say, for example, for someone who frequently eats salty potato chips or peanuts, will concern on the effects (on the liver) of the salt content be no longer necessary when lots of water are drunk along with eating?

I had a job interview today, but my shoes rubbed against my feet especially at the heel really bad, i was walking for much of the day in pain and taking my shoes/socks off i seem to have gone a shoe size down lol. anyways, they want me to go back on Friday(2 days time), how shall i stop my shoes rubbing? i was thinking of putting tissue in my socks but that'll prolly only last a few hours before the tissue will break, i was then thinking of wearing 2 pairs of socks, but i was told that can cause more rubbing.

I have had swollen tonsils, or some gland by my tonsil, for a year now. It feels hard and gets smaller and bigger sometimes. The doctor prescribed me penicillin but it did not help. She also said that I don’t have to get them removed since I did not have any serious complications so far. But they are still swollen and Im getting worried.

Should I tell the doctor that I want them removed no matter what she thinks?

Do you have a similar issue?


Please give me some advice,

I don't know if it's heart burn, acid reflux, or what; but I randomly get these (I think) gastric attacks where there's a pressure build up in my chest that last anywhere from 3-5 hours, and then leaves fairly abruptly.

It usually, but not always, only happens if I've eaten something after 7:00.

It's a steady dull pain that is slightly relieved if I sit up, so I can't lay down and sleep.

I can feel it start in the evening, and always gets full blown after I go to bed.

I tried Pepto, tums, rolaids, and even ibuprofin; none of which helped. Twice it has caused me to vomit, which also provided no relief.

The only thing that helps is Prilosec. When I'm on the 14 day treatment, it never happens; but once I stop, it will start again.

And it happens about twice a week on average.

Any ideas about what I can do? (can't go to the doctor, since I am without health insurance for another few months).
Is there an OTC medicine that works better than Prilosec?
Thanks :)

I've noticed that my scrotum is red in color and NOT baggy at all. I got tested for basic STDs approx. two years ago and only had sex one time after that - with a condom. I'm wondering what could cause the redness. It also itches at times.

Could the skin just be irritated from very long showers?

I honestly didn't notice until he put on a uniform that fit him FINE last november. Apparently, he's gained 25 pounds since then. If anything, we have been eating much healthier lately. Is weight gain that fast normal? Or should he go to the Dr. ? A friend of his suggested that it could be a thyroid problem.

Years ago I had gel nails put on for about a year. Then my finger tips starting itching terribly and the skin around my finger tips starting shedding off, so I had to stop getting the gel nails. Recently I started having acryllics applied. After 6 months, I"ve started to have the same reaction. I really want to keep getting my nails done. Does anyone have any idea what I can do? I thought of going to fiberglass, but I'd prefer to find a way to be able to continue to get acryllics.

I have been on birth control for the last 7 years. I have never had any side effects or problems. The last few months I have been extremely irregular when it comes to my periods. I have been either late, or early. My periods are last for two weeks. I figured that it was just stress, so I did not worry. However, I just got off of my last period a couple of weeks ago. Then I started my period again a week later! I am still on this new period! I was wondering if anyone else had ever expeirienced this? I have had stress, but really no more than normal. I am starting to feel like my only option is to buy stock in Playtex!! Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! I should probably add that other than the last few months, my periods have been extremely regular on the birth control.
