It's a sort of bi-polar disorder.  I worked with a gal that had it, she was very bright, however when she did not take her medicine, she became very anxious, confused, suicidal, and worrisome.\n\nIt's like a panic disorder, look at the link below.\nIndividuals with AS can exhibit a variety of characteristics and the disorder can range from mild to severe. Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. They have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language) and very often the individual with AS has difficulty determining proper body space. Often overly sensitive to sounds, tastes, smells, and sights, the person with AS may prefer soft clothing, certain foods, and be bothered by sounds or lights no one else seems to hear or see. It's important to remember that the person with AS perceives the world very differently.

Yes I'm afraid it is.  Many diorders have coinhibitors.  These other diagnosis that aren't necessarily guaranteed, but that you have a higher chance of having with another disorder.\n\nA bit like if you have chicken pox it is common that you may also get a fever, headache etc.  But you can still have chicken pox without those other ailments.\n\nI'm sorry, but the fact that you have been diagnosed is the biggest hurdle to get over.  Accept all the help you can.  And remember,none of these disorders are terminal.  Good Luck!

I too have this condition, along with my older brother, a son, a nephew , and my now deceased father .   All you may want to know about your condition can be found in the current issue of Consumer Reports issue of "onHealth" Volume18 Number 1 - page11. Learn to live with it as all of us have done except for my father.  Physicians did horrible things to him in search of a cure and he shook till he died at 80.

Your mother may be going through menopause...Women go through it at various ages but usually not until close to 50...Also, she could be experiencing side effects from a medication...What can you do to get your relationship back on track?  Confide in her about  how you feel when she acts this way...Try to find out why "freaking out" is a part of her personality, now..Try to be understanding...

Is there a history of it in your family?......\nThere is always a possibilty but its more likely a way to rule it out.\nDon't worry until you have a reason to......Good Luck !!!!!

My sympathies are with your mum. We readily accept men's thinning problems but for women it must be a nightmare. \nNourkrin has been widely advertised recently and it's available in many forms from shampoos etc to tablets. The tablet form is expensive and in my experience the shampoos and conditioners don't really help this condition unless the cause is fungal and that's unlikely.\nBut the very fact that you've bought her a treatment will reassure her that you're taking her condition seriously. This might help her to stop worrying about it and that's a good thing because stress can accelerate the thinning process. Include with your present a hair lacquer that has thickening qualities. They are available.\nBest of luck.

My heart goes out to you. It must be hard to hear what you have described. \n\nI feel scared for you if your Mom is saying you are fat at a size 0 and you are starting to believe her. This sounds like possible emotional abuse. If she means you no harm, then it sounds like an attitude from someone who has Anorexia . It is a very difficult, yet treatable condition if the person seeks help. No matter what your Mom says or does, I hope you see a school counselor or doctor about this very soon for your own safety. They can help you find out if you have Anorexia, and can help you if some verbal / emotional abuse is going on. \n\nI've met some people who don't have an eating disorder and genuinely cannot gain weight even when they try to. This is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. A professional can help you find some answers. \n\nI wish you the best.

sure i've heard of it.  but i'm in med school so that's expected.  however, my gramma did have it a while back.  apparently, it's probably just about the most awful thing you can suffer from.  you're constanly sick and dizzy no matter what you do.  i'd probly kill myself if i got it.

ok, well my little bother has got mild asperges syndrome. asperges syndrome is a type of autism. children [and adults] with this can often find it hard to concentrate. sarcasm can not always be properly understood and they find it harder to read emotions. there are varying degrees of it though. \nmy brother was also born through ceserean, but i dont know if it affects it. my brother was also given the tripple mmr vaccine which my other brother [without autism] didnt recieve. it is much more common in boys than in girls.\nremember he is still your brother and dont treat him any differently than you used to, maybe it is not so bad as they only found it when he was 11! i dont know though, i myself am only 14! :s\nummm just help your mum around your hme with washing tidying and try nt to do anything that would annoy her, eg) staying out late and so on, but just try and carry on as normal. a good book is 'the curious incident of the dog in the night time', by Mark Haddon im not saying youre brother will turn out like this ki, chances are he wont, but it shows the pros and cons of asperges syndrome. add me on msn or emailme if you just want to talk, wonderhat@hotmail.com\ngood luck! hope everything turns out ok for you\nactualy\ni KNOW it will!\nxxx\nxx\nx

The only way to find out is to go to your psychiatrist (and ask your mom to be with you). He/she can figure out what's wrong and if you have it, can put you on medication - which may be a long process before you find the right one, or may not. I find it strange that he/she never noticed other symptoms, unless you haven't been talking much.

Yes, I would advise you to visit a doctor. If nothing else it will give you more information and piece of mind on your condition.

sounds like either chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia.\nOr could be depression or hypothyroidism.\nActually that is what I had before I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism.\nYOu can and should order the blood test for this at \nhttp://www.healthcheckusa.com\n\nWhat you describe is hypothyroidism, under active thyroid gland and ten percent of all people in the US have it, especially women. VERY common and causes what you are describing but doctors donot check for it much for some reason. YOu can order the TSH test for it yourself at that link I gave you.It also runs in families so if your daughter and sister had it I do believe it is hypothyroidism.

You really need to discuss your options with your doctor.\n\nHowever from experience, my mother was diagnosed with it as well when she was 40.  She started taking Lenoxin and has been taking it ever since.  She's 73 now...and still well and "kickin'."

No one really knows for sure.  It's thought to be a combination of things from the way your brain behaves to the way you were raised.  We just don't know.\n\nI take it you haven't been formally diagnosed.  If not, please talk to your doctor.  There's nothing to be ashamed of and your doctor won't judge you.  Here's a link to help you understand a little of what you may be dealing with:

My mum had the same problem.  It turned out she had nasal pollops. I can't really tell you much about them.  My mum had them quarterised, and this stopped the problem.  It might be worth asking your GP?
