Went out to dinner tonight like 6 hours ago. Got a baked potato with my dinner. I thought it smelled kinda weird but thought it was just me. When I took a bite I thought it was weird..sorta funky..but still...thought I might be imagining it. I ate a few more bites and couldnt take it no more. Dad tried it and said it was something wrong with it. My tummy hurts a litttle bit. I guess Ill be fine right? Eating something bad will kinda wear off and ill just be a little sick?

I'll be spending 50+ hours outside in the heat for camp, and I was wondering if anyone knows of important nutrients for staying hydrated.

I get abdominal problems and brain fog and usually wind up with a headache or some problem several days after eating even a small amount of wheat. I'm finding I'm also sensitive to milk, vinegar, almost all oils. Is this still celiacs disease?

Alright last night I got overly loaded and ended up stepping on a beer bottle and slicing my foot open quite bad. I went to the hospital where I was given 6 stitches. As my foot was frozen after this I felt I was fine to go back out partying, walking on it all night. This morning when I got home I noticed that one of the stitches has came out, causing the wound to appear a little separated in one area. Should I return to the hospital and get another stitch, or from your experiences is this really nothing to worry about. I would really prefer not to go back, I'm not to fond about the whole stitching process. Also, does it hurt when you get the stitches taken out. Thanks a lot.

It's a feeling I can't exactly describe. it's almost as if you are in a dream-state, being chased by something and you can't escape. You walk around and go back to bed. When you open your eyes, the world becomes microscopic and then large, and back to small. Is this situation familiar to anyone? Are these hallucinations? It's a fascinating experience, which randomly and seldomly occured (most of the times during fevers) in my childhood.

I went with my mom to the ER the other day because my baby sister had a 100.6 fever and for babies under 2 months, that can be dangerous. While we were there, the doctor mentioned that it doesnt matter how high or low a fever is, it doesnt tell you how sick the patient is. Is this correct? It seems like it could be right..but then again, if you were 120 degrees, you'd be dead. Someone please explain this madness to me.

I have stopped this drug before, with no problem. This time, I get mean and have yelled at people. My skin is itchy. Also, and this question is a biggy...I looked all over the net and could not find info: I have chronic pain due to Rheumtoid Arthritis. It is usually manageble with pain meds. Now, I have been in screaming pain since the day after I stopped the Xanax. I can barely move and the meds don't touch it.
Thanks Mod

I just found it today under my left ear, about the spot where you check for a pulserate. I read that it could be a swollen gland, but I have not been ill nor feel anything coming on. It is about quarter size and is tender to the touch. Is this a gland or something serious? I am a realitively healthy 21 year old, and had a benign breast tumor removed three years ago. Thanks!!!
