Health - 27 September 2007

I have had orthotic inserts for my feet since 2000. I am 57 years old and have high arches. My feet still sore in the morning and if I sit down after working in the yard etc., they see to hurt again. And my knees and legs are starting to have some pain.

Is is possible I need new orthotics and that my feet are causing the knew and leg problems (as opposed to my age and my being a bit overweight)?

I can never remember this, so I figured I might as well ask and write it down.... Which color of phlegm (from the nose or coughed up) means what?

What does clear phlegm mean?
What does cloudy white phlegm mean?
What does yellow phlegm mean?
What does green phlegm mean?

It is recurrent, happening about 3-4 times a week, usually at night. What could this mean? This has been persistnet for about six weeks. Should I consult my doctor or just dismiss it?

Hey can anyone please help me with this problem.
The last two nights in a row my girlfriend has had periods of total memory loss, she comes home from work fine then something just clicks and its like she is someone else.
The first night I just put down to her being tired but two nights in a row I really am starting to worry. The hallucinations are she always talks about this other girl thats in the room with us whos magic but who doesnt like me, the girl also tells her to do rude vile things but she refuses to do them, on one occasion 'the girl' told her to kill herself. I tell her the next day what she said and she laughs and cant remember any of it.
The second night was alot worse it was almost like there was another personality involved..and she was alot more depressed and wanting to hurt herself. After i finally stop her hitting herself she cries and says make her stop.
I really have no idea what is going on can anyone please help. She also has Borderline and anxiety problems.
tnx

I have worked in a bakery for 17 years. took a break from it for a while and just recently went back to being a cake decorator. About 3 weeks ago my back started hurting so badly that I am unable to function. I am able to go to work but I am in extreme pain. The Dr. will not see me till the 3rd of Oct. I cannot bend in the morning and wake up with a terrible backache. What do people do when they can't do the job that they have done all of their life? I have children to take care of and just can't stop working. But, I can't continue with this pain either. Any ideas?

I had a misstep when i was 12 years old. A small round bump appeared under my left ankle as a result. Now i noticed that it has become bigger. A mass of muscle enveloped the bump ( i think it's the mass which grew bigger). I had the lump checked and the doctors said that there is nothing to be afraid of. I don't feel any pain at all but im just worried that it might be cancerous. My tita died of cancer last year because she dismissed a lump under her armpit in the past 25 years.

Spring and Summer I feel just fine, but for some reason during Fall & Winter I wake up almost every morning feeling like I got hit by a bus. Sore muscles, slight headache, scratchy throat and pretty congested. It almost feels like a hangover! From a day to day paspect I don't change my routine during these months. Could it be allergy related? I live in Atlanta GA in case geography has something to do with it.

our girl has dry itchy skin, no allergies. and no fleas... yes i am sure, and so is her vet, believe me we thouroughly checked..
she does have areas of dry skin,,,,,,
the first soap was oatmeal.. paid almost ten dollars for it, but honestly it smelled like cheap dollar store stuff.. and she was even more itchy..
i tried one at my in-laws house when we were there, it again was almost ten buck, but it had oatmeal, and baking soda, now it smelled really nice, light, and mild... she seemed to be fine after..
well it has been about 2 wks, and she seems to be ithcing really bad again...

any suggestions? she got really filthy and muddy, needs a bath. but any ideas of what to try???

I had blood work done a few weeks ago, and last week my doctor called to tell me that my cholesterol was a little high. It wasn't high enough to warrant medication, but it was high enough that it warranted discussion about ways to get it back down to a healthy level.
The two days prior to having my blood drawn I had been eating a lot of egg salad. I'm talking 2 out of 3 meals were egg salad sandwiches. I was wondering if this would have caused my results to be a little higher than usual.
I had meant to ask my doctor while I was in his office, but was more concerned with getting information about how to lower my cholesterol and forgot.

I just realised this~ the reason I don't smile that much in photos is my teeth, they are just slightly pushing forward... i really don't want to go through a year of braces... can you imagine what it's like in the meeting room full of female eating men?

alternatives?

We went to Florida to visit a relative, the day we were leaving my daughter had a slight case of diarreah, I also noticed she had tiny tiny bumps like goosebumps on her face, barely noticeable until up close, I just noticed her skin didn't look as smooth as usual. She is slightly warm, but I wouldn't call it a fever. She is still somewhat active but sometimes says "I don't feel good". Her diarreah has improved a little, but her face still has those tiny bumps (forehead, nose, cheeks) it's not on her body. I am considering bringing her to the pediatrician. Am I over-reacting?

my husband and i used to have arguments on taking a bath at night. I'm worried of his health because he prefers taking a bath at night instead of day time. i always ask him to take a bath before playing golf but he'll always refused.
