I woke up with swollen lips last Friday morning. I believed that it was an allergic reaction from taking two different sinus medication the evening before.

However, I thought they would be fine the next day, but it's Wednesday and they haven't gotten any better. I wake up in the morning and they're crusted over, swollen to twice their size, and burning. I have used five different lip balms: Vaseline lip therapy, Carmex, Blistex medicated lip ointment, Lip Vitamins, and a prescription lip ointment called Zovirax.

I saw a doctor yesterday, but she didn't know what to tell me. She just said to stop using everything but the Vaseline and to take Benedryl. But this isn't helping. I can't kiss my fiancee, it hurts to open my mouth to eat; I can't even go five minutes without applying some kind of balm. I'm just miserable, and getting desperate. It's finals week, so that doesn't help, either.

Can anyone help me, PLEASE?

I know that vomiting would result to Metabolic Alkalosis since its gastric content is out, but I have read in the pocket RN Notes that if the condition becomes SEVERE (vomiting,) it would result now to Metabolic Acidosis but there is no rationale provided.

My problem is not so much insomnia, but the fact that no matter when I go to sleep, no matter how sleep deprived I am, no matter what sleeping pill I might take my body is the most alert about 11PM and wants to sleep at 4-6 AM and wake up in the afternoon around 2PM Its not that I need more than 8 or 9 hours of sleep. It's more like my body is hard-wired to those times. I've tried melatonin, I've tried ambien, I've tried rozerem. While the ambien works, its short term and addictive. Even with the ambien I still find myself wanting to sleep until about 2 PM if I don't have plans the next day. What is wrong with body? Is there something off with my circadian rhythms? Why doesn't my body feel tired at dark and awake when it's light out like everyone else?

I've asked this similiar question recently and need to make my self more clear. My husband is getting help for a cocaine addiction. But when he's used in the past it would go all night. He says he was in his office snorting lines all night. He wouldn't come home til 6am. I could have easily checked on him (office is very close to home) but never chose to. I either I didn't want to know or didn't give a .. My question is... is it possible that an addict could seclude themselves for hours doing this without contact to the real world? Yeah he was on line doing who knows what. And yes I'll most likely leave..real soon. But this is something I just need to know. He claims he's never cheated. The only reason I've believed this in the past is because he looks horrible after a binge i wonder who the hell would want to be with that. I'll give more info if it helps in answering my question. Thanks for any help-Lauren

about 2 weeks ago i got a stye in my left eye which is quite unusual for me because ive never gotten any since maybe i was a child. anyways, i didnt think much of it, it went away after like a week. so then like 3 days ago another came up on my right eye this time. i keep putting hot rags to it to try and make it pop or whatever faster.
anyways what i was wondering is, do you think i should go to the doctor over it? i dont really know too much about styes since i never get any until now

thanks for your answers!

Usually later in the night, I will be laying in bed and my eyes are watering. My husband has noticed a few times and will ask what is wrong or why I am I crying? I am not crying of course. What causes this to happen?

Most times when I realise I need to urinate I get a sharp pain in my right side below my rib and I sometimes wake up with a bad cramp like feeling where my kidneys are and in my back? What could this be? I've been tested for std's, thrush and I'm all clear? I had a water sample and she gave me kidney infection tablets just incase,I took them and it stopped for a while but it's back again? What could it be?
I barely ever drink alcohol and I drink plenty of water? It doesn't burn when I urinate and I don't seem to have other symptoms yet. I'm also on the combined contraceptive pill and sometimes amitriptyline (sleeping pill).
Any ideas?

They called me today to tell me that my blood had shown some abnormality in my liver. What can be happening to me? Is there something wrong or is it just a misunderstanding. I do not smoke or drink but i do drink a lot of soda. Might that be it? I am scheduled for an abdominal sonogram on Tuesday the 15th.
