I have just started on Orlistat 120mg today, need to lose about 3 stones to even think about calling myself healthy.
What is constituted as being low in fat??
I am really worried about the old toilet habits that I have read about while taking these tablets.
What this food focus everyone talks about can someone put me right?
View 1 RepliesI've been on orlistat for 4 days now and really really want to do well as I've been so depressed for the past year and suffer quite badly with anxiety which links in with my weight...
As a consequence it's pretty important for me to get this right and do what I can to lose what I can.
Can people give me any ideas for evening meals as I'm kinda struggling and don't want to get bored!
I've had a toilet phobia for years now since I was like 15 and now I'm 21. It's embarrassing to talk about like I really hate it and it stops me from doing a hell of a lot things.
I'm really pouring my heart out here and I'm trying to meet people just like me with the same thing or similar as I've never met anyone like me before and I know there is people out there the same as me.
Basically I can't go anywhere without thinking about the toilet, I won't go anywhere unless I know there's a toilet there. I won't travel anywhere with other people because I'm scared what they may think with me going to the toilet all the time. My mind makes me think I need the toilet. It forms into panic and anxiety attacks so it's very hard to deal with. It's a horrible fear and it angers me to admit that the whole embarrassment is the fear of me obviously weeing myself. I've never done it but it's the fear that takes over.

The reason I'm here is because every time I'm having a conversation with anybody (and even while i'm on my own) my mind keep thinking about a lot of other things, making me lose focus on what's going on in the moment and making me forget important stuff due to the fact that while I was being told these important details, my mind was just jumping to other less relevant issues.This situation has been a big problem in my life recently and I'm wondering if this is a common situation and how to treat/solve it?
View 1 RepliesNot really sure where to begin...wasn't at all sure what was wrong with me until I started reading that my symptoms were connected to the menopause...Unfortunately I am experiencing the lot in some form or other...anxiety is extreme and panic attacks regular...moods are erratic..can't focus or think straight and there appears to be a sense of doom follows me around..I also suffer from severe heavy periods which take a lot out of me for 2 of the 4 wks of the month so am not in a very good place just now! I am generally NOT this type of person and am really struggling with all this but not sure where to begin
I was given HRT which I only lasted 3wks with as I began to take migraines again which I hadn't suffered from for a lot of yrs
I am really keen to try the alternative/natural route but I don't seem to be improving at all with what I am taking
If anyone hasn't lost the will to live reading this I am also being considered for hysterectomy which to me is a very viable option and would like to hear from anyone who has had the surgery and how it was for them.
been on and off weed for 2 years i no thats not long and i'm only 19 but i was already an over emotional person i had anxiety really bad and found weed helped but later on it doesn't so i've decided to quit and not go down the path my father did.
i go threw intense mood swings angry sad crying happy within an hour, lash out, interupt people's conversations, can concentrate on anything, intense intense anxiety i can't sleep literally just had a panic attack my body was trembling and i felt dizzy and sick, ie hd mates quit no worries so why is it so hard for me. was a very very heavy smoker i'm scared i did irreversible damage and i have one mate left that's helping me get thru it but she is loosing it to.....
im super sensitive to everything i don't know why like certain foods are making my lips sting and if i have sugar or asian food before bed i can sleep at all, i'm hungover and have had 2 hours sleep and i'm not even tired, does drinking make it worse... i've been working out and getting up at like 7 so somedays its okay..... i've only had a joint in the past 2 weeks..
quit 2 weeks ago or so which i'm well chuffed about but just wanted to know if other people have had racing thoughts or thoughts being jumbled up like really hard to focus on job at hand? either near the end of their smoking habit or when coming off it.
View 1 RepliesI experience frequent migraine attacks lately. One time when the migraine attacked, I tried to sleep to somehow ease the pain. However, When I woke up at dawn I was surprised that my left eye could not see. What I just saw with my left eye was complete darkness. It lasted for 2 to 3 minutes. Thus, I decided to undergo MRI of my brain with MRA with contrast and below is the findings:
Negative for restricted diffusion. Small focus of t2 weighted and flair bright signal is noted in the right frontal lobe, gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. No abnormal parenchymal nor meningeal enhancement. No discrete mass noted. There is no evidence of discrete vascular malformation or aneurysm. Midline structures are in place. The ventricles are normal in size and configuration. The sulci and cisterns are not affected. The stellar/juxtasellar, pineal region, cerebellum-pontine angle, craniovertebral junction are unremarkable. The cerebellum and brainstem are intact. Intracranial angiography shows adequate visualization of the anterior , posterior cerebral, anterior communicating, posterior communicating, and middle cerebral arteries. There is tiny suspicious saccular outpouching in the a1 segment of the left anterior cerebral artery. No discrete aneurysm or tangle of vessels in the rest of the vessels. The rural sinuses are patent. The para nasal sinuses included nasopharyngeal and orbits and tympanum astounds are intact.
Impression:
1. Nonspecific focus of solitary white matter bright signal right frontal lobe
2. Consider tiny aneurysm in the a1 segment of the left anterior cerebral artery
3. No acute hemorrhage, infarct or mass lesion.
May I know the meaning of the above mentioned findings?
My blood calcium level is 10.6. So far what I've read on the Internet it looks like parathyroid disease but I'm not sure. I just tested again on calcium and the parathyroid but I won't know anything till next week and I'm going out of town tomorrow and I know I won't be able to enjoy myself like I should worrying about this. So I have all the symptoms like painful joints, unable to focus, tired, dizzy, tingling legs and feet and easily set off. But what worries me is that a year ago it was discovered I have an enlarged pituitary gland that I haven't followed up on and I've read something about that. Also I am a smoker so does anyone know if I would feel like this if its cancer. I've had issues with my neck for awhile. It was swollen a couple of years ago to where it felt like a golf ball in the back. Now it feels tight in the front. Could it be throat cancer?

