Okay, I’m eighteen years old and I’m not exactly sure what’s wrong with me. For the past few days, I’ve been having hunger pains… like I’m hungry even when I’m not. It seems to get a little bit better when I eat something, and the pains/discomfort seem to be worse at night. That’s been my main symptom. Additionally, I’ve been having a little bit of trouble swallowing (although I seem to have postnasal drip and congested nasal passages as well, which I will be seeing a doctor for). Last night I even came close to throwing up. I know part of it was my nerves because I wasn’t sure what was wrong (I used to have an anxiety problem which, until now, has been very well-controlled) and part was becuase I believe I have a stomach bug.
I’ve had these problems in the past, and I’ve had a barium swallow and an abdominal ultrasound done; nothing was found. I’ve also had difficult bowel movements for the past several months (which seemed to return to being regular once I started college, only to return to their infrequent pattern of every 3 or so days a few months later). I eat very healthy, plenty of fruits and vegetables, and I rarely drink anything other than water or milk. I’m just really scared… do I have a stomach bug on top of some potential acid reflux? I’m calling my GI first thing tomorrow morning, but until then, should I be really worried? Please help. Thanks!
** as a side note, I haven’t felt tired or the need to go to bed, really. I still do, obviously, but I never really FEEL tired. That, however, may be due to my lack of movement today because I wasn’t feeling well.
I apologize for all of this information, but I wanted to make sure I didn’t leave anything out. Thanks again!

Hey,
Ive had OCD my whole life ( 19 years old ), and I always thought I was just weird and never knew what it was until I was in High School when my teacher described her daughters problems with OCD and quickly realized that was what was wrong with me. I have always had terrible stress, on the outside I look fine and careless but I am really worrying about everything all the time, even things that make no sense or have any relevance to me or panic obsessively about the simplest of things.
I also do these really aggravating rituals I guess is what you call them and there are so many its nearly endless and very stressful for me. Some examples are completely stupid things like I for some reason dont like odd numbers and I can not ever write, type, or say the number 3, without typing 4 right after it. ( yes I did it just now too ) and I have no clue why. I also can not touch or use anything that is red, nor do I like writing the word as well as at the end of every sentence I constantly have to retype the last word or two over and over and its very frustrating. This sounds really ridiculously silly which is why I never mention it to anyone but I cant live like this much longer.
More things is this winding effect I have where if I turn one direction or do a whole 360, I have to turn all the way around the other way again. I also have a problem where I will repeat things I do A LOT. Kind of the same way I retype words over and over I will sometimes step backward a few steps when I am going somewhere or walking up a stairs. Or if I bump into an object, I have to bump into it again or it will terrorize me the rest of the day until I do it. Flipping lights on and off too I find myself doing and have been questioned by friends and family over doing that one. /sigh On a more obvious note, I have the need to wash my hands quite often, or fear eating something someone else had touched like its contaminated. I know nothing is there, but I keep thinking it and it will keep going through my head.
I used to have this really bad problem where I would constantly clear my throat all the time for many years and I was taken to the doctor a few times to see what was wrong but never figured it out. I dont do it quite as much now but there was always small things that really bothered me and having to constantly clear my throat was one as well as socks being torture always bugging me for some unknown reason. Its just as bad nowunfortunatelyy with everything else. Its hard to even sleep alot of the times because I am alwaysuncomfortablee like the sheet touching my leg, or the pillow touching my neck somewhere or just even my arm touching the bed a certain way. I dont know what the deal is but its a pain when I am trying to fall asleep. Shirts really bug me as well. Shirts really bother me so bad that I have to wear at least two shirts so itdoesn’tt bug me as much but I just simply can not stand the way it touches my neck, shoulder, chest, whatever. Its like my touch sensory is all whack.
I really dont want to talk about this next part but it was brought to my attention this is possibly a symptom of severe OCD instead of thinking what I thought I was… going crazy, and being a complete nut job. I find myself from time to time, more often than I like, I get completely random and uncontrollable thoughts and images in my head. I dont know why or where they come from but I get really freaky or scary things like the sudden thought of killing someone like shooting a family member or beating someone or thoughts like jumping out of my car while driving. I obviously do not want to harm anyone nor myself so I cant fathom why I have these thoughts. I guess I could be considered depressed due to all the stress and what I have to deal with and how much it is and always has ruined my life but suicidal is something I would never consider or murdering someone, yet the thoughts and sometimes images like it happening in my head just completely run through my head and I have to just try to blank them out.
There are so many more things that OCD causes me to due in terms of rituals ( literally could list about 100 or 200 more things ) but I just can not handle the stress anymore of dealing with all this and the endless panic, fear, and worrying about things that people normally dont worry about. Not many know about this, I have always tried my best to hide it as much as I could and sometimes people notice and I just try to cover it up, but I dont know what I should do. I obviously cant just do nothing anymore but I dont have any idea where I would even go or how I would even approach a doctor or calling to set up an appointment. I mean once you enter the room with the doctor do I just tell him I have OCD and its very bad I need help? I really dont want to talk to a total stranger, even if hes a doctor because all the problems I have from this OCD make me sound like a geniuine nut job. Not even my family members really know about this. I

