Say you have a man or woman who was born with a disibility such as burn with no arms or legs does the government cover financially for that person if they can't afford to pay some one to come in and take care of them, such as a nurses aid, personal support worker, etc... If not what is that person to do??
Just wondering...

It developed really fast over 2 days, and it's on the corner of my eye, inside, near the nasal bone. I went to my university health clinic but they said that it was a tear duct blockage, WHICH IT IS NOT, because I don't have tears streaming down my face.

I'm scared that it will grow again?

Have you guys experienced this and what is it? Remember, it's not on my lid, but it's in it, near the nasal bone...it's not visible from the outside but the lump is there.

My Doctor gave me a rigid neck brace to wear to help with a herniated disc in my neck, I am suppose to wear it until I go back to the Doctor in 3 weeks. He said I really needed to completely rest my neck and give the nerves that are irritated a chance to heal. I think it may be helping but it is hard to tell. Does this treatment sound right ? I am suppose to start physical therapy next week.

Please help! I've been trying to lose weight for years and haven't found the right diet for me. Right now I'm just trying to shed a few pounds to get me started on a diet I can stick to without the weight coming all back. If anyone has had a successful diet(would help if it included the cereal diet),please tell me!!!! Thank you :)

I have a broken molar, farthest back on left side. I fainted ar work Weds last week, and again Thanksgiving day, ,and again this afternoon. While flossing Weds night experienced blinding pain at the sight of that tooth. I have just been feeling fatigued along with the symptoms mentioned in my question. At what point would a dentist consider this an emergency and remove the tooth.
My boss won't let me come back to work until I have a resolution I am trying to determine if I should go to my dentist or another doctor. I have no insurance and limited resources and need a quick resolution. I am trying to minimize expense by not seeing multiple practioners.

Please only respond if you have first hand experience or medical background.

I'm terrified.

For the last few weeks, I've been eating, and I've been throwing my food back up.

Some have told me that I could be diabetic.

Is this true? If it's a sign that diabetes is on its way, is there any way to stop it? What should I do if this IS a sign of diabetes?

P.S. I am 13 years young.

Okay ladies. If you were working at Mrs. Field's one night and a guy came in around your age and bought a cookie or something, and then asked what time you were getting off your shift because he'd like to take you to a movie after your shift, what would you say?

And would you rather him say he would like to or ask if you would like to see a movie?

I train in muay thai & you have to b quiet lean and muscely with this sport & it is a good workout too.. But I havent lost any weight in the 2.5 months I have been doing it, so now has come the point to adjust my diet.. any input if I am doing anything wrong or helpfull hints would be great!!
at the moment my daily diet consists of (I have been doing this for a week.. hopefully it will work)
brekky - bran or wheetbix (x2) with skim milk & a banana and honey to sweeten, or baked beans or honey on wholemeal toast .. weekends - eggs on toast..
Snack - an Apple or watermelon or both
Lunch - small tin of tuna (or chicken peices), small container of lettuce, 1 carrot, ...& meal replacement bar (if still hungry)
snack - small yoghurt.
Dinner - Grilled or baked chicken or seafood or steak with salad & 1 potato.. salad does include avacado, cashews & legumes)

My dad is in a rock band, and he said that while he was playing, he had an extreme headache like never before, and now he's burning up a bit.

I was wondering what could possibly be wrong with him? Do you think it's from stress?

My friend is a quarter of an inch shorter than me and hasn't grown since the last two years. She says that having a menstrual period for a while can slow down ur growth in height. I first didn't believe her, but then i notice that i havent grown either since the last two years? I thought maybe it was depend on our genes.(her mom is 5'2 and her dad is 5'12-6'0, while my parents are 5'8 1/2 and dad 6'1) Is she right?

So I have this odd supersticion where I think that if I masturbate one day....the following day will be really bad. I have obviously masturbated a lot in my life, and I just feel like when I do, the next day always sucks (and on the days I don't...the following days are really good). Ugh.,..I have paid attention to this over the years and it never fails! HELP

Ok so I was sick for like a month and finally went to the doctors and got antibiotics. They didn't know what it was... tested me for mono and all that. So it musta just been some bacteria or whatever...

Now I feel wayyy better (I finished the antibiotics over a week ago), but sometimes when I cough there is still some phelgm that comes up. What the heck is going on? I feel fine otherwise...

I mean it could just be me still getting better from it, but seriously I'm feeling so good right now. Could there be something up w/my lungs? It sometimes hurts when I breathe really deep- the doctor listened and said they sounded fine tho..

Thanks everyone :)
