I have the beginning of an ingrown toenail. It's starting to make the toe swell a bit, but it's not painful yet. Is there any way to prevent going into the doctor for this?

I just had my first epidural steroid injection about 31 hours ago. It was necessary to relieve inflammation in my sciatic region. It was a fine experience but what I would like to know is do some people report having mood swings as a result of the steroids in their system? It is the weekend and I have left messages to my doctors. I'd like any of your personal experiences, or expertise. I thank you all in advance.

I think it's disgusting if you sit on toilet seats. Other people are sitting on them also, and basically, you're sharing the stuff on your butt skin with them. That's just asking for an infection.

Some people put toilet paper on the seats. Waste of paper, I say.

I squat when I go on the toilet. As well as keeping my butt free from other people's butts, it's better for the legs too. Also, it makes me finish quicker, because it puts some strain on my legs.

Why do people still sit on toilet seats when it's obvious that they're sharing the touch with someone else? It just isn't healthy

My stomach has been bothering me for quite a while (past couple years)...mostly nausia and trouble eating. Recently it's gotten worse. I've had to cut my food intake down dramatically. The only foods that I can seem to handle are cream cheese bagels, pb & j sandwich, and milk. I've lost so much weight and my husband thinks I'm crazy. I get really light headed and dizzy (for the past year or so) and I have no energy. I've always attributed not feeling well to either being pregnant or breastfeeding, but now I'm thinking that there is really something wrong. Also, If i eat anytime after about 6pm then I wake up shortly after I fall asleep sick to my stomach. I have a dr. apt coming up, but does anybody know what it could be to give me some kind of heads up?

I've done it too many times to count, but one in particular: I removed the guard screen from a fan and tried to put it back on while it was ON... the screen slipped down when I was trying to fit it in the clip that held it on, and in my attempt to keep the thing from falling, my thumb was almost lopped off by the fanblades.
Yeah... thats a Darwin award waiting to happen...

But anyways.. I'm trying to come up with saftey topics, and I need some good examples.

They took an MRI and it showed up, then they refferred her to a Neuro Surgeon. The surgeon said that it could be nothing, but she constantly have headaches. The surgeon suggesting another MRI. The size of it is about 2.5cm*.0125cm. the report said it is some sort of Mestasis or fluid, the radiologist could not determine what it really was but reccomended enhancements or removal.

Serious answers please!

My husband draws SSDI and I was wondering what qualifies a spouse (me) to be able to draw SSI. What if the spouse (me) works? They say something about if your under a certain limit you may qualify. Does anybody know what this limit is? Or maybe a good website to all this questions I have.
