I recently switched from the combo pack of pills to the mini pills, when I was reading all the info it comes with is says in big black bold print DO NOT TAKE THE 7 INACTIVE PILLS IN THE COMBO PACK BEFORE SWITCHING TO THE MINI PILL.
Why does it say that, they was no reason listed? I have all ready called my gyn but she has not called back yet. I was just wondering if anyone else was told the same thing and why?

The dentist said it could be but is not extracting tooth or draining abscess. . .just giving erythromycin which is not effective against CA-MRSA. Our doctor thinks it cannot grow in the mouth. Anyone know for sure?

I have a guy friend who's my age (22) who smokes like a chimney and drinks coca-cola like it's going out of style. But the strange thing is, he has beautiful, perfect teeth. How is this even possible? Good genes?

my fiancee had a vasectomy just over 2 weeks ago, he still has pain and discomfort, also he says it hurts to get hard, is this normal? i advised him to used ice packs from day 1 but he only used them around day 5 or 6 (he can be a bit stubborn) could this have caused the pain to linger?

also when should he send off his first sample?

A friend of mine has "floaters" in his eyes and said when he went to the doctor and had his pupils dilated, the floaters greatly subsided. Is there anything you can buy at the pharmacy or wherever that would do the same?

I'm concerned about my husband. He seem to be tired all the time. He sleep at night for about 9 to 10 hours and some days he has a nap for 2 to 3 hours. I'm concerned and worried about how tired and how much he sleep. Is it normal for the amount he gets. He 32 years old and average weight.

okay, just went to dermatologist and I was trying to tell him my story of how i was taking vitamin c pills, 2500% daily value, and niacin at night 2000% dv, and then when I stopped taking them, my face turned pale. He didnt hear me out and prescribed me all these things I didnt need. I was literally in there for a minute and got all these prescriptions and a bill.

So, what should I do. My skin is still pale white, and Im black, and im super depressed and I dont know what to do. Can anyone explain this to me?

I am an 18yr old male and have been sick for a week and a half. I was diagnosed with mono w/enlarged spleen about 3 days ago. While the doctor said I will start to feel better in a week or so, he said the spleen can stay enlarged for up to 6 weeks. This weekend is the deer hunting opener, and while I am feeling better and up to hunting, I am wondering if it is safe to go hunting with an enlarged spleen. I'm not sure how the effects of riding an ATV or firing a gun could have on the chances of my spleen rupturing...Silly question, I know, but I really want to go!

She's been complaining of extra pain this month during ovulation. Normally she only feels it for a few hours but it's lasted 4 days now. It isn't very painful, mostly just an annoyance and is gassy too! She charts her temps and it went up today so she isn't ovulating anymore but is still feeling the discomfort. She will only go get looked at for anything unless if someone forces her to go! Like when she had a kidney infection, she kept working through it and still tried pushing herself with a temp of 103!! Should I make her go to the doctor or is it normal woman pain?

This is strange: I left my husband b/c I saw him as emotionally abusive. He tried for custody of our newborn son. I got an eval. which said I had characteristics of bipolar. My husband says I've always been the abusive one and we will stay separated until I'm treated. He believes the abuse was all me and he was just reacting. I don't think I'm bipolar b/c I don't think I've experienced mania...the result on axis I of the MMPI said bipolar-moderate, but the report only said "characteristics of". Is it possible I was manic without ever knowing? Can you have a manic episode and not know? Any advice will help, and please don't be mean...I've been through enough.

In other words, what can one ask a dentist to do which is the cheapest possible thing and which may help provide immediate pain relief? I do not want to spend $500+.

My cousin was in a motorcycle wreck last week that he somehow survived.
His first night in the hospital he was pretty much out of it (he has suffered some memory loss) but his mother wasn't allowed to stay the night with him because of "hospital rules".
Well, apparently he tried to get up out of bed in ICU, and didn't realize everything he was hooked up to and wound up falling over and falling on his face - literally.
Now - he was in ICU and wasn't being checked on like he should have been, and he wasn't found until someone passing by saw him on the floor (a guest of the hospital - not even a nurse!).

First question - why is immediate family not allowed to stay the night if they elect to in certain hospitals?

Second question - does my aunt have a case against the hospital for negligence on their part? I mean, he was in ICU and it took a guest to find him on the floor, and this accident could have been prevented if his mother had stayed the night.
