Health - 26 September 2007

I think I may be coming down with my first UTI. For the past 24 hours or so I keep feeling like my bladder is full, even when it isn't, and it burns a little when I urinate. I've been drinking a lot of water and cranberry juice, cleaning the area with anti-bacterial soap, wearing cotton underwear, and taking AirBorne. Is there anything else I can do to help fight it off? Is there anything I can get over the counter for it? At what point should I see a doctor? I just started a new job and don't have health insurance yet, so I don't want to go to one if I can avoid it. Also, I'm currently menstruating and am wondering what type of feminine hygiene I should use. Thanks for the advice!

I dont have health insurance or alot of extra money, but I am depressed and at the end of my rope... I really dont know what to do.... It feels hopeless to me but I know I need to do something. Ive thought about natural herbs but I think I need to see a doctor. Can I go to my OB that delivered my son? Or just any family practitioner?

to a solid D. However, when the surgeon did the procedure he used the "free nipple technique" meaning he completed removed the nipple and reattached it, or grafted the nipple on. Now. my nipples look nothing like nipples AT ALL. They are grossly disfigured. I have spoke with my surgeon about this, and he states they should take shape soon. However, it's been almost 2 years, now, and they still look HORRIBLE! What should I do, can I sue this surgeon, or visit another surgeon to get it fixed, if it's even fixable?

i am 15
and ever since i can remember.. probably as i got my 2nd teeth, i noticed that one of my central incisors has a yellow stain in the middle of it but the rest of it is white.
Also, since i can remember i have always had quite white teeth, but whiter "blobs" on them. Someone told me this might be caused by dental flurosis?
Does anyone know if there is a way to cure this and how?
It makes me feel really self consious

Here is my problem. 1 wisdom tooth, 75% of the enamel is gone, it's abscessed (infected) , and hurt 95% of the day.
Is there a way to get rid of the pain? I'm currently taking near lethal doses of ibuprofen (3,000MG every 24 hours), and very high doses of acetaminophen (about 4,000MG every 24 hours). These 2 drugs do almost nothing. Regular aspirin does nothing. I decided to try hydrocodone (left over from something else) , hoping to get some sleep (only sleep I got the last week was when I literally passed out), well I got about 20 minutes sleep before I woke up with severe pain, and could not go back to bed.
Topical antiseptics do not work.

My major problem is: No dentist in my area will accept payments, there are no free/low cost dental clinics, none of the 4 ERs in my area will accept patients with tooth problems. There isn't even enough enamel left for me to try pulling it myself.
My zip code is 47129.
Any ideas?

When you are hungover its because mainly of a lack of water correct? They say you should have a pint of water before sleep and it will lessen your hangover. So if all night I was to drink juice diluted with water and a bit of vodka, I should feel alot better the next morning than if I drank vodka coke for instance? If you had a pint of water with 10% juice and 10% vodka, you should be fine next morning.

Two days ago I felt a spot develop on the side of my nose. Now the side of my nose is red and swollen and sore to touch. I think it might be a boyle developing beneath the skin but I cant be sure. Is it worth a trip to the doctor or does anyone know what it is?

what symptoms would precede someone going from type 2 to type 1?
would it be the normal diabetes symptoms showing up again?
how fast could the change take place - ie, going from having stable type 2 with few symptoms to major symptoms again

I am having issues with depression... I dont have medical insurance and cant afford to visit a doctor. Even if I could I couldnt afford the meds... a friend of mine sudgested I try St Johns Wort herb for my depression. Its starting to really interfere with my life, I dont enjoy anything, I hate going out, watching tv, listening to the radio, I just want ot stay in my room and sleep. I cry every day for hours. So anyway, Ive gotten online and done some research on this herb. It says that it can interfere with different pills. Oral birth control being one of them. So my question is does anyone know if that pertains to the birth control shot? I just had a baby July 15th this year (10 weeks ago) and dont want another for atleast 3 years...... any serious input is appreciated.

Thanks

What are some good songs to workout to? Right now I work out to good 'motivator' songs such as Unwritten and Suddenly I see... stuff like that. Songs that make me want to dance and keep me motivated to run/workout at the same time. Thanks!!!!!!
