She has already been Baker Acted 3 or 4 times and always released to me. I don't have the tools to deal with her. She continues to use hydrocodone, somas, percaset, anti anxiety meds. Doctors continue to write perscription after perscription she claims she has back pain. Pain clinics will give her whatever she wants. Living is impossible. She is becomming more insane everyday.

I have had rsd since I was nine. It started in my right ankle. Now i'm hypersensitive everywhere, and even a bump in the hallway can be killer. The only thing is its not purple like my leg is, and I can tolerate some touch, so I was told it could be Fibromyalgia. I'm also always tired, no matter how much sleep I get.

My husbands doctor said that there is a tumor-like thing inside of everyones brain. He said that the one inside my husbands brain is abnormally large, and he should have yearly MRI's to monitor it. Since they are very expensive, I thought I'd try to do some research on it before we have the test done. However, I haven't been able to find anything on the subject, and I'm limited because I don't even know what the thing is called. The doctor who told him this was an E.R. doc, and I can't recall his name. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I have been doing a lot of bicep curls along with all the other stuff but I mostly focus on that. I have started to focus more on the triceps and stopped doing bicep curls. my biceps are getting bigger, bigger than when I was doing the curls. My triceps are getting much bigger too so I am currently enjoying what is happening. I was just curious if this is strange or if this happens to some other people too.

When getting critical surgery in the USA, does one have to pay before or after the surgery is conducted?

What if one cannot afford it? What are some financing options?

I am 18 years old, I weigh around 125, and I have a bad diet but am not willing to budge on that. I have tried before with even a nutrisionist, I'm simply just too picky about food. I eat mainly chicken strips, macaroni and cheese, and things children would eat. I don't eat any vegetables and rarely any fruit. I do not eat fish either.

I am currently taking these supplements: "AIM" Barleylife at 4 capsules 2 times daily, "Pure encapsulations" Calcium Magnesium Citrate at 3 capsules a day, "Pure Encapsulations" EPA/DHA essentials at 2 capsules a day, and "Pure Encapsulations" Probiotic–5 at 1 capsule daily, "

http://www.purecaps.com/
http://www.theaimcompanies.com/...
There are the sites my supplements are from if you need to look them up

My questions are:

1) Concerning all of my current supplements, am I on what I should be?

2) Do I need a multi-vitamin or is the barley life sufficient?

2) Is there anything else I should be taking for my general health and the issues I discussed?

My eyes have been bothering me a lot recently especially my right eye. I wear contacts and thought that maybe they were just getting to dry or something, but one of my friends said they wondered if I had pink eye. What's the deal? How can I tell the difference between pink eye, irritated eye, and allergy eye?

I workout in weightlifting everyday in school, and we do upperbody one day then lower body the next, for the entire week. But I like to work my chest, triceps, and biceps everyday. Does this hurt my arms and kill the muscle, or help it grow more?

Here's a two part question......I have arthritis in my knees but I try to stay active. I walk/slow jog a few nights a week. I take the stairs whenever possible and stretch regularly. My legs still feel achy from my feet to thighs. Since I am only 40 and otherwise in decent shape, I'm not real interested in taking meds. (Doc says it's just the arthritis and wants to push pills on me.) Is it possible that my footwear is more of a problem than my arthritis??? I wear just basic athletic shoes (read...cheap) instead of "Walking" shoes for regular activities or "Running" shoes when I go on my Walk/jogs. Do you REALLY need to buy the more expensive shoes? Do they really make a difference in how your feet and legs feel, even hours after an activity????

Obviously, this is a hard one to answer, but, the mechanism of dying is in all of us. I think, that no matter what you die of, even though you may feel pain at first, your brain creates an altered, almost 'mind tripping' state of conciousness to make the transition so we dont know it's even happening. Or this could just be an adrenaline rush - What do you's think??
