Health - 24 February 2007

I got whacked round the back of the head in June and have had migraines practically every day since. It got so bad at times that I ended up passing out in the street so I pleaded with my doctor and evetually got codeine for it, which really helps but I never feel 100% ok.

I read on a health website that if the PCS continues for more than 6 months then you will probably suffer from it for life. I'm so worried now. Anyone else had it for over 6 months? Did it go away? I'd ask my doc but quite frankly he's shite.

I had my braces taken off about a year ago, all my teeth are adult teeth. I've always had really healthy strong teeth and I've never had any cavities... well, a couple of days ago I noticed that my tooth was loose and I'm kind of freaked out... will it tighten back up on it's own????

I know what you will say, no physical addiction, etc etc, BUT I just now got my appetitie back and for the first time in my life I have had the worst insomnia that WILL NOT go away.

I am not belly aching, Im glad I quit and have no intention of going back, so Im not looking for excuses. But I am angrier, more aggressive and depressed lately (than usual :P)

Anyone experience this, and if so, am I almost out of the woods? been flushing, lots of juice, water, foot is injured but I want to run again, to sweat out the toxins. Imagine that? Just kidding

First I read that keeping your heart rate between 60 and 70 percent is the best fat burning zone, then I read that High Intensity is better for fat burning because you burn more calories, then i read you need to do HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) which is a mixture of low intensity and high intensity for like 15 minutes. Which is the best way? Should I just do Low Intensity one day, high the next, then HIIT the next day?

Hi

I have already asked similar questions but i am quite worried.

I have been taking 5mg of diazepam a day now for a back problem.

I know that one of the uses of this drug is to relieve anxiety but recently I seem to be more anxious than I have ever been, sometimes about the craziest of things. I recently lost my dog in a tragic accident and since then my anxiety levels are much worse. I have read that you should not take diazepam after a bereavement.

Can long term use even at a low level cause any chemical imbalances in the brain.

over the past week the top right side of my jaw has become tender when bruching. very very tender. so tonight i looked at it and it seems dark red. i also found my old softer brush and it still hurt to brush but not quite as bad. i then tried to see if it hurt differantly in a certin direction. when i brushed to the front of my mouth there was little to no pain, but when i brushed twords the back it hurt a lot more.

so could i have gingervitus or did i tear some or or what?

i went to the dentist about 2 weeks ago.

My boyfriend and I had sex on one of the last few days of my period right before I started taking my birth control again. We were unprotected and I'm a very paranoid person about pregnancy so I'm not sure if it is just me or if I truly am pregnant. I have been very moody lately, extremely tired and my breast have been sore. Am I paranoid or pregnant?

I've had it for a long time now.. i went to the doctor and they gave me antibiotics, i felt better while i was on them but that didn't fully cure me.

Whenever I am in the cold it worsens, it's hard to breathe and such, because of all the phlegm i have in my chest.

I eat halls cough drops and they help a lot but I'm tired of depending on them and anxiety worsens my problem by a lot.

the phlegm is clear, in the morning it's yellowish and when i get up in the morning i blow my nose and there are strands of blood.. and my nose is usually stuffy also.

Thanks for help, in advanced.

Hi, I'm trying to work out what t-shirt, (blouse, top) size I will be after my op. I'm a size 10-12 waist but at the minute wear 14-16 tops because of my 34GG's (Yeah, I know!!!!). My surgeon hopes to get me down to a 34C-ish so I wanted to get a couple of nice comfy tops for afterwards, Anyone out there who is a 34C? What top size do you wear?

Thanks in advance xxxx
