I work on the computer a lot, and sometimes I wear a wrist brace (throughout the day). It helps a bit, but not a lot. What are some things you've found to relieve carpal tunnel symptoms?

What the heck is going on?

Lately, I've been seeing myself out of my body, holding an IV needle, shoving it into my left wrist. I slowly die. Really freaks me out and I start shaking and get sweaty. Happens a few times a day even when I'm driving. If I look at my left hand, I trip out. I really feel the needle inserting into the top of my wrist. As far as I know, I have never had a IV in my left wrist. More info about me: 44yo male, taking trileptal, verapamil, requip, sometimes midrin and imitrex. Suffer from cluster migraine headaches and episodic mood disorder.

For starters, I am not sexually active and I am very hygienic. I even wear cotton underwear to stay clean. For the past week I ahve been having lower back craps as if I were about 2 start my period. However, nothing has ever happened. The other day I went 2 the bathroom, and on the toilet paper there was a clear discharge that was blood tinged. I have not had any itching or burning or any type of irritation. Another thing that I have noticed is that I have been having a light brown discharge in my panties. It is NOT old blood from a previous menstrual cycle. I dont know what is going on. I think that i have a UTI or a bladder infection, or even a kidney infection. However, I have not had any burning or itching or any type of odor. The bad cramps and aches in my sides are killing me. BTW, it is not ovulation bc I would def. know. Any help would be appreciated

Sady, you've got to listen to this. I swear, it's funny as hell. These yahoo-working people got me with a seriously complicated rule.

Context
Some content may be more appropriate in certain contexts than others. For example, questions regarding women's health issues are entirely appropriate in the Women's Health category, but are inappropriate if addressed in a sexual or otherwise inappropriate context.

Thats what it said. I said wtf to something some girl was wanting to have injected in her bloodstream. Like something alive. I got in trouble.

Now, how many times a day do you think thats happened.

Now, also, do you think you get a glow like a suntan (not as strong) on your face from lighting things close enough to your face you can feel the heat real good. Like get you wam in the winter good.

Someone today said I am consuming too few calories. Since I am on a diet, I figured I had to cut back and on a typical day I ate like 1200 anyway. I am 5'4, weigh 134lbs and want to lose 15lbs by the end of December. I am eating really healthy balanced organic meals, mostly fruit, vegetables and lean meat. I exercise one hour of cardio a day, 5 times a week and do strengh training one hour a day 3 times a week. For those of you who know about this stuff, does this sound like a good plan to attain my goal?

okay, i've been looking up acne products forever and now my eyes hurt, so i'm turning to you guys. i have severe acne but i don't want to take accutane. i've tried differen gel (that just dried out my skin), proactiv (that kept my skin clean, but didn't clear it up and i used it ofr almost 6 months). Not to mention everything from Neutrogena, clean and clear, aveeno, ect. Some stuff worked better than others, but never made a major difference. Right now, i am just back to neutrogena. i'm so tired of blotchy, red, inflammed, pimply skin. So I am asking, what is the thing you would recommend above everything else?

Last year i started having stomach pains, so I went to the doctor and I had all kind of tests done and they didnt find anyting. Finally he send me to a specialists, but I never went cause I just got tired of doctors. Now a year later the pains are back. The pain can be so painful that it wakes me up at night and also, can last through out the whole day. One thing that's odd about this is that when I lay on my side it doesnt hurt as much.
(Im a virgin, no drugs, nothing like that, I eat the way I should be eating.)

I was diagnosed recently (one month ago) with sever hypertention (at the ripe age of 23) I was perscribed pills, but im not too keen on all the side effects. Im under an extreem amount of stress and its leading to the anxiety as well as aiding on the hypertention. I do meditation and try to relax with candels, exersize and baths etc...But its only a temperary fix. (Like its only relieved while doing the activity). Any ideas on alternative treatments??? Or any feedback on whats worked for anyone whos been through this???

I hear so many different 'stories' about getting immunized...flu shots, polio, etc.....Either there are strong avocates of getting your child immunized OR there are other individuals that are strongly apposed to it.
My 4 year old son just received the flu shot this evening...I feel like I did the wrong thing.....Something in my gut told me like the shot was only going to cause more problems than good (if that makes sense).
Are there any other parents or individauls that haven't given their child/children all their shots.? I have a 3 month old....I am thinking about not vaccinating her because of all the things I heard. (although she has had her 2 month set of shots I don't feel like I want to continue them).....I guess I would like to know about your opinion and your personal experiences on this issue....
Thank You Very Much,

What remedies have u actually used that worked? whether it be beauty, home, etc.

i have actually just recently started using BAKING SODA to wash my teeth, to get them whiter, i start off witha small childs toothbrush, wet it, then dip it in the baking soda and brush my teeth top and bottom, then rinse, then sometimes grab the balled up baking soda caused by the wetness of dipping, and scrub it on my teeth, then i rins again, and then brush regularly with toothpaste. I started this on the 7th of november , and have already seen a drastic change in my teeth color! i didnt think it would work but i was willing to try anything...

for about a month now i've had symptoms appearing vaguely but are now worse. in fact just went for upper gi w/small bowel contrast view. anyway most of my pain is in center and left side not right (but I hear pain can radiate) it's near the left and under belly button area. gassy, very nauseated, i feel crampy like i am going to constantly have the runs but don't, bloated or full feeling, have a hard time sleeping at night because of back pain. also woke up in middle of night a few times with a clammy sweaty feeling like i was going to be sick. when i went for the upper gi, the fizzy stuff and barium literally put me in pain immediately (don't know if that's normally what that stuff does) my pain doesn't necessarily happen after I eat it's getting pretty constant now. spent weekend in hospital where they did an abdominal cat scan & pelvic ultrasound--found nothing. a hida scan is next but i had this done about 2 years ago when i had some similar but not so intense problems.
