Strabismus or a Lazy eye?
Q. I want to know what condition I have.
I've had crossed eyes since birth. They cross inward. I had surgey but the last surgery caused problems so I can't have anymore. Since around age 13 my eyes have been crossing more and more as the surgery has worn off I guess?
My right eye is completely crossed in to the point that you can't see the pupil. I can't move it out at all.
Is this a lazy eye? I don't know if it has vision because it is too crossed for the pupil to get light. When I cover my left eye the right eye is just a dark red blurr.
Even worst, my left eye also has limited turn out. I can't gaze to the left at all. I can only look straight ahead or to my right. To look left I have to turn my head.
Doctors seem confused because they all say something different! I'm looking for alternative treatment since surgery is a non-option. I desperately want to fix this, I hate my appearance and my limited abilities having this condition causes.

A. If at all possible you might want to consider seeing one of the top specialists - they might be able to help or at least eliminate some of the confusion. Dr. Rosenbaum at UCLA or Dr. Buckley at Duke are two of the finest Doc's around for such situations.
Good luck

My eye hurts!!!! can anyone help?
Q. long story,
A couple years ago, I had the same problem. My right eye in the upper corner hurts and it is in the eye, not to the side. So a few years ago, I had this same problem and i went to a doctor. They saw nothing wrong so they sent me to a bigger hospital in the city where that took an MRI scan to see if there was a tomur. Nothing came up, so they sent me to an optomastrist even further away where he dialated my puples and looked at them with a light... y'know, what all eye docctors do. And HE saw nothing wrong. There was nothing more that they could do for me so they sent me home and it hurt so much. I would break out in tears everyday and scream. It eventually quit but now it is relapsing. I really don't want to have to go through this again. Please help me! please.... it hurts sooo bad....

A. I went through the EXACT same thing. I went to every kind of doctor you can imagine. An ophthalmologist even put numbing drops on my eye. The kind they give you before Lasik surgery, and it STILL hurt. It always felt like there was a hot branding iron on my eyeball.
So the numbing drops not working proved that it wasn't my cornea.
FINALLY, after over 60 doctors, traveling to Scripps Hospital in San Diego, and a cornea specialist (this was before the numbing drops experiment) at UCLA and over $100,000 (I didn't have insurance then!) and 9 years of crying myself to sleep every night, (my wonderful husband knew to just not talk to me,) I finally found a regular doctor who wasn't afraid to give me the pain medicine I needed that other doctors were afraid to give me because they might get in trouble. I've been on Fiorinal with Codeine and MS Contin (Morphine Sulfate) for 13 years. It took awhile to get the right amounts down, but we finally did, and we're assuming it's my OPTIC nerve. We call it 'optic neuralgia,' or 'optic neurosis.' Because of those pills I need Zantac, (for my stomach,) Miralax, (for constipation,) and Klonopin, Elavil, and Paxil for depression and anxiety. It's a ton of medicine, but I need it and I don't abuse it. I take as little as possible. Btw, I did have MRI's to check my optic nerve and I had shots in my face to numb the pain but nothing helped or showed up on the MRI's.
Of course this changed my life. I'm happy now. It does flare up a couple times a year for up to a week, so I take an extra codeine and that really helps. I thank the Lord for Dr. Maurice Gregory in Las Vegas, NV. He had the guts to give me what I need, and now every time I have to change primary doctors I'm scared, (I have insurance now,) but they see that I don't abuse the meds and they continue to give them to me. I cannot live without them.
A weird thing is that when the pain was sooooo bad, it would help when I would eat a meal. Then it would back about 20 minutes later. It's was hell on earth. If you need to talk or have any questions, email me.
Bless you and good luck. Hang in there. :)

