ive been sick since wed. night. Yesterday I tried a bunch of home remedies to cure my upset stomach but I think it made it worse. I have only vomited twice but am still in a lot of pain. I've restored to eating dry toasted whole wheat bread and 7 up and water and green tea. Is there anything else I can eat or drink to make me feel better? I have to work tomorrow from 9-4 and i've been there for only 5 months and dont want to call in sick if I can help it.

I'm writing a story and in one scene, my character meets with someone who is hooked up to different medical apparatus to monitor his health and keep him alive. What are some machines that would do this? Can you be specific with thier names and have a brief description of what they are and what they do?

If it helps, the character had a heart attack about three years ago and is the main reason why he is confined to that state. He is not in a coma or paraplegic or anything, but he is old and is in a weakened state. I am basing this part of my story on my own experience with my late grandfather, but I am ignorant of medical technical things. Any help would be great, thanks.

and had to go to school, with only one hour of sleep, what can i do, to wake me up a bit more, so i don't feel as tired, other than energy drinks, cofee, or any other beverage, or eating a big breakfast. so in other words, no food/drinks.

I had laser eye surgery about 10 years ago. All has been great but lately my one ye seems to be getting weaker and it is starting to get worse.

Three questions:

1. Does anyone know whether it is safe to have laser eye surgery twice?

3.Should I should go to an optomotrist before a laser eye clinic.

2. Can anyway recommend a laser clinic in London and a good optomotrist?

Cheers in advance.

My mother is taking me. I am 17 and I'm pretty sure that I have it. The thing is, I wanna know if they're gonna stick something 'up there'/in there. I have never had sex, never had anything in me before so I'm pretty scared. How do they find out if you have it or not?

I'm obese. I've always been chubby since young. I used to love myself despite the fact that i'm extra large. But lately, the society are so judgemental, they seem to have hatred towards obese people? Its as if i'm a different species and deserve different treatment. Why?? Now, I have very low self esteem. I'm uncomfortable around people because i'm always cautious of my looks. I've lost self confidence and its depressing. Why cant people accept me the way i am?

I ROLLED MY ANKLE TODAY AT SCHOOL AND ITS SORE AND I NEED IT TOMORROW ,THERES SO SWELLING BUT I CANT WALK WITHOUT ANY PAIN

2007-03-22 22:22:19 · 5 answers · asked by Anonymous in Injuries

I sprained both my ankles 3 months ago. I was running and don't know how it happened but I didnt feel any pain, they just became swollen after a few hours. I went to the doctor, he said it's a slight sprain and told me that it would recover in about 2 weeks. After 3 weeks, it has not recovered, I went back to the doctor, he thought I had arthritis but the blood test came back negative so I'm fine. He gave me MC for a month to so that I would be excused for physical exercise in school. But it's been 3 months since and my ankles are still swollen! They look fine when I wake up in the morning but become swollen after a while even when I didn't walk around at all. It gets more swollen when I remove the compression guards to take a bath and the under-side of my feet would ache. I've rested and been a couch potato all this time but my ankles don't seem to heal! I've tried everything from ice packs and all kinds of cream to light exercise but nothing seems to working! Can someone help me?

I asked a question a while ago about a growth on my neck which i got quite a few answers for and have found out that it is a skin tag. So thank you for my answers.

The problem now is that this skin tag has become really itchy and has changed from being skin colour to dark brown. Any ideas to what might have happened? im not wanting to go to my doctor if it is nothing to worry about.

Thanks!
