Does anyone know of a natural supplement that will help with my moodiness - that is not necessarily from my menstrual cycle

My 77 year old husband went into to hospital (private) in June to have a Knee replacement. 6weeks 5days and 3 trips to the theatre later he came home. Yes he had contracted Golden Staph. He has lost 13kgs because he doesn't feel like eating. He is now on two very very strong antibotics which we have been told could be for 2-3 years, but as a side effect has a very nasty/itchy rash from neck to groin. We have tried Pine Tar, metho, oitments from our own doctor and from a Skin Specialist nothing takes the itch away for more than 2 hours. We have even tried his own urine. Anyone got any old fashion remedies? We will try anything within reason.

For the first time. But I wasn't thinking about my emotional pain (it's there, though) but I was staring at the side of my wrist and was overwhelmed with the urge to see blood there. I used a dull swiss army knife. But I didn't cut to feel something- I cut because I wanted to see the blood. What is wrong with me?

i saw brown blood - old blood - as they call it. which is a sign of the beginning of a period to me. i then had sex and then had a shower and saw clumps of dark red stuff along with bright red blood wash away. i hadnt had any pain which is what i normally get. i then proceeded to use tampons for the next two days, i wasnt getting cramps or losing alot of blood which is what is meant to happen. so i proceeded to use panty liners and now i am not losing any blood and havnt had my full period cycle or any type of cramping or lethargic feelings. this is quite strange. this has never ever happened before.could i be pregnant? could i be sick? any advice. really worried.

I have had some low back stiffness/tenderness for about a week. I've had this on and off for 4 or 5 years and frankly it really isn't concerning to me. However, it was pretty sore today, and tonight after reaching for something I ended up with SEVERE pain. It hurts to move and is nearly impossible to get up out of bed without help. I went to the urgent care clinic and got a shot of Toradol and a Valium. It barely put a dent in the pain. I was told to take Ibuprofen and Vicodin at home. I'm feeling little relief. It is tolorable when I am at rest but getting up is pure agony and causes several minutes of severe pain. Should I just deal with it and rest my back and see if things improve? Should I return to urgent care for further pain relief? Or should I see a family doctor today? I am generally distrustful of physicians and really I want more aggressive care then they are willing to offer. I need to return to work and need the best and quickest outcome for relief.

My parents told me not to go out today, but I ignored them and went out anyway. Long story short, I fell off a tall fence and basically belly flopped onto the cement. I managed to get home without my parents noticing that i was gone, but my ribs are hurting so fcking bad. I'm still trying to catch my breath. I don't want to get into trouble, but this injury could be serious. Please help me!

Ive tried it a few times over the last few years and never been successful. Ive tried the gum but it is AWFUL - feels like my throat is on fire, dont like the inhaler and i am allergic to the patch! To nicotine replacement is out the window for me. When i stopped before i got really irritable and it felt like my lungs were about to explode - so i started again! Any advice from anyone who has gone cold turkey?

Also someone told me a while ago that the cravings NEVER stop for your whole life. I cant feel like that forever! So that has kinda put me off! But i really wanna stop!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm going for my long awaited appointment at my gyno this Friday - my doctor thinks that I might have endometriosis due to my symptoms and the constant pelvic pain I've been experienced over the last 4 1/2 months. I feel sooooo anxious and nervous as I don't know what to expect and don't know what I'm going to find out.

Has anyone been through something like this recently (especially to find out whether they may or may not have endometriosis)? And if so, how did you handle your nerves?

Also, what could I expect when I'm at my appointment, would the gyno do an ultrasound, examination both externally and internally or would he only just talk to me about my symptoms and medical history?

I know I'm probably just silly, but I can't help it, I just feel anxious and nervous and I guess the waiting is killing me since I've waited weeks for this appointment and months for a diagnosis...

Its so hard to shave the groin area when using shavers, iv never tried using hair removers because i fear they could probably leave chemical residues which may affect fertility and health in general. Is that true?
