ive suffered from headaches for years and doctors always thought i was faking it even when they know i have lymes disease. i since then got my headaches under control. but the problem is i still am in constant pain with my joints and just weird pains in general. i am now affraid to go back to the doctor because i dont want to be called a liar anymore. but i cant go on working anymore with all this pain aboard. what can i do to get there attention this time around? i am only 19 and to young to be like this. i hear alot of kids my age are abusing pills and i think thats what doctors think i am doing. what can i do please?? how can i set myself apeart and show them i am in alot of pain?

My wife has FMS and her doctor continues to prescribe alot of different medications....

This has been going on for eight years now..

Meds I am aware of:

Vicodin
Loricet
Ambien
Flexirral
OxyContin
and a bottle of wine a day


I know she must be terribly addicted by now

She is in complete denial and talking to her is sensless

Signs I have seen

Depression
Sleeps alot
sweats during sleep
figits feet to fall asleep
Refuses to get up in the morning and at least
perform wife duties -- housework.. etc..

Basically a non functioning person until later in the day

After bieng married 8 yrs, i have yet to ever see her medications nor am I ever allowed to go to her doctor with her

I really believe she does not tell him about the drinking
and pill taking combo...

Anyways --- How can I go about doing something about this doctor without him confronting her and then coming to me..

I know he does not live with her, but he is the professio

A friend has lukemia and has started attending classes on some kind of altnerative treatment having to do with sticking acupuncture needles in a 'voo doo doll'. Sounds crazy, but supposedly it has a 98% cure rate.

Thanks!

So I filled my Rx tonite and am gonna start tommorow, but I am way scared to start because of all the side effects, I have been hearing about, headache, nausea.
my sugar has been controlled for the last week with range from 87s to 114's due to taking phentermine, and I have been going to the gym and walking an hour , so I may come off the phentermine once I start byetta
I also have a trip to Jamaica in on Dec 3 for two weeks, thinking I may hold off tilll I come back to the states.
The other thing is the Dr gave me a coupon that covered the needles, and the medicine,,, my pharmacy said insurance wont cover it w/o calling them, has anyone had any issues with the insurance company not covering byetta?
its about $200 w/o insurance.

Thanks

I have an appointment this week to go to the dr but heres whats been happening...

I have chest pains into my stomach on and off, esp in my leftside

Last year during my regular physical my doctor showed concern over a strong pulse in my stomach and sent me for an ultrasound to check for an aortic aneurysm. They told me it was a bit larger than it should be but to get it checked occasionally.

Do these symptoms match up with something having to do with this?? I dont really wanna bring it up if theyre gonna just run a bunch of tests if it doesnt seem relative because I dont have insurance. what do u think??
like yesterday it kinda hurt and i was laughing at something really funny and then the pain got really intense

I'm 16 and a virgin but I feel I'm ready to have sex with my BF. I'm fully aware of all the risks and please don't answer if you're just going to tell me to wait and be young and I'll regret it. My question is how can I go about getting the pill? (I don't plan on having sex if I can't because it's not worth the risk of getting pregnant) Anyways, would I get it from my gynecologist? Will she tell my parents? Also anyone who has/does take it can you explain the side effects and exactly how it works? Thanks :)

I have had nausea that comes and goes...may come for a few days...leave for a few days...and then come back again. I have also had tenderness and a dull aching feeling in my upper right abdomen that also comes and goes and does not always correlate with the nausea. Sometimes, I don't feel the aching for a week or more and then it comes back. There is no real association with the foods I eat. Could this still be my gallbladder? Seeing the doc again tomorrow. Just curious.

I can always tell when it's about a week before my period because I get incredibly Depressed. I know it is from my hormones, but that doesn't stop the suicidal feelings. The rest of the month I am fine.

A good definition not just like, "a sore throat". It has to be good enough to write in an article for health (she says put it in your own words and dont plagerize) I hate eighth grade health!

Oh, btw Thanx soooo much I really appreciate it!!!

I am a virgin and my boyfriend and I have been discussing sex. I know it is different for every woman but I have a question....
He is about 7" long and a rather large girth too...is it likely to hurt? I have heard that the cervix is only about 4" into the vagina...so I'm kinda worried about that if he goes all the way in and hits it. (Also worried about the girth, too.)

On the very back left upper tooth I have a gum line cavity. I cant see it, but I think its pretty large cause I can feel it when I run my tongue over it...

I have an appoinment set up with the dentist for next week, but Im jsut wondering what to expect. Can a large cavity be filled, and can you even get a root canal done on a gum line cavity. Or will it *ah* have to be pulled?

I must be doing something wrong because I have been using Acne cream twice a day, daily and these two pimples won't go away!

I wash my face before and apply the cream like it says.

Are you suppose to rub it in like lotion or like rub it a little but keep the cream showing?

Any suggestions? I use Clearsil by the way. I probably spelt it wrong.

When counting the “28” days between periods, does the counting start from the first day after the period stops? Or from the first day of the bleeding starts?

From the first day after my period has stopped until the first day my period starts it’s usually about 35-39 days. Could there be something wrong with me? Or is there something I can do to make my period come every 28 days?

[if it matters I’m almost 17 and got my first when I was about12]

I used a black fine comb it looks like dandruff from a dry scalp. Would the lice stick to the fine comb. Any suggestions?
