I was making pancakes and when I tried to flip it, grease splashed my face. I'm using antibiotic cream and calendula. My burns are blistering, which means 2nd degree burn, but they stopped hurting about 1hr after the incedent so they can't be too bad. So what kind of burn do I have??? Also, how can I speed up the healing process? I have weird looking brown blotches and oozing blisters on my face!

After a really bad exerience where I really felt that the whole society had let me down, I had decided not to be organ donor for my license renewal.
Decency is hard to kill do today when I renewed my licence, I did decide to be an organ donor but I asked if I could specify who can or cannot get my organs and they said, 'no'.
I would not want a drunk who has fried his God given liver to get mine - even if he is a movie star or a country singer.
Similarly I would not want Drunks, Junkies, dead-beat fathers, Drug-dealers, Terrorists, Rapists, Pedofiles or Welfare Parasites -and of course trial attornies to get any of my organs...I don't care which race, sex, or nationality or ethnicity the recipient is - just not a degenerate!
Should I not have a choice given by law to decide who should or should not get MY ORGANs after I die?

I haven't been sick all winter/spring, and I'm starting to feel it in my throat. However, this is the worst week for me to be sick and my voice change. Is there some sort of preventative medicine?

So since yesterday evening i've been having a lot of pain in my abdomen area - from about my navel down to just past my hip-bones, but not in my groin itself.

Last night it was so bad that I actually woke up several times in the night and woke up at 5am this morning. It's not cripplingly painful, but it's noticeable, and generally sharp, stabbing pains or suchlike. About an hour and a half after I got up it localised to my right side where my appendix is, and I thought it might be appendicitis, but like I said, the pain isn't killing me or anything, and I think appendicitis would be more severe. It really doesn't seem worth the trip into the city to go to the emergency department!

Last night I found it most painful to lay on either of my sides. Standing up still seems to be least painful.

The pain is more specific in my right side, but I am still having pain all across my lower tummy, kinda like bad gas, but I’d think if it were just gas it would have gone by now?

A meal plan would be great, cos I noticed that I am only get bowel movements after I drink grapefruit juice or medicine. I don't think that is healthy. I would like some diet that would enable regular bowel movements. I drink a lot of water so I ease myself a lot sometimes I get gas but that is as far as it goes, I always need something to aid me if I want bowel movements like grapefruit (ther juice) cos I eat grapefruits and its roughages or medicine. I do not feel consipated but I just feel it should be regular since I eat everyday.

my daughter had her wisdom teeth removed, she was prescribed vicodin but wants to take Advil first to see if it is strong enough, if it is not, can she safely take the vicodin (which contains aceteminophen) before the advil is worn off?

The back of my knee as been hurting for about 5 months now, when I sit for more than a hour or riding in a car when I wake up in the morning it kills me, I have been taking 500mg of glucsamine that also has 400mg of chondroitin 2x a day and I also take 600mg of IB Profen 5-6 times a day I know the IB is not good for me but its the only thing that helps when I stand it does not hurt nor when I walk, run work on the car or the yad I have no problems but the pain of sitting KILLS me. if I miss a dose of the IB it will hurt so bad for hours I usally have to take to doses to keep the pain down, not swelling as far as I can tell. I know I should go to the doctor but I can not afford it nor do I have Ins. what can I do I am up for anything.

PLEASE HELP

This has been going on for a while now where I can't sleep through the whole night. I can only breathe through one nostril at a time, and I went to the doctor and got some nasal spray that helps a little bit for the most part I still have trouble breathing through my nose.

For the past couple months I've been waking up 1-3 times a night with dry mouth and lips. I guess its because I open my mouth at night. Is there any way for me to train my body to breathe through my nose?

Another thing is that I never really feel like I get into a deep sleep. Even when I'm dreaming I feel like I'm half alseep, half awake, and I usually wake up during a dream.
