I have a mild case of Eczema just below my shoulder ever since I have gotten bitten by a mosquito two years ago. It seemed to go away after I treated it Hydracortizone.

But this summer it has come back and the itching its so bothersome that I lose some sleep at night. I have started treating myself with the cortizone again but I was wondering if anyone knows of any type of relief that I can use without seeing a doctor (no insurance).

It isn't severe, just to the point of bothersome and tired of itching and rubbing swollen skin Thanks!!

I'm sick and tired of poisoning myself with fluoride, but am worried that a water filter doesn't filter it out. I would hate to have to buy bottled water from now on.

eat less exercise more :-[ Ive done everything and the weight BARELY budges. I've only lost 3 pounds in a month of moderately intense exercise and diet. I ran more then 3 miles/6 days a week and ate 900-1500 calories a day. Since that didn't work I added more calories. Still, nothing. Then I cut back on exercise (that's what Im doing now).

Please tell me why it's not working. From now on I will only walk one mile a day and eat 1000 calories (of healthy foods). Hmph only 7 pounds away from where I need to be =/

I want to stop smoking. I hate smoking. Why do something you hate? What can I do? This is a powerful drug that i never thought I would get addicted to when I first started 5 yrs ago.

Is there a reason medically that makes someone, not tired, but sleepy all day long? I can sleep 14-15 hours a day or more if allowed. This isn't normal. My husband is getting concerned.

My live in is in the hospital with 5 badly broken ribs and a bruised Lung. They had him on oxygen at a level 6. Late last night his oxygen level fell to 50%. and they had trouble trying to keep him awake. His heartbeat was soaring also. They took him to UIC.
I can't seem to get a straight answer from the nurses as to "why" he dropped as he did.
What is the danger he faced at only breahing at 50%? Although they have now got his oxygen level back, is there any long term effect? He was acting a tad strange today, and I'm not sure if it was my imagination. Sorry spellcheck isn't working, and I'm to tired to think!!

I know that kids can get it from wet diapers, but is it from moisture or is it something in urine and stuff that irritates skin. I don't have kids so, I'm a bit clueless.

im 14 and got my period 2 days ago so im on day 3. My period is very heavy, and i fill a regular pad in less than an hour to an hour. and yesterday and the day before filled a super plus tampon in 50 minutes to an hour. This doesnt seem normal to me. My period has never been heavy like this. my mom said im still regulating. But i dont feel like it is. is this normal?

OK...here goes...
My prom is on the 6th of July and I'm really worried I might be on (periods). The thing is though...last month it was the 26th and this month it was 17th which is very irregular. I really don't want to be on for the 6th. Past months though I have been bang on date so I don't know what's going on! I can't seem to stop worrying about it... If it comes during prom I would die! Thanks everyone in advance! :)
