Patient discussion about solitary.

Q. can any one tell me whether could a person with bipolar disorder, be a single parent? I am unmarried. I had a lot of dreams in my family life but my husband expired the next month soon after our marriage. I am not pregnant too. I don’t want to remarry because I am recently diagnosed as bipolar. I don’t know whether my suffering will spoil my partner’s happiness if I marry. So I like to live alone and to give life to an orphanage child. So can any one tell me whether could a person with bipolar disorder, be a single parent?

A. Okay here is what I think. Bipolar disorder effects everyone in the family. It is important that you find someone to share your life with if that is what you want out of life. There are many of us out there that are patient and caring, it is an issue of being honest and waiting for the right person. If you are being treated and are stable I dont think it would be a problem addopting a child. Be honest and things will work out. Continue your treatments and stay on top of your illness and you can have everything in your life that you desire. When it is ment to be it will be. Be patient, show the agency that you are stable and are being treated for the illness. You are fully capable of giving a child a great life. Good luck!

Q. In what way the herbal drugs are safer when compared to their single active ingredients?

A. What makes the difference is the presences of different constituents of plant materials which makes them more balanced when compared to isolated plant ingredients and is less likely to cause side-effects and the herbs are prescribed in different combination thus they balance each other.

Q. I have heard that Acupuncturist use a single needle but what about this tool with several needles? My son and me are both prone to cold. Now-a-days I get less cold and cough when compared to before. But as my son suffers a lot with cold and cough and he often gets diarrhea, I took him for an acupuncture treatment. He is also taking his allopathic medicine for cold. I tried so though it can help him. Acupuncturist used tool with many needles embedded in it. I do not know his treatment will go but as I have heard that they use a single needle but what about this tool with several needles?

A. i went through an acupuncture treatment too, treating chronic headaches i have. and the acupuncturist used that 7 needle instrument on my back. i must say there weren't any big difference (painwise...) and i didn't see the difference afterwards too. but i don't have a good way to measure it's success, but my therapist is a good one so i have no complains :) .
