Health - 21 October 2006

Recently I broke my foot in several places and have not yet gained back my "freedom" so to speak. I am in a walking cast and am not allowed to take it off for any length of time. I am not allowed to "walk" or do exercises untiil I can walk without help again. I would like to find an herbal additive or something that I can use. Please only serious posts. Thanks!

That is what the doctor said after finding out I cured my cancer. It boggles my mind that someone that treats cancer for 25 years just did not want to know. Instead I got an hour long lecture about cancer statistics while other patients waited.

It blew up to about the size of a fist within minutes, and hurt to walk on. This occured 4 days ago, and the size of the bump has reduced to about a golf ball. its mostly soft, I can press on it without it hurting a great deal, other then the bruising, which is minimal. I have been alternating icing it and putting heat on it and keeping the blood flow reduced as much as possible. How long should it take for the bump to go away? B4 I should be worried, I have read stuff about blood clots, or it could just be a shin injury and this is water/blood buildup to protest the shin bone. Any help in reducing my concern would be great, any remedies or help in getting rid of it asap would be great also.

if i am told about some thing that will happen with in minutes or days i seem to have violent thoughts about the event. and this only goes for events that could get bad, not bad as in life threstening but bas enough to give me a headache. during these thoughts i think of sevreal secenarios where i am brutaly beating or killing the peoplw who will be in the future sisuation. what could cause this.

an example is yeaterday there was a mix up between 2 of my friends and i had to resolve it. befor i went to resolve it i thought of taking one of my friends, throwing him on the ground and stomping on his head sevreal times, i also had the thought of snaping my other friends neck. the problem there though ended nicely.

now these thoughts happen alot and can involve any one. i also seem to get a small high from them, a strange feeling in my body.

Today my hubby and I hiked up a hill that was pretty steep in parts. It took about 35 minutes to get to the top. About 2/3 of the way up I had to stop and catch my breath because I was finding it VERY hard to breathe because we were already at a higher elevation, 3300 feet, and hiked to an elevation of around 4000 feet.
Anyway, once I got to the top I was finally able to catch my breath, and had to do some coughing to clear my lungs.
Well, it's almost 11:00 at night now and my lungs still hurt a little if I take a deep breath. Also, I'm still coughing up a little phlegm every now and then. Is this normal? I don't usually have the cough for this long. Also, when I was hiking, my mouth tasted a little metallic, so I looked at a bit of my spit because I was afraid there might be blood in it, but there wasn't. Also, it was a little chilly; probably around 50 degrees or so. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks! :)

What did you do get rid of that hanging tummy after birth? I don't think it could be lipo-ed because the skin has lost elastisity and it may not snap back into shape. Has anyone ever had there's lipo-ed? What are the results of anything that you have used to get rid of it?
