I just got a prescription for Bentyl for IBS. I've taken Zantac for years for acid reflux. I know that Bentyl is, in part, an antacid, and my mom told me not to take my Zantac while I'm on the Bentyl (3x a day for 3 days, then 2x a day for 2 weeks). My doctor never said anything about it. My guts are still spasming and I have awful heartburn. Can I take the Zantac, or should I just give the Bentyl time?

I just changed from a pen to a syringe. Do you inject the air into the vile while holding it right side up (air into air) or upside down (air into insulin)?

Sounds dumb, but the nurse never explained it.

Ok, there is this guy i really like and have been involved with for a while, and i told him that my late husband died. But i didn't tell him how, he found out from a few friends in town and now he is really freaked out and wont talk to me. I sorta killed my last husband, but the courts ruled it as self defense because he was a violent man. But many people dont believe that it was self defense and they have told my lover to stay away from me. It is horrible and i need help. How do i make him understand im not a cold blooded killer? I love him so very much.

It's diameter is only about the size of a quarter, but it's still a nice sized knot in the lower of my back. It doesn't normally hurt, but it does get sore to the touch, probably because since I have discovered it, I haven't left it alone. What could this be?

What weight would you consider 'very thin' for someone who is 5'1? I don't want to be anorexic but I don't want to be average or 'healthy' weight either. Please help!

Unlike my other questions, this is serious. Before you read my story, I want to say that I’ve had a concussion before(during summer program, tripped on fence wiring that didn’t make me fall, but go forward real fast into the ground head first, got up and told my friends I was fine because strangely I didn’t really feel any pain, felt), the doctors said it wasn’t severe(no bleeding or anything) after doing what I believe was a CT scan(I was in 4th grade), but I felt EXTREMELY nauseous and dizzy at the time. In a time period 2-3 weeks later after that incident, I hit my head 2 times maybe, but it was really nothing. I’ve felt fine in my head since then! It’s been 5-6 years.

Also keep in mine when I use the word ‘better’, I really mean less than ok, minor improvement, etc.
