Boston's outbreak has moved on!! My family lives in RI. On the bright side, I've lost 12 pounds from being so anxious/only eating certain things but... I'd rather be 12 pounds...

My cousin, her husband, their baby, and now my younger brother all have noro! They live a state away but of course I'm still terrified. There's no way I could get it from them since I missed it by a...

Gas X doesn't seem to work for me anymore. I wonder if because over the years I've used it so much. I still have heartburn-y/gas/uncomfortableness so I took a Zantac and hope that will help. Does...

I am not gluten free and don't have a gluten allergy. However my coworker brought in gluten free cornbread cupcakes with raspberry frosting and I had one. I've never eaten anything gluten free...

The sad part is I know all this stuff- I've worked in drug and alcohol for three years, am licensed by the state as a counselor and am in grad school for a masters in clinical social work. But my...

So I've had a cold for the past 3+ days with HORRID post-nasal drip. For the past two nights the n* from all the mucus in my stomach has woken me up in the middle of the night, although Pepto seems...

My anxiety about everything peaks in the nighttime, then I wake up with in the morning. I've found that exercising after work has decreased the nighttime stress a tiny bit.
