Health - 24 August 2007

It started with a toothache. The dentist drilled and filled and put a temporary crown on my back lower two molar teeth. Two days later my second to last tooth became abcessed. I had a root canal on Tuesday. Since then I still have some swelling, and feels like my right side of my face is numb. Also, I still have an achy feeling there and there is like bubbles along the gum line still. I will tell you that the last molar (the one that I didn't get the root canal on) the crown fell off and the air hit it and it was like someone shocked me. the pain was so bad I cried (and let me tell you, I just had natural childbirth 6 weeks ago and I didn't cry on that). What does this sound like and is it normal? There's not much antibiotics I could take since I am breast feeding. But they gave me a z pack to clear up the infection before my root canal

Is drinking a 500ml bottle of coke everyday or every other day ok for your body? I don't care about gaining weight; I am extremely skinny.

My pediatrician put me on antibiotics for a foot infection. I was to take 3 doses daily for 10 days. Its been 10 days but I still have left over medicine, probably from a couple missed doses and such. Do I continue to take the medicine untill its gone or stop since it has been 10 days?

My grandpa desperately needs to have quadruple bypass surgery done. His platelets are low though so he cannot go under the knife for fear his blood won’t clot and heal correctly. Prednisone hasn’t succeeded in changing his platelet count and he should be in surgery Monday. Seriously bad things can happen if you delay heart operations. He’s already had a stint collapse and I’m scared! Has anyone gone through this? Had a family member, friend? What can I do? What will happen?

I have been on depo for more than 8 years with no problems. I quit menustrating more than 7 years ago. I do not have problems with spotting or breakthrough bleeding. However, I just went to the bathroom and am a bit scared as I seem to have had a large amount of bleeding within a thirty minute time span (I was in the bathroom thirty minutes ago and noticed nothing). I do not have any abdominal pains or other symptoms right now. Does anyone have thought on this? Should I panic?

On my grandfather's death certificate, it says he died from cerebral thrombosis and in parenthesis next to it it says vertebral artery. Does this mean he had a stroke?

Recenlty I have been feeling a minor pain in my chest, right about were the heart is. It is just usually a minor pain but it is concerning me. It usually happens when I move in a certain way, bend, stretch or a fast sudden move. The pain can come and go randomley. I also have high blood pressure. I will probably see a doctor but I just wanted to get some opinions on what others might think.

Example, Brittney Spears, Robby Williams, Elvis Presley (before he died), etc? I've always noticed that. A lot of famous people start out very good, but then eventually turn to things like bing-drinking and drugs. Sometimes, as we've all seen, they even turn crazy & need help.

Why does this happen to them? How do they become so badly stressed? Is it the fame that does it?

I have anxiety disorder, but aside from that I have always been a worrier because my mom is like that, and I am a mama's boy. So, I sort of "inherited" about being fearful. Please help me.
