Open Question: I struggle in school because of a mental condition. What should I do?

I just wanted to make clear right now that I'm not trying to make any excuses to not work hard or anything like that at all. Last year, toward the beginning of my sophomore year in high school, I met with a psychiatrist and discovered that I have a serious adult form of ADHD. He asked me several questions and after answering them, he looked a bit surprised, smiled and nodded saying, "Yes, you definitely have it." Not only is it difficult for me to pay attention in class for more than a few minutes, but I have several other problems that came with it, including getting offended and upset easily, having great difficulty making very simple decisions, and habitually moving parts of my body (mainly my leg) very quickly up and down while sitting still without noticing, along with several other problems. This has been going on for years and I experience these symptoms (mainly the attention/focusing issue) throughout most of the day. Because of this, I've been struggling immensely in school. Although I take as many honors/AP classes as I possibly can (so far I've done 5 honors, 5 APs and 1 IB and I'm a junior) I've found great difficulty paying attention in class, reading long amounts of text and completing certain assignments. For instance, if I'm reading a 30 page chapter in history, it would take me hours to finish reading it because every few minutes I would suddenly lose focus, begin wandering my mind and end up losing track for several minutes at a time, resulting in me not retaining the material and even having to start over reading sentences and pages at a time. I would even try to read sometimes and wouldn't be able to concentrate on what I'm reading because certain thoughts and even music would be uncontrollably stuck in my mind. This is very frustrating for me and has resulted in me receiving subpar and disappointing grades in school. Although I am a devoted student, I currently have a disappointing 3.3 GPA, despite working harder than anyone else I know and trying my absolute best in all my classes. I have taken medication to treat my condition given by my psychiatrist (two different kinds, actually) but neither of them helped in the slightest bit. This made me believe that there was no hope left for me. Another problem is that for over a year now, I've been very afraid to tell anyone about this predicament that I've had to live with. Shortly after finding out, I made the mistake of telling a friend of mine about my condition of ADD making school difficult for me, and he resorted to criticizing and yelling at me and even telling me that I'm using my condition as an excuse. Since then I've been very sensitive about this subject and have had to gather plenty of strength to be able to discuss and even think about what's going on with me. So I'd really like to know, what should I do about my condition? This is really making school difficult for me, along with causing me a great amount of stress, anxiety, and depression, and I want to do much better academically than I am now. My ADHD is making it very difficult for me to achieve great things and reach the high goals I have for myself and I can't seem to find a way through this. Please help me.

Open Question: Does this story make you want to read on?

