She sbviously feels really bad. The doctors need to start and IV, but she's very scared of needles (even more so, since she's in so much pain...). Anytime somebody caomes into the room and says something about it, she almost gets panicky and just holds onto me and cries. How can I calm her down enough to let them do it?

i've heard that they can go into the bloodstream and affect the brain. it's a theory and hasn't been proven but should we worry? i am worried.

I had just posted a question about oil-pulling and braces. I didn't receive a real answer, only people telling me it didn't really work and that I was a sucker for believing it did.

I didn't ask "do you think this works?" I didn't say "I think this worked for me, please comment!" I asked a real question looking for someone who had tried this before. I was unable to find the information I was looking for on the internet, so I thought I'd come here in case anyone else knew the answer.

There is no need to be rude and comment when you don't have an answer. I see no point in that or what good it does other people. Especially in a forum called "alternative medicine".... shouldn't people reading a post there be a little more open-minded about what they are going to read?!?

I wear contacts/glasses regularly, so my eyesight isn't perfect to begin with, but just about three days ago, I noticed a dramatic decrease in the vision in my left eye.. There is no pain or redness or anything else unusual, but i've had a headache for the duration of this issue.... another weird thing is when I wake up in the morning, it seems back to normal, but as the day goes on, it gets worse... any idea what this can be? thanks in advance

She also has had diabetes, type 1 ,for over 60 years.
She takes very little insulin as she is very sensitive.She is very thin and cannot eat much.
Her doctor has told her that chemo is her only option.She is 4th stage.
I am so concerned that the chemo will kill her.

She lives with a friend who smokes and is often in the ER for diabetes related problems.He will not be any help.
I live too far away to be there daily.

Does anyone have any helpful ideas or information ? Thanks in advance.

Every time when i say something to someone and they don't react or respond, online or offline, i always seem to get really upset and start have a fight with them, i kind of accuse them of ignoring me. I mean i am second oldest and my sister left when i was three and she never was in my life and i never had the chance to talk to her normally. I saw her just two times after she left me. My parents never understood me and would just get angry if i told them my opinions, is that why i demand for attention so much?

I woke up Tuesday morning with back and chest pain. Whenever I take a deep breathe swallow or burp my back and chest hurts. It kinda feels like the feeling you get of warming from the inside out but instead of warmth it's pain. Right now the pain is only in my back.
The Pharmacist at the store I work says that it sounds like a viral infection on my nerves. I had the shingles a few weeks ago and I had huge rashes on my skin. She told me another form of the shingles is the virus is on the nerves.
What can I do about this pain? I don't have my insurance card yet but this pain is really getting in the way. How long is this pain going to last. Also the pharmaicst told me that this is rare for someone my age. I'm 21. Are they?

I was prescribed Yasmin a month ago by my doctor, and about a week and a half after taking the pill (I didn't miss any, and I took each of them at the same time every night), I had unproctected sex. I searched the questions here and found that different people said that it takes two to six weeks for the pill to take full effect. However, on the official Yasmin site and the information packet that came with the pills it says the pill takes effect only after one week. Is it possible that I have may have become pregnant because I didn't wait long enough?

I really don't enjoy doing anything. I feel like my life has no purpose and I'm destined to fail. I'm very lonely and don't have any personal relationships to anyone except my parents. I'll often burst into tears for no very good reason. However, sometimes I can be happy when I'm around dogs, or watching a funny show, or watching the sunset. I've been like this for over 2 years. Am I depressed or just generally unhappy, and how can I tell the difference?
