Health - 6 March 2007

I overdosed on some painkillers, some were over the counter some were prescription, and I'm feeling kinda... I don't know the word for it. Like shakey and dizzy and just weird... It feels good though. I've done this before with just Tylenol. I took like 4-5 of them and got a similar feeling. So am I getting high?

I'm 14 about to be 15 in a month and I have never used drugs before or OD'd on anything except that one time with Tylenol... Is this the feeling of being high? Is it possible to get high off painkillers? I took 3 Tylenol, 1 Bayer, 2 prescription drugs of one kind, and 1 or 2 (Can't remember.) prescrition drugs of another kind... And I think I took 1 more pill but I can't remember if I did or not and what it was if I did.

And I have another question: Are there any websites I can go to for help? I really want help because the after effects are like a punch in the face. Thanks.

I have the flu, I mean I REALLY have the flu. What are some quick tips to getting better if you are deathly afraid of needles (shots) and doctors? Oh yeah the reason I'm afraid is that when I was 5 this new (expirenced) nurse drove a needle almost right through my arm! And the second time she tried she wiggled it around in my arm. I'm now deathly afraid of doctors and needles now. Help me with some things to get well without going to the doctor.
(P.S I've looked up on Flufacts.com and that doesn't do me any good.)

I have been doing some reading on head lice. When items have been placed in garbage bags and then sealed air tight then frozen, can lice come back to life after they been frozen and /or do they hibernate and come back to life? I just would like to know this. I have looked at so many links and sites and have not come across that of what I asked. Thanks fo much for your answers and input.

First, I have very tight legs and always have. I have two children and am heavier then I would want to be. I have not gained any weight in over a year and did not exercise during the last year other then normal running of the house and kids.... I will go sledding and slightly active at times. Did not gain weight or lose weight over the last year. Well, three weeks ago I joined a gym. I have been exercising through cardio (about 30-60 minutes 4-5 times a week buring about 420 calories in cardio) Then I do strength training every other day so about 2-3 days a week. I also use a 4 lb medicine ball every time I exercise doing ab exercises. I have gained 10 lbs in the last three weeks... remember I have not gained or lost any weight in the last year.... I ate freely during that time and had a few glasses of wine each week. I have quit the wine and have watched what I have been eating on top of the exercise... yet I have gained so much weight. What's up??? What should I do? Thanks

I had a spinal tap to diaganose viral meningitous 9 days ago. The proceedure it's self was not that painful. The Dr. heavily medicated me just before the procedure knowing I was absoluletly terrified do to a "horrific epidural experience" during childbirth. I had the expected headache, but was on high does of pain killers anyway for the meningitous. Now that I have recovered from my severe neck pain and headache, I am left with a very sore low back and ackey legs. I am walking at a snails pace. My Dr told me not to take any asprin or motrin for inflamation due to the higher risk of Reye Syndrome that could develope after a bad viral infection when taking those types of medications. This is all across my very low back, like a wide stip going from hip to hip. Has anyone else
experienced low back pain after a spinal tap? How long does this last?

I feel everytime I work out, like I've gained 4-5 lbs..and its really discouraging. I feel fine the next morning but I dunno... I workout every day at a local gym, and I'm really trying hard to shed pounds..but I haven't weighed myself yet so I'm not quite sure how I'm doing. Could I be feeling this way after working out because I'm retaining so much water? I do drink about a bottle of water during/afterwards...any ideas?

I have always had backaches, as long as I can remember. They used to tell me it was growing pains. That was 10 years ago and I still have this problem, and it seems its getting worse. Its the upper back, mostly, right by the shoulder blades. I have a phsical job and get excercise, and am very careful that it is not caused by that...I have been home sick for days now and it hurts worse than usual.
Any ideas or other experiences with this sort of thing? Thanks

Now I know that anal sex is not the way to get pregnant, but I also realize that there might be some leakage involved.
Now, if anal sex had ocurred, with some potential leakage to the vagina, and two days later the woman bled out of her vagina for a short period of time, though not her full period, what does this mean? Was the period interrupted due to pregnancy or is there no chance for pregnancy or what?

I was diagnosed with the flu yesterday- I had my shot, so it must be a different strain- but now I think I have an ear infection as well, as I can actually feel fluid moving behind the eardum, and its very painful; also my chest began to hurt very badly tonight, I havent been coughing too much I don't think, but could the chest pain be from that??

Basically, I am hoping for an impartial opinion, and wondering if I need to go back to the Doc, or just stick it out with the rest of the flu symptoms?

My legs and thighs are REALLY thin. This bothers me for a few reasons: I can't find any pants or jeans that fit me well, they look a bit awkard and too thin, and I also just want them to be stronger and more in shape. What are some excersises that will make them more muscular? Will more muscle make them bigger?

my exboyfriend of 2 years was very depressed for over a year of our relationship.he began taking antidepressants & within weeks his personality did a complete 180. he broke up with me impulsively, then the next day acted as if we were still together,& within days he asked me back out,then just days later, he dumped me again. just days after that he went around telling any1 & every1 that he was "going 2 get laid" over the weekend (even though he and i never had sex)& he went through 4 girls in just 4 weeks of being single.people see his behavior&believe that he is bipolar and that his antidepressants triggered his depression into mania. however recently, he hasn't looked as jumpy as he first did after the break up, and he's sort of settled down but still goes out of his way to get my attention (blocks me on IM for no reason, cuts me off in the parking lot) i'm just wondering, if antidepressants trigger people 2 go manic, how long usually until they switch back to the depressed state?
