This isn't really a question in the true sense, but rather personal commentary that you can then respond to:

Anything stupid and immature will be taken with a grain of salt and subsequently ignored. I really do not care what some anonymous brain dead pot head thinks of me as he types away in his shack.

My first quasi-question concerns the answering of questions- why do so many people "answer" questions when they don't know what the hell they are talking about?

The second- why are so many people on here dismissive or outright cruel to people who appear to be in pain? If you are annoyed, read something else. Being cruel, stupid and vapid just brings you down and makes the person in question feel shittier.

Third: is the intelligence of the human animal going down a little more each day, or do people just enjoy looking stupid?

To those that write compassionate, intelligent, mature posts- this is not directed at you.

This is either because I have been running all day or I have been drinking milk all day...litteraly.Now I have not had milk by itself in A WHILE..i mean like 5 years or something. Now a day ago I had nothing in my house but milk, and since it was the only thing to drink, I drank it all day. This means from 8AM to 9PM, and after all of that, my esophoges, how ever you spell it...the tube connecting from the mouth to the stomach, started hurting reallly bad, like a burning senstation but very dull. It's almost like all the acid from my stomach rose up and burnt it. Could that be it, acid reflex? and if u know a solution please tell me!!!

My brother thinks that it's a smart idea to drink protein powder instead of eating actual food. Now's he's planning to buy vitamin pills instead of eating vegetables. I would like to know if this is in any way healthy? And is it healthy at all to take all those artificial supplements in any situation? Isn't it possible to reach the same goal without changing your whole diet into artificial foods?

I take 5 mg codeine a day for back pain on an "as needed" basis. It seems then I take more, I gain weight faster. Is there a connection?

I've had an esphagael test, asthma tests, acid reflux medications, inhalers, but nothing works. A CT Scan showed one sinus is quite blocked, but the ENT said that wouldn't cause this cough. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or know someone who has had a similar prolonged cough and what they did for relief?

My 90 year old great grandmother is amazingly fit for her age. She goes up and down stairs, walks well and even plays the piano. She was diagnosed however with dementia a few years back, and slowly, we've been noticing major symptoms that are just ... scary. I remember catching a glimpse of a print ad of a new medicine in the market, that specifically slows down the progression of symptoms. Would anyone know the name of this medicine, or have any other suggestions that could help her live a better life inspite of the dementia ?

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Okay, I am 15.5 years old. And my menustration cycles are insanely heavy, I bleed as much as my mom (47 years old). I could wear both a tampon and a pad and bleed throught them both within 2 hrs. Recently I have been to the hospital, because I had an ovarian cyst rupture. Cause I live basically alive of pain in my lower half. I have talked to my doctor and she told me to go see a gynecologist real soon, to talk about my problems. She said that the gynecologist may prescribe me soom form of birth control. My mom, is too afraid to take me, she thinks of some weird "internal thingy". Well I was wondering, how soon should I see a gynecologist and what would the gynecologist do. And how should I talk to my mom about getting this checked.

Okay thanks!

Our family suffered the death of his twin brother earlier this year. Which has really affected him.

Their 16 birthday is coming up in a bit. Anything I special should do? Or throw a party and act like everything is normal? I am not sure if it would be mentally healthy to do. But should I just ignore their birthday because one is gone?

I have an itching sensation on my vagina since 45 days. Initially i thought it could be due to excessive body heat and hence took lots of coconut water and buttermilk but of no use. But now i feel i need to take some antibiotics. Can you please suggest which medicine is suitable? Its just the itching sesnation. No excessive white discharge. Everything else is normal. The burning sensation is same throughout and doesnt increase while urinating as in case of infections.

Please suggest remedies
