Health - 27 May 2007

i went to the hospital this morning, after having seen my doctor on wednesday. The hospital did tests on me and advised me that i came out positive with mono. Is there anything i can do so help my body recover? I have medicated mouth gargle which nums my throat for approx 10-15mins. I'm having a really hard time swallowing my own saliva, its so painful, the only thing that i can eat is soup, I'm just looking for advise or things that have worked for yourselfs or others in the past.

thanks
everyone in advance,

I had my wisdom teeth removed Friday morning. My left cheek is massively swollen. It hurts like crazy. I'm not sure but when I look back in my mouth it looks like he may have stitched my cheek to my gum. When will the stitches dissolve and how long until my face goes back to normal? Is there anything I can do to make it go down faster? Am I just being paranoid?

My husband has type 2 diabetic and I was wondering what types of restaurants can he go to and he can eat without raising his sugar level up and the rest of the family will not feel guilty because can can't have that type of food. I already told him since he can't eat pizza than I won't. He gets mad at me when I tell him that he says he can eat salad but I feel guilty If I eat pizza in front of him

It feels like all the time there's someone else sharing my mind with me. I get billions of ideas in my head, like I've put out 4 patients in the last 2 weeks on different inventions. It feels like someone is talking to me in my head wanting more and more. I do drink to distract my mind and I play video games to distract it as well. It started when I was younger but its gotten stronger like from 10 to 90 to now at 60 to 40 percent control. Does anyone know what I'm talkin about?

I've been working out with my dad lately, and it seems to be helping a little. But first off, if I'm a 14 year old boy, 170 lbs, and 5' 10"-5' 7" am I even that over weight? I just want to feel comfortable taking off my shirt at the pool or when I get hot.
Thanks,
