Health - 21 March 2007

I had a root canal about 3 years ago on a molar and the dentist never placed a crown on it. My original enamel was left around it. Well last week that enamel totally crushed when I was eating and broke. Now I just have little blackened enamel around the root canal pin in my gum and it is causing a ton of pain. It almost feels like the enamel broke off in my gum.

Has anyone else ever had this happen? My tooth is aching badly and tomorrow I have an appointment to go in to the dentist. I am scared about losing this tooth :(

If you're taking Rozerem, the newest prescription sleep aid, or if you've taken it before, I'd love to know what you do or don't like about it. :)

I've been thinking of asking my doctor for it, as it apparently has zero capacity to become "addictive". It also sounds like the most "natural" drug in how it works. FYI: I don't need sleep help all the time. I only need help when I have to go to bed abnormally early on a particular night, due to having to rise abnormally early the next morning.

My normal "sleep onset" is somewhat late, but that's OK usually, since my work schedule is flexible and my commute is short. HOWEVER, if I need to be up super-early to catch a plane, leave for a roadtrip, etc., I'd ideally like to go to bed extra early the night before. But, no luck!! :( I've tried chamomile, Benadryl, melatonin, meditation, warm baths -- I just can't fall asleep at a time my body &/or brain perceives as "way too early".

THAT'S when I hope a pill like Rozerem can help! :)

Every single morning I wake up with severe neck pain and soreness. It radiates all the way from the base of my skull to my shoulders and on both sides. I have trouble turning my head to the left, right, up and down. I also have pain in the left side of my jaw every morning. My jaw sometimes clicks when I open it. I take up to 10 Ibuprofen to be able to function normally. What is this? How can I solve the problem?

Is it true that when you have your period, you can't have anything done with your hair? When I was youger and would want to get my hair straightened(with the chemicals), my mom would tell not to go during my period because the product will not work...
(the same thing with waxing).
It is something my grandma told my mom and my mom told me...I just don't see the logic behind it...

In my highschool anatomy class today we tested our own urine and mine was all normal but i had lots of ketones. We learned that this can be caused by starvation, stress, and diabetes. So if ketones are caused by the burning of fats wrather than sugar for energy (im simplifying these terms) then wouldnt that mean that I am losing weight?? I do NOT have diabetes..im not really fat...and im not really overly stressed or anything...so wouldnt someone want ketones in their urine for the sake of losing weight if they know that they don't have other problems? I have been excersizing and watching what i eat lately.

why does a human go by the initial feelings-good ,instead of the bad that comes with an addiction,like how it is ruining their health life.
its like it has a power over you,and it is the feelings they are addicted to isnt it?

I have had the most horrible cough and there is this little snorting sound when I breath in and breath out. This has ended, but I have a feeling that it may come back soon. I have been sitting near the humitifier and all... but should I maybe call the doctor if this gets any worse? Has this happened to you?

I know for sure I have a sprained wrist. Yesterday I fell on it, and I got it SLAMMED hard in my locker. My parents are positive that I don't have to go to the doctor. Yesterday, when I slammed it, I went to the Trainer at my school, and he said that if the swelling and sharp pains did not go away, I should go to the emergency room. I have little swelling but I dafinately have a sharp pain in my wrist. What should I do?

I got on Yaz to try and regulate my periods with hopes it would get rid of my migraines. In the meantime (after 17 yrs.) we found out why I have the migraines. I have been bleeding ever since starting the Yaz and I feel moody, crampy and not myself. I am almost finished with the first pack (about 4 more pink pills). Can I just stop taking them and let my body get back to normal?
