Health - 10 October 2007

I've been sick the past month with strep throat then sinus infection, and now I have a bad cough and finding it hard to breathe, my chest feels heavy, and coughing up yellowish mucus, but it is hard to cough it up. Falling asleep is very hard because when I lay down it's really hard to breathe. My nose is running constantly as well, but this is more than just a cold. Any ideas?

Someone told me an elaborate story about this happening, and I am thinking that he is telling a lie, seeing that a person is technically dead if they need CPR in the first place. What do you think?

I was about to goto sleep last night, went downstairs got a drink and laid in bed, I started to feel something in the back of my throat, felt like phlegm. Went downstairs, tried to cough it up, force it up and be sick and nothing worked.

I finally got tired enough and fell asleep on the sofa, I wake up to find it still here and not budging! I feel as if i can aggrovate it up but i cant get it into my mouth to spit it out, just stays at the back of my throat! Ive tried drinking, eating hard foods, being sick & everything.

I keep clearing my throat, I can feel it come to the top and then I swallow as a reflex and feel it get stuck again... I need some help!

Sominex & Unisom quit working years ago, Ambien quit working after 3 days. 25mg of Seroquel worked 3 years ago, now 100mg sometimes gets me 5 hours of sleep. I have one cup of coffee daily & exercise as much as this tired body allows. Anything out there that works? I have a doctor appointment Friday & I want to be informed first. Thanks.

I have noticed this rubbery taste in my mouth after sucking on a woman's nipples for some time. What causes this taste? And it doesn't seem to be unique to just one woman. Anyone, please explain.

My child qualifies under Section 504 for accomodations in school. So far, this is the first time it is being tried with him.
He has been on many or most of the medications and only one really worked well for him for over a year but it is no longer doing the job.
Now we are trying another medication and we still aren't sure if it's going to help. So, we are basically tweaking it little by little to try to get it just right.
Can anyone please give me any information on how they have helped their child with ADHD? We don't have the trouble with him at home that they have with him at school.

How far does the school have to go to accomodate?

At what point can they say, "Well, ok we have tried this and that and nothing is working"?

Or can they just try modifications ONCE and say, "Well, we tried that and it didn't work, sorry, there is nothing we can do"?

Is there ever any point that they have the right to kick a child out of school because of a disorder that he cannot help

I read the label on the isopropyl alcohol and it says
1.antiseptic, which means kill bacteria

I know bacteria mixed with oil causes pimples and I have acne. So I have a few questions.

Should I rub this (I have very young skin; I'm not even sixteen!)?

If I should...

a.When and how often should I rub it?
b.What should I use with it?
c.What are the side effects?
d. The bottle also says USP 70%; what does that mean?

I always think that i am right. But within very short time i find myself as wrong man. When i think something it seems to me a very good idea. just after few days later it seems to me a very bad and stupid idea.
Age: 25
My mother and sister are mad allready.

but i have full sense.
Now what can i do?
Example: I am trying to find one of my classmate. But i don't know where she is? I want to see her again. so i want to give ad. on newspaper and tv. Lost going to lost my very hard money.

Example: our national team always defeted by the other country and vey poorly. so i always set plan for a new team. and want to make a team. but i have know ability to make team.

releases stress etc.Thats wat most ppl say right.if u do it once or twice a week fine. but my case and my experience is completely different here.i started masturbating since 14.ive been doing it everyday. it was all good. however after a year a noticed that my legs started 2 become excessively hairy. it was a real pain while doing P.E.ppl would easily notice and give nasty comments. as time went on i started 2 feel really tired everyday.but that didnt make me stop masturbating everyday.i still continued. things went worse hair on my leg grew longer and also covered me ***. after 2 years i noticed that it was hard 2 keep up at school.it was hard 2 communicate in groups. it was hard 2 crack jokes memorize things.now the worse had happen 2 me hair is starting 2 grow my ears & face etc. IS IT 2 LATE 4 ME?

I'm adopted and when I was about 6-7 my parents fostered this older boy who before, was quite a good friend of mine. My parents could not handle him and sent him away to another home when I was 9. I developed quite a strong bond with him especcially as I was an only child before. When he left, my dad asked me if I was okay with it and apparently I was not and burst into tears, ever since, the slightest reminder, his name, anything triggers me to become really quite depressed and angry, more than 10 years after. He contacted me online, but I'm not sure whether it's getting anywhere, I thought I would be happy to get back in touch, but it's made me even more depressed than before. I just feel sad ALL the time, and I can't stop crying. I just don't know why I feel so traumitized by it all. I think it really affected me when I was growing up after that.

I am on medication and suffer from chronic, long term, clinical depression. I live in a small town and feel I need a suitable support group, particulaly during acute episodes. Sometimes Lifeline is not an option, and I thought that maybe a reputable support group may help me. There are so many sites on the net I don`t know where to start, or who to trust.

Further to my question yesterday i plucked up the courage to call my local free counselling service. They said that they could not accept me as they only offer short term counselling and they felt i needed something more long term. I asked if there was any other free services in the area and there aren't! I really really need help but i cant afford to go private! What can i do? I cant ask my parents to help as they dont know and telling them is not an option. What can i do now? Why wont anybody help me? I just feel like ending it all! Nobody cares about me! I was brave enough to ask for help and i cant get any!

They say that we are naturally born to sleep at night and be awake during the day but that is not the case with me. I CANNOT sleep at night. I used to work dayshift but I was always so tired during the day. Now that I work a "graveyard" shift I am full of energy at night and I sleep soundly during the day. Of course that is with the help of Tylenol Simply Sleep. I mostly take it because it helps keep me stay asleep during the day while my loud *** neighbors do their daily WWE tryouts upstairs. Yes I live in an apartment. I work the weekend graveyard shift and they have weekends off and they are awake during the day. The only side effect I've had from Tylenol Simply Sleep is really weird dreams. All it is really is an antihistamine. I would assume this is good for a cold. It also helps with my allergies believe it or not. I definitely don't take them during my regular work hours when my allergies kick up. That would be bad. My job is dangerous enough lol.

i remember as far back as 11 years old when my parents would yell at me to go to bed and i'd lay there for hours and not sleep. now i'm 21 and it still seems like no matter what i do i CAN'T GET TO SLEEP.

my usual pattern will start out on very little sleep (about 2-3 hours, sometimes less) and i'll be miserable all day but at night i'll still have a hard time getting to sleep. next night i'll get maybe 4 hours of sleep. then the next night i will CRASH and go to bed around 10 or 11 (which is INCREDIBLY early for me). then that night i absolutely can't get to sleep and the whole cycle starts over again.

i try not to take naps and i exercise at least 4 times a week. i also try to stay off the computer at night.

i'm a bit scared to take sleeping pills because i don't want to be dependant, but here it is almost 6am and I HAVE CLASS IN 3 HOURS and i haven't been to sleep even though i got up at 9:30am!

should i give sleep meds a try and if so which should i ask my doctor about?
