a bump there. It gets sore sometimes but it didn't appear until I bit my cheek. Is it possible to get a bump there even if it was a couple months ago and why does it get sore sometimes?

About four years ago I visited the dentist and had my last cleaning (I've been 95% cavity-free all my life), but had to return to see a hygenist and get my gums "scraped" (great fun that was). I went back to school for three years and now am having problems again. My gums bleed ALL the time, especially when I brush or floss (I brish often but, admittedly, have slacked off on the flossing the last couple of years). In addition, I have "old man" breath and it's getting to be embarrassing since I work in customer service. I will be getting dental insurance in about three months and want to wait to see the dentist until then. In the meantime, there are small white puffy patches above my two front teeth. The best temporary solution I can find is rinsing with hydrogen peroxide, but that's only temporary. What can I do in the meantime until I'm eligible for dental insurance?

I am at work and unable to look up as much info. as I'd like to. I understand the weight you lose from it will come back if you do not maintain a healthy lifestyle. I understand it's good to take a multi-vitamin as the soup lacks a lot of nutrients. I aslo understand that bean-o should be on hand.
Has anybody done this diet? If so, what were your results?

Im 5'2" and 89 pounds, and on new years I managed to drink 2 glasses of champagne, 1 jello shot, and about 5 or 6 shots of other stuff at a party..

I drank all of this on an empty stomach, in less than 2 hours.. I also take 450 mg of wellbutrin xl..

Im scared because, although I remember drinking those drinks, I dont remember actually choosing to drink them, I also dont remember what I said to people, but I remember talking to them. I dont know what happened after the new year countdown, but sometime between 12am and 6am I passed out and woke up in a bed at this house (and yes I know how dangerous and stupid that was)

how serious is this..could I have died that night? what is a safe amount of alcohol for someone my size to drink, and how do you know when to stop?

Hello all. Thank you so much for your helpful answers. I went to the doc yesterday. I don't know I don't feel a lot better. He felt it and said it was a swollen lymph node. But he said he did not think it was anything to worry about. Come back in 3-4 weeks to re-check. Then I told him over Christmas I had a temp of 101. and I have had pain off and on in the breast by the same armpit (remember breastfeeding for 12 mths) He said then come back in 2 weeks and if still there do a ultrasound. But he didnt tell me why or what he thought. I love him but he was in a hurry and I still dont know if I have something horrible wrong. Why did he change it to 2 weeks?

The termination was a couple of months ago and seemed to go fairly smoothly, or a smoothly as could be hoped for, but over the last few weeks she has got so down shes hardly recognisable at times. I want to help because I love her a lot but feel completely shut out and impotent.

I suffer terribly with hot/burning feet at night and have done now for over 25 years. I read on a website that it can be caused from soddium sacharin, which I did find in diet pops and sweetex, both of which I use. I changed my sweetners and made sure my pop did not contain soddium sacharin, this did help for a while but the restlessness and burning sensation has came back with a vengance. My GP has no suggestions and says its a sign of good circulation, this does not comfort me when I am still awake at silly oclock looking for a cold spot to put my feet on!!. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

my daughters school called today and said that she may have lice. but they weren't sure. when she came home i could see tiny little white things but but couldn't tell. i could easily pull them out of her hair with my fingers (no nails) when i called the dr she said it was probably just dandruff.. i check everyone else and nobody in the family has anything like this... we all use the same combs & brushes too.. now im just paranoid that she does have lice but hubby said to listen to that dr. and that she doesn't have lice ... is the lice really hard to pull out?

I've been working out, pretty steady for a month or so. I find that my joints are getting sore from my workouts (feels like tendinitis). I'm feeling it in my left elbow on a consistent basis. I've been checking my workout form, and everything seems to be by the book (no improper strain on tendons or joints). I take no supplements whatsoever, just good ol' fashioned high protein/carb foods after my workouts. I hear that there are natural supplements out there that people take to prevent joint pain, but I dunno...I'm not a pill guy. Any suggestions on what I should do?

For some reason or another my doctor and his nurse told me to let the suboxone tablets desolve under my tounge.They kept stressing not to swallow them.Why is that?Is there more of an intense effect if you let them desolve under your tounge or swallow them?Or is it because they might make me sick or something?I've never heard of this kind of thing.

I have a case of ringworm that was not responsive to over a month of treatment with Ketoconazole cream. Since the cream failed my doctor prescribed Diflucan. It has been 3 days and the spots are getting bigger, and more inflamed. How long should this take??? Shouldn't they be getting better???

For some reason my belly button just reaks. I don't know why. I clean it everyday with soap and water and it still stinks. There's kind of like a wet discharge that dries in to a brown crust-like substance. I know...sick.

I'm just wondering has anybody ever experienced this and what is it from? Why does it happen?