View 1 RepliesSo I woke and went to take a shower. Like usual the water made me pee and it stung really bad and now it hurts to piss. But jokingly I told myself that I broke my penis. Then I tried to get an erection and I can't do it and the lower part of my stomach hurts. The pain is right before my pubic hair. And my main concern is that I can't get hard and I'm only 16 what do I do.
View 1 RepliesAfter a bout of constipation early this year (I was on a liquid diet because of a throat issue and didn't consume much fiber for 2 weeks), I had 2 bowel movements with a little bright red blood either on the stool or the toilet paper. Started consuming more fiber, it got better for a few months...2 months ago, had a day where I hardly had any water during the day (was out and busy and it just slipped my mind except when I was super thirsty), then I had a little bright red blood again. Today, I was riding a bike, my butt started to hurt. Shortly thereafter, I pooped with a little blood on it. My mom has battled hemorrhoids since she was in college. Do you think I have hemorrhoids or should I be more worried?
No vomiting or diarrhea, no unexplained weight loss or fatigue, no consistent changes in stool size or shape...On occasion, I'll feel a burn when pooping.
Can u get chlamydia from someone's dirty toilet water splashing on your penis head?

View 19 RepliesI am 24 years old and for the past month I have been experiencing increased gasses and watery stools. I have scheduled a check up with a doctor, but have to wait a bit since I am abroad. Naturally, I have googled quite a bit to see what can it be. Today I had a weird stool. I had a not so firm brown stool while it was surrounded with black toilet water. Is this blood? On internet I found that released blood should be red, while if it is upper in the body it should be combined with feces so I am puzzled.
View 1 RepliesMy nuvaring fell out in the toilet after only being in for one to two days. I didn't realize it for a day or so. I was on vacation so couldn't get a replacement. I have been bleeding ever since it fell out. Will the bleeding stop? Or will I bleed for a month?
View 1 RepliesI suffer a bit of OCD with this situation. But here goes...What are the chances of me becoming pregnant after wiping with toilet paper from a unisex toilet. It was in the home of a lady that does gym classes. I had to use the loo and wiped my vagina with toilet paper after peeing and then thought to myself oh no men live in this house, what if one had ejaculated and somehow it got on the toilet paper and I wiped with it. Is this possible? I know it seems irrational but to me it is a serious concern. Can you please offer advice? I'm also on Yaz birth control but I'm such a worrier, I sometimes think well what if Yaz failed for some reason? Do you ladies wipe your vagina with toilet paper in public bathrooms? I felt so stupid afterwards.
View 2 RepliesI went to have a drug test this past week for a job and I notice my urine was a bit on the dark side which it's normally not,but what freaked me out a little is what was floating in my urine. The best way to describe what it look like: look like pieces of toilet paper or a chunky piece of dandruff. How weird is that? Also anyone that deals with hot flashes.is there any of you that only experience them at bedtime?
View 20 Replieswhen I had vulvodynia in 2013, I researched everything that could be contributing to it. One thing was the chemicals in toilet paper. In order to produce the pulp from the wood to make the paper harsh chemicals are used, typically caustic soda and sodium sulfide. This "chemical pulp" is then bleached, the colour or scent may be added. Could these residual chemicals in toilet paper be contributing to the irritation experienced with VA? Would you put caustic soda (drain cleaner) or bleach on your vulva, even if you didn't have VA?
Since I had vulvodynia I have used toilet paper that is made without nasty chemicals and without bleach to wipe after I've had a wee.
So i Went To Use The Restroom Like 30 Minutes Ago & Wen i Wiped There Was A Slimy Bloody Spot On The Toilet Paper ! Was That My Mucus Plug Don't Know Bcz i Didnt Lose It Wit My First Baby ! & Am i Supposed To Go To The Hospital After i Lose It ?
