parasites on here. My father in law is very sick, He drank some water with a parasite in it, but no one knows what to do. He had doctors from three Mayo clinics take a look at him, and they won't do anything until friday. He has lost about 40 pounds, unable to eat anything, as it comes out the other in the form of water. He took a trip to North Carolina about 2 months ago, that's when he got sick. Please help, we don't want to lose him.

I was hospitalized almost two days ago. I was given three bags of Saline, and as a result, I have retained so much water. I am bloated, swollen, and have gained 9 pounds. How long does it take for Saline to leave the body, and when can I expect to loose the bloat and added weight?

Ok In front of my friends and family I'm all happy but on my own I feel sad, lonely and hopeless! I feel like crying, I don't want to get out of bed anymore, I can't sleep and doing things is an effort. I would probably be ok if people left me alone. I haven't been well and the training centre put me of a course so I feel down. Sorry it's not a question but I had to get it of my chest.

My friend has a molar that is really bothering him. It is his adult tooth and the tooth is broken and part of the filling has come out. He can not afford to see a dentist as they have to have consult and x-rays and that doesn't even include pulling it. He is pretty sure it just needs to come out.Thinks it's an open nerve.

Yesterday i my heart began beating a bit faster than usual and then i had this sudden pain beetween my stomach and chest. The pain was so severe i couldnt help screaming for help. I was having trouble breathing and was sweating alot. The pain went away when i drank some hot water. I dont know if this has something to do with my heart, the pain wasnt in my chest but a little lower.

I just wanted to know if it is possible for a man in his mid 40s with proper diet, to start doing exercise (like cardio) and also weights and build musles and get 6 pack abs? Or is it too old to think about it?

Just curious

ok, I have a sty by my eye. It looks a lot like this:
http://medicine.ucsd.edu/Clinicalimg/eyes-sty.jpg
I have had it for a little longer than 1 week. The first 2 or 3 days you couldn't see anything, my eye just looked reddish pinkish, and it felt like someone punched me in the eye. Then it was really itchy. after the 2-3 days passed the pain went completely away, and my eyeball is no longer red; but now I have this sty. I had it for 4 or 5 days. Is this a sty, or something else?? Should I go see a D.R., or just keep putting a hot/damp cloth by my eye?? And how much longer do you think this will last??
PLZ HELP!!!!!! thanks

i have been on 4 diff rx's. i feel like my doctor doesn't believe me when i say, it worked but now it doesn't. for every pill my symptoms would go away until about a month later they'd return... in some cases worse. being that iv tried many diff pills... is this something that can't be treated? if so how am i suppose to figure out what will help me aside from trying every pill known to man. im tired of being called anti social and being angry/sad. any suggestions. ppl who believe depression is just a person not accepting the harsh reality of life... need not respond :)

do you think the first has to do with the second in a Major way? Like, for me, I find it hard to take responsibility for my actions and to do things when I'm supposed to do them. For this reason, I think being around others I feel to guilty to feel like I'm an equal to them..I feel inferior and like they're an authority over me. Does this happen to anyone else who may have social anxiety, too?

When I lived in Michigan, you could smell the chemicals before you could take a sip, though it was pretty clear, when you looked at it in a tall glass.

Worst I've seen and tasted was in San Franciso, when you held it up in a tall plain glass, there was all kinds of detris (particlates) floating in the water & it tasted like swimming pool water {bleh!!},...

Every time I move into a new place, I realize that I forgot to take the last water filter system I installed in my old place.
So I have to get a new filter system for my new place.