BABY STEPS Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you. Wally 'Famous' Amos The sun had just set below the horizon, and the misty moon, as of now ,was peeking out of its hiding place. A warm breeze brushed by, bringing the sweet fragrance of summer. The red cedar trees bear their seeds on scales clustered into cones. Everything was too picturesque, beautiful, out of reach. Soon today will just be another day and tomorrow will come in due time. The whole world will be pitch black, that was when I focused more. The things in life that didn’t make sense seemed to come into view when the night was still; quiet. If you avoid opportunities that stare at you dead in the face, life can pass by in a blur. Who knew sixteen years could flash in the blink of an eye. “You’re thinking again, aren’t you?” I turned to see my sister smiling at me. Gretchen was currently on break from college and it was almost impossible to get time to myself nowadays. I was always overshadowed by the famous valedictorian but I had accomplished something greater than my older sister; the art of black sheep. “Yes, I do it everyday. You should try it sometime.” “Hmmm, very funny.” she said, while sitting down next to me on the patio steps. I sighed inwardly hoping that my insult would drive her away but failed miserably. “You know, I’m only staying here for a few more days then I’m out of your hair. You have this whole patio to yourself afterwards but until then you’ll just have to deal with me.” A few more days seems like an eternity. I added to myself. She sighed falling back perched on her elbows. “I never realized how much I missed this place. The whole college life can be such a drag if you have to focus on work. Every night my friends go out and have fun while I’m stuck in my dorm with essays piled high above me. But someone has to get it done,” she leaned forward, looking at me. “You’re so lucky sometimes. Not having to worry about being in the limelight, because if I fail then the world ends but if you fail…No one seems to notice.” I grinned at that, she was telling the truth. I had it made. “Lucky me.” “School is starting back up again for you, excited?” Was that suppose to be a trick question? “I mean,” she stumbled trying to reword her question. “Your friends. Aren’t you excited to see them?” Another trick question. Friends were a complicated situation in my life. It’s not like I completely shut myself off at school, people never wanted to strike a conversation with me. The only true friend I had made was Peggy Gray. A girl who had yet to find herself in the world, a girl who was just like me. For me my definition of school wasn’t a second home where you learn things you’ve never heard of. School to me was a raging wave, a place where I can’t escape. A combination of both heaven and hell. In short school is just a place where your parents send you to get brainwashed by people who think they know what they’re talking about. “Sure. Can’t wait.” “Laura, you can tell about what’s been going on,” she looked around before asking. “Do you have boyfriend?” “Oh, God no! Guys don’t even look at me they think I’m a weirdo.” “What? You’re beautiful and it’s perfectly natural for a girl to have a boyfriend at your age. Maybe its because of these dark clothes you wear. We could go shopping if you want. Give your closet a bit of color.” “I don’t want a boyfriend and I’m perfectly fine with the clothes I have.” “Always so difficult. Why don’t you try to connect with me? You’re like a brick wall that I can’t get through to. It’s a struggle to create a conversation with you; you always leave me at dead ends.” “I guess so.” She laughed unbelievably frustrated. “See, there it is!” “What?” “The dead ends! How am I supposed to respond to that?” “I’m sure you’ll find a way. After all you are the valedictorian.” She scoffed. “So this is why you don’t like me? You actually want to be in the spotlight? I’m afraid it’ll be too much for you.” “I never said I-” “Sorry, got to go.” she hopped off the steps and made a mad dash to her car. A smile had plastered its way onto her face. I stood and crossed my arms over my chest. “Where are you going?” I shouted to her. “Paul’s, unlike you I have a boyfriend to go to. Tell mom and dad I’ll be back in an hour or so.” I watched as she drove down the quiet street. Silence greeted me with open arms and I was more than happy to accept it. The trees now radiated shadows that stretched out towards me, the branches imitated precarious hands, as if, they were trying to grab me. I sat down marveling at the beautiful sky, glimmering lights twinkled next to the s somber moon. It made me wonder what lurked on the darker side of the moon. Sometimes if I looked hard enough a man’s face was carved onto the surface. The fireflies danced wildly across the nebulous sky. The birds had fallen silent in the trees, as if the darkness had taken their wonderful songs away. Crickets chirped in steady tempos and the subtle sounds of the howling winds followed every now and then.

Open Question: Sudden severe morning back pain while sitting?

Has happened 3 times in as many months- I wake up, go in to go to the bathroom and while "sitting" I usually lean forward (it's cold in there in the morning!) with my arms folded into the crook of my tummy.- All of a sudden I will get the start of this severe lower back pain and I have just seconds to try and adjust before the pain swells to a severe debilitating pain- just like back labor feels. I can't get up, can't move, usually just end up sliding off the seat onto the floor.--Eventually it passes, just like a labor pain does, and although my back is then sore, it's gone.It doesn't happen every morning but the pain is severe enough to worry me. I've had back troubles before ( broken process) but this is different in it "wave-like" nature. Has anyone experienced this No, its not baby related and before the junior- highers come on with their superior wit, I will cut them off and say no, it's not poop, turd or sh*t related. *sigh* Im just worried and looking for someone who has been through it before I go spend money I don't have on x-rays again. thanks so much.

Open Question: How do you sleep sitting?

