Ok so I have been suffering Severe Depression for the last 5 years and before that I silently dealt with being a sexual abuse victom from a family member which caused me to be extra angry and withdrawn but when I dealt with that and talked to the people around me it has turned to depression? I have been in and out of work I’m slowly becomming more and mor of a hurmit, I still hate the things that has happened to me.
I am a Christian and along with this comes certain beleives about what happens when you die so last time I seriously thought about the end I knew I was about to meet hell so in the end I ended up in a mental hosp ….This might be comming out all screwed up but if I wrote all the situations and stuff down, no one would ever be able to read it in a life time. I’m trying to be a good Christian so I quit Smoking ontop of that 12 weeks ago and its just weird that I got through that but now I gotta get off all the prescription drugs Im hooked on because I’m starting to up them and now I’m liking the feeling I get from them and it would be sooooo easy to go to sleep after golping a few, help where do I go I’m sooo screwed up!!!!! And I was a bit shamed out to say this but I can’t die cos I have a wife with 4 wee kids AND THAT SHOULD MAKE ME HAPPY!!!!!!!

Weird odd feeling in left shoulder blade area..?
hi, i’m male at the age of 25 and i was wondering if anyone would know the possible causes for such a feeling.

my left shoulder blade area seems to feel tired, i’m not sure if i can say numb but it just feels weird.. like sometimes it annoys me.. its like somethings there.

i work in an office and basically i sit in front of the computer every day and i can honestly say my posture isn’t great.

when i was young about 8 years ago I use to smoke cigarettes but after a while i quited for about 6 years or so and for some stupid reason i picked it back up last christmas which was 7 months ago. i’m trying to quit now and actually i havent smoked for 2 weeks already and im still fighting for it.

every time i smoke it seems this left shoulder blade sensation stands out a bit more but when i stop for a few days it goes away so for a while I was worried and it was one of the reasons why i wanted to quit. The doctor said it was just my bad posture and probably injured myself during gym. 3 months ago I asked him to give me an x-ray on my chest anyways and the results came out normal and completely fine.

Then I read online, saying how early stages of lung cancers can’t be detected so I don’t know if im just scaring myself to be honest.

I don’t have any unsual coughs, no chest pain, no pain when i breathe. Just this tingly weird feeling over my left shoulder blade area which bothers me. Sometimes when I’m too focused at my work or something I forget about it though. But recently its been there for a while and i mean ya its not pain but i just feel something there which is kinda annoying argh.

hope some one here could help out : ) thanks.

ps. atm im quitting smoking even though i havent smoked that long.. i started again december which was stupid but now im quitting for my health.

Everyone has their ways of quitting. If you were a smoker, how did you quit and why? Cold Turkey? Frame of mind? What sort of tactics did you try? Did you try anti-smoking products or just did it on your own? I’d like to hear everyone’s experience.

How long till the libido returns to “normal”?

After trying to quit smoking a few times, I’ve figured out that the reason why a smoker gets horny, after they no longer have nicotine to rely on to stimulate the pleasure receptors in their brain, is because the body is seeking an alternative analgesic: the endorphin rush of an orgasm.

Since I’m going through this again (after I quit smoking about a week ago), this time I’m going to refrain from sexual stimulation, until my brain re-programs itself. Does anybody have any ideas on how long that might be?

For anybody else out there looking for a similar answer: the last time I tried to quit smoking and gave into my physical need for an orgasm… well, let’s just say that if I were a man I would have been walking around with a woody all the time. If you have had an orgasm or two since you quit smoking and you think that you are on your way to a sexual addiction, you may have to start smoking again (just a couple of cigarettes a day), or use a nicotine replacement product like the gum or lozenge, then slowly wean yourself from nicotine again. But, DO NOT have sex or pleasure yourself once you stop using nicotine!

This time isn’t as bad as the last time, so I’m guessing it could be a couple of months of sexual abstinence, but I’d still like to get an idea about how long I’ll have to wait.

I am 30 years old. I have been having shortness of breath and difficulty with mild/moderate activity, since I had the bird flu a couple of winters ago. That flu did permanent damage to the lungs of everyone I know that caught it. Examples: Male 32 endurance athlete had a significant reduction in his athletic performance. Super morbidly obese women in her early 50’s now can barely walk across the house (she had already been short of breath considering her weight and other health problems, but I saw a definite decline in her breathing after it happened). Me I began to have more difficulty with activity than I ever had before, to the point that it began to interfere with my everyday life.
I also have a history of heart palpitations, MVP, and vasovagal syncope.
Also recently I have developed depression and an anxiety disorder (both generalized with panic attacks). The panic attacks came with the palpitations—I do not know which came first the chicken or the egg—the palpitations or anxiety, but what I do know is that they reacted off each other in a positive feedback cycle that caused me a lot of problems in my everyday life, and spiraled out of control when I began to have significant breathing problems.

I am also a smoker. I have smoked since I was 16 years old (14 yrs total). I started as a half a pack smoker, then a pack a day smoker and every 3-5 years or so I would jump up by half a pack. I had recently jumped to 2 packs a day with the stress of my degree program and all the other anxieties in my life.
I went in to the doctor who performed a lung function test, X-rays, and an ABG
The lung function test came out to be at 70 or 80% of normal I forget which—I think it was 80, but I’m not sure—the point is the loss was there but minimal.
My chest X-rays were normal.
The ABG showed I had respiratory alkalosis. I had high levels of CO2 CO1 and bicarbonate, basically meaning I had chronic low grade carbon monoxide poisoning from smoking. The doctor told me that I had been running at 70% oxygen–no wonder I had been short of breath.

Before they sent me to get the blood gas they said they were going to test me for emphysema and I did not react to that well—I was anxious and in denial. When I was told about the results all they told me I had at the time was respiratory alkalosis. I don’t think I would have listened or accepted the diagnosis of emphysema at the time, because I was just not ready to hear or accept it.

That was a year ago. I was so anxious and depressed and having other issues in my life I had to take a leave of absence from my school and lost my insurance.

I have since had 2 lung infections: one in August and one right now (it’s mid Feb). I have a chronic cough—the smokers cough where you just always cough up a little bit of phlegm here and there.
So during this last appointment I asked my doctor flat out: “Do I have emphysema?” Her answer was I have COPD.
I accept this diagnosis and I am seeking treatment to quit smoking—in fact I happened to have the beginning of the cold that eventually caused my latest lung infection when I had gone in for a prescription for wellbutrin to help me stop smoking.

Sorry for the long story, but this is my question

I am only 30 years old. I had a diagnosis of emphysema at 29—by 30 COPD. I am not a crazy super heavy smoker and I did not start exceptionally young. One of the first things I noticed in my research to learn more about COPD, is that people who have a diagnosis of COPD at such an early age commonly have Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency–whether they are smokers or not. Is that something I should be considering? Should I ask about being tested for this? I know without this protein–my lungs are less able to fight off infection, which makes them more susceptible to damage from viruses and the development of COPD, which could also explain why my symptoms suddenly began to be debilitating after I had a respiratory flu.
I accept that I have COPD, but it is hard to swallow that I have this diagnosis at such a young age
