My lower legs are both aching very badly. They have gotten so bad today. I can hardly walk. When I feel my leg with my hand, I can feel lumps. What do you think it could be?

Yesterday I met a person (at the workplace), who smelled so bad, that I just left the room.

What if one day your bf meets you and this story happens with you? Your opinion?

I'm going to be as detailed about this as possible, and if you can give me any educated suggestions on what to do, I'll be very grateful. Here goes:

Back in my late junior high school years, I began taking ADD medication because, like you'd imagine, a doctor diagnosed me with it. The problem is that no matter what kind of medication I took, (and believe me, I've tried a lot) I wound up getting these awful headaches.

Fast-forward to today with many failed experiments later, and I'm still stuck trying to figure out what to do. What I do know is that these headaches are connected with the medication because it's usually a very distinct pain.

You're probably asking yourself why I wouldn't just stop taking it. Oh believe me, if I could I would, but it's neseccary for me to concentrate because I'll be going to college soon, and I can't do that without it.

So please, if anyone thinks they have a solution, I'm willing to try.

Lean back is not a good thing, I have swallowed a lot of blood...(I kinda like it) but seriously, I need to find a way to stop it.

It's weird. I can be a night owl, up until 4am comfortably reading, writing, or on the computer. But if I'm at work, closing the shop, I get so stupid about 5 or 6pm. I'm trying to decide if it is simply stress related (it is kind of crazy in that place by then) or if... well I don't know, maybe my sugar drops later in the day or something... Anyone else have that problem, or know of a medical condition that causes it, or maybe know of an herbal remedy for late afternoon stupidity?

Over many years I have been in the area where kids inhale helium from baloons. They do this because it changes the way they sound. I have warned them that doing so was dangerous. I was dicussing this with my son. I realised that I was advising without knowledge. Yes kids we sometime do that. So is it dangerous?

I recentley have switched to diet drinks to cut down on sugar because diabetes runs in my family. Does anyone know if they are just as bad for your teeth as regular sodas though? I also heard artificial sweetener(like splenda) tricks your body into thinking you ate sugar anyway? Can anyone tell me if this is true? If you can I'd appreciate it.

he fell off a rock cliff and broke his C4-5 and L1, 2 &3. We have been in ICU for two months now. I want him to go to rehab but we do not have the resources to pay. We hav ebeen aproved Medicaid from the state. But we have had an awful time just finding a place who will take it so that he gets agressive care. He has no chance at survival if he does not get the care that he deserves. He will give up.

I talk to him about the options and he listens somewhat. I do not want to run myself to death if he does not want this.

Anybody out there have a family member who was or is like this?

I would like some input about what is going on and how do i survive and cope with all that is going on.

I've been taking Keflex 3x a day for 5 days. It was only a five day round. The very last of today's 3 accidentally got dropped in the trash. I started digging around to find it & was just grossed out. I know it's not good to stop antibiotics early, but since it's only one, will I probably be okay? Or should I try to dig again tomorrow? (ew!)
