I've had this nail fungus for years now and I don't know how to get rid of it. I started taking Lamisil tabs but they are so expensive ($350/month supply) and my insurance will no longer pay for it. I have heard of using vinegar, tea tree oil and hydrogen peroxide. Has anyone had any success with any of these remedies? Or other ones?

I really like sleeping on my right side...its very comfortable to me, but my ear will really start to hurt and get sore so i have to turn over to my left. Its not an infection because its the skin outside. Basically the part of your ear all around the canal.

I mostly notice it when I wake up and pain starts to go away when I massage my ear.

Any clues?

I'm always trying to eat healthier, and can't cook too much myself.

Are there any good ideas for unusual/different foods you like to make? Something relatively easy would be helpful. I'm willing to try new things!

Thanks.

I started at 224lbs 3 weeks ago, I am currently at 216. I am 5'5 and 26 years old.

According to all the calculators I burn about 3500-4000 cal a day. About 2000 cals from basal and 1500 - 2000 from exercise and daily activity. I take in about 1500 cals a day.

Am I burring fat or muscle? Is there a way to tell? I can lift a lot more not then I could when I started but I have no idea if that is an indicator. I have been feeling more energized as well. But after reading I am not sure if I am doing the right thing.

We have a skin barrier that stops water loss to the outside - otherwise we would dry out like prunes in the sun very quickly. The dead skin on top of the barrier does dry out if the weather is drying or if the skin is washed with a harsh cleanser. Moisturisers applied to skin replace the water lost from the surface. So why do you think that drinking water is good for skin - I assume you do as near everyone seems to believe this.

I want one to sort my body out, I used to be size 8, great bum! No flab, great legs!

and then I met my Ex partner, I ended up putting on about 4 stone, through getting the munchies and eating takeaways every night! I totally ruined my body, I have since lost 3 stone but the last bit will not shift!

Also its flabby and I get so stressed out because people say oh your not fat but I do have a lot of fat on my body!!

I need some help in getting my body back, I have tried Excercise, eating healthy and I have reached a point where I cant seem to get any further!

I have also tried the Universal Contour wraps and they dont fo much!!!

I'm wondering about how a person can tell the difference between the two. I've felt my nodes be swollen before (with colds, etc.), but I've got a really bad swelling under my jaw that I've never experienced before.

Right now, the back of my mouth, under my tongue, and my neck under the jawline are all swollen. Extemely painful swallowing.

All of this came about very quickly, about two days ago. Under the jaw has ballooned fairly quickly and is also painful. I'm wondering if there is a possibility it will get even bigger? How can you tell if it's a swollen node vs a neck abscess? It feels fluid-y, not rock hard or anything. The size is quite noticeable visually. Very large difference from two days ago. Sort of like a goiter, but from what I've read, it doesn't fit the goiter descript.

I don't have much money now for a doctor's visit (no insurance), so I guess I'm in search of just how severe this might be. And if it's a storm that can be weathered without expensive medical help.

Last night i did feel some pain, but mostly its been very itchy. I want to go to a doc, but I have no health insurance and my job wont give insurance till ive been there for about 6 months. Anyone know where people like me can go who have no health coverage go? I live in Aurora, il. Thanks

About 6 months ago I fell on the garage floor and was unconscious. After the surgery, I started having difficulty with short-term memory and have a problems with finding words when I speak. In addition, I am totally lethargic, highly fatigued, and sleep day and night most days. I also have mild apnea, but I do manage to make time to scarve up two plates of food and go to the bathroom. It is so frustrating and at times it makes me angry. I am not the same, energetic, animated, and fun person. Don't get me wrong, but I have wonderful neurologists and a supportive family, and two dogs who like me are getting to be chubby bunnies and all they want to do is cuddle with me. Although, my doctors say it takes time, I'm just wondering if anyone has the same experience.

I have a classic case of ADD. I'm doing well but my main concern is my need for high involvement/stimulating activity. I've done everything from acting to writing novels, and these experiences have been great. But what really gives me the satisfaction I need is erotic photography. So long as I go about it in a legitimate way, is it a good way to focus my attention? I am good at it -- some people say I'm great at it. So long as I don't hurt anyone or myself -- things that gambling, dangerous sports like mountain climbing and parachuting or testing my physical limits can do-- could this be a good outlet for me?
