For the past week, my lower right eyelid has been constantly twitching. It will twitch 3-4 times every few minutes and is really annoying! Anyone know what I can do to make it stop?

By the way, I think it started when I was holding in my sneeze. I work in a bakery and don't want to sneeze on the food, so I perfected the "silent sneeze". Anyways, I held a big one in and that's when my eye thing started.

I understand we have to wait 7 years before prescription RX can have a generic on the market.
I don't know exactly when Pravachol and Niaspan first went on the market. I would like to find out when they would be eligible for generic. I have a donut hole on my Medicare Part D and this can make a difference as to whether I stay with my present carrier.

I've seen that 2000mg is the max, but no explanation as to why, when the very guy who discovered its effects took 9x that, daily. I've had an on/off cold/sore throat going on for way too long and have decided to majorly boost my immune system. So how much do you think I should have?

sometimes I get this feeling like the world isn't real. like Im detatched from reality, and stuck in constant de ja vu. things start spinning, and I feel like Im going crazy.
Ive researeched this and came across a condition called derealization, or depersonalization. but I also get migraine headaches, and was wondering if maybe those could be signs of epilepsy...

please, if someone knows more about any of my problems, please help...

i often feel dizzy, lightheaded and have just blamed it on being hungry or panic attacks. im skinny and lately have noticed i have lost weight for no reason, im down to 45kgs (im a teenager) i usually am around 50, it always changes though.

is this normal? i have had general blood tests done at the start of the year but the doctor never contacted me back so im assuming everything is fine. is it possible they could have missed something because it was just a general blood test?

Like most human I was wondering about immortality. How could a Man live forever? What is the meaning of being alive and being dead? A person dies when his brain stops getting Oxygen? The Blood takes oxygen to the Brain, if the heart stops, no blood supply to the brain? So hence no oxygen and the person dies when the brain dies.

But can it be possible than when a person is nearing death, That his brain/whole head be removed or separated and put into a Robot? The function of this Robot to supply all the essentials such as Oxygen, Hormones. So if the brain can be kept alive long after the body, organs, heart has failed then maybe humans can live for more than there unaltered natural lifespan. Maybe a Cyborg with a human brain and the rest of the body an artificial Robot. So my question to you would be: What does the brain need to keep it functioning forever? Can the brain be kept alive with artificial external machines? Has it been tried or researched? Thanks for your time.

Im 16. I was diagnosed with gastritis back in February. I know what gastritis is and all, But I still feel sick. It stopped for a week and then it comes back. Ive missed so much school because of it (I think school is the main reason why im sick). My doctor first prescribed me tagamint. It work for a week or so but then it would come back. Then my doctor prescribed me Zantac. It made me feel alittle better but then started making me sicker that I was so I stopped taking it.
I started getting the symptoms again on tuesday. I feel like crap. I thought it was a virus but I dont have a temp and a virus wouldnt have lasted so long. I've losted 15 pounds within the last two months cause I dont feel like eating. My mom keeps asking if i want to go back to the doctor or hospital. But I dont wanna go back cause im tired of them doing xrays, blood work, and ultra sounds and just tell me oh its gastris.
Is there any methods that anyone can tell me that will help me get better?

A student entered a chemistry class to take a final examination. After seeing the questions on the exam he had a panic attack. He started to breathe very rapidly and felt he could not get enough air. Soon thereafter he started to feel faint and he got a tingling sensation in his neck. What effect his hyperventilation have on the pH of his blood? Can you suggest a possible quick remedy for his condition? And what is the equation involved?

I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and treated with levothroid. A lot of my symptoms disapeared but i use to weight 145 and ballooned up 10lbs in a month. I havn't been eating a huge amount and normally i don't gain that much in a month so it's worrying me that my meds are being counterproductive when it comes to my metabolism. Can thyroid meds actually make you gain and does it go away after months or the medicine adjusted?
