Health - 25 January 2007

I am 17 years old and for the past year i have a constant feeling of a lump of mucus in the back of my throat. My throat doesn't hurt and i do not have a runny nose. But i constantly try and clear my throat and it does not go away. I went to the doctor and they looked down my nose and only recommended a saline spray.

Does anyone have any home remedies or tips and when did you start having this problem as it more common for older folks.

thanks

I have really bad migrains and was on a medication that my doctor perscribed for me, just recently I was switched to antother one. The side effects of this medicine mimic the same symptoms for pregnancy. Im not sexually active to i dont think im prego, but my last period was early and very light and this one is 4 days late. Cas stress and meds cause you to miss your period but yet oyu have all the signs of one. My moods swings were on time, my sore breast was on time, i even feel a wetness in my underwear that feels like my period has started but when I check there is nothing not even discharge. I did have an abnormal pap smear in the past. Should I be worried??/

Is it true that if you pop a blister, and then coat it with Krazy Glue, it can act as a second layer of skin even though officially Krazy Glue recommends avoiding all contact with skin?

i got the idea from the website with "how to be a perfect human"

it all started 5 months ago with my aunt dying, i started picking fights with my friends and family. I only like hanging out with 2 of my friends. I have been really depressed and I don't know what to do. I easily cry and can't seem to get any rest. I make everything seem worse then what it really is. A month ago my boyfriend broke up with me and it got worse. Could I have bipolar disorder?

I have these brownish marks on my skin from where a scab was previously. I was too impatient to wait for the scab to fall off by itself so I kind of picked it off too early.. Now a mark remains. Does anyone know what I can do to make it go away?

My cousin Paige has a swimming pool and I have been over there. She often invites me when she has get togethers. Every once in a while some of the guests go topless and few guys (we are all in our 20's) have gotten nude. I actually went nude for the first time last week in front of her and some of her female friends. Is this ok? The reason I ask is sometimes I get embarrased when I get a 3.5 inch erection in front of Paige and the gals. What does Paige think? Sometimes its fun just to skinny dip.

I have a problem with my ears and it really bugs me. It is called "Tinnitus" and it is a ringing in your ear that never ever ends. If i am in my room with no noise trying to fall asleep I hear it and it really bugs. I have a noise machine that has like a waterfall, rain, crickets, etc. I would like to know if there is any kind of herb out there that will take away this ringing or at least lower it. It gets really annoying because it doesn't go away. So if anybody out there is going through the same thing as me or knows about something that I can do, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I was at my family doctor the other day because I currenlty have the stomach flu and while I was in there I went ahead and asked her about this large bump that popped up on the back of my neck about a year ago. She felt it and said that it could possibly be a cyst and that I should see a Ear Nose and Throat doctor about it. I also have another one that i'm very concerned about on my right arm. Does anybody know how I can tell whether or not it is a cyst and what type of doctor I should see? I had a surgery on my neck about 18 years ago as a young child because of a cyst in my neck which my parents were told by doctors that it was too long to remove entirely so they snipped it. Is it possible that it has returned? Thanks!
