Special diet?

[wolfsoul]

Get this, I still haven't gone to the doctor yet, and because my mother won't take me, I'm just going to take myself over to the walk-in clinic.

My mom thinks that I have a vitamin defficiency. Cuz, ya know, I've only been on this diet all my life and have never had a problem with it before So now she's trying ti stick me on some stupid diet. I like my diet perfectly fine, it's full of cereal and chocolate, and other tasty things lol. But seriously, I do get my food groups every day.

Do you think a diet is necessary?

Gawd, I need to go to the doctors...she said that we would go the other day, and we never did. I'll go to the walk-in tomorrow *I hope* I'll tell you all how it goes

Your mother won't take YOU to the doctor?

My mom tries to MAKE me go to the doctor when she thinks somethings wrong. I don't go. Too scared of the doctors. LOL

Actually, from what you described, it does seem like its thyroid related or a hormone imbalance. Does your mom know your periods are messed up?

[wolfsoul]

Yes, she knows my periods are messed...She never takes me to the doctor, I always want to go lol. I always think something is wrong with me, I'm a hypochondriac..

I just thought of something today --- I was mad at my mom (again ) because every time I ask for her to get me iron pills she says no...

Well because my period is so bad, and I lose alot of iron, maybe it is a vitamin deficiency, and I need iron! Which would be fine for me, since I've been begging for iron supplemetns forever

I'm still going to try and make it for the walk-in tomorrow though

Well, if you want iron pills you'll have to go to the dr. You must have a prescription for anything stronger than a multivitamin containing iron. It's very dangerous to take too much.

I can't believe your mother won't take you to the Dr. Even if it is stress related they could give you several things to help you. Biofeedback helps enormously.

Please go to the Dr.

I hope everything goes well! My mom is kinda like yours..I always think that somethings wrong with me...either medically or mentally and she won't take me to the place I want to go to get it checked out.

Ok, I've heard of people not taking their pets to the vet, but parents not taking their kids to the doctor?

Most parents I know are paranoid over their kids and take them to the doctor for practically nothing!

Do NOT take iron pills without visiting a doctor. You don't know what's wrong exactly, and there's no need to take risks. It can be dangerous. I think you should see your doctor if you are really concerned. I still don't get your mom not wanting to take you to the doctor. You're her child! Maybe she thinks you're just fine. LOL

Ps. I heard soy products help in balancing hormones. You might want to try drinking soymilk etc. If you get strawberry or chocolate flavored soy milk, its pretty yummy.

I take Iron vitamens daily and I didn't have to go to the doctor to get them My mom gets concerned about my diet (my family doesn't go to doctors unless it's an extremem emergency... ) So, I take a mix of Iron, Vitamen C, & Echinacea vitamens. They really do help a lot. If you have a Trader Joes store near you I would suggest going there and checking out their vitamen selection.

mmmmm....soy ice cream...

I'm going to the walk-in clinic today, and if they suggest it, my mom will take me to the doctor.

Good luck at the clinic, and at the doctor if you have to go.
