I think the reason I am having painful intercourse is because I need lubricant.
He is large and I have to wait for 2 days to have sex again because I am sore from being so dry.
What do you use and how do you manage to tell him you need some lube?

I've got a meeting in two hours and I am losing my voice. I've had chicken noodle soup, hot lemon water with honey, halls cough drops, and a ton of OJ. Nothing has worked. Is there some QUICK way to fix this?

PLEASE HELP!

Which is more dangerous to my body ...

Large doses of prednisone and methotrexate?
or
White blood cells attacking my muscles ( severe polymyalgia) ?

I don't see my Rheumatologist for 4 more weeks.
We've been reducing my prednisone by 1mg every 2 weeks.
The pain kicked in almost immediately, but I'm persevering, determined to get off these crippling drugs.

But now I've begun wondering if the attack of the white blood cells (very painful) is damaging my organs as well, and whether I am doing myself more harm than good by fighting on to get rid of these drugs?

Do any of you have any insights that you can share with me please? I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't, I'm so depressed and weary from the pain and from the drug side effects that I feel like there is no hope. I realise that sounds selfish and dramatic when so many people have terrible illness that is worse, but I am not coping just now.

Thanking you in advance, Lizzie

i have been diagnosed with personality disorder and depression 6 mths ago and i'm on effexor xr. I'm noticing that i'm getting worse and i know i'm doing it but can't stop. My moods are so unstable, i get depressed easily, i take offence easily and take everything the wrong way, i'm demanding when i don't mean to be and it is causing me and my boyfriend to fight heaps. I constantly feel like he never wants to do anything with me and that he doesn't love me so i find myself desperate for constant affection. What can i do to help control this. I sometimes feel like giving up. I've lost all desire to talk to or visit friends. I don't want to leave the house and i've become so dependant on being with him. I don't feel happy deep inside with myself.

The surgeon performing the task of getting them out of my mouth (the left molar in the jawbone) failed to remove it after FOUR painful hours of struggle. He put something with eugenol on the wound and left the DEAD tooth in its place, put some stiches and told me to wait at least three weeks before attempting the surgery again. I am not sure he knows what he's doing, and I need a second opinion from a professional dentist.
What's gonna happen with me? Should i leave the molar on its place for good or should I schedule another surgery (with other surgeon, of course) in three weeks?
As for now, the pain is UNBEARABLE and I wanna be numb. Please help me! I need answers. please.

I really need to know the effects of the following on your body. This is really serious and I need to know what is going to happen to my friend. He drank beer this morning and the drank jack daniels later. Then to get the traces of pot out of his system he ate a tissue with bleach on it. I need to know what this could do to your body. Thank you.

I'm bipolar (cyclothymic) and lately I've felt stranger than normal.
The past 3 days I've been HIGHLY manic. As in, random insane laughter. I haven't felt truly blissful, it seems, all month. I thirst for time locked inside my own head, secluded from the rest of the world. Adolescents make me sick. Even some of my friends are beginning to make me sick. I feel very short-tempered, like everyone's just... frustrates me. Nobody else really notices, but I feel it building up inside, like a balloon that just can't stretch any larger. I'm finding it hard to differentiate between dream and reality. Oh, and I've developed an odd twitch right below the right side of my collarbone (most likely unrelated, just thought I'd toss it in).

I've never quite experienced these sorts of feelings. I've always been mellow, optimistic, outgoing, and level-headed. What's going on?

Do you think its ironic that men are usually big and strong but they have a huge weakness between their legs/? in their balls. Like that most men tower over me because im short and they are alot stronger than me and all i have do is slap or hit them in the balls and down they go, do u love it girls or do u use it?

I was at a friends house today, and her daughter took one of her diet pills that was sitting on the counter, pulled the capsule apart with her teeth, then threw it on the ground. She didnt ingest all that much, but a dextroamphetamine seems pretty powerful. She called poison control, and they basically said that Toddlers usually don't swallow things if it has a foul taste. They told her to keep a close eye on her daughter and to give her syrup of ipecac. She didn't have any syrup of ipecac, so she gagged her daughter until she threw up.

Does anyone else think the poison control people handled the situation badly? Has this ever happened to anyone? Tell me what you think.

I have two kids of my own, and it worries me that poison control may not be at the top of their game. Who knows when one of my kids accidently ingests poison.

I'm so fortunate to be paying through the nose for ANTHEM healthcare coverage -- here's why...

In late November, I was rear ended by an insurance agent from PIAA in Henrico, Virginia -- at 45 mph. As a direct result my right knee swelled up to the size of a softball and I had to finally go to Patient First to get a knee imobilizer because of the pain and because an extreme amount of fluid had built up in my knee...it was a lot of fun, especially driving with it off which caused unbelievable pain...

Anyway, the fine folks at ANTHEM healthcare now are denying coverage because "the symptoms don't match the care provided, therefore they're not going to pay for the coverage" meaning I get a double whammy from the GEICO ripoff agency and ANTHEM healthcare ripoff "businesses"...

I guess it's all about the money when it comes right down to it -- Why should healthcare companies pay money out to anyone ??? "ANTHEM -- We're rich, you're not, so go suffer..."
