It was not cut. Did not feel a sting or bite. It has been swelling since last night. I cannot rest. It hurts.
Main concern- feverish and green pus.

Any suggestions.

i was wonder how long ago it became unacceptable or illegal to smoke in hospital waiting rooms. i'm looking for first- or second-hand accounts here, i.e. "my grandma told me she saw people smoking in a hospital waiting room in hartford, cn in 1953" so no speculation please, unless it's impeccably sourced. thanks!

In the absence of evidence, I can usually divine a reason which is decidedly negative. In the last few weeks:

1)
I started a new job. I thought things were going well. We even going out to lunch together in my first week. Later, I noticed they were going without asking me. Of course, I will say nothing, because the anxiety will only get worse.

2)
On Friday, I called about an apartment. I talked to the husband. I thought it well talking about the apartment in general, he asked for my # and said his wife would call me back. I didn't hear anything, so I called back Monday. The machine answered, I left a message. Nobody ever called me back. Why would they reject me before I got started?

There may be innocent reasons for what I describe, but it sure looks like rejection to me. Anxiety is the gift that keeps on giving.

I have a big bump that all of a sudden just appeared on my foot. Could it be a bunion? I thought it took awhile for bunions to grow, such as weeks or months. Will it go down on its own? Once you get one, do you have it until you have surgery? Any information would be great. Thanks Doug

I have tried weight watchers, read books, etc. I really want to lose weight, but I'm not into these plans where you have to eat this or not eat this. I'm looking for a plan that promotes healthy eating. Period. I know that I need to eat healthy and just enough to feel satisfied, but I have a problem with eating and snacking all day and eating too much at meals. I just need a sense of community. Some friends to talk with and get motivated with. I guess an online place for weight loss that is more focused on the mental struggles of weight loss rather than counting calories and tracking how far I walked today.

Do you know of such a site???

was offered a job at a restuarant close to my house and I plan on quitting my draftsman job when school starts... but they make me wear high heel shoes which hurt my feet so much.. After one hour my feet really begin to hurt and I have to stand like that for ten hours a day... Does his persistant pain mean that I'm burning calories? Is this more effective than jogging or running?

my dermatalogist told me not to pop my pimples. so i didn't do it to one of my pimples but still did to the others. the pimple i didn't pop eventually grew and was an embarrasing huge brown spot that jutted out from the top left side of my face for about 2-3 months, then it became strangely poppable so i popped it like usual. so should i or should i not pop pimples? and if i shouldn't, then what was the reason that happened to me?

I have been sexually active for over 5 years, but, if I have sex for over 10 minutes or my bf goes to hard or deep, I get swollen to the point where I can no longer have sex for up to 2 days! I use plenty of lubricant, so that's not the problem. Is it possible I am abnormally small down there or what?!?!?

I have been on birth control for the past seven years-my periods have always been on time-down to the second. I had a boob job a month ago so my doc told me to come off of birth control to prevent blood clots and surgery complications. So, my period ended the day before I was scheduled for surgery and I finished my last pack of pills the day before surgery also. My period was supposed to start a week ago, but it has not. I took a HPT and it was negative. I was wondering if this was normal...I mean, my body went through a lot due to the surgery and I heard it's common to miss some periods after coming off the pill. I had unprotected sex twice with my boyfriend after I had my surgery, but he did not finish in me. I just wanna know what's going on....I couldn't be pregnant, could I? I'm just a little worried...maybe it's a combo of both the stress of surgery and coming off of birth control after being on it for so long that cotributed to my missed period. I just don't want a baby!

I never used to shake until I started taking Lexapro. My legs would shake uncontrollably, & also, when I'm lying down, my whole body shakes & I always feel the need to rock back & forth or sway side to side. I'm off of Lexapro now, & I'm still shaking. I can't control it. I already was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome. Do you think this leg-shaking has to do with my TS? I remember certain medications triggered off certain tics for me. I remember when my eyes used to blink uncontrollably & I used to stutter. When I got off that medication, I wasn't doing that anymore, but I had other tics.

***Is there any way I can stop this uncontrollabe shaking? People think I'm doing it on purpose for attention & they get annoyed.
