Health - 4 August 2007

I'm not talking about people making some random statement to themselves about how they 'must be crazy to think that...." or some other innocent joke they may tell themselves.
I'm talking about 'everyday' people quietly wondering to themselves if they have a problem. Surely mental illness has to be more prevelant than what is currently 'seen'. How can someone fess up if they might only have a mild or controllable illness? Do you wonder or are convinced that there's something wrong with you but don't seek advice or help becasue you have figured out a way to live with it?

About 24 hours ago my dad had a slight tooth ache and that was it really. About 6 hours ago it started getting worse.....he has taken nearly an overdose of pain releif and is still not better. It has now gone into his head and ear and every 5-10 minutes he screams out in pain for about 1 minute then it comes back 10 minutes later and so on....he is 40 years old.

Shall i take him to hospital....i was worried that the tooth could have gone into his brain or something....

I don't know why, but every night since one week ago this has been happening to me. Every night I woke up at least one time in the middle of the night ( sometimes 2am, sometimes 4am), at random times. Also, I have been having really weird dreams and horrible nightmares and I don't really know why. Why is this happening and how can I make it stop?

I forgot to take my pill last night. I usually take it at 7pm, but I didn't take it til 1pm today. I took it as soon as I remembered. I plan to take my pill at the normal time today.
My query is, now that I've taken my Friday pill, I have 7 pills left til the end of the pack. Should I take my break at the end, or will I need to start my new pack immediately after this one is finished?
I'm worried because I forgot to take one last month toward the end and had to start the new pack immediately and I don't want to have to do this again.

Severe immobilising cramp and numbness in left leg (from hip to ankle) always associated with constipation and/or trapped gas. GP's response is that the only known cause must be related to spinal /back problems - but online research suggests that infection of muscles surrounding the sciatic nerve can cause sciatic pain.

I have always worn pantyhose with my skirt suits for work each day at the office. Needless to say, with me dressing that way, my hubby developed a pretty intense curiousity about it. As I was getting ready for work one day, I asked him what the fascination was and he told me that he found it alluring and sensual when I wear pantyhose and that he was curious to experience that feeling. So I hiked up my skirt, eased out of my sheers, handed them to him, and told him to slip them on. I let him keep them on for a few minutes and he went absolutely crazy over the way they felt, which I thought was kind of neat.

Now hes asked a few more times recently for me to let him wear them again. I don't want to deny it to him because of how fascinated he is and how much he liked it that one time. I'm thinking if I can limit it to a few minutes around the time we go to bed, we could have fun with it. How should I handle this?
