I had what I would consider "mild pain" or an "uncomfortable" feeling in my private area until I urinated this morning. I noticed something dark come out, so I fished it out of the toilet (with the brush) and closely examined it. It looks exactly like photos of a kidney stone seen in Yahoo Image Search.

Could it be possible I had a stone and didn't know it?

What else could it be?

I can't really afford a doctor, so please don't respond with "See a doctor moron!"

When i tell my doctor about the headaches and anxiety he gives me meds that work for a couple weeks then they stop working. he has me on elavil for depression, but he acts like depression is my only problem and that makes me feel crazy. i cant even go into a store without going into some weird panic. i have no insurance and cant work right now so i feel like maybe if i had money he would take me more seriously.im scared all the time that i might go into panic mode so i dont really go anywhere anymore. i cant live my life with this fear hanging over me but i dont know what to do.

I've been trying to look this up forever online but I CAN'T find it anywhere: I'm looking for some place that says what is considered mild/moderate/severe epilepsy based on the number and frequency of seizures. I have found nothing to the sort and it's kind of annoying me. Can anyone provide me with a link and/or the information itself (as long as you give a source for the info)?

In case you're confused, I'm looking for something like: 2-3 seizures per year is considered _____ ...

I've got this sensation in the back of my nasal passages that's bugging me, but is normal with the change of the season when the air gets cool and dry. Seems like it will get worse before it gets any better. Other than a vaporizer and more fluids, what nasal spray is best. Saline seems to help, but is there something better? Thanks!

I would like to cut back on carbs and eat more protein and produce. My problem is that I'm allergic to nearly all raw veggies, all melon, bananas, kiwi, walnuts, and brazil nuts.
I eat small meals 6 times a day, only a tiny snack in the evening, but I'm sorta getting tired of apples and grapes and peanut butter!
Any advice?

I'm allergic to House dust, dust mites, cats/dogs, ragweed, elm tree, birch tree, maple tree, oak tree, bahia grass, bermuda grass, timothy grass.

In evenings when the temp. falls down from 29 degree cels. to 28 or less I start yawning repeatedly. The frequency is 15 or more yawns per 10 minutes. This lasts for nearly one hour,making my jaw joints painful.The period of yawning is more when I am outdoors.I could not understand the reason. Some friends say that since I smoke , my lungs crave for more oxygen.Others thought that when the temperature drops,whatever CO 2 has risen up due to heat,during the day comes down to earth level,resulting in reducing the ratio of oxygen. But then yawning effect should cover every one.Will any one kindly explain it ?
