Health - 27 October 2006

I banged my head really hard getting into my car last thursday and almost knocked myself out. Though there is no mark on my forehead at all, it is still really painful to touch and for the past week I have been feeling faint, dizzy, nauseus, stiff in my neck, and have had a splitting headache despite munching pain killers. Is this concussion? Should I see a doctor? How long will it last? It's driving me nuts, I feel drunk all the time. Any advice?

hi, yesterday in gymnastics i twisted my hand and landed on it, and since then my little finger and all the way down the side of my hand and to about half way up arm really hurts, but i can move my fingers except i can't my little finger all the way without it giving me a shooting pain. it doesn't hurt at the top of my finger but on my knuckles and my arm. i don't think i've broken it but i don't know if i have just strained it or something like that? well thanks for your replys if you post one :)

an effort to answer. For those that are interested in getting a stuck ring off their finger........spray your finger with window cleaner and it just pops off............Just thought I'd share a tip that gave me much pain earlier in the year. It really works!

My sister has been diagnosed with colon cancer. She has had two operations to remove the cancer cells and is now going thru chemo which they are doing thru a port they inserted into her chest. Her faith is failing her and since she has two beautiful granddaughters and one on the way I keep telling her to fight for them. She is very scared and I know this but although I tell her God can cure all things she still gets so depressed especially after a treatment which really has startred making her very ill. I pray for daily but I still worry about her mental state. She is only 52. Is there anything else I can do?

My son (who is almost 2) had peanut butter at a friend's house a couple of weeks ago and was fine (it wasn't given to him, he took it from another child's plate). Last week my daughter and I were eating some peanuts and again my son took some, I wasn't overly worried as he'd already had the peanut butter and been fine. However, this time, within a couple of minutes he started coughing and was then sick, but was absolutely fine in himself. The next morning when he got up he had patches of little raised bumps all over, not red, just under the skin. If I go to the doctor and tell him this wil he send him for an allergy test or tell me to try him again at a later date? I know anaphylaxis gets worse with each exposure so I don't really want to risk him coming into contact again without being prepared.

screaming with pain and saying she thought she thought she was going to faint.

She is well known for being a drama queen, especially when attention is focused on someone else, which it is today as one of our colleagues is leaving. We're all going out after work. The last something similar happened with the secretary it was the day of our Christmas party which also put a dampner on things.

I tried to keep her as calm and comfortable as possible until her husband came to collect her (she refused to go to hospital or let us get an ambulance).

Do you really think something could be wrong with her or does she behave like this for attention. I'm afraid she will cry wolf too often but also feel guilty for doubting her. She is a real hypochindriac.

Over the last 3 days I have had the basic same dream twice. I wake up early in the morning and fall back asleep and have it. In the first dream I am running later for the subway and run to get it only to see my dad (who passed away just this week 2 years ago) also try and catch the subway and I wait for him but the subway leaves before we get on...then the subway stops and we get in...but I leave a suitbag of clothes outside as the train pulls away. The next dream I am late to catch a subway again...the subway is leaving but it stops and I get in and I meet a friend who happens to be in the same car (I don't often speak with this friend)...once again I tell him that I left a suitbag of clothes with another friend and I hope he makes it home so that he can give it to me!

What is going on...this is almost recurring...to give you another thought I am thinking about getting engaged vey soon and I know my g/f parents are not happy and think we are rushing etc.

Please help....

Any one out here have Graves Disease? I do, mildly, and I struggle with it. I've been to all the Dr.'s and basically there is nothing that can be done. I'm ok in the mornings but as the day progresses it gets worse, but not too bad. I have to tilt my head to the right to see clearly, watch tv, etc. If you have it too, how do you deal with it?