So, for a few years I have been experiencing some “strange” symptoms.
The problems I have been experiencing are:
-”Paranoid” feelings. I believe that people can hear my thoughts, that there are cameras in my bathroom, that people are spying on me, that everyone is out to ruin my life (even strangers!) and that everyone is staring at me because they know my secrets. I even have to delete my innocent computer history because i fear it will be used against me!
-Strange feelings in my body.. like i sometimes get a smell of poison or burning, and I feel like people are poking me, and I see ghost like figures.
-When I talk, I just don’t make sense to the world. I mean, I know what I’m saying, but no one else does. I could just go on and change subject every few seconds or just repeat words.
-I am constantly down in the dumps/angry/irritable. Sounds are too loud.
-I have NO motivation to go to school and learn.
-I can get lost from reality (the world in my mind feels more real than the world around me, and I hardly even feel real!)
-I laugh about things that are quite silly to laugh about. (like if a bag is moving in the wind) Sometimes I just can’t help but laugh.
-My memory becomes poor (I had to ask people about some of my symptoms too.)
-I am seen as emotionless/moodless. I have no facial expression and people always say *It wouldn’t kill you to smile, would it?* I’m hardly ever excited or happy. I can stay in my bed all day and just stare at the wall, lost in thought (or no thought).
-I just wish i could be alone all the time. I have some friends that I can talk to.
-I get hurt easily by criticism and sarcasm and now I don’t care for my health and well being.
-I burn myself.
I didn’t ever realize this was a problem! I mean the only reason I’m asking this is because people are bugging me about it lately
It’s so scary, and it’s probably worse than I described it to be. I’m worried that soon it will start to become very bad. It’s been a long steady climb and I think I’m starting to fall from reality.
My “mood symptoms” are not enough to be considered depression or mania i think?
Ps. I can’t change this myself. Not even people “knocking sense” into me can.
What does that sound like?

Ok I recently posted question after question about implantation bleeding and I have gotten back wonderful responses but I feel like they are only giving answers from what they hear rather than what they have experienced so please help me…I will once again explain my story.
Wednesday I had been cramping all day and I noticed my breast were real sore. My sister asked me if my period was coming on and seeing that I normally get these symptoms a few days before I replied to her saying yes. But as the day progressed I thought about it a bit more and I realized my period was not due for another 9 days
Later on I went to the bathroom and it was a pinkish discharge so I went online and I found out that that may be a sign of implantation bleeding. Before I went to bed i went to the bathroom again there it was again pink discharge. when I woke up the next morning once again pink discharge. It had bugged me all day so I went to the er that night. they did a pelvic examination but nothing came up as being out of the norm (no yeast infection) just bacterial vaginosis that I show no symptoms from (I did my research)
Im pretty normal with my periods they come on every 28 days and last 7 days my symptoms do not kick in until 2 or 3 days before my period. My daily eating nor resting habits have not changed a bit. I have never had an STD.
could this be Implantation bleeding so early?

I really need advice, I’ve seen 2 doctors this week and no onehelped me but my symptoms keep getting worse. I’m a 29 year old mom with 2 small kids at home. 6 months ago I was admitted into the hospital for a 5mm kidney stone and they found I still have 3 left in my right kidney. These cause me pain quite often so my urologist had me on hydrocodone alot. At one point I was on it for a month straight (urologist’s orders) to stay on top of the pain and keep me out of the er until the other 3 stones pass. Well, due to the fatigue I felt (making my job as a mom more difficult) and the constipation, I decided to stop taking it. The withdrawls were terrible. I was referred to pain management where the doctor there immediately assumed I was a druggie (despite the fact that I see just 2 doctors and use1 pharnacy) and rather than putting me on a medication that was either non addicting or something that is easier to manage, he put me on suboxone. Although it eased my other withdrawal symptoms, I threw up for the 1st 3 days, then was in the process of passing a 3mm stone and nothing helped for the pain because if the suboxone so I spend days in bed crying hysterically. So these stones are my only medical issue, except for being diagnosed with Grave’s Disease in 2004 and is completelty under control.
So here’s the scary part for me. On Tuesday I woke u with terrible upper stomach pain so I was up from 2-4am. The next day my husband noticed I looked very pale and I was having a hard time holding a conversation with him. I fell asleep sitting up numerous times and at one point spilled juice on our brand new couch. Fell down2x while walking as if my legs gave out from under me.My husband took off of work for the first time in 10 years because I was feelimg so crummy. And I want to make it clear that I did see my GP this week who said my urine didn’t look too bad by suggested I go back on hydrocodne since she felt my weakness and vomiting could be caused by the pain. But I’m not in that much pain, I tried explaining that.
Well yesterday I went outside for the furt time in a few days and 3 minutes into my car ride broke out into a huge rash, with thousnads of bumps covering all of my skin exposed to the sun. As soon as I got to my sister’s house, 10 minutes away, my mom took one look at me and called an ambulance. By the time they got there my eyes were swollen shut. All they gave me was 35mg of benadryl and a steriod and the hives went away pretty quickly. They took some blood and kept me there 2 hours and let me go around 2pm. The only thing that came back abnormal on the bloodork was a slightly koe potassium levek, ehivh they hve me 4 pills for. On the walk back to to car, the hive s started to come back again, so it’s definately heat related.
I’m still dizzy today and have double vision. I’m planning on spending yet another dat in bed, does anyone have any idea on what can be going on with me or what could be goin on with me all of a sudden?
(almost done) As a surprise, my husband picked me up some icecream and a movie. Well I just remember his franticky trying to wake me and I coundn’t speak. I was slurrying my speech and he wanted me to go back to the er. I begged for him no to ecpecially since we have a 1 and 4y/o with all of thodr nasty bugs going arpunf now.