How do you sleep sitting? You know when you are on the plane (economic class), you have to sleep or rest while sitting, is it possible to get "used it"? Is it healthy? Also, how do you sleep sitting other than on a chair? Like sleeping with your back behind a wall and your legs on the floor? I don't mean "sleeping" as in just drooling or fooling around in a classroom or workI mean in deep sleep.

Open Question: Curious about momma cat/kitten..?

Our cat had kittens 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately the runt passed after 6 days of my husband & I trying to force feed it to keep it alive (momma didn't want to care for it). Now there is one kitten that is noticebly smaller than the other 5. She does care for it and I keep an eye on it and see it eating once in a while. But today momma has brought the baby to me 3 times (so far). She doesn't just leave it. She cleans it, meows constantly while sitting next to me, and tries to take it but will just bring it back a couple minutes later. I've raised kittens before but abonded ones that were a bit older. Is this behavior normal or abnormal? What does it mean? I just can't take losing another, it breaks my heart! abandoned**

Resolved Question: CBS Survivor Question -- For Dedicated Watchers?

Have always watched Survivor. My son, at age 10, was watching first season--told me I should watch. Being a single working Mom, I did not have time to schedule a show to watch. The next season I agreed to "stop" and sit down and watch the second episode of season 2. Been hooked ever since. Back then, my son's life and mine revolved around Thursday nights ---we ( I ) didn't bring my son to baseball practice that night ( Thursday ), I took care of all chores for Thursday, washing clothes, preparing of meals, homework assisignments, etc. on Wednesday -- because on Thursday--I had SURVIVOR. I am still this way today-- and my son is 19 and grown and gone. Wow. How Stupied Is That !!! I still take care of "chores" on Wednesday. My Question: What SURVIVOR had my funniest cast member. I smoke and he smoked. He tripped-out and had a " I haven't had a cigerette moment", while sitting on a tall log. He was tall and skinny, black hair, tattooed and spoke of his teenage son a lot. The Tripe won that challenge. They went to a 'reward" with the "locals". He ate, drank beer and danced. While dancing he found cigarettes from the "locals". Anyone remember this season -- the year --- ?????????????????

Open Question: I got a ticket for negligent driving in the second degree. Can someone answer a few questions for me?

Okay first off, I am not looking for a response telling me to "slow down" or "balls up" and pay the fine. I'm looking for advice, not a safety lecture. I have gotten three tickets before this one. All three of them were dismissed in court, so I have a clean record. I was driving with five friends in my car at 11:45pm. I was going EXACTLY the speed limit, not a mile an hour over it. One of my friends was reaching down to get something on the ground, so I thought it would be funny to jerk the car around, to make it difficult for him to pick up his phone. Before I performed this action, I made sure there were NO oncoming vehicles, and NO cars in front of me or behind me. I also checked the sidewalks to make sure there were no pedestrians around. After I safely checked my surroundings, I started swerving erratically in my own lane. Not once did I cross the lines into another lane. I remained in my lane for the five-ten seconds I was swerving. A few seconds after I stopped swerving I saw police car lights flashing in my mirrors. I pulled over and the police officer came up to the car. Of course she asked me if I had been drinking. I had not had any alcohol to drink, and none of my friends in the car did either. We also did not have any alcohol with us in the vehicle. She asked for the usual information and went back to her car. Twenty minutes later she came back to my car and handed me a $550 ticket for negligent driving in the second degree (RCW 46.61.525). I was shocked. For one, I had a clean driving record, and I wasn't speeding or endangering the lives of others. She asked me if I understood why she gave me a ticketand I told her no. I tried explaining to her that I was safe about it. I also brought up how 95% of drivers will drift over the yellow line on a road, or a white line that seperates the road and the bike/walking shoulder. I told her that I NEVER do this because I think it is reckless and downright dangerous. Mainly because they are not aware that they are drifting over the lines. Can you say an accident waiting to happen? Of course she wouldn't even aknowledge the arguement I was trying to bring to the issue. She stood firm and said it was unsafe. I've had my fair shair of communicating with cops while sitting in the drivers seat, (I've been pulled over 13 times, only 4 of them for speeding, and 5 of them I made the cop look like an idiot because their reasoning for pulling me over was completely flawed). I got a lawyer for the three tickets that were dismissed, so I know the routine. My question is, should I get a lawyer for this ticket? And do I have a fair shot at beating this ticket? Unfortunately the city I got the ticket in, (Redmond, Washington) trains their police officers to write flawless tickets without a single mistake. No other city in my area does that. In addition, Redmond is not doing to well with all the recent budget cuts that have taken place. So their police officers will write tickets for the smallest mistakes that drivers make. This is not just my dumb opinion, I have actually spoken to police officers from Redmond, and from other surrounding cities including, Sammamish, Issaquah, and Bellevue. I hope to hear some good advice on this issue. Thank you in advance for your replies! -Brandon

