this morning. It's pretty deep, but strangely there was no bleeding. The area around the cut is red as I would suspect, but there is also a red streak that stops at the edge of his arch and does not extend to his ankle. I'm not sure what the infection streaks look like, but could it have gotten infected that fast? It was only about 6 hours since he cut it.

After years of being on Nexium I have stopped taking it because I am trying to use a more natural method.On the advice and help of a naturopathic doctor I am trying to put healthier things in my body rather than prescriptions drugs.Anyway,I'm wondering if anyone out there uses the apple cider vinegar for stomach problems/reflux and how is it working for you?It seems to be working for me but I think my body is reacting to being off the Nexium and I haven't been feeling so great.I'm not giving up but was just looking for some encouragement or success stories from someone who uses the apple vinegar.Only serious answers and thanks in advance.

My husband and I were sitting on the couch and his foot just randomly started hurting so bad he curls up. It comes in phases and he says its a sharp stinging pain under the skin. It's at the top of his foot about an inch below the crevice between his pinkie and ring toe. I thought he got bit by something but he says it's under the skin and it is a little puffy where the pain is. My first thought was a blood clot but I really don't know much about that to go and make assumptions. The pain goes away and if I bend the outer corner of his foot or push on the spot it will be a little sore like a bruise but then about every 5 minutes he cringes from a wave of pain again. We don't have health insurance so a doctor visit is really out of the question.

I'm 13. I have many of the symptoms. It takes me forever to fall asleep at night. I usually don't wake up in the middle of the night, but when I do, I can't go back to sleep. I fidget constantly. I have lost interest in many of my favorite activities. I hate being around my family and participating in family activities. I have trouble concentrating in class. I feel horrible all of the time. It's not like normal sadness, and I can't seem to understand what's causing it. If I am depressed, shouldI get help? Based on the information given if I do have depression, how would you rate it on a scale of 1-10? I've never felt like this before. If not depression, what is it?

sjogren's syndrome, lupus, or what? I've never heard of a dry eye tearing. I thappened twice in 9 days. It could be related to my Rheumatoid or connective tissue disorder. I also believe I have Raynaud's Phenomenon(over reaction of blood vessels and arteries due to cold/heat/emotional response) My face gets red, especially my nose ,cheeks, chin, and forehead. Sometimes my legs and feet turn red to and it feels l;ike they are on fire. I know I need to see a rheumy but I thought I would ask opinion here first. I already have over 14 types of arthritis so a few more won't surprise me. Anyone that can ofer any help would be gretly appreciated. Thanks

I used to have one on my contacts, but he sort of got deleted.
Well it's like this, I need a new one, any volunteers?
I think I have issues which I feel I want to openly discuss, here on Yahoo!
What are the sorts of things you may ask? (sorry, but it's all a bit new to me, and I haven't been tested yet)

Using tanning beds reduces the appearance of stretch marks? I have some around my navel as i lost a lot of weight healthy but quickly and some have faded but there are some stubborn ones. People have said using them could help and i also have palmers cocoa butter which is also speeding up the process but would using tanning beds accelerate the process?

How long does it stay in your body and where does it travel to? Can it end up in a place where it will hang out and do something or does it move along with the rest of your ingested substances?

So, this is a little embarressing, but none of you know who I am anyways so I'll ask it. For the past few months I've been having some stool trouble, bloody to be exact. Its kinda on again off again. It happens, then it doesn't happen for a couple weeks, then it does, etc. I looked up the symptoms of colon cancer and obviously bloody stools is one of them, but so is fatigue and abdominal pain. I don't know if I get fatigued, but I'm often tired(then again, I'm 16 and us teenagers are tired often) and I don't know about the abdominal pain. I don't know if this is a concious thing because I heard about stomach ulcers or what.

I've told my friend about it, and he said it happened to him too and it will eventually go away.

The blood is on the stool and I don't know what else to add.

I need to know if someone has had distorted vision and/or light really hurting your eyes after the surgery. If you have, what is it called and can an eye doctor fix it? I can't work, because I can't see. The eye doctors say they can't find anything in my eyes that are causing it? It seems doctors stick together on these things. Please help. Thank you

Now i have had TMJD for 3 long months and things have changed since. I have tried wearing a soft mouth guard at night because as of now i have not gotten any treatments done. However 3 weeks ago i was spitting and i accidently bit down and the next day something changed. Most ppl who have tmjd their jaw is unhinged on one side. However mine somehow the next day shifted left, no its not normal or where its suppose to be but its closer than it was. Good sign or bad?

Also i have been getting more sharp shooters through my nose and it feels like nose pops, while the teeth soreness and me feeling like im going to loose teeth is still there the ear fullness and infection have gone for sometime now. Headaches are gone for the most part but im feeling more fitiqued. Help me please anyone, doctors and or ppl.

In your opinion is it alright for someone to make fun of, abuse, harass, harm or disrespect prostitues and women you would consider to be "hoes"?

I have noticed in todays culture a lot of people think its alright if not expected to do or say abusive things to and or about prostitues, women who sleep around, women who do drugs and women who are in abusive relationships or let themselves be abused by men. What do you think.

by the way i am asking this question in this section because i am especially looking forward to seeing female's opinions on this subject and im guessing this section would be the most likely to get that.
