i have been throwing up all afternoon, until now. about ten times total. i have no fever, but i feel achey, no other symptoms. i think it is a stomach flu.
i am very thirsty from all that throwing up. i tried drinking water slowly, but i couldn't..i was so thirsty i drank a full glass rather quickly--then i threw it up. i have been laying in bed for about and hour since my last vomiting episode. i really want to drink a lot of water with ice..what should i do? will i be ok if i drink a lot now? sorry if this sounds stupid, but i am only 21 and live on my own. my husband is deployed, so i have no one to take care of me. all the help you guys could give me, i will appreciate. :-)

She trys several times a day with only a small amount of soft stool coming out, not hard. This has been going on for about of month. At first I thought she was constipated and gave her an enema after trying sencot and suppository. The stool that came out after the enema was not hard stool. Right now I'am giving her 2 teaspoons of mineral oil a day, water, prune apple juice, fresh fruit and vegtables, I have cut out anything I think that might be constipating. After 4 days of her trying to go and she cant, I give her sencot or a suppository and the last few times that didnt work and gave her an enema. I dont uderstand why she cant poop, she was going every day, and now its every 4 days with the help of sencot, a suppository or an enema. I do not like giving her suppositorys, enemas, or sencot because I dont want her dependent on them. Why cant she push the poop out when it is soft stool and not hard?

After losing his house, relationship and going through a heart attack scare, for the past year my brother has been severely depressed , sluggish(sleeps 12 hrs a night) spacey, extremely anxious and seems incapable of making decisions.
Blood tests have shown him to have low thyroid levels,low cortisol and low serotonin levels also, but he balks at taking an antidepressant or other medications. It seems clear to me what he needs to do but he seems to lack motivation to follow any consistant plan of action.so nothing is happening .
He constantly complains how rotten he feels but resists my efforts to set up appointments or get him into treatment. He thinks he should go off and live at a yoga commune where he'll get regular meals an not have any responsibilities to stress him out. I respect yoga but I don't think he'll be getting the treatment there that he needs.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Yahoo people!

I get real bad migraines. I'm in bed about 75% of my life because of them. I feel like I'm letting my friends down, and the homework keeps piling up.

No drugs help anymore and the leading doctors in the field are no help.

Make me feel better! What should I do?

What do you do to help ease the pain of standing on your feet all day with flat feet? do you use shoe inserts, buy special shoes, etc...

one you had before is still good (you know, cause usually you have to get one every ten years or so, if I remember correctly...). Cause I got a small cut/impalement on a screw today, and somebody told me I should go get another tetnis shot, but I'm not due for another one for a few years.... I'm just curious.

I had a laparotomy 2 weeks ago. I recently noticed very very hard lumps right under the incision. I saw my doctor & he said it's normal scar tissue that will "melt away". Have others experienced this? Is my doctor right? The tissue is hard a s a rock & quite sore.

Hey how's it going.....

Tommorow is a new day .....I dont know who I'm talking to but someone out there is feeling like they've reached a point in the road of life where's there's no turning back and nothing to look forward to.

But tomorrow is a new day ...Stay true to yourself ...Press on because just when it seems like all is lost....a Second Chance arrives where and when you Least expect it....

Life was never meant to be a dream come true....or a smoothly paved road without rock or stone....

It is simply an embodiment of time that you face each morning that you find yourself still alive....

So why not LIVE and realize that the Past's failures can have no Real bearing on Tomorrow's successes.
