Health - 8 November 2006

A couple days ago I caught a cold and then it lead to me feeling pain on the left side of my neck, it could possibly be my lymph nodes that are swollen. It really hurts and I think it could become more serious. I've taken cold meds..including advil and nothing has stop the pain... my nose is still runny. The pain in my neck is bothering me it feels like its in my left ear too. I do know that I cannot hear very well from my left ear. my left eye feels like its swollen and when i move it feels weird, it gets watery too. when i blink, only my right one.. blinks normally.. but my left one also feel kind of numb. . I can see though.. and thats good thing. Im thinking of going to a clinic or something.. but I would have to pay out of pocket. I do not have insurance.. any suggestions on what I should do.???

My son has been exposed to a couple of people just before and just after they started showing symptoms of a stomach virus. What is the incubation period for stomach viruses, and how long do they last? What are the best ways to prevent my son from coming down with it if he doesn't already have it. No symptoms yet, but how long until I can say, "Oh good, he hasn't gotten it yet, so he's not getting it"?

My son sleeps on a foam mattress. He keeps having these bites on arms, legs and body. I vacuum and steam dry the mattress and pillows but the bites came back after a while (2weeks or so). Is there any way to really get rid of the bugs ? Do tthey live in wooden bed frames as well ?

I have a small swell on my knee. It's been there for awhile. It doesn't hurt when I press on it but when I tried to put ice on it last night, it hurt alot. It doesn't hurt when I put weight on it but when I swing my leg forward during my stride, I can feel it hurt (but it's not terrible.) Should I get it checked out or just wait to see if it goes away?

I hate myself. I keep on messing up. Right now I have a headache, I am nauseaus, my skin is all torn up from me scratching it, I keep scratching my skin because I itch all over. All of this because I keep buying pills from people at school in an attempt to get high. I wish I wasn't like this. I've tried not buying them but I want them so bad. I am a complete and utter wreck.

I've been trying for years to lose weight. My butts too big, I'm a tad overweight, and so forth. What would be a good diet that I can follow that would show results with not only my waist, but with my butt as well?

Does anyone have small involuntary movements while they are trying to fall asleep? For example, while you're lying in bed, one of your legs kicks a little.

Or sometimes I feel like I'm falling for a split second.

I just noticed today I got a lil tiny wart on the inside of my thumb. I had a couple back in grade 7 and I used the tape/band aid method. But it took months. Anything quicker? I don't want it to spread!
I am thinking I just noticed it because typically I wear thumb rings, and I took them off last night and I forgot to put them back on.
I read that stress causes them to re-appear, oh boy I believe it! lol
Thanks all!

I was on birth control pills for 7 years, and just went off them about 4 or so months ago. I get the WORST PMS ever now, and I have no sex drive what-so-ever. I know it's my hormones, but what do I do??? My poor boyfriend. I feel horrible cause I'm 1/2 a raging lunatic for 2 weeks out of every month, and then I don't even want to be touched! Ahhhh! This is horrible!

I dreamt I went to the bathroom and when I looked in the toilit I saw a lot of blood in there and could feel it flowing down from me. What does it mean?

Ok I'm sorry for the gross details, but I'm kind of worried.

Everytime I have my period, it is really really bad. I have so much pain and am completely unable to do anything on the 1st-2nd day. I bleed so much... I know they say it's normal to bleed however many ounces, but how do I know how much I bleed? I'm not going to stick a measuring cup down there for 5-6 days!

I really feel that I bleed a lot... too much. I have my period for 5 or 6 days and it's only that short because I'm on birth control. Before I was on it, it would sometimes be 7, and even one time 12 days (but that was wayyyy when I first got my period so it coulda just been my body getting used to it or whatever...)

I'm on the pill (2nd kind b/c 1st didnt help), I get really bad cramps, and bleed a lot... what really worries me is that I have lots of big blood clots too... It's really gross...

Anyone have any suggestions as to what is wrong? I am so worried I wont be able to have kids one day or something...
