I did go hiking in some thick woods the other day, I had a couple of ticks I had to remove but this is NOT lyme or rocky mt for sure. About 24 to 48 hours later (Maybe unrelated) I noticed I had some bug bites. Just 4 or 5 bites but now another dozen or so bites have shown up in the last 24 hours or so. I have triple checked my room/bed I dont appear to have bed bugs and besides this happens during the day where as I have not seen any pests on me. The bites itch about like a mosquito or flea bite, maybe look a little more like a fireant bite. I dont notice when the "bite" happens, only later I notice I have an itchy bite. By tomorrow I am afraid I will have 2 or 3 dozen "bites". I am taking some antibiotics just in case and I have put military grade zinc ointment on some of the bites but it doesnt seem to do much. Could this be some kind of Skin mite? It seems like I can feel something crawling on me at times but I look and there is nothing, may just be in my head. Anyone??

My friend is 25 years of age and is suffering from severe depression. She has been in thereapy for 3 years with three different therapist and has also been on anti-depressants for 2 years and nothing seems to be helping. She was taking Zoloft, Paxal, and Laxapro but none of the medications worked no matter how high the doctors increased the dosage. She is extremely depressed about a number of things. She has low self-esteem because people always criticise her apperance and says that she's ugly which she is not in my opinion. She just looks like an average normal person. She hates the way her body looks and she's very depressed over the fact that she is lonely. She really wants a husband badly. She has never been in a relationship before at her age or have been out on a date before she cries and worries herself to death because she thinks that she will be alone forever. I am really worried I don't want my friend to committ suicide. I don't know what to do

I have tried to find some reading on bruised ribs and it's not widely available. I injurred myself working out but I'm not sure how. The pain I thought was in my back. It's intense, hurts to breathe, cough, sneeze, hiccup. It also hurts to sit in my car, make a right hand turn, or try to hold my stomach in. I found two areas on my rib cage on the very side, and on the front where it hurts a lot to touch. (Why was it hurting my back then?) No spot on the back.

I thought it was from doing back or abdominal exercises so I quit doing that, but doing a leg press machine (you're laying down and pushing up with your legs) I noticed if I wasn't careful my knees would crunch against my chest and that HURT. I'm wondering if that's how it happened.

If it continues to next week I will see a doctor but I wanted to know does this sound like a bruised rib? I cannot pinpoint it to a specific muscle so I don't know what else it might be.

Thanks

then I try it, and try it, and try it again, and again. I fail. I've seen others do it, and act like it was just another day. Just wondering if maybe some people have more addictive tendencies, than others? I've heard psychologists mention it. But then I've also seen some people who quit for years, pick it right back up again. I guess it's kindof like an alcoholic, you can't have one drink, or you'll pick up where you left off. All it takes is one cigarette. Trouble is, I get my habit down to that one cigarette. and can't seem to let go. I've had people who never smoked tell me "so just don't smoke". SURE. Why didn't I think of that---like about 25 years ago!! When you smoke, it's connected to everything you do. I'm in a wheelchair, from MS, so I'm kinda stuck indoors, using the computer, or watching tv. I'm kinda limited to the physical things I can do, or used to do. So I smoke more than if I were busy doing something. How do you get past the cravings?? I just need some ideas..

DEAD BOWEL and she was going to die no matter what they did, but now i'm finding out that you can live if they remove the DEAD BOWEL . may be not the best of life but you can live I was told she was going to die anyway so he made me make a choice to let her die 1 to 24 hrs or doing nothing or taking all her inside's out that will put her in more pain and she would have brain damage and would not ever come home again or come off the resperrater , that he had onley done one sugery like this befor and the person did'nt like the ending .and my mother will live for onley 3 week's anyway. To me it sound like the doctor did not want to do the surgery so he made me make a choice in 2 min between the to that both end'ed up in death for my mom. so hearing how bad the surgery would be on her it was no

I have noticed that if I do cardio excercise shortly after eating something, I usually get sharp pains in my stomach within a few minutes of beginning my workout. I was told that this is because I just ate. Does anyone know the physiological explanation of why i'm feeling these pains?
