Health - 5 August 2006

First of all, Thanks to all of you that have answered my part one question....... Well I am 59 and I am on Disability.. I do have the medicare and medicaid.....here in OHIO. But I ask my family doctor to refer me about my legs to a specialist.. which he declined. He is not helping me with my problem with my legs and feet, with this lymph-edema, I realize he is just a regular FAMILY DOCTOR... but he did say to me..... that he does not think any of those wrapping work to well !! But I would love to know if I prosue this would I have to keep doing this the rest of my life, or over a period of time would I be relieved of this problem of swelling of my legs and feet? And would I have to do this everyday or just a couple days a week? If my daughter would massage my legs by hand would that help any of all.
Medicare use to pay for the stockings for your legs.. I was advised to purchase stockings that go up to my thighs... ( which are not cover) if figures.

I got a penicillin shot in my but yesterday (friday) for strep. Im still not feeling any better.. im actully worse. my other tonsille is now infected, which was fine yesterday and i cant swallow, and running a fever of 101. they did not give me the 10 day course of pills of penicillin, cause this is my 2nd time having step in 6 months, and regular penicillin didnt work last time. so the doctor thought this shot would help speed up the healing process. the shot they gave me was bicocillin or something like that..why am i getting worse and not better? its been 24 hrs. since the shot..

LIke for example, say you were never born with a nose and you went thru life without it. Would you even know that you were missing out on " scent"?

I have a sore on the inside of my bottom lip in front of my teeth. It only hurts occasionally, so I know it's not a canker sore since those hurt like the dickens. It's just obnoxious. I think it's infected, because it fills up with something, and becomes a round, hard ball until it breaks open. It will drain for a couple of days, and then fill up again. It repeats this cycle over and over again, and I've had it for more than two weeks. It's disgusting, and I'm not sure of how to get rid of it. Does anyone know?

I have recently started a new excersise routine at home. we have baught a new excersise bike and I have been doing 20 minutes a day and also doing a form of crunch for my stomache and also 20 minutes of yoga. I have big boobs anyway but I first noticed they have got larger which was anoying. But more worrying for me is that my legs have got bigger and my waist is also getting wider. I heard once that this is normal and that your waist goes back in later , is this true ? Or should I ajust my excersises? I eat really healthy ...no chese oil or meat and dairy . I eat lots of fruit and vergitables rish and soya milk ( n porridge for breakfast) n diet drinks. ( my only treats being the odd packet of gum and a diet cola or really light ribena once in a while) Please help. This has really worried me as a self confessed anorexic who has managed to get to a healthy level without medical help!!!!!!
