I have been diagnosed with hemorrhoids. I am on fiber and stool softeners and the bleeding is pretty much gone. the first problem is i still feel iritation down there and the ointments etc. only make it more irritated. the second and more annoying problem is that after i use #2 i get these weird cramps. they go on for hours. it feels like i am trying to squeeze out a fart or something. it is weird. my Doc seems to only be an expert at taking my money and he says my hemorrhoids are not that bad so i am wondering if anyone every had a similar situation.

hi, my name is Ali, I am nineteen years old.My mother's name is Parveen Begum. My mom is suffering, but i cannot afford to pay for her medical expenses.She has pain, in her lower back, i have gotten her checked in a clinic, but the doctors recommend to get a ultrasound. The doctor did a blood test, and said the blood report was O.K, but they recommend her to get an ultrasound, that she might have God forgive, some problem in her Gallbladder. I am located in Ontario, California. She has a green card, thats all. She doesn't speak english, and is a housewife. Where can i get her some medical help, may be at a very low cost? pllzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help :(

I need some ideas for a disease a character could have in a story. He's a male in his mid-30's in generally good health who is tall and on the slim side. He has a demanding job and is a work-a-holic and is sleep deprived, so he drinks lots of caffeinated beverages. I'm thinking it could be something that is caused or aggravated by this and stress. It could start to manifest itself slowly, and he would ignore the initial symptoms and continue working, but would have to cause a severe enough problem that he'd have to be hospitalized.

Hey. I just have this really random question. So your brain kinda shuts off and rests while you're asleep. Then how do you breath at night? Because if you're brains like turned off then how can you still keep breathing?

Molly, my out of control cat bit me several times as I was trying to stop her from chewing up my books. It's red. It has like welt spots, sort of like ant bites surrounding the actual bites. And there are scratches. I cleaned it up, and put neosporin on it because I have no hydrogen peroxide. But it's still bleeding a little. I also have no bandages. I guess you can say, I have no first aid kit! My question is how do I treat the cuts? And also, I have no car so I am unable to get tenanus shot over the next two days until someone can take me.

It's a dangerous chemical that is used in pesticides, but now is being used in foods. Nearly all of the Earth's oceans and resevoirs contain this deadly chemical. Thousands of people die every year from an overdose of di-hydrogen monoxide and millions suffer from it's other effects(exesive urination and sweating, and occasionally vomiting). This chemical is also found in nearly all carbonated beverages and juices. Something needs to be done about this deadly chemical.
