Every once in a while, portions of my fingers (like, the sections between the creases) will get really red and really, really, REALLY itchy. Like, painfully itchy. Unable to be ignored itchy. They get really hot, too, and there's a pulse. They swell up and get so tight it seriously feels like my finger might burst. There's no pain involved, just extreme itchiness and heat and the weird swelling. It goes away after 45 minutes or so.

Anyone know what this might be? I'm going to try to work up the courage to go to the dermatologist, but I feel so silly describing something so weird--especially when it's not happening *right that moment.*

A fortnight after giving birth my daughter is hospitalised because of severe bleeding [clothes soaking wet] and clots coming away. The medics have her on antibiotics and a drip but don't seem to be too concerned, which to me is surprising because last night it was a blue-light emergency situation.
Can anyone shed some light on a worrying situation?

The area above my left should hurts. When I tilt my head toward my right shoulder, and feel the area on my left side of my neck, it feels like some bone is straining. Anything I can do to get rid of it quickly? I know it will go away in a few days because it has happened before. I think I need a new pillow.

I was thinking since running burns calories, then a person that needs calories to gain weight shouldn't be running.

While travellling when I feel very tired at night, I go for a single peg of whisky (usually I don't consume hard drinks, so its enough for me) but it doesn't helps me to overcome fatigue, infact it makes me over active & due to this reason I can't sleep well. Moreover, country's time difference also disturbs the sleeping cycle. Next day is even more tiring as I feel sleepy & lethargic the whole day. This vicious circle trouble me a lot, while I am on travel. My question is are there any natural ways to reduce tiredness, specially for travellers. Secondly, can anyone recommend any other hard drink which can relax & helps in inducing sound sleep.
Reply prefered from travellers or doctors.
Thanking all of you in advance for taking out time for replying to my long & boring question.

My neighbour works in a bank. He and his wife (homemaker) do argue some times. She wants her husbend to agree whatever she tells. She does not bother for anything. If he won't agree due to any valid reason then she will go for hunger strike. She will starve for two or three days and fourth day she would start eating. Slowly she becomes normal. He is really bothering with her behaviour. How he can make her normal? Does she need any theraphy? I have seen same kind of behaviour with some other women too.

This is not a school question. If a diuretic will not help expel excess salt from the body, what will? Also, what if someone overate salt, how to expel the salt quickly from the body to prevent harm?

Obviously I'm okay now, but over the summer I pinched my arm between two cases of beer at work. IMMIDIATELY it got a huge goose-egg purple bruise. I think I burst a pretty big blood vessel. Anyway, like I said, I ended up being okay, but I STILL have a mark where it was. The massive bruise took a really long time to go away. Should I have maybe gone to the hospital or at least even the doctor? I saw him a month later and he said it was fine...

My neighbors daughter has a friend who was born with a birth defect. One of her arms is cut off just below the elbow. She is a really sweet girl and is 15. Problem is some ignorant people make fun of her. She acts like it doesnt bother her but I know it does and I just want to smack the **** out those people. Can someone help me with something she can say to these people. When children say things to her I told her to say that when she was little she made fun of someone and the manner monster did that to her. Is that wrong? Any suggestions?
