I have had some pain in my fingers and wrists lately. They ache. I cant think of why they would feel this way. Like right now I am trying to type and i can bend my fingers but they feel creaky and a little stiff? What would you reccomend? Thanks so much.

Most of my classmates are way ahead of me in height. Then again, my birthday is onnovember, so maybe im not that late. SO anyway, I wanted toknow whern Ill start to get taller.

I am about 1.55 metres, and I am 12 years old. All ofmy brothers are really tall, and I'm already as tall as my dad (Meh. He's short.). I wanted to know when I am gonna get taller.

Also, I read somewhere that with good sleep, you would grow.. is this true? I was wondering, because I havent slept well in the past month, and then, one week before school started I slept a lot earlier, and I notice I grew about 1-3 centimetres. I dont know if it was coincidence or if its true. ._.

So any info?

She's had prior lung problems. She also has other health problems. As bad as this sounds : her husband would not call the medics. Someone told me via phone and I had to call them because he refused to. Needless to say, he's very angry with me, so I'm not going to go down there and have him start yelling and make it worse for her. I'm just so worried about her. All she does is clean and run the kids to places (in the car) and wait on everyone over there. There's one adult son living there (in his 40's) who could help out a LOT more. Also her daughter, in her 40's, an ex-nurse, and some teenage grandkids, who could all do more work over there since they all live there. All I know is she was vomiting severly, then dry heaving, and sweating. My stepdaughter called from the hospital to tell me about the low oxygen. They apparently did an MRI of her heart too. I already lost both of my parents, so this is really bothering me. Can anyone tell me what this low oxygen means? Thank you so much.

Needing to know of any techniques or chemicals to help clean a chair made with polyurethane foam padding encased in porus vinyl like material. It is black colored, so I hesitate to use bleach. Thus far, I've used a car wash with pre-treating the spots on the chair scrubbing with dial bar soap using Spray N Wash as a lubricant. It cleaned well, but odor still was present, although lessened. I need some ideas of what works for you; chemicals that will not create allergies to the wheelchair user (lives in chair 24/7) and does not ruin fabric. Thank you for your help !

If so, what's stopping you,
1) scared, concerned with safety
2) too expensive
3) happy with contacts/ glasses

I know close to nothing about cancer. My mum has been recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and from the state she is in, my view is that it is too late for any treatment. (Sorry for being vague here, I find it too difficult to describe her body. She is physically extremely weak already).
All sorts of tests are being done currently to assess the situation. Before the doctors give us some feed back, I am just wondering if anybody has experiences to relate. Also, do you know of people who have been saved with chemio "at the last minute"? (In her case, it is too late for all other treatments, as doctors told her). Thank you.

Why shouldn't you drink alcohol when taking darvocet? Is it because the alcohol will increase the effects or is it that the combination will cause liver damage?

As an athletic trainer, I sometimes find myself in a situation where I must care for an athlete who has forgotten to bring his/her inhaler with them. Do you have any suggestions that may aid in a quick recovery when the inhaler is not available?
THANKS!
