Health - 2 December 2007

Thought that I'd already posted this question, oh well here we again:

My cap fell off one of my incisors, and I was wondering whether it would be possible to use fixodent (or similar product) to keep it in place for the time being?

My insurance won't kick in again until January and I don't know if this was a cap put on by my current dentist or the one I used to see last year.

My worry is that the adhesive might work too well and damage what is left of the tooth when to cap has to come off and affixed permanently once more.

I recently noticed a large bump in the center of my hard palate, and someone told me it's probably torus palatinus. However, I'm still a bit concerned and I have absolutely no means to get to the dentist (out of state, no car, in college, finals week, etc). It's really hard, slightly pale and narrow. I smoke, but not a whole lot as I've been trying to quit. I also haven't been smoking very long. I'm 18 years old. There's really no way it could be anything bad, right?

I have permanent retainers on my upper and lower jaw. How would I floss them? Would I pull the thread under the wire?
Thanks.

My hamstring has been hurting me for months now, I can't squat or backpedal without a slight pain. I need to know what to do in this situation. It's probably to late to use the RICE method, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Our football season is over, so I have time. "Westgate Football, New Iberia, Louisiana"

2 weeks ago I had my labret peirced. In the past week or so I have noticed that when I lie down in bed, my two front bottom teeth get the same feeling as when you bite down on tin/aluminum foil. I think maybe because the peircing is pressing against my teeth. any ideas?

My husband has gone to the ER twice with chest pains and both times he has been cleared of heart problems and told it was panic attacks. To me, it sounds like hiatal hernia based on his symptoms (acid reflux, burning in center of chest, excessive burping, among other things). My question is, when he had an x-ray done in the ER, would it have been visible?

We've tried soaking the foot in Epsom salt to take out the soreness, but it's been three weeks, and he's still complaining about the pain! It hurts to keep to leg elevated, and when sitting for long periods of time, the whole leg hurts. He's getting very little(if any)sleep at night, and it's taking a toll. I'm out of suggestions, and he's not scheduled to see the podiatrist until Wednesday. Does anyone have any other solutions? Thanks!

Whenever I have an orgasm, I almost always pass out and remain unconscious for a few seconds to several hours. Also, whenever I regain consciousness, I have a HUGE headache, like a hangover. Does anyone know what I can do about this?

A couple of months ago, I found out that I have vaginismus and have been seeing a therapist and have been trying excersizes (sticking the finger in) and I get to a certain point (circa 3 inches in) where it feels like I'm entering a new smaller hole which is apparently the cervix.

I'm not seeing my therapist for the next month because of finals week and just overall a hectic schedule these next couple of weeks, but I have to continue my excersizes.

So my question is: theres only one hole that my finger is supposed to go in, and I'm apparently touching my cervix, is there a way to continue my dialtaing excersizes without aggravating my cervix? and if theres a different route to making the dialators go in further, what is it?

On October 11 of this year, I was diagnosed as having a serum ferritin level of less than one. As of late November, it was up to a 5. Since then, I have upped my iron dosage (Ferrous Sulfate 5 gr/325 mg) to 3 pills daily per my doctor's advice and have been consciously trying to eat more iron rich foods. I am a vegetarian, so I've been eating black bean soup or lentil soup daily, as well as pumpkin and sunflower seeds. I try to snack on Total cereal, which has 100% of iron DV and take a daily multi-vitamin, which also has 100%. I eat Kashi cereal with soy milk for breakfast every morning. Question: Why, if my ferritin is slowly creeping up, is my hair falling out more? With ferritin that low, can you really overdose on iron with my diet? Are the non-heme iron sources I'm eating actually inhibiting my iron absorbtion? Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I am truly afraid I will go bald if things keep going at this rate!
