I have some sort of a hole in my cheek and it's getting a lot bigger each day; I have tried every over the counter medication and nothing works.

I suffer from depression and have for years. My mother suffered all her life, my sister also suffers as well as my son who is 19. They all have been on medication and it has helped them enormously. My son's dr. at the time was a pediatrician and prescribled his meds. I really need some help and don't have a Dr. of my own. I really don't want to advertise to the family that I am suffering with these issues. What kind of Dr. is best for this?

I initially thought this was a side effect of my acid reflux because I first noticed it during a bad AR episode, but now I'm not sure. Somewhat often, my (usually left) oblique will tense up so hard that it feels like a bone, and nearby abdominal muscles tighten up too. It becomes painful because the muscles press against my rib cage, irritating them. This is sometimes accompanied by a feeling of numbness on the left side of my belly, and even a sort of itchy internal feeling that I think might be intestinal. It does seem to be irritated by a lot of the same things that the reflux is, but I have been getting it even when reflux isn't flaring up. Sometimes if I press against the swelling areas, pain shoots down my arm, particularly the underside of the wrist.

I want to know since I am guessing I take them for 8-12 days a month(not in a row), (1-4 doses a day) it includes: my PMS headaches/migranes and during my period for my bad cramps, also when my legs hurt really bad after doing exercise ( like 1-2 a month only 1 dose).

IS THAT TOO MUCH ADVIL A MONTH?

I know this question seems strange, but I'm curious as to why studies show that weight gain is very common when someone is on an anti-depressant, even if their appetite, food intake, and activity level remains the same...

I just started "working-out" about last week without any work out machines (25-30 push ups and 100 sit-ups and sometimes 4-8 pull ups.) I'm mainly working on my upper body right now because I run track and cross country which is enough running for me. I heard that it's best to work out every other night because working out tears down your muscles and needs a day to regrow or something like that.

I love to swim, but thats more for toning. I have an eliptical trainer, but that gets boring. I get great results from running, but I just don't enjoy it that much. I want something that will be entertaining and give me a good workout.

I have read a lot of good things about being an OT. But before I choose it as a career, I want to know the bad things as well. What may be some drawbacks of the job?

I appreciate the answers to my previous question, and am well aware that this will require medical intervention. One complication is that I have to make a 7-hour drive in 3 days. There's no one else who can drive me, and it can't be delayed. Any short-term tips to help me get through this?

I found a pill in a friends room. I know he has taken Oxycontins before. This pill was a light orangish color with a "40" on one side, and three letters on the other. I threw the pill out so I don't remember the letters, but I know there were three. I did a pill search on the internet and found an Oxycontin that looked identical to the one I found color, shape, etc. except there was a "40" on one side and an "oc" on the other. Is there a generic version of Oxycontin that looks exactly like the real one, but instead of "oc" there is three letters?

What is the average mg of cholestoral a person should have per day? The thing is, every label I look on, there's ALWAYS cholestoral, and usually it's more than 20 mg. Also, I'm not sure which is worse -- sugars or cholestoral? Can someone explain this to me. I have people telling me left and right "Avoid cholestoral" "Avoid sugar" "Avoid calories" "Avoid saturated fat" but almost EVERYthing has lots of these. How do I know how to cut down without cutting *every*thing off? I wouldn't want to eat things with no calories, cholestoral, sugar, and saturated fat all the time lol.

I have a choice from Swedish massage, deep tissue, aromatherapy, therapeutic, reflexology or seated chair massage. I always have tight shoulders and neck and I hate people touching my feet. I'm ticklish too so I dont know if a massage is a good idea. I've never gotten a massage before so I'm just asking for some opions of people who have. Thanks

From personal experience, if you go into a therapists office and explain to them your well-reasoned decision for not wanting to take psychiatric medication, they will refuse to treat you. 9/10. The other one will find some other reason.
I believe that they prescribe medication initially to mask and supress the symptoms, so that they do not have to work hard at fixing the problem. However, the problem is still there, and now you have a person is chemically dependant on a medication they didn't need to begin with, if the person they were paying actually did their job!

agree or disagree?
