I hear just as many say you can't spot reduce as you can spot reduce.

Respected opinions on both side....
Who is telling the truth?!?

I've been on Vicodin for about 4 years. It's past time for me to STOP. My habit is illegal and it's expensive. I've tried on line pharmacies and they screwed me over bad. I can't do it anymore. I take Tramadol, which is sort of a mood enhancer and that seems to be making the withdrawals easier. When I take nothing I feel like I wanna die! It's not hard for me to get Tramadol because I have an Rx for it and it's non narcotic. What I"m wondering is, I do have some Wellbutrin, it's a mild (I think mild) antidepressant. Do you think think this will help with the severe depression? I'm so depressed and sick and cranky from this. It's only been one day! And my head hurts so bad it's going to explode. On top of everything I have a severe sinus infection and now that I have no PK, I really feel it! Ugh. I have children who don't need to see this. Any serious advise? Anyone been through this? What helped? I WON"T go to the Dr. and tell him about this so... not an option. Thanks all!

It's not my period because I just got it a week ago. I don't think it's old blood. It sure don't look like blood. It's just black/brown slime. What is it and why do I get it?

My husband has been having chronic lumbar pain for about a month now and has been in and out of not only the doctors office, but also the emergency room. He's missed a lot of work, and could now possibly lose his job. He is a chef and woks in a kitchen 40+ hrs a week. He's been perscribed Flexeril 10mg, Vicodin 500mg and 750mg, Motrin 800, Tramdol 50mg, and Robaxin 750mg. Im starting to get worried that this is going to hurt his body more, seeing as how it doesnt help much. He has recently had a nerve test done, but the results just show mild pain. He's at the point where he'd rather be paralyzed than in this kind of pain. The doctors wont give him a MRI (if that would even help). Im wondering if anyone has had similar symptoms and if so, what was the outcome? What steps should we be taking?

Lately i've had anxiety constantly. Sometimes i can give myself a panic attack. I think about my breathing and convince myself it's irregular and then my chest starts to feel heavy, and my heart starts beating fast, like i'm about to die or pass out. It scares me and its happening daily now. I'm constantly thinking about it, so it makes it worse, but i can't stop! I thought something was seriously wrong so i went to the ER and they did a bunch of tests and said i was fine. They gave me an inhaler and ibuprofen, and didnt take me seriously because im a teenager. I dont want drugs I just want this to stop. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

I'm a 21yr old college student. Lately I've been looking back and I realized how much I wasted my youth and missed out on life. As a teenager I was miserable, living with my parent. Had no social life, no real friends only bad ones and never had a gf. I wasted my time playing games and drugs as a form of escapism from my miserable reality and parents. I didn't realize what life was supposed to be. Always having money problems and I suffered poor health. I had sleep apnea, but we were too poor to see a doctor. I achieved nothing in school, got bad grades and had no ambition in anything.
It feels like I've just woken up from a 10yr coma into this mess called my life. Had I known I could move away from home and live with other family relatives I would have done so, but I was kept ignorant of that fact.
Oh God I feel like crap right now, I have no social life, I'm on probation. Its been a month since my 3rd semester has started and I've missed so many classes.

heavy smoking destroys the pseudostratified ciliated epithelum lining the trachea. Speculate what might happen if these cellsare replaced by nonciliated epithelium during the course of tissue repair?

I shattered my fibula, broke a chunk out of the tiba AND a hairline fracture, spread the mortis(?) joint and damaged the ligaments, nerves, etc. I fought with my insurance for 2 weeks to get to see a doctor (seriously!) and after surgery requiring screws (3) and plates (3) 7 months later I still can't walk a lot, have severe swelling, pain and a very bad limp. I have to use a cane to walk too. I had LIMITED physical therapy thanks to same insurance. I'm nearly 50 but the doctor was impressed at how fast the shattered fibula is fusing back together. The fractures were in three places there, vertial and multiple fragments. How long before I can walk normal again? I have a 'friend' that is ashamed of me and tells me I slow him down, I'm not healing fast enough and says I'm a big baby. I dragged myself up a flight of stairs, into my house and called EMS after hopping to the phone. I haven't cried about this once. I took care of myself 2 weeks after surgery and continue to. So how long?
