I don't want to hear how marijuana eases your pain, cause a case of beer on the weekend does the exact same thing. My buddy broke his arm and did not feel it till sunday morning. I want to know the values and medicine found in marijuana that makes it a healing drug. Alchohol also stops seizures in most cases.

I have always been a small person. The most I ever weighed was 112 lbs. Last summer I got sick and had to have two kidney stones removed, I vomited alot from the pain, it was unbearable. Also, I was under alot of stress and lost almost 20 lbs in a 2 month time frame. It took some time and I finally got my appetite back, however, I don't seem to be gaining that weight back. I think I gained about 5 lbs and its been 7 months. I am officially a size 0. Is this normal?? I weigh close to 100 lbs and i am 5'3. I do eat and I'm not sick anymore. Does it take time to gaint he weight back. I had to go out today an purchase new clothes because my pants hung off my waist.

My friend recently developed a very bad infection on her tongue after having it pierced a few weeks before. She keeps complaining to me about the pain and I told her I would do some research to help her out. While I surfed around the web I became interested in infections in general and would like to know more about them. If you could answer the following questions for me it would be very much appreciated:

1. Where is the most probably place on your body that a piercing could become infected?

2. Can you die from an infection on your ears or any other spot where piercings are most commonly found?

3. How would you treat an infected tongue piercing if you cannot apply antibiotics?

4. What are the first symptoms of infected piercings?

5. At what stage of an infection does a piercing begin to release fluids?

6. If the infection is minor but has the potential to become worse should you remove the stud or leave it in?

Thank you so much for answering these questions for
me!

He was studying 10th standard last year(2006). He had an attack of Typhoid in October 2006. He was not able to attend school for around 5 days. After attending school he found that he was way behind his friends in his studies. (He was in the top 5 ranks upto 9th standard). He had a fear of exams and he was afraid to attend Practical exams. Some how we persuaded him to fight it out, but he was not willing to accept the moral support. He was adamant and aggressive in his behaviour where we came to a conclusion that he must have the support of medicines. The medicines were started in Dec'2005 and it was continued till Jan'2007. So far no problem, but still he is not have interest in studies. Now on Feb 1st of 2007 he had a mild attack of Chicken pox. The doctor had recommended us to stop the medicines until he is cured from Chicken pox. So far he is fine without medicines, though he has little tantrums and the teenage behaviour's and aggression. Can we continue without medicines. Suggest

A few times a day I have weird 'blackouts'. My doctor says he thinks it might be visual migraines, but I know that it isn't. Visual migraines last for 10-30 minutes. What happens to me is, I can be walking around and I'm fine, but a few seconds later I feel really hot, like I have a fever. Then a short while later I see black spots until all I see is black. Then my right side tingles a little and it's really weird. It doesn't last long, only about a minute. But it happens a few times a day. What could this mean?

I just receintly went back to work after having a baby. As a result, I'm extremely exhausted. I'm so overly exhausted that I am so worked up about falling asleep that I actually keep myself awake. My baby wakes up several times during the night and then I have to get up at 5:30am to go to work. Everynight I make a point of going to bed early (8-9pm) with the hope of getting caught up on my sleep. I end up lying here until at least midnight unable to fall asleep. The longer I lay here the more upset I get, I end up crying and wanting to pull my hear out. It's like a visous circle. I can't function like this. I'm sooo overly tired and a terrible mom when I'm like this. I'm just desperate to fall asleep and I feel like I can't. Has anyone ever experienced this. How can I break the cycle? I never had any problems falling asleep before I started working again. It's totally psychological I'm sure. I'm seriously going to go insane if don't get a good night sleep. Any suggestions?

I have a very horrible, annoying habit of squinting and wrinkling my nose. I read up on facial tics and I understood them to be involuntary. I try not to do it, but I always end up doing it, and I look silly. Would this be considered involuntary? I just want to know how to stop it. It's embarrasing. Home remedies or herbal remedies have never worked for me. I am on medicine right now for bipolar and OCD, maybe this is the cause. Or, does anyone know of a solution?

I've been needing to get into shape, and tune up my body. I'm finally taking initiative and getting it done. I just don't know of any good exercises to perform at home. I don't have the money to get a gym membership. I'd prefer to just tone my body, not build bulky muscle. I have 2 10lb iron weights, and that's about it for equipment. Any know of any good exercises? :(
