Not that I want to sound even weirder on here, after asking many questions that have freaked people out but I will add another... I often get images of myself (sometimes nightmares) of my being beaten up, or bleeding heavily, or stabbing myself... Random images or in the nightmares clips of me being harmed by my own doing... Anyone get this? Or have a clue why I may get this?

Please don't ask if I am insane... It is always a possibility

Why is it that Dr's and Nurses swear by tylenol for almost every kind of pain? I understand that it does work for SOME people. Is there anyway I can talk to my DR and convey to him that it just doesnt work for me? Acetominophen makes me sick, and they just wont listen . Are there any specific ways to talk to DR.'s to get them to listen?
I go the my NEW Dr,'s wednesday please help.
Thank you

I live in Egypt. My 3 year old son just had an ear bleeding yesterday. I brought him to the doctor and he advice me not to use cotton bud as he said they already band from using cotton buds in America.

Is it true? If it is true, then how should we clean the ear wax?
I used to clean his ears with cotton buds everyday and I think yesterday I might have push it a little bit hard. But thank god it did not touch his ear drum. It just the outer part.

I have been living in Southern India off and on for 4 1/2 years. I have been bitten many times before. My response was mostly very itchy in the general area. After my arrival last September, I started developing more serious reactions to the ant bites. I sneeze and wheeze, a lot of mucus comes out of my nasal passages, and then I fall asleep deeply for about 3 hours. Sometimes my whole face neck and arms have this faint feeling of itchiness. Usually I am aloof for the rest of the day -- like my brain is not fully functioning; if I eat meat, my haziness goes away. I have been dealing with this for 11 months. Any practical suggestions (besides moving or getting rid of the ants)? These reactions have had a debilitating affect on my household responsibilities and personal feelings of credibility.

I am asking this as I believe it is relevant in considering whether abortion is wrong.

If an early fetus is not capable of surviving outside of the mother, cannot feel pain, cannot remember etc, it is questionable whether he/she should be considered a "person" that can be "murdered".

If in such cases, a woman could not have an abortion by law or due to community pressure, it seems a valid option to kill herself instead.

So answer in order
1 Do I have a right to kill myself? Why/Why not?
2 This right seems to make redundant any rights of the fetus. Discuss.

would ankle weights play a significant role in weight loss if i wore them all day around the house? i know they'll build up muscle and muscle helps burn energy but would it make a significant difference? how much do you think it burns approximately per hour? they're 2.5 pounds each.
i'm not over weight, 20 years old, female and usually active.

I'm getting my teeth bleached at the dentist very soon, it will be in-office bleaching, when I was young I never brushed them and this caused them to become nasty looking, but finally ths will be gone. And I heard that tea, soda, and other drinks stain your teeth, what drinks can I drink that dont stain teeth, and can I drink soda that is clear, like sprite?

I've just graduated and i have 2 dead serious exams thursday and friday in which i have to get reeeeeeeealy good greades in order to enter the university (i want to be an architect: in the first exam, i have to take a test in descriptive geometry, the second is drawing). I realy love these things, and i've loved to draw since i was 3. I've been studying for the whole year (in my, and my teachers opinion) really hard, but i'm not sure, i'll get in. I graduated with exeptionally good grades, so, i don't think i'm stupid, but maybe i'm not smart enough for this? I'm beginning to freak out and, i'm afraid i will be so stressed out that i cannot concentrate, i cannot sleap, if i do sleep, i have nightmares. I have eating problems too, but i feel like haven will collaps if i don't get in this year.
I want to be calm, and relaxed, but without medication, please....
