Hi everyone. I am a 17 year old male with
a few symptoms that are currently worrying
me. Alright, for the past few months (and
possibly before, I honestly can't
remember...) I have noticed that I have
had somewhat loose stool. It is not that
it is watery, but it is not as solid as I
feel it is supposed to be. Also, it is a
pale brown color which is starting to
worry me. Tonight, when i used the
restroom, I noticed that there were dark
red spots in my stool (which certainly
worries me...). The other symptom that
should be mentioned as far as my stool is
concerned is that I have small bowel
movements every 3-4 days on average.
The other thing that is unrelated is that
I have been feeling very tired lately,
which may have nothing to do with it. I
should mention that I have been VERY bad
about my eating habits over the past few
months. I do not know if this is the cause
or even if they started at the same time.
It could be possible that I am simply
eating too little and am feeling tired as
a result. Now, I know that the typical
answer is go see a doctor, and I am
planning on doing that. I have an
appointment at the beginning of February.
What I am looking for is what y'all think
this is. Am I looking at most likely
having Cancer or could it be something
else? If it could be something else, what
would it be?
Again, PLEASE let me know soon! I am
getting worried and need some peace of
mind! :'(

Are you telling that you have only loose
stools (no normal once in between) every 3
or 4 day?
What's your diet like?
Do you feel some kind of abdominal pain?
Have you noticed a blood on your toilet
tissue?

Um... I would say that most likely yes, I
do always have loose stool about every 3-4
days. There are a few exceptions, however.
Um, I think that I have had solid stool
recently, but am not sure.
About my diet... I take aderol and it
makes me lose my appetite. During the
school week, I am very likely to eat a
biscuit for breakfast (but most times I
end up skipping breakfast), then I skip
lunch, then I eat like a plate of sushi
for dinner, and finally, I eat maybe a bag
of chips when I get home or something. I
know... very unhealthy... I am trying to
change that now.
I occasionally have abdominal pain, but I
think its normal. Nothing all too
frequent. Maybe once a week? The pain is
always usually mild and I'm assuming its
just a gas type thing. Very rarely I will
have my stomach acting up, and when I push
down on it, it hurts. Is that something to
worry about?
Finally, the blood issue. For the most
part, no. I did recently have a tiny bit
of blood on the tissue paper, but that was
a one time thing. Hasn't happened
since...
Ok, so what are y'all thinking?

For how long you are taking aderol?
Are you aware of its potential fatal
risks?
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, stomach and
intestinal disturbances are some of the
side effects caused by using this
addictive drug.

Hi! Posted: 01-25-08 04:10am
One of the body's responses to poor
nutrition is to conserve energy. The brain
gets a biochemical message to reduce
activity, and attempts to expend energy
can cause increased weakness and fatigue.
There is a chance that you have developed
anemia due to poor diet, resulting in
feeling of tiredness.
Also, feeling too tired can be a side
effect of using Adderall.
Are you experiencing headaches and
dizziness?
Are you restless and agitated?
Do you find yourself very moody?

It could very well be cancer due to the
presence of blood. See your doctor.
