I got up in the night not feeling so good to my stomach and I passed out without warning. I only knew I had passed out because I woke up on the bathroom floor. I barely made it back to bed, was weak and disoriented. When I woke up the next morning feeling fine I had a terrible black bruise on my arm w/swelling. It went through all the nasty colors, but there is still part of the bruise (still dark in color) that goes across the upper part of my arm right below the muscle mass at the top of the arm and above my bicep (outer side of arm). It has been two months since I fell. The bruise is not gone, my arm is slightly tender to the touch, and I have some raised area below the bruise or dented where the bruise is.. not sure which. Any advice or if I should see a dr would be appreciated.

Ok, First off. I don’t want to blow this out of proportion
My period still isn’t really regular. I get it basically the last week of the month. Normally like the 24-27th… then it goes for a week and it’s done.
Well September 24th came around, and so did the 25th, 26th, and 27th… nothing.
Still haven’t gotten it yet—and normally I get really bad cramps a day or so before, still haven’t gotten those either.
I’ve been with my boyfriend for about a year. We live together and we’re very careful when it comes to sex, we use a condom EVERY time because really.. we’re not ready for a child. Don’t get me wrong- If I found out I was pregnant.. I would keep it and love it like no other. But we have so many things left to do in our lives before we bring someone else into this world. It's a scary thing-
But basically what I’m getting to is, when do I start to worry?
When do I take a test?

Recently diagnosed with Crohn's and still being treated for heavy complications after a 3 week hospital stay I am in research mode to learn how I can help my body cope with this disease. I have heard many success stories from people who have adjusted their diet to SCD. Does this really work? Are there any other tested suggestions out there for Crohn's?

I'm sixty two years old and I have been married forthirty five of those years. For the last twenty one years I have been the loneliest man I know.
When the life in my marriage died she insisted on single beds. A year later it was separate rooms and finally three years age she refused to speak to me and silence has reigned ever since.
There's only one person to blame foe all this and that is me.
I gave her too much.
My pay was handed to her.
Now that I am retired my pension is handed to her (by direct debit) and because I am still of working age I receive Incapacity Benefit. This is paid directly to her(through the Post Office)
I had a stroke five years ago and I get Disability Living Allowance. This is paid through the P.O. directly to her.
My wife is considered an angel outside my home. She works as Home Help and frequently does errands for neighbours - nothing is too much trouble for her.
Meanwhile all that I can do is wait until I die which, mercifully won't be very long.

When I was about 6, I kept having dreams that a Volts Wagon Bug was chasing me around in my father's house. About a year later I had the same dream, but this time I gave up running, expecting the car to run me over, but they simply asked me if I wanted a ride. I never had the dream again.
