Health - 23 October 2006

My husband and I have dental insurance, but they still want the rest of the money upfront and we are totally broke. No dentist that I have called is willing to work with me on a payment plan. They all tell me to apply for a Care Card (Medical credit card). We can't get a credit card...tried. We recently lost a baby girl and had to pay for a funeral and I don't know what else to do. Dentists always say how important it is to get in, but they aren't willing to work with people that can't afford to pay. To interested in their house payments and sports cars to care about anyone else.

Thers this wierd lump on my hand that developed over a few months. About 2 months ago, i fell hard on sand and pebbles&got a cut on my palm. After a few weeks, there was a scab and then completly healed. I thought it was fine and left it alone. I didnt realize it but it felt like a rock was in my hand. I realized it wasnt a rock and there was a blueish blackish dot visible on the hard lump. The dot got bigger then before. It stings a little wen i poke the dot but wen i poke anywere else on the lump, its fine. Can someone explain to me what this is, what can happen if i dont treat it and how can i treat it. thanks

So whats the difference between Whole, Low-Fat and 2/1% Milk?

Do they all have the same nutritional value?
Is one less healthier than the other?
Am I just wasting my time with 2% and should be getting the whole milk because its the same crap?

When wet, my daughter's hair has a bad metallic smell on the ends. (She is 8.) The scalp smells clean, but even after washing, the metallic smell on the ends won't go away. My mom thinks it could signify a medical problem of some kind. Has anyone else ever encountered this problem? I may just cut off a few inches and see if it goes away, but if I can get rid of the smell, I'd prefer not to cut it.

Is it possible for someone to just become "Bi-Polar"?
I am 29 yrs old and for the last 4 yrs my ability to cope with my regular bouts of depression has become almost impossible. I feel that I am about to have a total melt down. I went to our local mental health screening place and they got me an appointment for Nov. 15th. I just hope I am not dead by then, but I guess that is the best they can do for free care. It's like you can only fill a balloon with so much air before it burst and I am just about there. Every self help test I take points to that bi-polar thing are these tests suggestive for the drug company? Is there a test I can take that is similar to what the doctor will use? Is it possible I may have had this disorder my whole life and just unaware of the signs?

It seems absurd how some drugs are a perscription and some are not. We can cause harm very easy with some over the counter drugs as well as perscribed.

I just feel its like the car some things almost seem done on purpose so you most have it serviced at a shop. So do you think it is at all a monopoly for the health industry in a whole?
