My friend has this really gross hemmoroid (sp?). She says it hangs down like a punching bag and the doctor said all she can do is get surgery. I said I'd ask you guys! She said not to, but I'm doing it anyways! Haha. SO any advice on getting rid of the sucker???

i was by the doctor few times now, he told me i have depression illness, that always comes back in periods, the guy is totally right, i can remember myself as a kid who was so unhappy, alone without friends, not that the kids around me never liked me, they did contact were nice and so but it was my parents, especially my father who did not like it me to be with others, because he said he did not want me to take what he saw negative from my peers,
i accept now that i have depression, and i take lots of pills and drugs, but i donot know, how can i become happier, since the doctor have said it needs lots of time and years to heal something like this,
i donot live with my family anymore, and that for good,
i feel myself better since i moved out, and live in a different city, i would like to hear from people who had the same problem,

I wear my contacts for weeks at a time. I have experienced an increase in "floaters" over the past year or so. Is there a relationship, or just part of aging?

Would a cortisone shot help my elbows? I have had golfer's elbow (tendinidous) in one of them for over a year.

The swelling and itching is still there from the bite, but now the mastoid bone which sits beneath the bite is swollen and hurts a little. Is this serious enough to go to the doctor?

I tripped over a baby gate in my hallway and fell and all my weight landed on my arm/elbow. Within about 10 mins it swelled tremendously and was deep blue/purple and I would say the swelling was very fast (like flat to completely swollen in less than 2 minutes and like I had a lemon on the side of my elbow). Anyhow, after xrays I had no broken bones. But, after 2 days the bruise's blue spots started to lighten ( but still a dark blue/purple) and in the center of the bruise (it had been black/purple) instead of lightening to a yellowish color like I have seen in the past, it is becoming an even darker red. What would it look like if I had a clot form and what would the signs be? I was very sore after the fall like you would expect, but now I have had dizziness when bending over and feel better but still getting light headed walking around a bit?

For the past two weeks I have had a redness that extends from the inner corner of my eye to the outter edge of my iris. I went to the doctor a week ago and I was told it was probably just a bursted blood vessel and was sent home empty handed.

Since the doctor visit, the redness doesn't seem to be going away. It doesn't hurt, and it hasn't disrupted my vision (yet), but I can feel a consistant discomfort. I have no discharge coming from it, so I know it's not infected but the pink skin in the very corner of the eye is slightly swollen. I am wondering if I should go back to the doctor, or if there is home treatment that I can do to spead the healing process.

Also, how long does a bursted blood vessel usually take to heal?

Which one are you a runner or a stayer? I am a life long runner (yes I know I look an idiot running and flapping) but I have managed to live for 36 years without being stung by a bee or a wasp and I think this is the best thing to do, what do you think?
