I have a great deal of pain in the thumb (basal) joint in my right hand, also, there is a prominent bulge in the area. Obviously, arthritis is the culprit. Does anyone have similar experiences and recommendations for relief of this problem?

The guys in the 1991 Gulf War found this out when they drank only Diet Coke instead of Iraqi water.
Good go, did some of these boys get sick!
They were PRESERVING their intestines!
I love the concept of Splenda, and even use it sometimes.
I don't know what they're gonna find out about that, but it beats formaldehyde.

Someone you care about friend/family member is abusing pain killers and you have already confronted her and the whole family has had an intervention.
Two years later though all appearances point to a cleaning up of her act you know for certain she is getting pain killers from 3 different doctors, pharmacies and once a month at the ER, and everyone is saying "mind your own business" and you are not sure why you need to tell or get her in trouble.
But should you anyway. This woman is 50 years old and hurting no one but herself and not about to change

I was diagnosed with this horrendus sinus infection. They gave me a 10-day supply of Avelox 400mg. I started to feel better 4 days into taking the meds and kept getting better. All of a sudden I got symptoms again when I woke up this morning (day 10). My throat is burning and hurts from stuff draining down in , I keep sneezing and theirs lots of mucus (clear but alot). Did the Avelox work? Did I catch something new (several or my co-workers are sick too).

I'm talking about the body craving nicotine. I heard it was 2 weeks, and after that it's a habit and association problem. I gave up for 6 months once but was lured back because all the interesting people were found hanging out round the back having a puff. Non-smokers are so boring. The only reason I'm contemplating it now is because as a smoker I really suffer when I'm out socially and not allowed to smoke. Going outside in the cold is not the same at all, and I just feel like going home. With the ban looming I'll having to either stay at home or give up and I'm not the kind of smoker who can just have one occasionally. For me it's part and parcel of relaxing with a drink. I don't know if other smokers feel this way, but as a reason for giving up I've never heard it mentioned in any of stop smoking campaigns. I'd like to know what kind of agony I'm in for - nicotine replacement is not the answer for me, I've got to kick the nicotine habit cold turkey.

Just curious. Anyone got any strange stories to relate? I'm applying to med school and I'm not drawn to this field even though I like kids, because it would probably be awkward.

i tried softlens but it was horrible i had to keep on using refresh tears to help it keep supple. im on a tropical humid climate near the sea(Mozambique) and occasionally i venture to drier climates. does any one know a brand that will be good in these types of climate?---price is no object. i would also prefer dailies because cleaning the lenses everyday is such a hassle.
