Health - 23 August 2007

I have holes in my tonsils, some are quite large and some appear blister like (even though they're not blisters). I find it hard to swallow sometimes, but I don't have any throat pain at the moment.

I've read a lot about this and many people seem to get 'tonsil stones'. I don't (and have never) experienced that.

Why do I have holes in my tonsils? Will this warrant having them removed?

I've been looking around for a good shaver for my husband and right now it is between the Braun 360 Dry electric shaver and the Panasonic ES8077S Wet/Dry electric shaver. My husband hates using razors and I'm just tired of him pricking me with his face. I want to get a good one so which is the best..Dry or Wet/Dry????

I was walking my German Shepherd a few days ago when he made a sudden movement. It jerked the leash and I felt a sudden sharp burning pain in my wrist. Most of the pain went away after a few minutes, but now I have noticed alot of pain in my thumb at the joint where you bend your thumb at. Its a dull constant pain, not horrible but certainly noticable.

I don't think a doctor could do much for this type of injury, I can still bend & use the thumb so maybe it's not broken? I didn't want to spend the $ to see a doctor if there's nothing they can do about it, I know some injuries just have to heal on their own.

Any advice from you RN's out there? :)

What does this mean exactly? Will he get worse and then die or does it depend? We are more of acquaintences so I don't feel comfortable asking him about this.

It is really starting to piss me off; people say they would kill for my body, and they give me dirty looks when I say I want to lose weight. I am 5'4" and 118 pounds (I usually weigh about 112 but I gained some weight this month due to overeating because of stress) I even felt fat at 112. I don't know what to do, it's as if I will never be happy with my body no matter what!! I want to weigh like 105, I think I would be happy with that. I feel like no one really understands me; I truly feel fat and no one will listen to me and they all think I am just fishing for compliments when I really just honestly think I am fat. What am I supposed to do about that? My eating habits are totally unhealthy; I either starve myself or binge every day, there is no healthy medium. What should I do? I don't want to talk to a counselor. Help!

My medical doctor is not very concerned about this but my naturopathic doctor is concerned. She immediately suggested I use unrefined sea salt but, as I told her, I've been using unrefined sea salt FOR YEARS. I regularly take magnesium, calcium and potassium, too, because otherwise I suffer from major muscle spasms. I drink, at minimum, 8 of the 8 oz glasses of water per day. Sometimes 12 or 14. Anyone have any ideas?
