I am going in for surgery soon and I am curious what it is like getting an IV inserted. I have never had any problems getting shots, but having the needle stay inside your arm or hand kinda grosses me out.

What is the difference between 100mg of Caffeine Alkaloid and
100mg of Caffeine anhydrous USP?
Is one better then the other? (There is a price difference.)
They both claim that each pill has the caffeine equivalent of one cup of coffee.
And what does “USP” mean?

As I was putting a heavy bag under the stairs next to my freezer I held it over thinking there was something underneath, there wasn't and my arm banged onto the edge of the freezer and I heard a crack I managed to put a bandage on only I was told not to, so shall I take it off? It's sore and there is a blue bruise in a line where I caught it, have put witch hazel on it.

I mean... it seems to me... that We as a global-society say that we WANT to cure disease, but the fact is that doctors and hospitals and drug companies and health insurance companies, woud loose money if we were to suddenly cure everything....

Don't you think it kind of seems like they want us to get better but not alllll the way better. It's almost like they just want to cure the symptoms with a pill (an expensive pill) and have us go about our lives needing them... paying them...etc.

I've been taking 275mg of phenytoin for 22 years now. Since I started taking lamotragine alongside it, my seizures have reduced dramatically and the neurologist wants to get me off the phenytoin altogether. I'll be reducing it by 25mg each week. What side affects am I likely to notice - am I likely to feel more anxious, jittery or short-tempered for a while?

I feel like I have an OCD, I am obsessed with turning lights and plugs off all the time, I go round like four times to check everything is off and unplugged and I don't know why I do it. I'm not saying that it is as bad as some peopes OCD's but I get the feeling I have one. Does it sound like I do?

Hey, my friend got stitches , but is complaining that their hand (where the stitch is) is being pulled to the left side.

See, they have a cut on the side of their wrist/palm and they said that when they try to move it their wrist gets pulled the opposite direction. Is that normal?

on the inside of the lids of some jars of soup that she bought at the health food store. She's in a panic because she has been eating this kind of soup for several months now and is convinced she has mold growing inside of her. I figure if the stuff was dangerous she would have died by now or at least be very sick. She points out that she has been sick. But, I observe, no sicker than usual. She has enjoyed poor health for many years. So is she in serious danger? And if so, what should she do about it?
