Ok im a 16 year old male going 17

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THIS IS, WHAT WOULD YOU DIAGNOSE ME WITH?
I am going to the doctors on thursday but just to get an example of what the doctor might say please could you tell me what you think it is by reading the symtoms i had?

SORRY THIS IS SOO LONG!

HIV/AIDS/STD/ CHLAMYDIA/HARPIES
Paedophilia / Gay / Bisexual / Incest / Rape – Unwanted Perverted sexual thoughts
Schizophrenia Thoughts/ Fear of hearing voices / Hallucinating – fear of seeing and communicating with imaginary human
Bi Polar Disorder
Anal Cancer – because of Blood in stool

Obsessive/Repeated Thinking or fear of my own thoughts – 2009 onwards
Repeated Checking and counting
Washing hands for at least 5 minutes or over. – Germs
Intrusive and Evil Thoughts
Anorexia – Obsessive about gaining more weight – Fear of eating too much – look bigger when looking in mirror – obsess about what I ate during the day, and have repeated thoughts on counting how many things I ate during the day. Often do this every day and think this like 6 times in 2 hours and the thought stays with me for 3 minutes at least. I stand in front of the mirror for about 6 minutes at least because I’m not sure if I look smaller. Even though that my clothes are now bigger because of exercise and diet.
Fear of losing my mind – getting mentally ill or losing control – going insane
Shaking, Trembling and facial twitching/ finger fiddling
Feeling hot then cold
Shortness and difficulty of breathing / Feeling restless/ panic makes me sweat lots and hot feeling around body.
Fear of watching scary videos incase of triggering schizophrenia.

Numb in areas of my body
Fear of being mentally immature – mental age of 10
Worrying about health and hygiene
‘Electric shock’ feelings (anywhere in the body)
Distorted vision
Suicidal feelings
Eye or brain tricks – Seeing Spots/Light Flashes/Black Things and seeing unknown things from the corner of my eyes.
Movements from the corner of my eyes
Optical Illusion – movements
Fear of being in a mental home – Fear of going to the doctors
Hard to concentrate on something when having anxiety
Sometimes it is hard to get hold of my thoughts. – I can’t think well when I am constantly worrying over and over about the same thing.
I can’t trust what I see because I don’t know if it’s real or not.
I need a lot of reassurance to get me through the worries
Fear and obsess about sleep eating disorder
Fear of torturing people
Fear of becoming a child abuser
Difficulty swallowing
Change in appetite
Startled very easily
Tired all the time
I Google my symptoms online which triggers even more worrying. I spend most times researching symptoms online/books and dictionaries
I joined loads of online forums and found that other people’s experiences help me get rid of the fears and phobias for a while. And often need reassurance
I am very aware of all my symptoms and I think there is something wrong with me. And I am not normal.
When in a panic mode, I often reassure myself I am normal in my head, I also sometimes whisper the word, “I’m Normal” Or tell myself not to worry e.g. “Don’t Worry” which sometimes helps.
Fear of puberty going wrong or fear of something abnormal stopping it.
Wet dreams – I used to have wet dreams and obsessed about it until i was told it was normal for teenagers. Before i knew it was normal for them to stop I used to go through some rituals.
Numbers – on the TV volume, I like even numbers and I usually like numbers from multiples of 5
Sensation – that i am falling of the bed or somone is pulling me backwords when i am asleep.

Thank You in advance

Hello, I have been having changing symptoms over the past 2 months and it is almost impossible to get a diagnosis. I’ve had endoscopy, colonoscopy, blood tests. The pain started in my left side lower, It was an ache I could feel it when I would bend down. I had a very swollen vein in my left testicle that morning. The swollen vein went away that day, but the ache lasted for a month. I finally went to the doctor and had a ct scan done, everything was normal except 2mm possible kidney stone in left kidney, which "shouldn’t be causing any pain."

Well now for the past month the right side of my ribs has a bad pain when I lean back, I also feel nauseous throughout the day (I am not sure if this rib pain is making me feel unwell, but I have no desire to puke.) Had a kidney ultrasound and gallbladder ultrasound, all okay.

Sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the night and feel like my left leg is VERY weak, hard to explain. There is something going on, but I cannot find the answer. I almost feel a numbness senstation somtimes. I do not have much anxiety, mentally I feel fine.. although the last doctor kept saying it was anxiety. Well if that’s true, why can I not even throw a ball without this shooting pain under my right rib? Where do I go from here?

Could there be some sort of blood clot somewhere in my body causing this? What tests should I have done?

So I’m a 15 year old female that weighs 99 pounds and is 5′3". I know I don’t weigh much but my lower stomach has a bulge. It’s visible too. So I just want to get rid of the bulge and nothing more. I get teased at school for it sometimes, especially afterschool when my drill team shares the gym with the dance team.

I have scoliosis, Tietze’s disease and kidney stones. All of these prevent me from doing a hardcore workout or run. I could do it but afterwards the pain is too much. Also I get nauseous around food so I only eat when I feel really hungry.

Basically I just need some easy excercises that won’t hurt my ribs too much. Also if it matters I do take birth control.

I had been taking Topamax for migraines. I was on 400mg a day and it helped really well, but recently found I have a kidney stone due to using Topamax so I am trying to find a different med. I can take for it. For those of you that don’t know, Topamax is used to prevent migraines, not to help with the pain. If anyone has personal experience I would prefer your answer. I don’t want answers like imitrex, maxalt, zomig, as these are to treat the pain after you have gotten a migraine. I want an answer for a med to prevent the migraines. Thanks in advance.

I’ve been on Vicodin the past few days for a kidney stone and every morning I’ve been waking up with a headache and I just feel so tired and drained all day, even though I haven’t taken any Vicodin at all today.
Also, I am only taking 1 or 2 5mg Vicodin a day (if that) and the next day I feel like this.

Is this normal or is it caused by something other than the Vicodin?

I’ve had a pretty difficult past few yrs. I was in 2 year relationship and I found out I was pregnant. When I was 3 months pregnant I found out that my best friend took advantage of me when I was drunk. ( I should have been more responsible). His sister e-mailed me and told me that her brother told her that my baby might be his. I told boyfriend about it and he stood by myside. Then on Christmas eve he broke up with me. Minding you I just turned 9 months. He blew me off for the rest of the time but only went with me to my prenatal visits. 3days before my son was born he started dating this girl from work. And kept lying to me about he just needed to to himself. A couple days later we tooka paternity test and found out that he was not the father. I was devistated and went into a form of depression. I was so blinded by everything that he would tell me after that with all the " I Love You’s" & the "I dont want to be with her" and messing with my head, he continued to have a whenever-he- felt-like-it- relationship with me. Then I became pregnant by him and he had me have an abortion because he didnt want it and I couldn’t take care of another child. But by the time i went to have the procedure done, i have an ectoptic pregnancy and had to have the procedure done regardless. Then few months later I met my husband. At first we didnt look at each other in any sexual kind of way since we both just came out of pretty bad relationships. The first week we talked non-stop, about anything and everything. He fell in love with my son from the day he met him. 2 months later we got married. Everything happened so fast. From the time we got married my husbands help went down hill. We got married in September. In september he found out he had kidney stones, October Pnemonia, November atrial fibulation (which is very rare in a 24yrs old.) December, upper respiratory infection that lasted 2weeks. January his Gerd and acid reflex was really bad. April he had another upper respiratory infection and found out he has asthma. This monday he just had surgery because he had an inguinal hernia. in December he got laid off from work. And we had to move back to my parents house in April, (due to financial problems.) July he decided to go back to school for his Bachlors’ in Business Management & got his job back working part-time. I just graduated from Medical Assisting and got my diploma last months. I can’t afford daycare so I can work or have anyone in my family that can watch him until I can find a daycare i can afford. Then being a first time mom while my sons going through his teribble two’s at one, and getting spoiled by my parents. I still havent found a job yet. Then my husband is also a rapper and put his dreams aside and decided that now is the time to start. He’d leave the house at 8′oclock and wont come back until 4 in the morning. I dont know what to do. My family tells me thats not good, and i trust & love him but have second thoughts. Can anyone give me advice on how to cope with stress?