Resolved Question: 13 weeks pregnant and for the past few days I get pains when I walk?

Hello, I have a doctors appointment today at 4.10 it is now 1.00 and I still have 3 hrs of going insane before I go, so I thought I would ask incase someone out there had the similar thing. Everything else seems to be ok, appart from the headaches that are driving me crazy, but on and off, when I walk I get sharp stabby pains, like cramp i guess. This goes away when I stop walking, sit, lay down. I have no bleeding or discharge but are frieking out a little as I have had 3 misscarraiges in the past. Although I have a 14yr old and a 9 month old baby, I have not experienced anything like this, they were totally different pregnancies and so it this one. Anything you have to offer would be appreciated, I just need to know someone else had this and they had healthy babies in the end, or still travelling along well. I asked this question earlier today, no answers. My doctor couldnt find a heart beat, but said that I am right in between where they can and cant, being 13 weeks (just), so it is just a waiting game. I would still like to know if anyone has experienced this in pregnancy, when and what was the outcome keeping in mind, I only have the pains when I walk. While sitting, laying, or doing anything that isnt walking, it doesnt hurt at all, no pain. Thank you in advance for your time and your answers

Voting Question: How to get my daughter to stop holding her pee while sitting on the potty?

So my daughter is 2.5 yrs old and autistic, so that makes potty training alot more difficult. She doesn't really talk yet, mostly echolalia. I'm potty training her because she's very interested in the potty and will sit on it, wash hands, etc. But it appears that she is purposefully holding her pee in when she sits on the potty. I take her to the potty like every half hr to hr. I've tried taking her off the potty and having her just stand there to see if she'll go when off the potty and sure enough, she starts to whine and do the holding pee pee dance and then starts to let it flow. So I immediately set her back on the potty to catch her going in it and she immediately holds it again and whines. She has it like backwards. She likes to go outside the potty. I bought a drink and wet doll to model it to her and she watches me very interested. But she still isn't going in the potty! What's up with that? Why does she hold it only when in the potty? How can I get her to stop doing that? I think that she doesn't realize what she's suppose to do in it maybe even though I've modelled it for her. But she keeps taking her pull ups off around the house too because I bought the cool when wet kind and she doesn't like the feeling. I thought that would promote her to go in the potty but she just strips instead and whines. Any ideas?

Resolved Question: Please help!!! I have a sharp needle like pain in my thigh?

I just started working out again. Probably for about 3 weeks now. Since then I have started to have a really sharp needle like pain on the outside of my left thigh. Its only in the one spot, when it happens I can point out the exact spot. it usually only happens while I'm walking or running. Never while sitting or moving about. I'm worried it could be something serious like a blood clot or something. I am young and healthy so It shouldn't be but I'm just worried because those can be life threatening. I was thinking it could be a pinched nerve, or vein. Its definitely not a pulled muscle cause I know what that feels like. Any ideasplease help.

Resolved Question: What do I do if my Toyota has the acceleration problem, but my vehicle is not one of the ones recalled?

