Also back up codeine phosphate 60 mgs. plus benzodiazepam (valium blue 20 mgs-2 tabs twice daily)Prilosec for peptic upcers due to worrying about the severity of my accident results, and the meds caused holes in stomach, just my opinion at least. This is the only way so far that after 17+ years, I am not a "frequent flyer" in my local hospital, as I was each and every two-three (tops) weeks, dehydrated, untolerable pain, vomiting from severe pain. I have a super rare genetic blood disease, of which only 4 people in my country have. (Thus resulting in all those years on mild pain killers, which built up to hard narcotics, such as vicodin, then onto opiates, such as self administered and prescribed Dilaudid, I did IM-which is intra-muscular-now I do not have to stick myself with a jab several times a day. We've tried an implanted Morphine pump, did nil, and electrical device in my back, no good!-seems I can only stay stable on all the meds I said,tolerance is thru the roof.

A friend of mine has been having bad bouts with OCD. She's on 3 kinds of meds. Last week she asked me for money to buy groceries. I knew she didn't need groceries, She wanted money to get her nails and hair done. I refused to give her money. I told her to call the church. They wouldn't give her money either, but offered to buy her some groceries. She turned them done. Well she was very angry at me for not giving her money. She sent me an email the other day, posing as her mother accusing me of having an affair with her husband. I had her pastor confront her about it. She admited it was her. She's also sent notes to me at my work. My boss wrote her a letter- not to send me notes at my work, or she will hear from work's lawyer. I am getting worried she will attack me from behind. Should I be worried? What should I do? I have cut off all contact with her.

Around 6 months ago I went on a Caribbean holiday and slapped on lots of tanning lotion, factor 30 to stop myself burning. I put the lotion on all round my face but "avoided the eye area" as suggested on the bottle, and ended up with burnt eyes! At the time it was funny to have to rings round my eyes but now, because the skin is so sensitive, it turns pink and stands out whenever my face gets hot or whenever the blood rushes to my skin, and it looks rank! It doesn't hurt, it just changes colour and feels warm. The sunburn wasn't great but it didn't blister or anything like that.

So my question is- how can I restore this skin to its natural state and get my eyes looking even with my face again? Is there anything medical/herbal that I can do to soothe it back to normal?

To clairfy I don't have fair skin and I don't burn easily or often. Thanks!

It used to hurt like heck for days after doing an ab workout. Now it doesn't. Is it because I had a c-section? Are my ab muscles permanently damaged?

My partner has mentioned to me that during sex his penis goes numb but he maintains his erection. After ejaculation he says the penis stays numb but soon returns to normal. It is not completely numb but is numb enough that he can hold a cold drink against it without feeling to much coldness.

Is this a normal sensation?

I can't orgasm with him. Not orally or through intercourse. What do I do? Is it because I'm tense, because sometimes I am. If so, how do I loosen up, mentally?

what is a good stomach treatment liner, i hate MILK, yuck, although not so bad with a milkshake mixer but is there anything else that makes a good stomach liner - something that you can eat or drink that coats your stomach lining and helps it barrier itself against irritants like alcolhol, curries and painkillers, lol
