I have this Pain just above my right ear that covers an area about the size of my fist. The only way i could describe this pain is hot, but not horribly so. In all truth it doesnt really bother me, pain wise, but it more bothers me with the question of what it is. We all have heard those stories of people that had something really bad, like say a tumor, and never had it diagnosed untill the advanced stages. Now granted when i first got this pain 2 years ago i told my doctor and i went in for an MRI and X-rays of my back and neck and the only thing they found was a little bit of "liguid" in the area of the pain, my doctor said it was nothing to worry about, but now that it is back again, im slightly worried. Even if it turns out to be un-needed fear i would still like to have some opinions from other people, and maybe something to look into.

For many years I have suffered from clinical depression and anxiety. I'm 21 and no ssri's have ever worked they just make me feel on edge and peciuliar. I wish to understand the science of it all. Can someone with normal seritonin levels suffer with clinical depression? Attemps to increase these levels don't work for me and I find that being in a certain state of mind that even cures my tourettes and giving me exelent verbal fluency is the same feeling I get during sleep sometimes. Its rare but highly eurphoric my whole body feels relaxed and this feeling of warmth. If I wake up early I can feel like that until I start shaking and feeling sick due to lack of sleep, or sometimes when I'm stoned or if I'm in love or infatuated with someones looks. Is my brain releasing a different chemical?

Or can you get it another way and give it to someone by having sex with them? I guess what I'm trying to find out is: should you get the vaccination if you know you will only have sex with someone who doesn't have it?

I have been to an ent and just got forwarded to an allergist. I havent gone there yet, but it started about 5 years ago (I am now 30). It is like water. It drips like a faucet all day. The only thing that stops it is when I take a steroid nasal spray that stops it up. First thing in the morning...it is back to the water hose. I just dont understand where it all comes from. It gets completely embarrassing when I have to blow my nose ever 20 seconds and then I have a raw nose...HELP!

I was bench pressing today, but after I finished my sets, my chest did not feel "tired" or "sore" at all. However, when I'm actually doing the bench press, my chest really feels it, but immediatly following my conclusion, it isn't really sore. Does this happen with peoplke? How come I don't feel sore afterwards?

I asked the question about pot. I can tell who is really suffering and who works in a pain clinic. I am almost 40 years old. I was born with arthritis and diagnosed when I was 7. Every joint in my body is deformed. My tibias are rotated. My arms are rotated. I have had over 46 surgeries due to arthritis. The last one I almost died. I'm damn tired of taking pills and I hate the taste of pot-but it helps better than anything I've tried in 40 years. I have Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, adult rheumatoid arth(they are very different) spinal stenosis, TMJ, osteoporosis, soft tissue disease, tendonitis, bursitis, rheumatoid nodules that cause me much pain, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, everywhere anything connects or doesn't is where I hurt. the only thing that doesn't hurt is my damn nose. My skulll hurts because I have bumps like knots in your back only they are all over my head and they hurt. I can hardly walk and have been in and out of my electric wheelchair for years at a time. But hey
