Develop Scripts: One way to deal with "not knowing what to say" is to develop templates or scripts.  Another thing you can do is create 5 to 7 questions you will ask another person when you meet, such as, "where did you grow up?" or "what do you do in your spare time"?
       If you focus on learning about the other person and get them to talk about themself, it takes the focus off you.

Accepted Answer

It should probably..: be replaced.  The word catheter is designed to create a tract for drainage from the cyst area and then allow the cavity to close by itself.  This is usually a process that takes several weeks.  I would follow up with your primary care physician or your OB/GYN.

Question 10

i'm on 40mg citalapram daily finding it hard to read out loud i start off ok but my words begin to slur and i feel my face droping?

Accepted Answer

Unusual side effects: Those would be unusual side effects to citalopram.  If they started with the medicine, then they probably are related, but if you have been on the medicine for a while, i would look for other causes.  If you just started the medicine, perhaps you will be able to tolerate it at a lower dose and then slowly titrate up to 40 mg.  You should talk to your prescribing physician.
