Thanks so much for the many replies nearly all of which gave terrible details of the effects these drugs can have on liver/brain/muscles. Is there anybody out there who is taking statins successfully without side effects?

i have tonsilitis. ( an infection in my tonsils )
and my doctor told me to get some hydrogen peroxide,
the first time i got it. it was from the pharmacy. and that hydrogen peroxide sayd "oral wash" on it. so i guess you can say it was for mouthwash as well. but i ran out so i went to get some more but the usp is 3% and still the same and everything but the new bottle of hydrogen peroxide does say "oral healthy wash" or whatever on it
can i still use it?
i need the infection to go away,

I had gained weight after quitting the cigarette habit and my health is down hill....the pain that radiates from my left breast seems to go right through into my back area behind my shoulder blade. I had complained of dizziness for over 2 years and my breasts are constantly hurting since my last mammogram.WHY/

My cuticles are constantly dry and peeling. I put on hand lotion several times a day and use one that does not have alcohol in it. I drink plenty of water and even did a detox months ago. My nails were looking really great for that short period of time, but then went right back to being dry. If I don't use Sally Hansen's Vitamin E oil every night, they get really bad. Any suggestions, or does anyone know if one thing in particular causes this?

I'm having sleep issues lately. I went to bed last night about 2:30 am, and I just woke up at about 11:00 pm. I litterally slept all day. I generally do not go to bed until between 2:00 and 5:00 in the morning, but even when I've reached as much as 12 hours of sleep, I can't get up. When I do finlly get out bed, I just fall back asleep. Plus I'm so cold, I just can't wake up..even though I live in FL. Am I just lazy or what?

Okay so my crush and I have been making out. (not long, though.)

I have a little cut-- It's closing though. I got it from my braces. Do you think that he or I would get herpes? (the cut was a little open when we made out, but it's closing now like i said.)

My mom is dying of Cervical Cancer. The cancer has spread to her major organs and she has a few days to live. I am devastated because she is only 54 and my mom and I were very close. My mom was in so much pain yesterday that the doctor gave her a higher dose of Morphine. It was terrible to see her screaming in such pain. I went to see her today, and she was sleeping the entire time, and I was relieved that she was not screaming in pain anymore. I talked to her, and told her how much she means to me, and I was wondering if she could hear me? Can anyone answer this? I am not sure if she could or not.
