I have been very ill, it may be food poisoning, but I'm not sure. I have googled it, but I can't find an explanation. My symptoms don't exactly match up with anything. I really don't mean to disgust anyone, but I am in so much pain right now and at the moment it is 3 in the morning. The last time that this happened to me, I threw up around 17 times within five hours and became very dehydrated. But every time I would try to drink water, even the tinniest sip, it would come right back up. Symptoms include severe stomach pains, vomiting, rapid heart beat, dry mouth, shaking/muscle spasms, diarrhea, nausea, hot/cold flashes. I'm so tired and I feel drained, but every time I lie down or sit, I feel terrible and I have to run to the restroom. This has happened to me a couple of times and I just can't take it anymore. It always begins late at night and continues on into the next day.
Has anyone ever had problems similar to this? And if so what was wrong with you?

I have this bump on the right labia majora. It showed up about 2 weeks ago. It isn't red or pink or anything, its just the same color as my skin. Almost looks like a mosquito bite. It has never been painful or itchy and it has never oozed out any secretions. I tried popping it and it wouldnt pop, I finally squeezed out a little tiny bit of pus, but it wont pop since then. So I dont think its a pimple. I thought maybe a bug bite, but its still here 2 weeks later. I do shave, but it is not the same thing as an ingrown hair. I went to the doctor, she said from my description of no pain, etc, it doesnt sound like herpes, but I am sexually active& when she looked at it, she said the circular shape concerened her. She told me not to freak out until the results come back, but she went on explaining what i would need to do if it was herpes. I wont get the results for a few days and Im freaking out. I dont know what to do. Could it be a cyst, swollen hair follicle or is it most likely herpes?

I got a splinter under my nail today. The tip broke off, and I do not know how to get it out. You can see it through my nail, a dark wood sliver, about a quarter of a cm long. Is there any way to get it out?

About every 10 minutes I am feeling some strange pain that lasts about 1 second on the left side of my body, a little bit above the hip. Is something bad happening? I'm going to visit the doctor later on this week to see what's wrong but if anyone knows please answer.

I always go to bed with my laptop, my cell phone, and iPod in my bed. One of my friends told me this was bad to sleep with so many electronics near me. Is this bad? If so, explain please.

There's a health carnival at my office. I took this opportunity to check my health and discovered that my bones aren't like the others. The graph shows my bones at negative no. which more likely are the bones for 60 year old person. The health spokeperson says that I should quit drinking tea, coffee & cola.. What's wrong with me actually? I'm still young to have bones problem.

It has only been 2 days, I know... but I don't feel jittery or anything, just this headache. I have started with 1-40mg pill, then the next is 2 pills. Should I still wait to see if I feel the effects or what? I hope I didn't get a placebo pill!

I am a young person very interested in health and nutrition. It bothers me that this nation relies so heavily on pharmaceuticals instead of taking care of themselves before "disease" occurs.
I lost my mother to systemic lupus after her 13 year battle with it. Near the end I tried to get her to start consuming large amounts of fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants, perhaps even to go vegan, but the willpower wasn't there for her.
My girlfriend's uncle has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and been estimated 2 years to live. I believe his life could be saved with some sort of nutritional therapy, but I'm not sure what exactly to do, any ideas?

In the past, I've been diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder, but those diagnoses turned out to be alcoholism in disguise. I've been unmedicated and doing well under medical supervision since I got sober a few years ago. Lately, I've been feeling weird, though. I don't think it's depression because I'm not sleeping too much, and I have hope for the future. However, I don't seem to take much pleasure in things, and I'm totally lazy. I'm not really manic like the alcohol/drug induced episodes I had years ago, but my head is in the clouds. I feel really directionless. I'm just waiting to see what happens next in my life and feel sort of detached from everything. My psychiatrist is not of any help. He tells me things like "my mood is depressed," but I'm not actually depressed. I feel like I'm at this big turning point in my life, but I don't know what actions to take or even what it is I'm supposed to be deciding. Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do?

I need to have a root canal on one of my molars, but it is very expensive. Even with insurance my portion of the bill, including the actual procedure and the crown, is almost $600. Also, I don't want to take time off of work to recuperate. I've heard this procedure is painful and it can take a few days for the pain to subside. I'm in college and if their is a cheaper and less time consuming alternative, I'd rather go for that one. Since the tooth is in the back of my mouth, it will be hard for people to notice, but I don't know if this is a viable option.

I've already asked this question but I haven't gotten any straight answers. Does the pink part of the nail grow back again, and if so, are there any kinds of limitations to this growth (I mean does it grow again after long-term nail-biting, nail-loss is quite a different thing). And also, besides those bad tasting polishes, how do I stop biting my nails? any tips?

I was discussing this with a friend and he said anal sex was not riskier than vaginal and was natural. I said if it was natural then why doesn't the anus produce a lubricant like the vagina? Any one know?
