I can take off my left eye's contact lens in a second, but the right eye one just doesn't come off no matter how I pinch it, is there any trick to take it off? Cause I've tried for one hour or so...Urgent!! Plus, the right eye was red before I put the contacts on today...no it's evening and I wanna take it off...so are there any tricks on how to take that stubborn contact lens out? (e.g put more water/contact lens solution/use clean but drier fingers) [I've tried all before]

i used a thin mask of bentonite clay around my nose area, which has quite a few blackheads, for about 10 or 15 minutes yesterday. after use, the area was quite red and sensitive. on waking this morning, i saw that i now have several spots there for the first time in months! is this a good thing connected to the blackheads being drawn out, or does it mean that bentonite clay does not work well on my skin? any ideas will be much appreciated. thanks.

Lately, alll i've been able to think about is being killed. I'm so scared of it! its gotten to the point that im constantly turning around to see if anyone's behind me. i even do that if im alone in my room. I know it's not logical,i cant help it. i hate it. a couple years ago, a family member of mine was killed really violently. i thought i was passed it but maybe i'm not. i can't get real help because then i'd have to tell my mom but i dont want to do that because it would hurt her too much (it was her mom that was killed). is it okay to be so scared all the time? i know it's not normal. should i get help or do you think it'll go away?

Woman calls and stirs everyone up with "YOU ALL HAVE TO GO TO SEE JON STRAIGHT AWAY HES BEEN RUSHED TO HOSPITAL WITH KIDNEY STONES HE COULD BE DIABETIC HE COULD HAVE HAD A HEART ATTACK!". Yes, it was kidney stones, what's with the rest of the panic?? Jon is her ex-husband and has been for about 20 years.

Same woman says her teenage son has motor neurone disease. I said he doesn't, it's a terminal degenerative disease. Ten years on, it seems I was right.

Same woman exposes her grandchildren to known allergens, some of which are potentially life-threatening. On these occasions she seems to be trying to create drama to draw attention to herself.

Apart from this she seems pretty normal... not likeable, but I guess she's normal!

I just had a lap. Nissen fundop. on January 5th. I've been eating solid foods for awhile now. However, I do notice that I cannot seem to stay regular. I have diarrhea after I eat something (usually a few hours) Is this a common problem after this type of surgery? How long does it take before I become regular again?

Thanks for your help!

One of my kids is allergic to brewers' yeast (we found this out through testing for various allergies). In Australia, this is a small tragedy, as Vegemite is made from brewers' yeast!

Does anyone know if this is an allergy he will grow out of? Will he be able to have a beer when he grows up?

There has been a lot of publicity on the number of children that have died this winter from the flu virus. The news is advocating of having your child innoculated again the flu virus (flu shot). However, I don't feel this is enough. I have gotten the flu after I've had the flu shot before. What do you think?

I received this information from a news letter that I get from one of my Primary Doctors anyone considering this please read this info about this vaccination.#Questions about Gardasil#This story was provided to us by a patient who knows this individual. The names have been changed, but the story remains the same.#Dear Friends,#I have had one hell of a day yesterday.#You might have heard of the new drug called Gardasil that was released last June. It is a vaccine that prevents cervical cancer. Most gyno's are having children 12 to 28 vaccinated with the vaccine as a preventive measure. Read all the side effects and talked it over with the doctor. He convinced her it was something she should do. It's done in three stages.#Today she went to the gyno for a check up and her first vaccine. An hour later we were in the emergency room. I got a call from the doctors office (fortunately I was home) and they said, an ambulance was on its way to take her to JFK Hospital. She survived.