Will my baby be okay? Please help?
Q. A cyst showed up in the baby's chest in my previous routine ultrasound. Worried, I called ucla and set up an app down there.. . It turns out it is close to the heart and has made the heart shift but the baby is growing perfectly and the heart is pumping good. The doctor explained worst case scenario the cyst grows and the outcome is heart failure.. If not then best case is it regresses or goes away. I need help... This is obviously an emotional situation and I want to know if anyone has gone through anything similar and if there is anything I can do other than perhaps what the doc told me... Also I am 20 weeks plus 6 days.
A. I'm sure your baby will be fine. My nephew was born with a hole in his heart and he turned out normal. 17 now. Just keep an eye on it every week. To see its changes. You're already half way to 40 weeks so if anything worst outcome might be early delivery and surgery. I hope everything goes well. Have faith and pray. Eat super healthy it could help!! Only organic! Avoid coffee and look up foods to eat /don't eat for cysts. Good luck!
Self harming - should i tell my mum?
Q. Hi guys,
I'm sorry this is such a long story but to be able to undertstand i believe you have to know the background and where it all came from.
To start with I'm 16 :)
Right, it started about 2 months back,i was at my dads house cleaning, he payed me to clean occasionaly whilst he was at work (he works shifts) and i got a bit bored so i went on his laptop on facebook and stuff when i found liks in his faves section to teenage porn websites. i was absoulty disgusted but i didn't really know what was going on but something in my couldn't leave it at that i had to know so i did soem investigation. gosh i wish i hadnt....
.I looked around his house then in his room under his bed i found a massive suitcase full of porn stuff - there were about 50 discs, mags everything it was horrific, disgusting beyond words but not as vile as what i found next. I knew he was into the porn stuff i found some stuff on his comp when i was younger but i had to know whether it was child porn or not. i put a few of the dics into the comp and my heart dropped there were loads and loads of child porn pics, some of the kids were like 6, 7 some of them were my age some of them looked like me when i was younger. i like froze i couldn't even cry i couldn't move or anything.i then did something really silly i took the disc i coudln;t bear the thought of this perv lookinghis looking at it again i thought i could be evidence or something.
I didn't tell anyone for 3 weeks, it was horrible i coluldn't sleep/concentrate and was getting angry. i tryed to tell my mum i ended up telling some of my closest friends who persuaded me to talk to this teacher at school, she is like the welfare officer and my eng teacher and i know her really well she helped my best mate last yr and i trust her. I told her everything and the next day she phoned the police - i wasnt navie i knew by telling her this would happen and i guess by telling her i wanted it to be over. telling her took my ages, i so nearly walked away but i didn't. i made the right decision - and still stand by it now
So the next day she phoned the poilice they were in school within 20mins, i hid and cryed my eyes out my friends were crying i couldn't even talk - this was at break while we were waiting. she then found me and persuaded me to talk to them- i had come this far .so shetook me to the police, they interviwed me- i dont even remmeber it i just remember sitting there with everybody.
I had to tell my mukm everything when she got home. The police took the disc, then searched his house - there were 3 poilce vans, he was arrested and they found an awful lot of evidence and he later got bailed but has been charged with a lot the trial is near my gcses, he wil get anythin from between 5 moths - 3 years. then in the evening the police came round they wanted me to give evidennce at the station but i ran away for a few hours until they were gonem -i couldn't handle it, it had been the day from hell and i wanted to escape get out. i was the worst day of my life!
My dad then ran away to thailand to 3 weeks, that wimp, he never faces up to it,stupid man!.
I miss him but at the same time i hate him. he knows it was me that did this and we can never have a proper realtionship again - hes gone forever. I'm really angry at him and what hes done and scared that maybe he took advantage of me when i was younger. The worst thing is hes got to me, i started self harming on the night everything happended - 3 months ago i just couldn't bear it anymore, i just wanted anything to make me feel that little bit better.
I just cant stop thinking and its doing my head in i want to forget it ever happended i wish it hadn't of. i havent/can t talk to my fam about it i just cant open up andbe emotional i cant even cry in front of my mum i love her too much and she has her own worries. I havent spoken to anybody in my fam propely abvout it.
It was such a horrible time, my head was everywhere and tbh it still is - i miss him so much yet i'm so angry at him. I told my best friends and they convinced me to go see my teacher at school and i was able to get help there and things started to go better. I havent harmed for about a week now - i wouldb't say i was addicted, i would say i didn't want to stop. I kept me sane, it kept me acting as though everything on the surface was totally normal even though underneath it was a different story - i had to stay strong i couldn't let peopel i know i wasn't okay. I would say that i did have control over it, i knew it was bad but i still did it regardless because it was what i had to do at the time. Now i'm left with lots of scars at the top of my thighs, they are the most disgusting things ever, they make me feel physically sick looking at them! and i dont know what to do about holiday in july (greece) because i used to always wear a bikini and my mum will be like why have y

A. Your story is very compelling and must have been terrible to live through. Do not lose hope just yet. You did the right thing. You should ask your mom to get you a long term counselor. It is very disturbing to find out a parent is not who you think they are. I found out after my parents that my dad thought he might be (as if he wouldn't know) a pedophile. It was very scary and disheartening because I had a worry some time before I found this out that my dad may have been inappropriate with his children. You did what was necessary for your father to get the help he doesn't think he needs. Realize that he is mentally ill, not angry with you. The cutting scars can be removed through cosmetic surgery. However, don't put so much blame/ pressure on yourself to fix this situation. You did nothing wrong. You did not create this situation. I know that feeling helpless to change a situation can bring you to drastic measures. I cut myself for the first time after my favorite middle school teacher forced me to kiss him inappropriately after an after school piano lesson. I was 13. He was 51. I was devastated because I saw him as a father figure (and had a crush on his son) and was not very close with my own dad. I told my friends and mom a day later. Word even traveled around the school because the police took him out of class in handcuffs. I even had to go to court. He lost his teaching license by taking a plea deal to battery. I just walked the stage at UCLA for my bachelor's of science degree in psycho-biology on June 12, 2010. Traumatic experiences and self mutilation do not have to control your life. I still need help handling some other traumatic experiences, but am on the right track to a healthier life. My boyfriend has been with me 3 years and understands that I have issues, and has helped me through several. I know from personal experience that you can go through a lot of trauma, depression, and self-mutilation, and still come out the other end with a college degree, understanding romantic partner, and moments of peace. Some days are still tough, but breathe, stretch, take an anti-depressant if necessary (and prescribed by a doctor), and be honest with yourself about how you feel. It's okay to feel sad, hurt, angry, depressed, or nothing at all. Be good to yourself. You are a HERO to so many little girls who won't be forced into pornography to feed your father's illness. There is hope.
