I recently heard that WD40 can benefit people when rubbed into painful and stiff joints, particularly those with arthritis. Despite the fact that it is a spirit based material, greasy, smelly and possibly toxic to the skin, this fact is apparently well supported. Has anybody heard this fascinating piece of trivia? Has anyone heard of anyone benefitting in this way or indeed has anyone actually benefitted themselves? I have tried to find patients who have had success here but haven't heard a squeak from any of them ..... ( joke ) .... seriously, anyone got anything to say in support of this?

I remember hearing something like this, that smokers feel colder than non-smokers, something about that "it thins your blood" or something, I'm not 100% sure.

Does anyone know? Anyone have any scientific details to go along with that? Blood getting thinner sounds a bit strange to me anyhow, would more water add to the blood or something? Sounds silly.

Or is this whole thing just a "wive's tale"?

i was diagnosed with osgood-schlatter's in my left knee when i was 13, stemming from gymnastics. they said it would go away in a few years or when i hit puberty, but now i'm 22 and it still hasnt' gone away. i stopped doing competitive gymnastics long ago, but the problem keeps getting worse.

this is not a mild case; you can see the bump in my knee from a few feet away it's so big. and it hurts all the time. i have a desk job and if i don't stretch my legs out every hour or so i'm in excrutiating pain. also, i had to stop running because that hurt it as well. i'm a very active person, so not being able to exercise like this is really bothering me.

i went to my family doctor, but he said there was nothing that could be done about it and i was pretty much stuck with it. he said i should switch to swimming if i want to stay in shape, but i don't have access to a pool.

does anyone else have the same problem? does it ever go away? can you get surgery? what helps with the pain?

I just started taking Lyrica to treat my Fibro. I've taken only 3 75mg doses so far (150 twice a day) and I feel kinda weird. A little dizzy and just kinda out of it. I know this sounds strange but hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about! What I would like to know is: is this normal? will it go away eventually? and have you had good results with Lyrica?
Thank you in advance!

I have SEVERE muscle spasms in almost every muscle in my body. I cannot wear shirts with collars because the muscles are so tight in my shoulders and neck, any pressure on them make me dizzy. I have tried a chriopractor, but after each visit, the dizziness and pain was unbearable, same thing with physical therapy. I get so dizzy after they work on my muscles, I can't even walk around without holding on to the wall. I dont know what is causing this, or where to go. Does anyone know the technical term for the doc that handles muscles? Thanks

Here is the article that I found on the net....

Generic vs. name brand Prozac

Posted By: Cheryl S.
Date: Thursday, 14 October 2004, at 1:15 p.m.

For those who are wondering...

I asked my OB/GYN (an M.D., not a pharmacist) about differences in effectiveness when the generic for Prozac had been out for a while. I, like many others, was curious since the price was significantly lower. He told me that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should I ever take the generic, as he had patients that ended up attempting suicide (one succeeded) after switching from the name brand. The generic just did not work. He told me that if the pharmacist ever tried to give me generic, to state loudly (so the whole store could hear) that "my doctor told me the generic can kill you." He was ADAMANT about the differences between the drugs. I have taken the name brand Prozac for 9 years (it has worked wonderfully) and I will not risk the possible repercussions that generic might bring. No amount of money is worth taking that risk. Hope this sheds some light on the subject.

Here's the story. 2 weeks ago i randomly threw up and had chills. that night i had a high fever of about 102, sweated out my sheets for three nights. i had a sore throat, swollen glands, nausea and a persistent headache and chills so i went to the clinic. the nurse swabbed me for strep, told me it came back negative but that they would culture it and let me know if it was positive later... no phone call (assuming it was negative) my boyfriend gets sick a few days later with similar symptoms and he gets tested for strep and its positive. several other people around me including my little sister, two coworkers and three friends have similar symptoms yet everyone gets rid of their illness within a few days. two weeks have gone by and i have only gotten worse!
-swollen lymph nodes
-weight loss
-vomiting
-chills
-dry cough and sneezing
-runny and stufffy nose
-fatigue
-stiff neck
-headache, nausea
-frequent vomiting
-shakiness (hypoglycemia probably)

PLEASE HELP! It's been 2 weeks of this!

I've had conditions in the past regarding my stomach and the pain I feel, real deep pain in my gut for about 5 to 7 seconds and then it goes away. The doctor on base here suggested Aciphex but that doesn't seem to help anymore. I do not wanna go to the doctor and go through all these tests like blood drawn, x-ray on stomach, stool sample, its just too much and I feel their doing it to maximize their incomes and business. Please someone give me some ideas as to what I should take or if someone else has gone through these problems I'd love to hear from you, Sincerely; Mike in Kuwait

They say there's already a cure for AIDS/HIV, but it's being kept hush-hush because they feel it would encourage more people (especially teens like me) to have unprotected sex without fear of any type of consequence and that a cure might contribute to overpopulation as millions upon millions of people who would have died, will now live. What do you think?
