hi. i have my first orthodontist apppointment this Friday. I have been doing my fair share of research on everything about braces ever since i heard i had to get them such as what to expect, what spacers are, etc. i came across a tool called a "water pik". i am wondering what exactly this does and what is the cost of this? is is worth it? also, if you can include all personal experience from braces, that would be very appreciated. best answer gets 10 points!!

Thanks in advance :-)

My son just recently went to the Dr's and is now being refferred to a neurologist at Shand's hospital (FL). He had an EEG done & there was no abnormalities, but I really believe something is wrong. Can a child have petit mal seizures that do not show up on an EEG? I have been researching them & it sounds like that's what's going on. He will be sitting there playing with his toys (or eating, etc) & all of a sudden he wil start rolling his head side to side & his eyes go back in his head(like he can't focus), but he doesn't lose conscieness. After he is done (about 10-30 seconds) he will resume doing whatever it was that he was doing as if nothing had happened. He often loses balance & falls & hits his head or arms and in result he's always got bruises. The Dr said that they cannot see anything wrong with him & I dunno, maybe I'm just looking too hard into it. They said it could possibly be something he does for attention or out of habit. But nothing I can see triggers it. Help!Any ideas

Hi, Any medical staff out there that can help please. Around 5 or 6 weeks ago I noticed my middle finger on my right hand was starting to swell slightly so I removed the ring my mum bought me as i didnt want to end up cutting it off.

About two weeks ago I noticed that my finger had swollen more causing it to bend out of shape, it started to bend into its natural claw position and in the past 5 days or so it has worsened and tonight it has really swollen my whole hand feels as if its swelling, the finger is being twisted towards my thumb.

Since the past 2 weeks I have also suffered pain and it has got worse, pain is radiating all over hand, then up to wrist and now it feels as if its travelled up to my elbow. I visited my doctors but the doctor who saw me was Romanian and to be honest I felt that she was unsure, she gave me a course of antibiotics, but when i was at hospital receiving treatment for a problem i have, i was given anti-inflamitary tabs, still gettin worse. help

And I mean....everyone gains weight in places that others don't, like I have seen women who gain weight in the upperbody and not in the lower body.

I gain weight in the lower body, and I never gain weight in my upper body...and it bugs the hell out of me. And no Im not overweight....I was just curious.

I am currently 16 years old, 5 foot 1, and 160.5 lbs. Even though my BMI is overweight I don't particularly LOOK overweight, but i still am desperate to loose weight! I need to get healthier and loose weight semi-quick. I don't want any advice about how all you have to do is quit eating and exercise.. I need more specifics. And please, please don't say how unhealthy it is because i know!

Im in great health, did some light workout on the machines at the gym, then walking down the stairs my left ear felt like it was clogged all of a sudden, I got light headed and almost fell over. After a minute I felt fine, but I never felt like that before. Is that a sign of something worse coming up or what is it?

like they do in books, or will you faint from the pain?
And besides any cosmetic imperfections, would you still be able to breathe properly?
Thanks

Hi. I have had physiotherapy on my knees about 3 years ago but still get occassional achiness. I think it had something to do with a muscle/ligament being pulled out of alignment (I really cant rememeber properly!) I have out on some weight recently and I think this is accentuated the problem. I have started to loose the weight again, but what I would like to know if there is a natural suppliment I can take to help untill I have lost some more weight. My doctor always tells me to take Ibroprofen but I dont wanna keep doing that. Can someone reccommend an alternantive?? Does cod liver oil really work??!!!!!!

I have acid reflux, and I am currently taking Prilosec OTC.
It doesn't seem to help, as I am getting alot of liquid in my mouth (even after I take the medicine).

So, what is the BEST medicine or way to help my acid reflux?
