I'm congested, I have a cough and everytime I cough, my head hurts and my stomach hurts and does illness effect your period? Because my period is a few days late.

My great-grandmother was admitted to the hospital Mon. morning. We have just recently discovered that she has congestive heart failure. 2 1/2 years ago her cariologist informed us that her valve was closing and could close at any time, there would be no way of knowing. She is 96 years old. My family is all located in Michigan, I live in Georgia, it is a 13 hr. drive. I want to be there to say goodbye. My family is concerned with the unexpected cost of me coming up there and missing work, etc. and are trying not to worry me. The doctor offered to send my great-grandmother home with a diuretic, but she keeps falling and my grandparents cannot lift her. After learning this the doctor said well than let's keep her here and take it one day at a time. They're doing an ultrasound today to see how serious the condition is. They do know she has fluid in her lungs and registered 6000 when it's normally 0-850. Should I rush to MI or wait here in GA? How much time does she have aprox.?

I understand the whole "fight or flight" response but getting the chills while listening to music has nothing to do with that. What makes a person get chills at certain moments during a song?

I need the blood test to find out if I can get the new Shingles (H. Zoster) vaccine, because I don't know if I ever had chickenpox and I could get a severe reaction from the vaccine if I never had the chickenpox. I need the vaccine because I am blind in one eye and the shingles could make me blind in the other.

Whenever I try to wear a tampon it hurts too much so I stop. Im relaxed and everything but it just hurts. Is it because the hymen is there? Im just recently not a virgin anymore, will this make it easier to wear tampons since my hymen is broke?

I've heard you can get addicted to going to the chiropractor. If your chiropractor constantly adjusts your back (say twice a month) into alignment does it in a sense loosen your back up to the point where now your back is always going out of alignment with physical activity that might not have misaligned it otherwise. I got whiplash about 2 years ago (car accident)and want to stop going to my chiropractor but the neck pain seems to return in a few months when I stop going.

I've had the implant fitted and it made my periods go all over the place to start with, however, it now seems like 2 months since I had one-is this normal? Considering I was bleeding every two weeks its just a bit strange that they've suddenly stopped!

We're trying to compare the pro's and con's of tampons with sanitary napkins. To wear a sanitary napkin, it would take one less than thirty seconds, depending on the wings and adhesive features of one's napkins.

How long does it usually take for one to get the tampon inside? (Not wear around. A friend who is taking up nursing as a pre-med for ob-g said one shouldn't wear it any longer than four hours.)
Minutes?
Seconds, too, only?

Cheers!

I'm affraid I'm causing damage to myself and would like to find something that could help or even prevent migraines!

Happens randomly. Episodes can occur multiple times in one day or one episode in several mths. It starts off and ends the same way each time. Doesn't matter what position I may be in, but if standing I have to sit or I'll "fall out". It has what I call phases 1, 2, and 3. Phase 1 is a feeling of being oveheated. Phase 2 is nausea and dizziness. Phase 3 is weakness and a feeling of pure exhaustion. Now.. Once phase 1 hits.. a few minutes passes and phase 2 starts. Now, Phase 1 and 2 are going on at the same time. A few minutes pass and phase 3 begins, but phase 2 is starting to disappear. Now phase 1 and 3 are going on. While 3 is getting started phase 1 goes away leaving me with phase 3 which lasts the longest.. up to 3 hrs at times.

After phases 1 and 2 are completely gone, but during phase 3... I am left feeling totally exhausted. It takes every ounce of strength to turn my head. ONce phase 3 passes... I am fine just like before the episode occurred... Can NE 1 help !!!!!!!
