Health - 2 December 2007

i landed mid-shin on the corner of a ledge i was trying to get up onto. I could hardly walk on it, but i had batting practice and i had to run on it a little before i collapsed. It swelled immediately and has a horrible bruise (it looks like i grew another knee). I still can't walk on the leg without pain shooting through me. is this a severe bone bruise or worse? i do not want to go to the ER for a few more days so I can see if the swelling goes down after a while since I just had to go for x-rays on my foot and knees

Can you overdose on Pepsi? I don't mean a lethal one, but...
The only thing I can think of having done is drinking too much soda.
I've been sick for several days with the following:
fever (99.6 to 101.4)
exhaustion
stomach cramps
muscle aches (mostly in the legs)

I have polycistic ovarian syndrome (which has something to do with sugar levels in the blood?) and I'm on... zonisimide ... for it.

Other than that, I can't figure out what it could be. It isn't the flu...

I've been drinking large amounts of water and trying to eat things like eggs and toast.
I'm realllly miserable here.

I need to schedule an appt for my annual exam, but I was wondering at what age we take our daughters to the GYN for the first time? Is it after they start their first period?

Recently I've become very self conscious about my weight/appearance. In a usual day I eat an english muffin for breakfast, 2 pieces of fruit and a water bottle for lunch, a healthy snack like a Kashi bar in the afternoon, and pasta or large salad for dinner. Is this too little to eat? I count calories occasionally, and the usual amount I eat in a day is about 900. If this is too little, is it possible for there to be any negative outcomes from eating too little, like weight gain or bloating?

Also, if this is too little food, what are possible suggestions to eating more and maintaining a very healthy diet as well as not gaining weight?

Thx so much.

My cousin living in lucknow has been suffering from paralytic polio
since
she was 2 yrs old. She is now 19years of age. About a fortnight ago,
she
has been suffering from severe cold and congestion of sputem on the
lungs.
She is complaining of rigorous pain in the whole body, due to which she is unable to move, eat, drink or perform any other activities. Our family doctor have not recommended any medicine for her condition. He said that there is no known medicine for her illness, rather he has recommended a few homeopathic pills to reduce fever but the medicine has not been able to decrease the high temperature. We have tried several paracetamols but nothing seems to work.

A detailed MRI was also performed on her body few days ago, which showed that her right side of the body is completely under paralysis. I would like to know whether this illness is really incurable or are there any tablets (allopathic) that can be prescribed for her.

Hey everyone! I'll be 22 weeks pregnant this coming Tuesday. Last night i noticed a sharp stabbing pain under my left breast. Almost feels like it's under my rib cage on the left going towards the side. It gets worse when i breathe in deep, laugh, cough, sneeze, etc. Its gotten to the point i try not to cough so it doesn't hurt so much. What could this possibly be. I know its not my heart because your heart lies towards the middle of your chest not on the far left side like my pain is. Should i be worried. My baby won't be affected by this will he? Please help!

okay so , i am in a situation at home , and i don't know if you would consider it abuse . my mom always puts me in situations that make me depressed . she constantly bugs me because i weigh almost as much as my sister who is 4 years older than me . my sister used to be on drugs and she was never even grounded . after i go to the doctor and get weighed she puts my results in a open space where friends and family can easily see them . when my mom is crying herself to sleep my father is screaming at my sister so i am the one who has to "comfort" her . my dad constantly calls me a "smart a**" and says that i am fat . my mom talks crap about me to family, friends , and co-workers . i cut myself with all of this which i know i should not do , but she tells me that she is going to kick me out and send me away . she has never physically beat me , but has caused me all of this harm inside . is this abuse ?

as a present i bought him a gillett gift bag with gillett deodarant, shower gel, shaving foam, after shaving cream and along with that i bought him a wilkinson sword razor. when i gave it to him he told me that he can't use the doedarant because it makes his underarms sting and he doesn't like the smell of the gel.
then he told me that he wanted the gillett razor instead because it would go with the other stuff. the reason why i didn't get the gillett razor was because it was too expensive. now im a bit upset because he is not happy with the things i got him. does it matter if i got him the wilkinson razor and will it not work as well??
