Health - 8 December 2006

i was brushing my teeth, then i just started walking around upstairs. i went to the play room and started looking at my old toys and books and all my old memories. the toothbrush was still in my mouth. then all of a sudden, i sneezed. i didn't want the toothpaste to fall on the ground, so i put my head up instead, and the toothpaste went in my mouth by accident. i tryed to get it out by coughing, but no use..... i went to look at the toothpaste tube, and it said contact the poison control thing if swallowed.

but am i gonna die if i did swallow it?

Some say you can cure completely with some techniques. But that presupposes a wrong learned behaviour and other psychological issues. But what if you are biologically predisposed?

I DO NOT SMOKE NOR HAVE I EVER SMOKED OR PUT ANY KIND OF CIGARETTE NEAR MY LIPS OR MOUTH.
I have used softlips & got a bad reaction to it & didn't know at first it was from it because I thought it was a cold sore & I kept on using the softlips or maybe it was an old outdated lipstick...doesn't really matter now because it happened & damaged my lips...see here in these pics what happened to my lips :((( :((

In the pics you can see around the lips are very dark & at the edges, dark spots formed...they look really nasty. :(
I have never really paid attention to them until just recently..I think they have been like that for almost 2 years.
I told my doctor & she prescribed Hydrocortisone..which I heard is a steroid and will only make it worse..so I stopped using it after just a few days.What can I do to make them back to normal again? Anything please?

Besides being allergic to grass, trees, pollen, etc., I have also been found to be allergic to dust mites and cat dander. But I have ALWAYS lived with at least one cat (now have two) and I never had these issues before. What could be causing such bad allergy symptoms in winter? Do dust mites get worse or cat dander / fur get more potent in colder weather? Thanks for your help; my allergist doesn't seem very helpful to me, just tells me to get rid of cats and buy expensive stuff (vaccum, sheets, other things) to deal with it. I just would like some insight on this.

Would you recommend them over the traditional metal braces? Please, only people who know from own experience, I don't need internet links, I've read everything that is to be read about them.

I fell downthe staris in my building and broke, shatter my ankle. Was home with different cast for 6 mohts. After that I went to see the Workers Compemsation doctor and told hime that I could handle the pain with medications and patches.I was released from himand he told me to continue with my own doctor and my own insurace. However the case was never settle. The pain contiue to get worse and medications were making me feel dizzy and ended up with several block injections. This year in June the 9 screws and a plate that I had started to show and come out through the skin. I had to as Workers Comp for permission to get them out. It was totally necesdary. We ended up in Court , sugregry was approved. One week before the surgery a wheel chair faell right on my ankle ended up in the emergency room again. After the metal was taking out I went back for block injecctions. At this time my doctor told me that the inusrance was very upsedt since my case was never closed.

My 20 month old son is at high risk for asthma , 1. because he was born premature 2. he has acid reflux , dont know why thats linked to asthma but it is 3.He has slight allergie's ,mosty in winter.Okay It is very hard to diagnose a child for asthma because they can coperaqte during the test . If the child has extreme astma the symptoms alone are relivant enough for a diagnosis and the child will be treated.Okay my question is how long dose a attack last ? Can it last only 4 seconds? My son will take 4 fast deep breaths, then he is fine he will run off playing. My first thought was astma attack , but the more i thought about it the more unclear i was, It seems like a astma attack would last longer than 4 seconds , it seems like if it was asthma i would have intervene with medicine /inhaler to help the attack , it wouldnt be self corrected.Please dont say talk to the doctor a idiot , because his doctor is an idiot, I have a albuteral inhaler here in case of an emergency ,
