I have had it since last summer, I thought at first it was a mosquito bite, but it had never disappeared. It is more like a patch of thick skin, white in colour and very very itchy. It's only small, maybe just a bit bigger than a bite. I have tried everthing to get rid of it, now and then the top layer peels off, but it just thickens up again. Could it be some sort of insect bite? It has never bled, but it never got tanned either in the summer.

It's 6 a.m. and I have to be leaving my house for school no later than 8. It it worth going to sleep and possibly being late? I feel like I may be more tired if I DO sleep for an hour and a half. Should I just have some coffee and tough it out? I'm supposed to meet a girl afterwards...I hope I'm not too stunted : /

I have this vertical white line going down the back of my throat. It doesn't hurt or anything.

What could this be? Should I have a doctor look at it?

I have had my period for more than 60 days now. There are times throughout the day that it slows to a minimal bleeding but by the end of the day it always starts right back up. I went to planned parenthood and was refered to an OBGYN but while I was there I was made fun of by the nurses and told I was not normal and had to be lying because if I was bleeding for 60 days I would be dead. I just want to know what is wrong and hopefully see that I am not alone and though it is rare for this to happen I am not the only one. Someone please tell me I am not alone in this situation and there is light at the end of this horrible tunnel.

Lately i have been hearing voices and having visions. All night i hear people in my room telling me what to do ie. burn stuff, kill people, kill myself, eat all the food in the house and they warn me of dangers to. I also see small black imp like figures running around my house but only out the corner of my eye. The devil also appeared to me once sitting in a tree. He threw apples at me and told me to eat but they were all rotten and crawling with worms. Is this normal? Up till now ive just though either this happens to every one or that its just smoke and noices in the pipes that do it coz i eat alot of cheese and have a vivid imagination. what do u think?

Recently, since about a month ago, I've been having chest pains that last about 2-3 seconds and then go away. I get these pains nearly every 2-3 days or so. At first I thought you get them now and then but I keep getting them every couple of days. They're really short but pretty sharp pains in my chest. Is there anything to worry about? Btw , I'm 18 years old and I don't drink OR smoke.

I discovered that partner of 6 monthd had been a compulsive liar and had also told different things to different people. When they 'supposedly' fell in love with me the problems got worse and it was as though they tried to push me away. I know they have terrible issue with their Mum as my partner is the only one in the family that she seems to treat badly and seems to like upsetting them. They are now having therepy, how long should this take before we can know that we can try again and things will be different this time?

I need to have one of my wisdom teeth out , the upper right one, right beside the cheek bone. It has grown in such a way it is pressing on the bone and is so far behind it you cant see it. My dentist says he can do it there in the surgery for about three hundred euro, but I will be sedated and awake. The other option is going private which will be alot more expensive but i will be completly unconsious. I would much prefer this option regardless of the exprense although I am thinking of going up to the North (I live in the Republic of Ireland) because Ive heard it is much cheaper.
Has anyone had an upper wisdom tooth out whilst AWAKE? What would you recommend, go ahead with it awake or be knocked out?

Friday night I slipped down a step and landed awkwardly on my left foot. After a trip to A&E I was told I had possibly broken my 4th metatarsal bone and would need to go back for a review in two days time. Anyway I went back had another x-ray and have been told its not broken but I have damaged the ligaments that go along my foot. I was given a crutch and told it will hurt for two weeks and be better after two months and that was it! What I want to know is.. how can I speed up recovery? How long will I need the crutch for? What excercises can I do and when? and most importantly when can I attempt to drive again!
