I thought I was finally beginning to be cured of GERD, and then I went to an acupuncturist who is also a GI doctor. He said that he doesn't believe that I need to restrict my diet, as long as I just don't drink coffee. So I had apple cider with cinammon twice. And I took an orange flavored Airborne. My difficulty swallowing became worse!! He must've been wrong!!!!!!!! Can I still get better? If I have to get my throat stretched are there any success stories out there after this procedure? And...does it hurt??

I have bipolar disorder. I've been manic for about 2 weeks and nothing is breaking it. I have not slept in 8 days, and before that I was only sleeping a couple hours a night. I have tried several "tricks" to get to sleep but nothing has helped. My doctor put me on Seroquel a couple days ago and it's not doing anything for me. How long does it take to work? I'm asking here instead of calling my doc because he's out of town. Thought maybe someone might give me a suggestion or two. I've tried a warm bath, warm milk, and burning a lavender candle, all of which are supposed to help with insomnia. Nothing. I just can't turn my mind off. I just keep thinking over and over about nothing important. Sometimes I just can't stop moving and I go out in the middle of the night with the dog to take her for a walk. I try to do quiet activities but sometimes I just can't stop pacing the floor. What can I do?

I have been having mild to moderate lower back pain since around May. It got better for awhile and then got worse again. It is usually the worst when I am trying to sleep or sitting down for long periods of time.

I went to the doctor a few times but it seems like all they want to do is sell me pain medication and not actually examine my back. Throughout this whole ordeal, no healthcare professional has actually examined my back. I'm not sure if this is common practice or not but it seems rather counter-productive to me.

I'm sure I didn't injure my back and the pain sort of came out of nowhere. It isn't a major strain on my life, but it is still annoying and I feel like it should have gone away by now. I mean I'm only 22 years old.

As sad as it is, I'm pretty confident I cannot trust my doctors because all they want to do is keep me on pain killers for months on end to mask the symptoms and to get me to stop asking them questions they don't have answers to.

What should I do?

Are antibiotics and penicilin the same thing?

And, which one works on a viral infection and which works for a bacterial infection?

Thank you.

I like reading these books but they almost always leave me disappointed. I'd rather read one of these though than go to a psychiatrist. Any suggestions? I don't care what topic, just self help books. I've got all kinds of problems. I don't want any religious self help books unless they are about how to free yourself from religious shackles or how to reverse the brain damage caused by Catholicism.

I am 27 years old and about 6 months pregnant. This is my third baby and it has been a hard pregnancy. I lost 30 pounds due to vomiting and still havent really gained much weight. My doctor is not too worried cause i am a little overweight to begin with. I also have diabetes. I was diagnosed after the birth of my last child in 2003. I have been having a lot of heart pain for the past couple weeks. It is only on my left side, near my armpit, and it does go in my arm or sometimes my neck. The pain i feel is different then i have ever felt.Meaning heartburn ect. It is a painful burning and sharp pain that usually doesnt last too long. My BP has always been good--usually on the lower side. But my heartrate has been on the faster side almost always. Usually 90-110. But now i am not only having pain but becoming out of breath and weak all the time and my HR is raising and is now usually between 130-160 often, even if i am not very active. Please help!

The News and is this different to organ transplants where life depends on a new organ. Is there any Doctor out there who has an opinion on the subject ? Clearly, I dont really understand whether this is purely cosmetic . I am very surprised that nobody has asked this question before.
