that itched really bad. The next day there were bruises around the bite. No swelling or blistering. Just a round bite the size of a dime with a bruise around it. What was that all about?

No, I'm not, but I wanted to illustrate a problem.

Why on Earth do some people post questions on here and waste time, when they are obviously very ill?

Just get to the doctor next time!

Have you seen these messages too?

Can anyone give me any success stories on dealing with IBS, without ruining my life? I tried an herbal remedy, which worked for a while, but now I am starting to have trouble again. It's very depressing, especially because we are a very busy family, and I never know when I will have an attack! Please only answer seriously, as I am depressed enough as it is, since I am only 34! Thanks.

While cleaning my bathroom I found a perscription for Tazodone in the cupboard. It had my roommates name on it and I put it back. She and I are usually tight, but she didn't say anything about this medication before and we tell each other everything!!! So I'm wondering what this is and what what it's used for. She said it's no big deal but if there is a way for me to help I would.

I woke up this morning with pain starting from my neck, down through my shoulders and ending on my upper arms. It is obviously the way I slept because I had a rough night and it doesn't happen very often. Is there any sort of movements I can do to help alleviate some pain?

Since the beginning of the year I have had a sore throat, glands keep going up and down, furry tongue, what look like blood blisters in the roof of my mouth and throat, ulcers and generally feel very unwell. I have been to the hospital after my GP had tried, mouthwashes, drops, anti-biotics etc but all the hospital have said is to try Difflam (mouthwash) and go back in September, I pointed out that this has been going on since early February and that I have tried mouthwashes that my GP prescribed but I don’t think the consultant was actually listening. (I have also tried a few alternative therapies but nothing is helping as of yet)
Any sensible thoughts on what is going on would be great, many thanks
