is anyone else taking this type of pain med? I have bad reactions to codine products (nausea, dizziness). Does this make you dizzy, drowsy? I guess what I am wondering is if I can take it at work and not be sleepy or loopy all day?

1991 was diagnosed as allergic to MERCAPTO MIX. Soo.. all rubber products, latex, waxes, various oils and so on. It makes wearing shoes a total nightmare because of the rubber-based glue they use. I get severe contact dermatitus.
Am also allergic to all nuts and apples.
HAS ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE GOT THE MERCAPTO MIX/RUBBER ALLERGY?? How do you get by with shoes, and what substitute is there for cortizone - as I have been using it on and off now for 15 years!!!

I was thinking of doing this for lunch, get 2 double cheeseburger withouth the buns only meat and cheese from McDonald every other day like on Mon. Wed. and Fri. with water or tea. And on Tues. and Thurs. eat a salad for lunch with a strawberry shake from McDonald. Is this a healthy lunch? I am trying to lose weight but not starve myself. I would eat a regular dinner. I really don't eat breakfast, if I do it is something little like a yogurt or just plain cerial to much on. Would any health experts recommend this? If not, what are some other healthly food that don't take to long, that are fullfilling for lunch?

I have read about this diet which consists of fruits and vegetables. It is to be followed for a week and one can reduce 10 pounds. It seems quite healthy and through it I want to reduce some weight. Is it healthy to reduce weight by this diet?

About a week and a half ago, I got my foot slammed in a car door. A few minutes after it happened, I got a huge goose egg on the top of my foot, where it got smashed the hardest, and my foot got very swollen. After that, the goose egg started to go down, and the more it went down, the more my foot bruised. Up until now, it hasn't been too painful. Just a tad bit sore to walk on. Now...it's still somewhat bruised, and just a little bit swollen, but it's extremely sore...so sore that water falling onto it, while I'm in the shower, sends sharp pains thorough it. Hurts when I'm not even on it, too. When I feel the spot that got slammed the hardest, it feels weird. Kind of like there's a kinda of firm somethin poppin out of my foot under my skin. Could it be broken/fractured? Or is this just normal stuff?
