Health - 20 December 2006

Hi,

I know this is bad but i dont know where else to turn...

I have depression and am a self-mutilator. I recently cut myself really deep, pastt he fatty tissue but not any veins, and i tried to close it up by using butterfly strips to hold the wound closed together while bandaged. However, after two days i removed the bandage to let it 'breath' and noticed that one side of the incision is tucked under the wound which means the cut is not healing the way it should..the fatty tissue is sticking out and i can't push it down/in and pull the cut together over the fatty tissue. What will happen to the fatty tissue or better yet to my wrist? I do not want to see a doctor for fear that they might report me as being suicidal although I wasnt trying to kill myself. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Each night before I fall to sleep, I have a million things on my mind. What do you do to unwind and make it easier to get good rest?

Hi, I just found out that one of my friends has Hodgkinsons disease and is going for radiotherapy. Since it is radiotherapy and not chemotherapy does it means that it less severe? I don't don't much in this area so any information will be greatly appeciated. Thank You.

I am 31 yrs old and from some months until now I have been feeling extremely tired, besides that I wake up with terrible muscle and joint pains. I went to see if my thyroid was ok and my blood and urine tests came out a bit weird but nothing alarming so they retest my blood and everything came out fine. I kept feeling tired, my right hand fingers (2 of them) started to swell and get hot from one day to another my neck started hurting a lot and my hair started to fall out. Went to see the doctor this time a new one, he sent me for a MRI and blood test for Rheumatoid factor, sedimentation rate, ANA, HIV, hormones, etc. Everything came out fine except my ANA test which came out + with and 80% speckled and my MRI showed degenerative changes in my C6-C7. He wants to give me antimalarial medicine but I don't want to take it before I know what I have, has anybody gone throu something similar and know what it is? He says it could be arthritis, but does arthritis give you all this symptoms?

A couple of weeks ago I met a man, 71 years old, who had cancer. He was about to have surgery that next morning. He told me that up until just a few months ago, I guess after he had been diagnosed with cancer, he had never taken any prescription medication whatsoever.

I never really thought of it, but I just took it for granted everybody, even the healthiest of us took prescription meds. Does this make sense to you?

I'm 24 and have had back pain since I was probably about 13 or 14. It varies in severity and location, but is usually in my lower to mid back and is just a constant ache. Other times I'll get an acute shot of pain, usually on a side of the lower back. What's the best remedy - chiropractor, acupuncture, exercises, etc? Any ideas are welcome! Thank you!

Beyonce and Ellen Degeneres said they tried it and it worked. Beyonce said she did for 14 days and lost 20 lbs....I thought its a good idea as a colon cleanse and quick way to lose weight(in addition to changing my diet overall and exercise). Did you try it? Did it work? Is this safe?

I really want to try it for the new year. Thanx for your help!

Help me out here. Is tar naturally occuring in tobacco, or is it something manufactured? If it's natural, why can't there be a way to remove it from the tobacco so the cigarettes will be safer?
