Health - 3 January 2007

I have had the worst headache ever and have just finished a nightshift. In my pain and tiredness i have been swallowing Ibuprofen 400mgs thinking they were 200mg tabs. At 1 go I took 3, ie 1200mg at once and I think in 24 hours I've probably taken 2400mg along with Paractemol. I felt a bit dizzy an hour after taking them but feel fine now and will take nothing else for a few days. Thing is, I've still got a bloody headache! Will I have done any damage with my stupidness?

well today it came off. i had braces for 3 years and its been about 4 years since ive had them off. so ive had the permanent retainer since then. I cant really rememvber what my ortho said but i do remember him saying as long as im 21 years old or older when it comes off than its okay. im 22 right now. It doesnt bother me that its gone. its just it feels weird behind my teeth like they need to be smoothed out. should i go to the dentist?

I like track shorts since they are shorter and don't flop around much when moving around. Of course I would wear a different shirt than shown here.

I'm having this to help with my anxiety but only have been a couple of times so far. Has anyone else had this therapy before and does it really help? My level of anxiety is very high so I don't believe it will help much.

I've never heard anybody make the same claim for any other form of alcohol, but several (in fact, all) of the hard core alkies I know, poor souls, mistakenly think that by consuming vodka they are somehow concealing their problem.

kind gross... but three years ago I felt a lump in my underarm and just let it go until it kept getting bigger and the pain was unbearable. I went to the er and they said it started as a blocked hair follicle and by the time they cut it open it turned into a staph infection. My dr said that it was just something that happens to people and nothing could prevent it. well a couple months ago I got another one but got on antibiotics before it got bad and then a month later I got another one! I know that not eveyone gets these! how can they be prevented? very very painful!

my athletes foot has cleared up and been gone for a few months, and i need the toenail fungus cleared up. any home remedies??

obviously either would be paired with plenty of water and exercise.
see I quit smoking jan 1st and I know that the decrease in nicotine will slow my metabolism 10% and since I lack a lot of muscle mass I will gain weight. I would like to combat that by dieting so....from personal experience people which diet would help me to lose weight quicker and be able to keep it off?

I did the atkins once and lost 17 lbs in 3 weeks but put the weight right back on when I went back to eating normal foods.
Never tried a low calorie diet...do they really work?
I am wanting to lose 50 lbs in a year and I already lost 25 last year so I know I can do it. I did it last year by cutting out soda completely and walking 30 mins a week. I have hit a stumbling block and now I need to take it that step further. So what do you think my diet should be?

Also have you ever heard of a low carb, low cal, high protein diet...and do you think it would work?

I was at the dentist today for the first time in 8 years, and it actually wasn't half as bad as I expected, I only have a few cavities which will need fillings, but he said I have a lot of plaque build up on my teeth and I need a "deep cleaning" - what does that mean and what does it involve? I think he said something about root scaling???? I can't really remember properly!!

When I wake up I feel absoutely terrible for hours. My head hurts. I am deppressed. I have bee this way for several years and I get worse as I get older.

Over the last week once in awhile, I get a pain in my chest behind the left breast. Also, once in awhile when I breathe I get a little whizey up the middle of my chest from my stomach up. I am not sick, nor do I smoke and am not around people that smoke. The pain in my chest sometimes gets to be bad enough that I have to take shallow breathes for it not to hurt. Then it goes away. I had this when I was younger and my doctor said it was due to growing pains - well I'm 25 now and not growing....

Just wondering if anyone else had this and what it could be from?
