Ive had some stomach problems which doctors say could be IBS. Theyve said a scan would be unessesary but i feel pretty desperate and want to rule out anything serious?

I am checking blood sugar all the time as I am diabetic, no need for insulin, but has to be eating carefully. A lot of times I find that the blood sugar can be 100mg/dl at bed time. After sleeping 8 hours, it is 128mg/dl. Why is this? Why the blood sugar increase instead decrease during sleep?

I was rolling around on the mat during jiu-jitso, and somehow managed to hurt my little toe. I think it may have been the result of pushing my body weight off on my foot, and my foot moved, but the toe stayed in the same place.

It went numb at first and didnt really even hurt if i moved it around. It was sort of dangling off at a strange angle. Later, the angle fixed itself, and then the pain started. Now it is black and blue- almost halfway up my foot! I hear & feel some clicking if i try to move it.

So is it broken, sprained, dislocated, or what? Is there anything I can even do besides rest and taping it next to the other toe? Is there any point in icing it if i dont care if its swollen.

At least it doesnt hurt as much as my gout sometimes can!!

Why is it that Doctors can't except the fact that they are Human Beings, and that they are not Perfect, that they can make Mistakes. and own up to those Mistakes?

I am taking 400mg of Wellbutrin and 50mg of Zoloft daily. I just changed from taking 200mg of Wellbutrin and 150mg of Zoloft daily. Since my doctor and I adjusted my dosage I have been getting nausea and headaches after I take my medication each day. I called my doctor's office to talk about it but they said I have to come in to talk about it, I'm sure they just want me to come in so they can charge my insurance for a visit. I don't want to take the time to go in if there is a simple answer to this question. Any ideas on what to do to avoid nausea on a daily basis?

After my son lost his two front teeth, they have grown in very crooked. I know he will have to get braceS eventually. What's the earliest age I can have them put on and what would be one of the "better" types(invisaline, metal, clear, etc). I should also let you know that he is 7 and has lost most if not all of his baby teeth with the exception of his molars and has not grown any "wisdom teeth" as of yet. I don't thimk our insurance(hoosier health), would cover them(the braces), so we would have to probally pay payments.

Thank~ you so much for your input.
