I am extremely sensitive to stimulants of all kinds, and so cannot take over the counter decongestants that contain pseudo-ephedra, nor can I take natural remedies that contain ma huang which contains natural ephedra.

When I get a sinus infection or a cold I am absolutely miserable due to the severe congestion.

I've tried nasal irrigation with a neti pot, which only offered very mild relief for a very short period of time. I've also tried this homeopathic nasal spray called Sinus Buster, which uses capsaicin pepper extract and eucalyptus in very dilute amounts. This also offers a small amount of relief for a pretty small amount of time.

Are there any other options out there that have worked for others??

Ok my high school reunion is coming up soon and I'm trying to lose a few pounds. I've been on the low-carb diet and eating lots of protein and vegetables. The other day while I was drinking my morning coffee I started nibbling on the edge of the newspaper that I was reading and I realized it tasted pretty good. So good, in fact, that since then I've been tearing off a few pieces of it every day and putting it in salads and sandwiches. It also tastes good with a little bit of salad dressing or olive oil. Sometimes I even eat an entire page of it in the morning with my coffee! (I always read it first, I want to stay informed of current events) Do you think this will be damaging to my health, or can I keep eating it?
Also, how many calories are in newspaper? Is it okay if I bring some newspaper burritos to my reunion?

I do not have a piercing. For a couple months it has been crusting, and there would be a smell coming from it. I would clean the crust out, and I would notice it is damp inside, like some sort of goo or something. I clean it well in the shower. I even put alcohol inside it, which seems to make it worse. It actually started to crust the day after I put alcohol in it to remove the smell.

Now, I am noticing that the little dot inside the belly button (the skin inside the innie) is red. I just put alcohol in it and it burned a lot. What is wrong?

Am I allergic to mosquitoes? Everytime I get bit by a mosquito it swells and I start itching. I was bitten by a mosquito this morning on my back near my left shoulder. Now the muscles where my shoulder and neck connect are sore, I have a very small bump to the right of the bite, and a larger sore bump on the front part of my shoulder.

My husband and I have been TTC our first child for four months now with no success. I know it can take a while to make a child, but I did some research and I'm worried I may have endometrosis.

I do pass some blood clots during my period, usually the entire thing. Sometimes they're large, sometimes not.

I have painful bowel movements at times. Sometimes, I have to stand up during one because it hurts SO bad. This happens during my period sometimes and also when I'm not on it.

Sex isn't painful, neither is peeing during my period. My period is kinda heavy but i do have a beeding disorder that causes my blood to not clot properly. my periods are always regular. what do you think?

I feel like, in general, those who write on the internet, are those who have bad experiences.
So every time I read about problems that I have or that my family has, I get all freaked out - and I think almost unesscesarily so.
You?

My grandpa used to complain of this too when he was alive. Right now it feels like there is a needle stuck in my toe.

And yes, I have checked my feet and there is nothing stuck in them. This is an internal problem of some sort. These feelings come randomly.

It's not so bothersome that I'd need to see a doctor, but it is pretty weird and can be painful. Anybody know something about this phenonmenon?