Basics about me: I’m in my early 20s. I’m relatively healthy, I currently have kidney stones I’m trying to pass (this is definitely not kidney stone pain!). I’m sexually active. I’ve been on Ocella birth control for 3yrs. I have no children, nor have I been pregnant.

Friday this pain started on my left side that just seemed like REALLY bad cramps. I pretty much just tried to ignore it as best as possible and go about my life. Tonight, uh yesterday at about 8 I started feeling the pain again. I went to the restroom and it felt better. Then it started feeling a lot worse about 2hrs later. So I took some ibuprofen, which knocked me into sleep. My fiance woke me up to take my regularly prescribed medication and to get out of my day clothes at 3am. And I’ve been awake since running to the bath room trying to urinate and having general stomach upset. The pain is in my pelvis region on the left side. I can feel it threw my back just above my buttocks and it reaches down my insides towards my vaginal and urinary canal openings and to my left leg at my groin at time times. I will more the likely try to make a doctors appointment Monday (definitely will if it continues), but I just need some relief from my pain so finding out what it could be would help me figure out a way to temporarily relieve my pain enough to sleep and go out tomorrow.

My urine test showed some blood, but no sign of infection. I am not having any other symptoms (besides pain in my side, which is why I went to the doctor to begin with).
Today I’ve had a low-grade fever of 99.5 and I just feel really worn out and tired.
What could this mean? If I had some kind of infection, wouldn’t my pee smell/look weird or something?
Also, there is a small chance I am pregnant…is a low grade fever a sign of pregnancy??
Thanks….

I’m a 14 year old girl (5′1, 88lbs) I HATE HOW I LOOK
I’m extremely bony, I SO want to gain weight (I had an eating disorder a few months ago)
i want to gain HEALTHY weight (muscle)..So I’m on a high protein and carb diet. I ONLY eat healthy foods. I very rarely eat junk. plus I exercise 3 days a week (20-30mins of cardio 45mins/1hr strength training) I also take 1hr pilate classes 5-6 days a week..

I was just wondering if It would be safe for me to use protein powder for after my workouts..Can I use it? or am I too young? what if I just use HALF a scoop instead of a whole one? I’m thinking about buying this
http://eas.com/product/100-pct-whey-protein-powder

I heard that more protein helps your growing process as your a teenager. is that true?..but then again I heard lots of protein causes kidney stones (my mom has them) but I drink a lot of water so I think i’m good..Do you think taking protein will benefit me at all?

I found this very informative and thought my contacts might want to live a longer life so please read this:

EATING FRUIT…

It’s long but very informative

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It’s not as easy as you think. It’s important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let’s say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil….

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining – every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc – actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice – drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don’t even drink juice that has been heated up. Don’t eat cooked fruits because you don’t get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene – the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this ’sludge’ reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

I’m a 15 year old female
Two nights ago I got this dreadfull joint pain, it was the most painfull thing I’ve ever experienced.
Now im left with Fever, mild mustle pains rather dizzy and I get chills from time to time. I had most the symptoms except bloody urine, but it did sting alot when I tried to pee, and I puked 7 times, puked water 4 times, I THINK i puked a few drops of blood, not sure if it was the pizza sauce but the fact I puked seven times including the water I couldnt possibly have any food left in me.

These are the symptoms i have..

Urinary tract infections (fever, chills, loss of appetite).

Tenderness in the abdomen and kidney region;(Not sure, feels rather soft and I think i feel some kinda popping like mustle)

Pain during urination (stinging, burning);

Nausea and vomiting;

Increased frequency of urination; I couldn’t pee but I felt like I had to, it was blocked pretty much.
Oh and I did have cloudy urine, Im guessing that meant i did have a bacteria
I hardly have Obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms stop trying to give pathetic incorrect answers.
