50mg of diclofenac for bad period pain and i was meant to take paracetamol but i took 50mg tramadol by mistake i cant believe it im such an idiot will i die?

hey im not sure i dont drink often like once every few months but my friends are coming round at 9 and i want to have a drink with them will i be able i did google it and someone said it can cause death? im only talking about 3-4glasses of wine thats it

my daughter who is 3 has had a fever for 4 days now im getting worried because 4 days is really long for a fever? im taking her to the doctor first thing tomorrow today i thought the fever had broke because she woke up in a great mood and wasnt feverish she hasnt eaten much in the last few days but has been drinking loads and urinating normally, she has a slight cough she isnt vomiting but sweating a lot at night the fever responds well to child strenght ibuprofen i dont have to give it to her every 6 hrs because she only gets the fever at night she also has a blocked nose its not runny though

i dont have diabetes but i wanted to know can you develop diabetes at any time and do you have to be overweight to get the type 2 kind? also is tingling in the tips of fingers and body vibrations a symptom?

my nose is tingling on the inside it started about an hour ago i googled it and it says i have neurosclerosis and im scared my right eye is sore also feels like theres grit in it

ok so my mum was in hospital with a chronic leg ulcer she had her other leg removed 3 years ago because of this also, a year later another ulcer broke out so about two weeks ago she was admitted to hospital to treat the ulcer as it was getting worse and amputation was being considered but her doctor wanted to try every possible treatment first which was good. they did alot of tests done and discovered the ulcer was a rare type thats misdiagnosed a lot so it was treatable so she was started on steroids and IV antibiotics and a vacuum pump was put on the leg for the exudate she went through extreme pain with it and could not tolerate it she was screaming in pain so they took it off and the doctor shouted at her and said if you do not do as i say then you may find another hospital and doctor to treat he said this in front of a full ward of patients my mother cried i was in shock i dont think he had any right to treat her this way she said she would try any other treatment and he said to the nurse use full profore(compression) bandages she was discharged that day to come home and a few days later she found out from the phn(public health nurse) who changes the dressings that she was discharged from the ulcer clinic completely so she doesnt know what to now can anyone help

was she wrongly treated can a doctor do this?

its not as if my mother was impossible she is a lovely person she just couldnt put up with this kind of pain also she never got written confirmation to say she had been discharged

ok so im seriously not joking i know this is going to sound ridiculous i even feel silly posting this question, but for about a month or so ive been feeling weird vibration sensations in my groin and upper thighs and sometimes my legs, i dont feel any pain with it but i do have really bad pain on the middle left side of my back i dont know if its related or anything

i feel too silly to go the doctor incase they think im crazy

does anyone get this? is it dangerous? oh and its not my phone i dont keep my phone i dont have it switched on vibration setting never have done:)

just found a soft lump on the daughters calf its visible and doesnt seem to hurt when pressure is applied intend to take her to the doctor tomorrow morning i just wanted to know has anyone else ever had this do you think its cancer?

you can almost move it sort of its hard to explain

my doctor has arranged for me to have CBT for my OCD/hypochondria so yeah im happy that im going to be getting help, but im scared too because i dont know what to expect

can someone tell me how it works and if it does actually work?

has anyone been on seroxat and if so were the side effects as bad as everyone says

my doctor told me to take it at night 20mg to start off with and then shes gonna increase it is there anything i can do to minimize the side effects?

