Ok, I haven't eaten any chips or anything hard that would poke my gums, but the place where my wisdom tooth used to be, is very swollen and painful. I got my wisdom teeth pulled about 6 years ago, so it was not recently. The area is not discolored, just swollen.

Is it possible to get an absess where there is no tooth? Should I try to wait this out or go to a dentist?

This may sound odd, but I am grieving for the amish kids shot by that #$% nutcase yesterday.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/04/amish.shooting/index.html

I don't know anyone involved, but I see Amish every day & Lancaster Co is nearby.

This making me sick. I am sickened to be part of American society. It seems like nobody is safe from this trend of malicious disgruntled ppl -- usually younger white men- on shooting sprees.

Maybe I would feel better if there was a way I could help? But Amish take care of their own and don't take outside contributions.

Does anyone know of a way non-Amish can help these folks?

I feel ashamed to be American when I see this kind of crap done to defensless people.

And will this insanity ever end? There's got to be something really wrong with America to have shootings keep happening. This isn't normal! This didn't happen 50 or 100 years ago. I feel now like nowhere is safe.I also feel like our police are worthless until after the fact

my father recently passed of a heart attack. I just got the death certificate and it said hypertension which i know is high blood pressure and "atherosclerotic vascular disease" which I believe is hardening of the heart arteries. I assume the two are related diseases, in that one caused the other? anyone have any info? and can AVD be caused by inhaling harmful chemicals? like fumes on a job site or something?

I am starting to get an ear ache... I noticed when I was Q-tipping my ears (as usual) after a shower... it felt sore... and my throat is getting a little sore too... but I snore pretty strong so that could be it... but my QUESTION is what would work better for pain? Ibuprofin or Exedrin? Or maybe Tylenol? I don't have insurance and I just want to get through the pain at least! So, any help on what I can do or what I can take for it! Thanks for any help!
And YES I know, GO TO THE DR. ... so BESIDES THAT. THANKS.

do you ever think that sleeping is too important to you? I love to take naps.... after working all week I love to nap on the weekend.. and sometime I schedule vacation days and stay home and sleep. I also find that it is so hard to get up in the morning... however I do like to stay up late.. does anyone one else absolutley love the feeling of laying down and knowing that you can just relax and fall asleep for a nap.

do you think that some people just love to sleep more than others.

I had second degree burns on both of my arms from the elbow down when I was a senior in high school.

It really sucked nutz!!

I had to go the hospital every week so they could scrape dead skin off with a green scrubby thing.

Luckily my burns healed very well so you can't see them too much anymore.

Should I be concerned??? I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative. Last month, I started my period on time. Is it okay to be late?? If I was pregnant, would it have showed up on the test yesterday or would it have been too early?? If I still dont get my period by Sunday (when I am supposed to start my active pills) should I take the pill anyway or not take it??

My eye lid has been twitching on and off for two days.

It doesn't hurt, it is just twitching a lot, and no one has noticed it.

Why is it twitching?

How can I stop it?

I've been having some neck problems/strain that I believe is due to me picking up my baby daughter off the floor in a weird way. I have been having some numbness in my hands that came along suddenly and neck pain and I think I need to seek a chiropractor for it. It is not heart or diabetes related, so please no advice on this. It may, however, be carpal tunnel related, but I think it's in my neck.

I have had serious health problems like ovarian cancer which I don't believe is related to the above problems I have.
Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Auto Immune Disease, Sprained Lumbarsacral, Sciatic on both sides, TMJ. But my problem NOW TODAY is this horrible pain on the right side of my jaw/ear that it throbbing and its driving me nuts. My Family Pract. sent me to an Internalist but I cancelled the appt. Is this who I should see? Im more wholistic medicine not a pill popper. HELP!

Direct me - It may be lack of Magnesium and exercise. I had a hysterectomy (4th major laporatomy since 1997) April 4th this year and Im just starting to exercise. My massage Therapist wont see me until Im 8-10 months recovered. So he can work on my pelvic/stomach area. Im starting to work out this weekend doing the CORE system. Hopefully that will help.
