Hi, This morning I was in lots of pain (I have a slipped disc) and had run out of Tramadol, so took 2 Solpodol tablets with my anti-inflammatory pill. Ive neevr taken Solpodol before, but have taken co-proximal and co-codemal.

Almost straight away I had a severe stomach ache, and my hands began to burn and itch. Then my feet. It spread to my torso, legs and face within a few minutes, I felt as if Id fallen into a load of stinging nettles, it was very hot and itchy. Then I had trouble breathing, found it hard to swallow, and was sick.

I felt really unwell, it scared me a lot. Tonight I still dont feel right, kind of drained and weak, my skin is tender but not red and swollen any longer, and Im exhausted.

Was this because of the Solpodol? Could it have been the Diclofenic? (Im assuming it WAS a reaction to the tablets, I cant think what else it could be?) Has anyone else had this with these tablets?

I can still move it. It is still warm but it feels just as if it is 'defrosting' from the winter cold weather. I haven't knowingly injured it. Can anyone help please?

I'm am 5' 6". My father is 5' 11", and my mother is 5' 4". A lot of people in my family are shorter, but my uncle was 19 and over 6' 6" when he died (he was 19, and still growing) I have already had a growth spurt, and I fear that I may have stopped growing. I feel short, now... Any suggestions?

When I was a kid there were only wire-like braces available. But now I hear there are "invisible braces". Are invisible braces common nowadays or just something for the uppermiddle class?

I've noticed a lot of girls will wait until they're about to have an accident before they go. Why do they do that?

My daughter's lung collapsed at birth and after three weeks was released from the NICU with no medications or machines. She was sounding very congested and her Dr. finally referred her to an ENT. That Dr. found that her adnoids were growing down into her throat which caused apnea. She is too young for surgery but her apnea monitor sounds often. A sleep study has confirmed that her saturation (blood oxygen) dropped below 70 % at times and put her on oxygen at home when she sleeps which is quite the challenge. Since then she has also been diagnosed with PDA and ASD Heart diseases; Anemia (even with iron suppliments); high platelet count; pulmonary hypertension. I'm at my witts end! I feel that I'm seeing all these different doctors and no one is putting the information together. They are all puzzled at how healthy she looks to have all of these things wrong. Is anyone in a simular situation or could shed some light on what could be going on? She is so precious. God bless!

I made a post the other day about my partner asking his doctor to do fertility test but was declined as she did not see why it should be done when there was no evidence to say why he wanted it. He was just concerened about his age as he is 41 and ten years older than me. Well he got a phone call yesterday from the doctor to say that she was wrong and he is entitled to have the test done if he wishes! So, any one in England who wants to have the test done but is refused, get a second opinion. We will find out if we canl be parents or not on Tuesday. I'm well excited.

I was away for a camp, I usually don't go to camps but that one enlightens you so much so I went there for a week. Basically, their food was ugh... (I can't accept American food anyway). So, I didn't eat too well.. I suppose... and I lost 8 pounds!
Might this be a disease? I'm secretly a health freak, and we all had to eat in campus, so nothing could have gone better...
PS: I hate American college campuses! All they have is like fatty food and salty food- they serve you a sandwich that's got like 200% of the daily maximum amount of sodium! Why can't they be like in Japan... where they have curry rice, roll cabbage, croquette, etc etc YUMMY! Anyway, sorry for the rant... just can't forgive it..

If you use the super plus absorbancy most of the time, does anyone know what is considered the normal number of tampons to use? I was wondering if my period would be considered heavier than average or just average. Last time, I used 40 tampons. I soaked 18 on my heaviest day.

what just happened was, i had a bowel movement. the poo came out fine, but after that was out i saw a large stream of bright red blood in the toilet. the toilet paper was also covered in blood, but i checked a few minutes afterwards and there was none there.

last week i started working out again after a long time of sedentary living. i also changd my diet from usual crap to good foods, and just yesterday was my girlfriends birthday, we splurged and had some pizza and fast food- today i was a fool and ate a turkey/bacon sandiwch at Denny's.

Oh, and the working out that i am doing is kickboxing and sambo wrestling, iv done this before but only recently got back into it. i am 21 years old and overweight by about 20 pounds. i was thinking that the blood was from my lifestyle change and possibly the horrible food i ate the past two days, as well as quite a bit of candy.

i have no health insurance and cant afford going to a dcotor just yet.

Autoclaves are those heating/steam machines they use in hospitals to clean utensils. I've only seen them myself, but I don't know how long they usually take to thouroughly disinfect the utensils. Does anyone know?