right so today i went to see the doctor for the 6th time in two months

it was a different doctor today i was having bad pains in my neck and ears

but despite what i said

she put me on seroxat? so im really down about it

she said i have OCD but i dont see how i can have it

i dont obsess over germs and wash my hands all the time and i dont count how many times i turn switches off and etc and btw im not being stereotypical or mean any offence to real OCD sufferers

my anxiety is about my health about dying i think about it around 10hrs a day thats the only thing i do think of and im sorry i could google ocd ive banned myself from googling medical stuff it makes me worse

ok so where do i begin? i cannot cope with myself anymore! really i just want to be the person i used to be:(

i have health anxiety or so im told even though i have not been medically tested ie, bloods,MRI

i have a constant metallic taste in my mouth that will not go away i brush my teeth like 7 times a day and no my gums are not bleeding

i feel nauseous most of the time and yeah i know anxiety can do that

i am aware that anxiety causes a lot of physical symptoms

im just sick of my doctor looking at me like im a crazy person

all he says is its anxiety get over it

i have been on medication lexapro, librium, diazepam, xanax

nothing works ive had CBT and therapy

i just wanna run away from myself

its caused arguments between me and my family they say its all in your head but how can they understand at all they dont feel the way i do at all

and this does sound like self pity i know it does i just wanna SCREAM really i do

i just want to know whats wrong with me and it seems that if you dont have a massive bank balance or if your not on private health care the doctors dont give a F**k

im not even gonna list my symptoms because it will only aggravate my anxiety and im sorry for the misspellings

my doctor put me back on lexapro for anxiety i thought i was doing so well being off it for almost a year now and then i started thinking i was dying and getting symptoms like i couldnt breathe aches pains everything really

i feel really weird now like nauseated and dizzy from the lexapro its only day 2 i know it takes weeks to work i just feel miserable now

i don't know where to begin, for the last 3 yrs ive suffered from anxiety, mostly centered around my health(hypochondria)

im always getting colds

headaches

aches in many places

fever almost all the time

i have ovarian cysts( so my doctor said)

basically i feel like crap all the time

i feel smothered with my breathing i feel like i can get air but i cant let it out(if that makes sense)

im always gassy (tmi sorry)

i often get constipated

i do drink enough water and i try and eat healthy

im slightly overweight by like 9-10lb

theres always eye floaters in my vision

face feels like its burning

i get a lot of ear infections

my nose clicks when i lay down

my doctor just wont listen at all

i know your thinking im crazy and i do feel it lol but someone please try and help

ok so im a hardcore anxious person i also think i suffer from hypochondria, i google all my symptoms all the time and as always google gives me the worst possible answers( i know im an idiot)

but to me these symptoms feel so real, i think my doctor thinks im a mental case tbh.

he doesnt check my breathing when i tell him im short of breath, ive gained weight and regardless of what diet im on i cant lose it, im not eating any more than i used to and my face feels like its burning all the time i get tightness in my throat and pains in my ribs when i breathe

i cant go back to my doctor because im sick of the way he looks at me as if to say "oh what do you want now"

it really gets me down when no one believes me and they think its all in my head i have random outbursts of crying i just feel miserable

im not on any medication i was on lexapro 15mg last year but my doctor weaned me off it because he said im too young to be on meds :/

ill be 25 next month and ive been feeling like this for about 3 yrs now

breakfast: coffee white/skimmed milk no sugar

pro-biotic yogurt with 6 small strawberries and a hand full of oats

lunch: homemade butternut squash soup and 4 small melba toasts

snack: handfull of yogurt covered raisins

dinner: tuna steak with salad( rocket and spinach leaves)

snack: a large orange and 2 crackers with lowfat cream cheese

ive also had 2litres of water and 3 cups of green tea today it just feels like alot to me

also everything ive mentioned is of the reduced fat or fat free variety(apart from the veg lol thats already fat free)

ok so today i woke up and my eyelids were kinda swollen and lately ive been feeling shortness of breathe, and just not feeling healthy so i put my symptoms into google and it came up with sarcoidosis which before today i didn't know existed im gonna go to the doctor tomorrow, but i just wanted to know if anyone out there had these symptoms and has been diagnosed with this disease because google has really confused me, other symptoms ive had and im not sure if they are related are sinus problems not feeling like im getting enough air blurry vision headaches, fatigue anxiety ear problems and many more i dont know if this is just the anxiety as ive always been a hypochondriac
