Hi there, sometimes when I ask my wife a question that she kind of agrees with or has no real opinion, her mouths forms like an upside down semi-circle. Is this normal?

Please help!

My aunt had a basketball sized tumor removed from her ovary last week and it was diagnosed as cancer. A whole hysterectomy was done. She is waiting on the biopsies of her other organs before she starts chemo treatment. Her husband lost his job in July, this job was what provided my aunt her benefits. She has no medical benefits and owes alot of money for the surgery she had and treatments to come. Does anyone know where we could apply for funding or money for cancer treatments??? Does anyone have access to information regarding ovarian cancer, that could be of some help? Please, I do not want them to lose their housing or go without eating because of her illness. We live in the Dallas metroplex area. Thank you and God bless

I know it's a weird question, but thanksgiving is coming up, and I thought it would be nice to get together a list of why pain can be a good thing so I can look at it when I'm really hurting - you know, just to lift the spirits a bit.

I thought of two:
1) The more I feel pain, the less I fear death (I'm just not so scared of the pain associated with it as much).

2) It's wonderful to see how my husband cares for me as he does his best to take care of me and my daily tasks when I'm down.

I would love to have a much longer list - so please share.

I know that it is good to drink plenty of water, but can I drink too much?

I normally pick at about 3 bph (bogies per hour) - if that helps!

...why do doctors still insist on shoving a catheter up your johnson to get you to pee? Really. What sick bozo clown came up with that idea? "How are you feeling today, Mr. Garcia?" "Well, I'm laying in a hospital bed, and there's a plastic pipe stuck up my hee-haw. How do you think I'm feeling? Perhaps you'd like to shove bamboo under my fingernails while I'm here."

I'm over 45 and recovering from Breast cancer. 2 years ago was diagnosed, had to have a modified radical mastectomy on left breast....now I'm on Texmoxifen for 5 years. I think I've gained about 25 lbs since. Do you think it's the menopause and Temoxifen combined? I'm 5'4 & weight about 180...I should be at 135! Am I ever going to be that weight again?

Is it possible that similarly our external environment can take us out of an episode too. For example if my husband is mean to me and I am already showing signs of stress or irritability that can be the trigger that pushes me into an episode. If he wasn't mean and nothing else happened I may be able to hold it together.
If my husband says sorry and tells me he shouldn't have said it and is tender then I can sometimes come out of it.
What do you think based on experience and knowledge?
No cruel or sarcastic answers please.

I am generally "down" and have a really hard time motivating and getting into a productive "mode." I also feel that my life is a completely tragic disaster. But, sometimes I just get so fed up with things that I "lose it" and go off on people. Does this sound like mania, or related to depression? I am trying to guage whether I am simply depressed, or bipolar.

Can you please tell me how long it will be until I can hear normally again? I have an ear infection in both ears. I have been on antibiotics for 5 days. I feel much better but have severly muffled hearing. How long did this last for anyone else out there who has suffered from this?
Thanks

3+ months ago I started with what I thought was pregnancy symptoms. After many neg. urine tests, 4 neg. blood tests, and 3 ultrasounds, it was confirmed that I was indeed not pregnant. However, the Dr’s did not find any abnormalities that would be causing my symptoms. I do not wish to be pregnant, have been on the pill for a year and never miss. I’ve been having periods on the expected dated, although they have been much lighter and shorter then usual. Symptoms are still here, as well as a growing belly. I have an appt. with a specialist in Jan. What gives. What could it be? I’m getting no where with the Dr’s & concerned.

Want to get my toddlers the flu shot without thermisol - curious if anyone knows if insurance will cover this the same way as the thermisol one. Obviously may have to check with them too.

I am 19 years old. I was supposed to start my period yesterday and I didn't. I have always been regular, and had normal periods my whole life. There is a chance I could be pregnant. I took a test yetserday and it was negative. I dont know if I didnt wait long enough before taking it or what. The test says it cant detect pregnancy up to 4 days before a missed period. Since I took it the same day I was supposed to start, maybe I didn't wait long enough. Also, since this morning whenever I go to the restroom(#1 or 2)...my stomach where cramps would be is very sensative. Its not cramps, just an uncomfortable sensation like I am straining my muscles in my lower stomach. Could that be a sign of pregnancy?

ATM, I've two lines of little lumps that look vaguely like the surface of a cat's tongue (one down each inner labium towards vaginal opening), and am itchy down there.

Me & g/f did each other over the w/e (She's never slept around, whereas I had a one night stand in Oct). Casual partna (M) had lots o wyt raised bits all over his upper face.

Wen me&gf did each other over 25-27 Oct, I found same lumps, itching and a white discharge all over me. Got tested, told it was thrush, took a pessary, was better until Monday (when I noticed the itching).

I'm beginning to have my doubts that I have thrush, but I really have no idea where to go, what to do or who to speak to.

That's all the detail I can think of for now. Ask for more background info if needed
