Health - 11 September 2006

I have a severe disorder in my tmj joint, from the minute i wake up till the minute i go to bed im in sever pain. I have been that way for 3 years now. I have been to every doctor, surgeon, and specialist in my area, with no results. I'm currently taking Vicodin ES for my pain but it doesn't work. I find myself taking large amounts of IBProfin with the vicodin to control my pain but nothing is working anymore. I need a good Pain Management center to help me. I can't even live my life anymore the pain is so bad. If anyone knows of a good doctor to help me out with my med's i would appreciate it. I'm still currently seeking out a solution to this problem i just need this in the mean time so i can continue with my life. I work a fulltime job that i have had for the past 8 years and my pain is staring to affect my job. i need help.

The girl that is on drugs is in her 20's and she has lost over 50 pounds in the last couple of months, isn't concerned with her appearance, wears long sleeves in 100 degree weather and has given her kids over to her mother, and her mother still denies that anything points to drugs and she is constantly making excuses for her daughter. This is making me crazy. All these excuses! I need hard core proof. Suggestions from people that have been through this would be great.

I'm 22 and my sister's nephew (he's 14) told me that his 12 yr old girlfriend cut herself about 25 times on her wrists. I feel obligated to say something and I have her name and the phone number to the school she goes to. Am I making the right decision about calling her school counselor? I don't know this girl but I really feel like I should tell someone to get her some help. Any advice would be appreciated.

I was told by three people that if you put a relaxer on your hair before taking a drug test that require a stran of your hair, it camouflage (if i spelled that right) the THC from marijuana for a few days. If you know anything about it or if you've done it hit me up please.

For the past month my stomach has felt like it is constantly bloated, maybe more in the abdominal region, its a really annoying feeling, not painfull just feels like bloating before a period does.

I know I am not pregnant, well I have taken 3 pregnancy tests and the last time I had sex was end of May/ Beginning of June. I took the tests in August and just to be SUPER safe I took another one today and they all came out negative. I have tried to use treatment for both constipation and gas, to see if that might be the problem and it wasnt. I have had normal well pretty close to normal periods, and just finished my last period yesterday. I am planning to see a doc within the next week, but I was wondering if any other women experienced this and might have a suggestion to what it could be! or what could be causing it...Thanks!

but around a month ago i developed a hole in the bit of my nose between my nostrils, if i breath in deep it whistles, i went to the doctor and he told me it was hayfever, he didnt really take much notice that i had a hole in my nose, plus im 28 and ive never before this suffered from hayfever in my life, so any way he just sent me away with a prescription for a nasal spray, the spray has helped in every other way apart bt im still left with a hole in my nose, ive tried looking this p on the internet to gather information on what this hole is all about but had no luck at all and i dont know any one else who has experienced this either. Has this happened to any of you? Does anybody have or know of any information as to why this has happened to my nose? help, please and thanks. x

One of my high school students witnessed his own father go on a rampage yesterday, shooting 4 people and killing 2. I was pulled out of class today because the boy had showed up and wanted to see me. I ended up holding him for a long time while we both cried. He is in shock and in need of wisdom that may be beyond me. All I can give him right now is love and support. I've already talked to 2 counselors on the boy's behalf, but am looking for advice on how to help further.

I just lost my dad last January and I needed someone to tell me to let him go and stop treatment. I just wonder what people think when you tell them their family member is getting ready to pass thru this world?

I just discovered 3 days ago a very large abscess on my inner thigh where my thighs rub together when I walk. Every woman should know what I mean. I think I cut myself shaving there about 2-3 weeks ago and now I have this HUGE thing that looks like a pimple but I believe it is an abscess. The base of it is almost the diameter of a 50 cent piece. The head of it is about the diameter of a dime. What should I do about this? Are there any home cures to get it to go away or get it to pop. It's really gross...any ideas please let me know.

My 73 yr. old Mother seems to have Alzheirmers Disease; she's on 2 med's for that condition and they do not seem to be helping. She was on 4 different med's for high blood pressure & doc recently had her to leave off one of them ( Norvast). I think she might be doing just a little bit better--but it's only been one or 2 wks since omitting the Norvast.
Any help on this or comments, etc.
