Health - 9 March 2007

I have had psoriasis for about 25 years but in the last year or so I have been getting infections through broken skin - this is happening almost every month so I am taking antibiotics nearly all the time. My GP has just put me on 2000mg of Floxapen daily. The infections make me feel ill, swimming head, very hot then very cold, giddy, not able to eat or drink very much. Is there an alternative way of dealing with this problem? Is psoriasis a 'breakdown' of the immune system? My glands swell up, my skin goes red, sometimes the skin on my face will just start to bleed slightly. Any ideas?

I just had all 4 of my Wisdom Teeth removed ( at the dentist....no oral surgeon ) It has been a few days....but my lower lip and chin are stll numb ( as are about 4 teeth ) Ive already been back to the dentist and know that it is nerve damage ( He has only seen one other case in 20 yrs practice ) My question is this....Has anybody else out there had this problem....and if so; how long did it take to resolve ? My dentist said his previous case took 2 months to regain feeling.

The doc says I'll be out of commision for 4-6 weeks . Is there anything I can take to speed up the healing process , I need to be up and about in 2-3 weeks max . I am resting and everything but I am not able to mis that much work . The broken rib is a result of a sever coughing fit from pnomia , I am almost over the nasty bug . Would Creatin or hgh speed up the healing process ?

for 6 days now i always got pain or discomfort in my neeck or my upper back. whenever i do scapular squeezes or rase my arm up to reach something there is a lot of pain in my right upper back. No the pain is not from sleeping wrong or having a wrong pillow i seriously think theres a problem and it is not from working out or anything it just hurts. whenever i do scapular squeezes theres a pin in my right upper back and i can turn my neck left perfectly but sometimes when i turn my head right it hurts a little bit and whenever i do scapula squeezes the pain comes back and gets worse.. what do you guys think this is?

There's this person at my work, I'm in high school, who's known for bad things. He's actually lit my hair on fire once as a joke, not for me. Yesterday at work, he said he would come over to my house, he knows where I live since we live close byish, and try and touch/lick my dog when I take her out for her walks.... It's wierd and all but I'm kind of worried.
