Okay, I've done some research and have asked a few people but I want to know if you guys have any advice on this.

Do you know of any ways to keep tinnitus in check?

So far, I know if you drink alcohol, it doesn't bother you, valium is the same, and I smoke weed.
I have also heard Dramamine works.
So any other ideas?
Please help.

By the way, I've asked a doctor friend of mine and he said that mairijuana does help by calming your nerves.
So all you anti-marijuana people, I have a doctor telling me its okay so stop saying it is not.
You do not have a diploma from a recognized medical school.

All day long I have been itching like crazy everywhere and it won't go away and when I scratch I break out into welts/hives. I am not taking any medication and haven't had anything to eat, so I know its not from that. This has happened once before where I had to go to the emergency room and wound up getting 6 shots of epinephren. My lip is slightly swollen and my eyelids are slightly swollen, but other than that its mainly the itching thats driving me nuts and I know that I won't be able to sleep because of it.

the article said the child died and that this was an epidimic. Now I can't find out anything about it. It was identified by some initials. M something and at the time I looked up the initials and it pulled up malaria. I am worried that the health people and politicians are hiding from us the extent of this problem. No antibiotic can help with this and when you get it you die very quickly. Within two or three days. I am afraid the community is hiding this to keep from having a panic among the population here.

We can't reach the doctor until Monday, and it's not serious enough to go to an urgent care facility, but I'm really wondering whether my son has the flu. I know it's early in the season, but live-virus vaccines are being given in the grocery-store vaccine clinics in our area, so he has been exposed to people who are contagious with flu.

He's 19. His symptoms have been: fever 101.5 to 102 degrees, much nose-blowing, some dry coughing, some sneezing, sinus and lung congestion (but that's common with his asthma), lots of achiness, general tiredness, headache, and the whole post-nasal drip with the sore throat. He's keeping food down, but doesn't want to eat. No sense of smell or taste. Seems like half the symptoms from each possible illness. He's been sick three days, and he's so healthy that if this is a virus, it's his first ever, so we're new at this.

If it was your kid what would you guess it is? How would you treat it? And how do you occupy him so he'll rest??

They want to remove his kidney, he will not let them. He talks about shotting hisself to keep from going back on the kidney machine again. I learned to run the machine and do treatment at home so to make it easier on him. He is off the machine right now. But he may have to be back on again. But he says he not going back on it and he will kill himself before. His father had his kidney removed 1987 because of cancer and they said he would live four years if remove, not six month if not. He died six weeks after surgery. So dad will not let them remove his. I understand that. It is just him wanting to take his life. I will stand by his choice about his kidney surgery but what can I say or do to keep him from killing himself?

I would like to put on some kind of fundraiser at my school. All the funds would probaly go to breast cancer or child's cancer. I need some ideas whether it's selling homemade items or just taking donations. It can't be too pricey though because then the kids won't buy the items, and I need to be able to afford whatever I do.