My mother's Toyota ECHO has been having the exact problem that Toyota has been recalling vehicles over. She was told for several years that it was the floor mats, even after she removed the floor mats. The problem is that her vehicle is not one of the ones recalled. She almost hit someone while sitting at a red light, recently. This has happened several times and has terrified her. I really don't know if my mother has kept up with her scheduled maintenance, but she has been reporting this to her Toyota Dealer for several years, long before the recalls started becoming known. None of them could figure out what was wrong, other than the supposed floor mateven with the floor mat removed. My question is (assuming it isn't her throttle), what action should she take.

Voting Question: Healthy meal plan for a vegetarian teen?

I've been a vegetarian for about two years now, and didn't have any problems until just recently. I'm 16 years old, female, 5'1", and weigh 103 lbs. I know I'm not overweight, but I have a VERY small frame, so any excess weight at all is shown all over - I've noticed clearly defined love handles lately, a bulging tummy, and a lot of extra fat around my thighs. Problem is, I haven't been doing a single thing different with my diet; granted, I do tend to eat a lot of "filling" foods (like cheese, chips, sweets, etc) to make up for the space not being filled by meat (but I've been doing that for years). Yesterday I started eating nothing but fruit (strawberries, peaches, and grapes) and vegetables (broccoli and carrots), but I'm afraid this isn't giving me all the nutrients I need to stay healthy and keep my metabolism up. I'm not sure what to do - I'm an extremely busy person, so any sort of rigorous workout plan is out of the question (I don't even have 30 minutes to ride my bike before sundown), but any sort of cardio exercises I could do while sitting at a desk or in my house without equipment would be fine, though still, nothing that takes too long. It'd be much easier for me to change my diet than set time aside for exercise, unfortunately - is there any sort of particular meal plan I should be following that could help me lose just a tad of the weight and keep healthy?

Voting Question: Signs of Anal Leakage?

On Thursday while sitting in class just before break, I started getting this bubbley feeling coming from my bum hole. Felt like a fart, a little push and it was out. Then another came right after, and another and so on. So it feels like a bunch of small farts, they don't make a noticible smell and they don't make a sound. But this has been going on non-stop since thursday and it's now monday morning. I checked, there is no residue or anything. The smell of my hole smells like it always has, not strong but if you get close and sniff, you know what it is. I'm not sweating or anything. It honestly feels like it always has, you know, a tad on the tacky side obviously from wearing boxers and pants all day. I have noticed a decent sized increase in gas as well, like the normal farts that smell and make a noise. And in the past my bowel movements have been kinda all over the place. Sometimes it's when I wake up at 11am, then right when I am about to leave for class at noon:15, then sometimes right when I get home at 6:30pm, and again before I go to bed. But then most days it's just when I get home from school. I eat at 4pm, usually subway due to my acid reflux and subway is pretty easy on it. I eat again around 10pm and then snack on some leftovers about 2-3am before I go to bed. I drink a mountian dew for pretty much every meal. Halp plox. Tired of bubbley butt. I'm more or less trying to find out what it is, then after that trying to figure out if it's permanent or if it goes away, then how to fix it.

I'm absolutely addicted to junk food and I always have been. If I don't have chocolate everyday I get anxious and I don't like that.Neither do my teeth. I've also never been a fan of water eitherI need sugar and flavor. I think it's starting to take a toll on my body as well, don't know if that's possible, but it feels like it. I'm almost 23 and I've never been overweight [5'2 110lbs] but I need a change. I want to eat healthy and be active, but don't know where to start. I enjoy fruits and veggies, but don't just want to chew on celery sticks and carrots for the rest of my life. This is definitely going to be a change, and I just need simple advice. Nothing too drastic. Like healthy snacks I can eat while sitting at work, what I should drink [besides water if that's possible], maybe some vitamins I could take or any quick daily exercises I can do because I sit ALL DAY [and eat] at work everyday. P.S. I'm also a Vegetarian Thanks

Resolved Question: Next Step Needed: Toilet Training on Human Toilet?

