I have terrible headaches almost every day, especially before the rain or during similar weather changes. Do I have any alternative instead of taking a lot of medicaments, for that purpose?

I keep having these horror dreams that are extreemly graphic and explicit in content. I dream of monsters and things that literally rip people appart. Usually I am hidding or trying to fight back. During these dreams I am not afraid at all but the graphic and brutal nature of them disturbs me somewhat. I must state that I am a normal guy with no wierd tendencies, in a long term loving relationship and am studying to be a teacher. I am normal. Please no answers saying I am a nutter. Something constructive please

Two years ago I damaged my lower back lifting a heavy item, I have never had a day since where I am not in pain, the pain is around the inward curve of my spine and is dull, when straightning up it gets much worse, my right leg down to the knee was also really painful at times.around once or twice a day.

About 9 months it became a lot worse and I find it difficult placing pressure on my right foot when walking, the pain is very sharp and comes from my right hip, along with sharp pains in right leg again only down to the knee.

I am in a lot of pain most of the time now, walking - standing bending you name it and most movements are very sore, dont even mention the stairs - I have an upstairs toilet

GP gave me voltarol & amytryptline - had physio (no use)
I am really at my wits end with it and getting down, even when I lie on the couch and relax at night it's sore, same with bed.

Can I force my local health authority to get me an MRI to see what is going on and get it fixed.

Hey for the past couple months I have been getting tingling sensations in my lower legs. Now it has spread to my upper arms. It feels kind of like when your leg falls asleep. Its annoying. When I sit down or lay down it starts but when I am standing up it doesnt bother me. Also I get cold really really easily. What the heck is going on with me?

What exactly does the compound do that makes it clear up the complexion. Does it increase estrogen levels (which promotes clearer skin)?

My girlfriend is very happy girl.She likes joy.She catched a medium-size alive grasshoper in the field.That grasshoper was happily jumping aroumd the field.We observed him.Immediately she told me:"look,what I will do now" and she put the grasshoper into her mouth, closed her mouth very slowly and swallowed the grasshoper alive and harmlessly.She put her hand on the buttom of her throat and it was gone . . . the grasshoper slided down her throat.She smiled and opened her mouth, it was empty.Then she put her hand on her tummy and told me with a smile that grasshoper is now here.Then she told me not to worry because she would easily digest it but I am afraid, isn't it dangerous?Will she really easily digest him?And second question; I also feel sorry for poor grasshoper she will die in a few minutes and should ask her to vomit him?She told me that if I will ask she will vomit him but I don't know what to do. 5-7 minutes passed after it so please explain and suggest something quickly please

Six weeks ago I fell from the 1st floor to the ground floor. I think i broke my ribs and I finger and my hip and foot were badly bruised and swollen. However, my foot is still painful and has started clicking when I walk on it and my ribs are still painful. I called my gp and he said that if I could breathe I was ok. Is it normal to have pain 6 weeks after an injury and what is causing my noisy foot?

My brother met with an accident 20 days back and both the Thigh bones were fractured. He is 29 yrs old. Doctors have put permananet rods. Doctors say that he will be able to walk normally and he will be on his own. Can any one give me some inputs, how his life will be affected because of this (as faf as his health is concerned)? Will people with this kind of fractures walk and work without much difficulty? Will it affect his sexual life?

Went for esopagogastnotuendoscpy. Tension in room. Confrontation with nurses. Drugged me and were asking me questions which had nothing to do with the procedure. Yelled at them to leave me alone. Had an IV in my right hand. Later she unhooked it so I could get dressed. She told me to hold the short tube, which was hooked to the needle in my hand, and put it through my shirt sleeve. She had a gauze pad and appeared to be pressing something into the tube with the gauze. She hooked the IV back up and let it run for about a minute. If she was only going to run it for a few seconds, she should have just taken it out before I got dressed. I became concerned and called the nursing supervisor. I also told her about how I was treated and the tension in the procedure room. She could not understand why the IV was not taken out before I got dressed. Three weeks later became very ill and I am still sick four months later. Lost most of hearing in one ear. Was I infected with something?

My mum had a stroke recently. She is immobile and dementiative from the hit. She is still on a feeding tube. Only my sis is available to care for her. But she is now pregnant. Nursing home is an idea I have right now. Not coz I like it but there is simply no one to care for my mum. Between getting a full time maid to care for her and a nursing home, I tot a home would be better. A maid would also be more expensive and I am currently financially constrained. But frankly, my heart bleeds thinking of my mum in a home rather than at her own home. And thinking of my dad without a companion who have been wth him for 40+ years makes me inhumane to say the least. Wat should I do?

I never used to get dizzy or have head aches but over the past few weeks I have been getting dizzy even while sitting or laying down. I am also getting head aches very often and may times when I feel dizzy a head ache is not far behind. I have also lost some of my appetite. My digestive system also seems to not be working very well.
