Slow, probably. Can't remember.Originally posted by renorenal:Yeah I know... you will feel slow in decision making and feeling the urge to move voluntarily to get something done...
But you did mention that it didn't encroach into your social or recreational life rite?
You can still go out with friends, and not staying at home all the time thinking about it right?
Still can go out with friends. Going out with friends and relax seems to make the condition better. -
Hahaha... to tell you the truth, a psychiatric diagnosis is multiaxial, meaning you can get up to more than 2 diagnosis which may be the sole root of your current manifestations of problems that you are facing.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Luckily. Almost fainted when I see those conditions.
For the benefit of others...
Axis 1 is a clinical disorder diagnosis
Axis 2 is a personality disorder diagnosis
Axis 3 is a general medical condition problem
Axis 4 is referring to any psychosocial or environmental problems
Axis 5 is the summarizing of everything by usage of the global assessment of functioning scale
There is a scoring system in Axis 5 to see how severe your problems may be.
As you can see, a psychiatric disorder blooms from the time one is born into a house of family, grows up during childhood, goes to school, starts dating when in teenage life and working in adultlife and all the way till the person ages... A psychiatric disorder do not happen over a night's time... -
Female.Originally posted by alfagal:sorry for asking, but u are a male or female? -

...are more prone to being diagnosed of having anxiety and depression, not because of their gender, but because of the ego of the males of going to see a psychiatrist, because of the expressive gender of the female who don't mind sharing out their problems, and also because of how females respond to conflicts more emotionally...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Female. -

This brings me to my conclusion of situational anxiety... it is temporary and when faced with decisions or conditions that are hard for you to cope, you can apply some methods of relaxation methods where alfagal can guide you onOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Slow, probably. Can't remember.
Still can go out with friends. Going out with friends and relax seems to make the condition better. -

Diabetes --> There are two types... Type 1 and Type 2Originally posted by gorby107:How to prevent from getting diabetes????
What is the cause of it???
I still have a lot of question to ask............
Maybe stage by stage
Type 1 - causes are more towards autoimmunity, infection and genetic
Type 2 - causes are more towards hereditary, environment and obesity
The more commoner ones in our Eastern countries is Type 2 which the onset starts after 40 years of age (there may be variants)...
With the causes listed, the modes of prevention is based on avoiding the causes...
It has been proven through many research papers that in potential Type 2 diabetics, prior to them developing symptoms, they carry a potential gene for insulin resistance (insulin helps in absorbing glucose into muscles or fat cells, with resistance, glucose is not absorbed and left in the circulation for a long time till it gets excreted in the urine, normally, the urine should NOT have any glucose in it giving rise to a urine dipstick test for glycosuria)...
If you have a strong family history of diabetes, it is vital that you start caring for your body now by taking less sugary foods or carbohydrates, start taking up exercises - the best being 3 sessions per week with 1 session lasting for 30-45 minutes, the best is still running or jogging). Reduce your weight at all cost if you are overweight or obese.
Do not start smoking or drink alcohol as these are compounding factors. Remember that diabetes coexist with a lot of other diseases such as high blood pressure, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and peripheral vascular disorders.
Get your blood checked once every 2 years or 3 years for evidence of glucose if you do not have any evidence of diabetes. If you do, you may want to get it checked more regularly.
I will not be talking on Type 1, as it is not as common here, but suffice to say that diabetes in Type 1 is part of a group of autoimmune disorders. The person afflicted with these genes may present otherwise with thyroid problems and other endocrinal problems (adrenal glands). -
When peeing, if you feel a sharp pain, this is most likely that you have an infection in your bladder, commonly known as cystitis.Originally posted by gorby107:Why sometime urine will feel a sharp pain?????

This hardly occurs in males, only more in females. If it occurs in males, a lot of investigations will be done to rule out structural anomalies in the uro-genital systems.
The main cause is poor hygiene, dehydrated, holding up urine for a long time most of the time or stones / calculi formation...
The most common bacteria involved is E.coli though others such as Proteus sp., Enterobacter and Klebsiella may also be the sole cause... -
Strolls out. Will be back at night to see more tips.

well, if u are feeling tensed during times where u have to make decisions, jus remember to cool down. cos making urself feel more tensed up isnt going to help further.Originally posted by renorenal:This brings me to my conclusion of situational anxiety... it is temporary and when faced with decisions or conditions that are hard for you to cope, you can apply some methods of relaxation methods where alfagal can guide you on
these are jus suggestions, in time to come you might b able to figure out more on urself. try to figure out when n why u have situation anxiety. then avoid the situations or similar stressors that will trigger off ur tensions..
-learn to relax when u feel ur body tensing up. eg palpitations, headache etc.
one easy technique is to induce voluntary hyperventilation or breathing to reduce alarm about bodily sensations
-should learn to identify your thoughts and change the negative ones: if u feel tat u are no longer sure of urself, tell urself u can handle tis gal. worrying or anxiety will not solve the problem.
-whenever u feel uncomfortable, (when e symtomps suddenly comes back), jus tell urself to let the bodily sensation to pass. things will b better in a while's time.
-tell urself that although e feelings are not pleseant, you can handle this
-if you are not able to come up with a decision, pls do not panic. can always tell urself or e person to come back to u later, while u settle ur thoughts and feeling properly before make desicions or giving answers.
cheers
Note tat treatment may involve anxiety reduction techniques aimed at increasing the control a person feels over his or her anxiety and fears. Other approaches require the individual to work through their anxiety in relation to interpersonal or childhood issues. -

If your urine is colourless is it high in protein?????
I doubt I have Kidney Problem
Seriously -
The normal urine color is straw color...Originally posted by gorby107:Then what should I do????

Drinking too much water or just sufficient water for the daily intake will also make the urine colorless as it is diluted...
You can't say that if it is colorless, it is high in protein as it is hard to say it that way... you need to see if there are a lot of bubbles...
But still the best way is to use a Urine Dipstix Test to check for proteinuria (the normal human being excrete less than 150mg/day of protein)...
Anything more than that is considered abnormal, but there are exceptions especially during a fever, sepsis or dehydration or after exercising...
If there are problems in your kidneys, your urine may either be bloody or there may be casts or sandy urine present... -
