My boyfriend gets really sick with allergies every year at this time. He takes Claritin and it seems to not be giving him any relief lately. He doesn't have insurance to go see a doctor. Every night he seems to get worse . His nose stops up so bad that he can't breathe. He's tried Vick's to open up his nasal passages and that doesn't work. Can someone recommend something over the counter that will give him relief.

-it happen 2 weeks ago today.
-the worst of the injury was to the #3 metacarpo-phalangeal joint and the #4 proximal interphalangeal joint (severe swelling and pain).
I when to A&E(Emergency) the day after it happen and got xray but they could see any fracture.
They didn't say to imobilise the joints or anything.
Alot of the swelling has now gone down around the #3 MP joint but the #4 PIP joint is more swollen around the lateral regions and the entire #4 digit looks deformed. It's also slightly stiff.
Could there be a fracture at the #3 PIP that wasn't noticed on the xray?
Should i imobilise the joint? any help appreciated...

I am not on the bc pill for pregnancy. My husband is fixed . We are planning our anniversary trip to the mountains and it will be during my period (Oct 8-11) I started a pack of Ortho cyclen the Sunday after my last period with the intention of skipping the placebos and going straight to the next pack-thus skipping a period. But like when I was on them regularly, I am already getting bloated (gained 20 lbs on ortho cyclen last time I regularly used them)

Is it possible, instead, to simply stop taking the pack a week before the placebo and induce an early period? I already understand it could be a rough period, but as long as I can be o.k during our trip, I can handle that. We have been married nine years. We have 3 kids(blended family) and rarely get any time together. I really want this to be a romantic trip, as we have little time together. Can I stop the pack early and start my period early, or must i just continue to the next pack and skip a period for a month?

I mean, i can't go to sleep because I lay awake thinking of things like death... I seem a happy person, but i feel like everything is pointless because one day I will be an old man looking back, and therefore everything I do is worthless because it will be over, and once i look back on it, i see how much has gone.
I've just started year 11 - last year of compulsory education, and i just don't know where all the time has gone, it makes me feel depressed....

Like i said I'm generally a happy person, but recently, i feel like everything is pointless......

I delivered at 34 weeks, was monitored closely and then discharged 3 days later (without a BP medicine). The day of discharge they talked me into a Rubella vaccine. Strangely enough I relapsed that evening and was rushed back into the hospital with elevated protein levels and BP 182/128! Could it have been the shot?

We had someone from the council pest control to put rat poison down and now it relly stinks of mice. But how can we find them to get rid of them? Weve looked in the bathroom cupboard where theyve been hiding and theres no sign. Would the pest control people be able to help in any way? I cant stand the smell!!

My mother in law had emergency surgery last night after it was detected that she had a leak in her colon from diverticulitis. She had part of her intestine and colon removed and now has a colostomy. She is in ICU and hundreds of miles away. I was wondering what the mortality of this producer was?
