I am going off to college this fall and I have a phobia about germs and "guck" touching my body especially while I am in the shower. I was wondering if anyone could inform me of an outstanding product or idea to clean up and disinfect a college shower stall. I really don't want to be standing in someone elses body guck! Help!

I sprained my ankle about a month and a half ago, it isn't healing and i keep going over on it. The hospitals and doctors are offering no help, just keep sending me in for more xrays trying to find a fracture, which there is none. I've stretched the ligaments in my ankle and do not have the time to let it heal fully as I'm working daily. I'm wondering if anyone has some excercises that that they've used to help give their ankles strength again after bad injuries. I could lose my job if I don't figure something out to be able to walk without randomly have my ankle give out. Thanks.

My husband had been addicted to perocet and fentynol suckers. He went to rehab and detoxed but left before his treatment was over. The same day he got home, he went to the same doc that gave him the meds and got on Methadone. He didn't tell his doc that he had went to rehab and detoxed off of it. He has since started going back to previous behaviors, lying, hiding things, etc. I have suggested that he go back into treatment but he got very angry. Is it usual for someone that has detoxed off of narcotics to go right to using Methadone? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

In Jan. 2005, I was in a head-on collision deemed the fault of the other driver. They have $20,000 injury insurance and my medical bills to date total slightly more than that. I have until Jan. 21, 2007 to settle or file a lawsuit. I am still in pain after several months of physical therapy and one surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. I've had all kinds of tests done, and the only thing anyone can come up with is TOS. The surgery fixed the tingling on the side I had done, but now my hand gets cold and my shoulder and neck hurt when I use them a lot or stand for any longer than 15-20 minutes. I don't want to do the other side because the side I had done has some adverse side effects. Is the pain ever going to go away? What's my next step? Do I talk to more doctors or do I accept that I may hurt forever? Is future pain worth anything in a lawsuit? Is it worth hiring a lawyer or should I try to negotiate a settlement myself? Anyone have good results with alternative medicine?

She will sometimes go for months without it occuring and sometimes it will happen a few times in a week. the doctors cannot figure it out (it is not an allergic reaction) anyone have any ideas for a remedy? I told her that she should use preperation h cream on 'em to stop the itching and reduce the swelling =D it's all i can think of!

Hi! Question...I have fingertips that everynow and then start to peel. I put lotion on my hands at least once a day to try and prevent it, but it is still happening. I'm becoming kind of worried. I decided to up my iron intake yesterday, thinking that might help. Any idea what may be causing this? Thanks ahead of time!!!

Everytime I eat potato chips, I always get a small cut on the corner of my mouth. I'm not sick or anything, but it seems like evertime I eat chips, probably more than the usual serving, I get a small little cut on the corner of my mouth.

Is it from the salt in the chips, they are pretty salty.