I have had my 2 cats going to the washroom while sitting on the toilet seat for 2 months now. There was a 4 litre bucket of litter sitting/floating on the water during this time. Now I am starting the next step, but not sure what to do. I've removed all the litter from the bucket and put a little water in it. Is this a logical next step? They both learned to use the toilet without anything at all in it 5 weeks ago, then one of them stopped pooing in it and went on the floor beside the toilet. Both continued to pee, but I had to go backwards in the steps. Any ideas? Please don't comment if you have not toilet trained your cats. Is this a good idea for the next step?

Resolved Question: Is this a sign of early labor?

Hi everyone, I am almost 36 weeks pregnant and for the past two weeks have had really soft number twos, almost diarrhea like, and very frequent too. Sometimes if I turn really fast while sitting I will get the cramps that tell me I'm ready for another one. I know this is TMI, but I have been reading this could be an indicator of early labor? I'm too embarassed to ask my doctor about it and I'm getting mixed answers from my books and from the web, anyone have any better advice? If it becomes an emergency I will call my doctor or the hospital but hoping I can resolve this before then.

Resolved Question: They think I need to change my style?

Well, I 've been facing the same problem for many years. Even though I 'm not ugly (I 'm probably cute), I am never very stylish. I mean I don't wear much makeup, I never have a sophisticated hairstyle, I wear glasses, I sometimes wear shoes that are not feminine (the least feminine ones I wear are my army boots!). I tried to be more girly and stylish etc., but I couldn't stand it; I thought of myself as a different person. For some time I wore jewelry and makeup and heely shoes and more revealing clothes, but it lasted just some months. Then I hated that style on me. Many girls who are friends or acquintances of mine cannot understand it, but I feel well the way I am, and when I don't, I change what I don't like. I dress more stylish/ formally/ girly just on very special occasions. I have even gone on a date wearing jeans, Converse and a large jacket. I also don't pay much attention on not dirtying my clothes. I have got used to it, because it was a problem I have faced numerous times (at camping, while painting, while sitting on the ground or on stones, while I was playing with other kids during my childhood). I consider it annoying when girls insist that I should change, because they never understand I have tried it more than once and failed. They don't understand that when I shop, I always look for practical and cheap clothes; they don't understand it's nosense trying to keep my makeup on for hours and it's boring to refresh it; they don't understand I 'm terrible at styling my hair! Do you think I really have to change? If not, what should I tell everyone who insists I should change? Thanks for all the answers. I 'm happy there are people who support me for whom I am and not for whom they want me to be. I also would like to correct something. Probably you thought I go out with friends or go to university or at work and so on wearing dirty clothes. It's not true. I just am not too worried about not dirtying them. When my clothes get dirty, I shake out the dust of them or put them in the washing-machine. Generally, I don't go out wearing dirty clothes.

Try this, it will only take a couple of seconds. 1. While sitting, lift your right foot off the floor and make circles clockwise. 2. While you are doing this, take your right hand and in the air make a 6, your foot will change directions. Mind over matter. mb

Resolved Question: Sexual tension with cousin?

