E.g. If I am taking a tablet to counteract a certain metabolic byproduct, would it be more effective if I took the tablet at night?

A couple of years ago I hurt my back at work and went through
the whole thing with workers comp, and hiring an attorney for
my case, and went through the surgery I needed at the time. At the end of my situation I settled like most people. My case is of course closed, but I have medical for the rest of my life, but from a friend I found out that I could buy out my medical through the insurance company, is this true or not? Could I buy out my medical and if so how do you go about it?

I am an 18 year old and I am worried that I might be suffering from ED. I have found it hard to get an erection during the course of day..around 12-9. But the hours after and before I am able to get on. I wake up with one and have 6 or 7 others during the course of the morning and I get some during the night. I get them during the night even when watching a movie. Now I think about that one period of time and wonder why I usually never get them in b/w those hours. It is worrying me. Ever since I started thinking about it, it has also been hard to get one during the night(not while I am asleep). I am worried that when I have sex the first time I won't be able to get one. This has been worrying me for the past few days. What could be wrong?

I fractured my finger and was referred to a surgeon. The first visit turned out OK and recommended surgery. The appt was set after a week but I called & cancelled due to personal health issue. At the 2nd appt (just an office visit) he asked me what happened with me regarding surgery. I explained and apologized. He said he can't reschedule me again until after the holidays about 2 weeks later...I was disappointed only because my finger needed some attention. He then acted what seemed to be "unprofessional". He wasn't concern about my worries or cared to answer my questions. I was basically treated unfairly. No matter what, is it right for a Dr to talk to you any way they want, punish you for cancelling an appt or insult you? He said "you have an independent mind"-"you don't listen!" I am someone who do listen! He misjudged me & I felt mistreated. Should I still see him after all this? Should I ask him why he acted unprofessional? Maybe because I'm a new patient or hes just an a*#ho*#???

My mother was abused and she had a horrible life. She recently found a game called Second Life. But that's just it; it's not her second life, it's become her first life. She has negglected everything, including her personal hygene. I lived with her, and being a young kid, I suffered from this too. She gave up on everything to the point where I was taken to a foster home. She was depressed, and she is masking her pain. In this game, she is perfect. Blonde, big busted, rich, and 23 again. She gets mad when we call it a game, she says, " It's not a game, they're real people. In her eyes, she doesn't have a peoblem, this game allowed her to be perfect, and Christian. No real problems. I can understand why she would feel like that, but It makes me feel like I'm not wanted because she doesn't care for me. She can never get her nose out of the screen long enough to even come and watch me get baptised. How can she get help? Is there anything I can do ? PLease help- I want my mommy back.

What's the difference between glucosamine hydrochloride and glucosamine sulfate?

i am on b/c for painful periods just switched from microgynon to cliest and have been now taking the new ones for 2 weeks.
for 1 week i have been bleeding but my gynecologist said spotting for the first month was normal.
last night, down below was very itchy, and the same tonight, i went to the loo and when afterwards it felt as if i still had loo paper stuck there, so i looked in a mirror and it looks like my vagina has swollen.
two red lumps have appeared either side of the "hole" it does not itch but i can feel it.
what is this? the swelling has gone down a bit.
i am still a virgin, my doctor refered me to the gyne cos he believed i might have endometriosis, i get blood clots.

I've had it about 8-9 times now (once in the car which was frightening) where I felt suddenly out of it, like I had fainted for a second or lost conciousness (only a really short moment) and then come round again. It seems to happen (I dont know how it could be related) when I breath through my nose rather than my mouth and usually when I'm sitting (either in the car, watching tv or something) Could I be not breathing in enough oxygen or something?

Okay, well I have a debate about the legalization of marijuana in class after the break, and I'm on the side that says it should remain illegal. Now I know that the opposition will talk about medical marijuana and how it helps ease the pain. What can I say about that? I mean, what are other things patients can use INSTEAD of marijuana to ease their pain?
