My throat hurts so bad for almost a month straight. Medicine doesn't work and I went to see a doctor and his medicine didn't work. I don't have allergies or anything. When I say my throat is sore I mean that it is EXTREMELY painful and HURTS LIKE HECKKKwhen I try to swallow. What should I doooo? Salt water gargle doesn't work and I have excellent hygeine. Drinking tea and honey with lemon doesn't work either. Most sore throat medicines don't even help.

I was told not to drink any alcohol while on Isonaizid, all the information I've seen online says it's okay in moderation. I don't want any complications and my doctor is impossible to get a hold of. Just wondering if anyone knows information about how long to wait after finishing the medication.

My husband recently has had a few episodes on days he's been extremly tired that he will be in his recliner and for a few seconds, his vision is staticy, he can't move or speak. Consequently, his chest gets tight and his blood pressure sky rockets. He does take medication for high blood pressure which usually stays controlled. He does have a very strong family history of heart disease. Therefore, we went to his cardiologist who doesn't believe it's cardiovascular but believes whatever it is, causes his chest to get tight and pressure to elevate...i.e. panic attack when this happens. His cardiologist has tried for years to get him to have a sleep study done but he has not.
However, he did place him on an event monitor, did echo, did ekg and a carotid artery workup....all were ok.
He's referred us to a neurologist.....in between his visit and before our appt with the neurologist, he had one of these episodes that lasted longer than the others......he was able to knock the remote in the floor to get my attention. I called 911. His blood pressure was 220/123. We went to the ED and they did a CT scan plus blood work and said he didnt have a stroke nor a heart attack and also referred us to the neurologist.
We went last week and he feels that my husband does suffer from sleep apnea and that he is so tired that when he has these spells that he is already in rem sleep? and that he goes to move and can't because his brain has told his body that he's asleep.
He did order EEG, MRA/MRI to rule out possible TIA's and/or seizures just to be safe however, he doesn't feel it's stroke related.

Now he's very scared as the neurologist described sleep apnea as a very serious condition and especially to someone with his medical history.

Does this sound correct? Does a person who has sleep apnea gradually get worse? I do believe he has sleep apnea. I've paid attention to his snoring/breathing for years and I do believe he suffers from it.

However, the episodes that recently happened are very scary and I don't know what else to do.

My wife went through this surgery a couple of years ago and discovered yesterday (by an x-ray technician) that there are still two staples inside her body where the gall bladder used to be.

Im presently having another root canal. My dentist does the old fashion way yet...which is fine by me but requires several visits instead of one. Every time he widens the root a bit more and then inserts some medicine for a couple days. Any ideas what type of medicine is put in there? From what he says he does it till he cannot detect any more infection or bad tissue in the tooth, so I take whatever is put in there before I leave is killing infection?

I quit smoking on new years day (this year). Its been almost two weeks. i have never contemplated suicide in my life, but this week i have felt rage and anger (two emotions i am not used to as i am a very passive and peaceful person) and have had extreme suicidal tendencies. the last few mornings i've woken up wanting to kill myself and once i arrive at work i feel like killing all of my coworkers. has anyone expirenced this before? i almost feel like its worth smoking cigarettes than dealing with this madness. i feel like i am going insane. i would rather die of cancer in 20-30 years than kill myself because of this feeling!

I have been having headaches/migraines all my life. I am frankly tired of them!!! I know it could be a chemical in food or an actually type of food that causes the haedache. I just want them to leave me alone. Now that I have a child I can no longer lay down when my head starts to hammer. I just need some help.

Won't a tampon get soaked with water and not absorb anything anymore? Then you would bleed in the water.

My three day solution: 2 shots of wheat grass followed by heaps of wheat grass pills and several gallons of water. Call me a criminal and a heathen, but I beat the test and earned the job. Scholarly activity and the occasional bong hit are not mutually exclusive.

Hi there,

I had a root canal done on Monday. Had one before, so I wasn't worried. My tooth is very infected. I was scheduled for an hour appointment. When my hour was up, he sealed my tooth, even when there was much more to be drained. Is this normal?

I woke up in the middle of the night in agony, I have taken T3's and Advil to help w/ the pain. Also I swelled up like a chipmunk, which he said might happen. Saw him again on Wednesday because of the swelling, he put me on antibiotics.

I am not schedule for my next root canal until Febuary, but I am concerned because I am going to be flying in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for reading.

When someone says something at the spur of the moment when all is going good,like something from 2 yrs ago that is still bothering him. I have gotten the shakes from being so scared he will explode at the drop of a dime and sometimes he says things and he will turn around and say he never say it and make you seem like you made it up.IT IS NOT MEMORY LOSS.He will say mean ,viscious things and off the wall things and I am stunned with mis beleive and I get so freaked out i have nothing to say back cause it's so mind boggling? He accuses me of things I don't do and tries to make me give him an answer. Even if I try to give him an answer it's not the truth. I am so confused, 3 years of this and I want someone to tell me what this is? Bi Polar?Extreme Jealousy? Insecure? What I am really looking for is a Medical name for this Illness.

Bladder Infection?
I had protected sex about 5 days ago, on Sunday. The following day, Monday, I started having to pee a lot more than usual. I don't really pee very much at all, but now I've been going every few hours and my stomach has had an upset feeling to it. I know you go to the bathroom a lot more when you have a bladder infection, but isn't it supposed to hurt? And there's no way you could be experiencing pregnancy symptoms or something like that this soon, correct?