Background info: I moved to another country for school, I won't say where but its in europe, and I've been only speaking the local language. I've been here since september of 2009. I have a bit of family here, but I live in my own apartment. I have a second cousin who's a year younger than me, and she has clearly taken a liking to me. Plenty of indicators of interest, calls me up every weekend to go out, usually clubbing. As I mentioned, this is europe, its not illegal to have a relationship with a cousin, but I don't know if its socially acceptable, I can't image it to be Her great-grandmother is my grandma's sister, so she is a blood relative. I've been having mixed feeling about her. She's super fit and a real person, and I can't help feeling attracted to her at times. Now, I've had plenty of success with other girls here, so this isn't some desperate need for a female touch. I feel bad for leading her on, I don't even know what I want, but I like going out clubbing with her. Plenty of social value having her by my side, I've opened plenty with her, but I always feel guilty every time i get a number when shes with me, and I always kind of do it when she not looking. I feel guilty in general for 'running game' on her. A few weeks ago she compared me to a guy she went out with, and straight up told me she likes me better.. the way we dance, talk, and s**t, i didn't expect her to tell me straight up. She tells me things like she's lonely, but that could go both ways (lonely sexually/ lonely socially). I haven't taken it further than grinding on the dancefloor, pointed for her to kiss me on the cheek for a picture, and arm around her while sitting on a couch. It just felt natural and I wasn't thinking about it.. I'll be honest, my d**k wants to f*** her, but if I know its a realllllly bad idea. She's family It would suck if it got all awkward afterwards, family events and s**t. Plus she's not just some girl I can just never see again if it goes sour. Even if I was to try and avoid her, we'll still keep running into eachother at family events. And assuming it doesn't get awkward (not right away) what next? I cant f***ing date her. she lives with her parents who I'm sure are a little suspicious about our friendship as it is if she starts seeing me more then what? If I keep it going the way it is, the sexual tension will just build, eventually I'll get slightly too drunk and start escalating it and drunk f*** her, and thats the last thing I want to happen, because that will almost guarantee the post-awkwardness. I don't want to stop chilling with her, I know she would be heartbroken by it, but it would probably the best for her, even if she doesnt realize it. like i said, i enjoy spending time with her, and honestly, I've only been here for little while, and i dont have too many friends here, so i enjoy the mutual friendship with her, and I would hate to lose that over a drunk f***. I've taken a weekend off from her last weekend since I thought we've been chilling too much. I'm seeing her tonight though. I really don't know what to do. I can't help but think of the thrill of having a 'forbidden' thing with her. but it would never work. I'm an adrenalin junkie, and i thrive in those environments. But STILL. F**K! I don't know what to do. I don't even know why I'm typing this here, I guess I'm hoping for an off-chance that someone will read this who went through something similar and tell me which path they took and what happened for them.. but what are the odds of that happening?

Resolved Question: Should I see a doctor for a hyper extended elbow that is still very painful in most aspects of daily life?

I believe I hyper extended my elbow while doing curls. While sitting on the curl bench, I let the weight bar fall to its rack which bent my elbow back a little too far. It has been about 3 weeks and there is still significant pain while attempting to carry any sort of weight in my hand with my arm extended. It really hurts to extend my elbow in either direction past a certain point. I have done pretty much nothing since I injured it to medicate my elbow. Dont know if there is a certain point where its "too late" Should I see a doctor?

Resolved Question: How much is it to replace an upper plenum gasket?

My car has started to jerk a bit while sitting at red lights. It's a 2002 Hyundai Sonata V6. It's the sense of not getting enough gas to the engine, but the car does not stall. If you put the car in neutral the problem will go away. It only does it while stopped, and not when I am driving. I took it to Firestone to see what they thought. After a few hours they told me that I probably needed new spark plugs, new ignition wires, a fuel system cleaner, and radiator flush would probably be good too. I don't buy into all of this. The spark plugs were checked recently and the car has no problems starting. The Upper Plenum Gasket does seem to make sense with what the problem is. Does anyone else think the culprit is probably the Upper Plenum Gasket and if so how much do you think it will cost? Firestone wanted close to $700 out the door for spark plugs, ignition wires, Plenum Gasket, Radiator Flush, and Fuel Cleaner. I don't think it needs all of that and that still seems like a high price. Thank You. Simply took it there to find out what was wrong. That is not covered in a powertrain warranty.

Voting Question: Meningitis Possibly? Help Quick!?

For the past few days, I have had cold/flu symptoms and I thought it was just yearly allergies. It started off with a raspy sore throat(lots of mucus build up), and a pretty bad sinus headache and stuffy nose. Well today I woke up, and while sitting in an assembly, my neck all of a sudden became stiff. I cant nod my head, or turn it. I'm hoping that it was just the way I sat in the chair at the assembly.Im really scared that it could be meningitis, because I know that it is really serious. Please help!
