Health - 16 January 2007

Last May (in 2006), I fell down the stairs and got a very bad bruise on my hip. It had some moderate swelling, and it didn't look very pretty, but the pain was bearable, and it was just in that isolated area. After a few weeks, the discoloration caused by the bruise went away, but the swelling, though it had gone down some, stayed. Now, in January, it is still slightly swollen in that spot, and sometimes I feel a mild pain there if I turn wrong in bed or something. Nothing has gotten worse or anything, so I don't see a need to have it checked out by a doctor, but I still want to know why this might have happened. Is it probably just trapped fluid or something?

A week ago I had my new glasses done, suffered terrible headache for a week not knowing why. I decided to have other opticians to look at my new glasses, following my gutt feeling something was wrong. I was told that lenses were drilled crooked and overall job was horrendous. They could not want to understand how someone would let me actually to walked out off the store with glasses looking like that. I would like to know how negligence the optician who's done them was, puting my eyesite and my overall health in jeopardy?

I have had hives for months and wonder if my allergist is doing everything possible to find it's cause, even though I know that I may never know the cause. I have had blood tests done and now have stopped eating certain foods to see if it makes a difference. When should I get a second opinion? Is it possible that he is missing something? I have been suffering for several months!! It's costing me time and money and I still have no answers. So I ask, when is a good time to see someone else? Whaddya think?

I just got over a case of strep throat that started Thursday. My doc. put me on Zithromax antibiotics and it went away by Monday. That is precisely when my sinuses began to act up. I have a ton of pressure and drainage. I've sneezed a few times which feels great. No headache. What is something over the counter I can take to relieve the pressure? I want to sleep tonight!

I have recently discovered, in my thinking, that hot tea is consumed with meals or after. American diets, ususally, a nice ice cold soda is consumed. Is there any substance to this thought? It makes sense that it would aid in digestion letting foods flow rather than shocking the system with cold while eating hot, it just doesn't make sense, any more, to do this at meal time. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks~Lynn H. ~N.Y.

Sorry if this offends anyone... its just that when I need to go to the toilet it usually comes out really fast and I'm done in not much more time than just having a wee. My boyfiend on the otherhand spends an age in there and he says its cos it literally takes that long to get it all the way out, not cos he's just sitting there for the fun of it. He says his muscles just don't seem to push, instead it feels like it's being sucked back up, hmmm lovely! Does he have a constipation problem??? Why does it vary so much from person to person?

WIll they approve it or will they tell me that I have to keep up with the diet and excersise instead? I really can't though...I've been overweight for about 13 yrs and i think i am just desperate.

He's 5 years old. This is his first blood test. So not sure how he'll react.

Can he sit on my lap ? - so i can comfort him & try to hold him still.

What's the best way to keep him still.

He's gonna hate it - & scream the place down.
