General Health Care - September 2006

About twice a week I wake up out of a dead sleep with a horribly painful cramp in my right calf. It only happens in my right calf and a few weeks ago the pain lasted for 2 days and I was limping on it. Have you ever gotten these and is there anything I can do to stop them?

I have had neck pain for over one week now. It started as a stiff neck and now is just a constant pain when I turn my head. It hurts even when I don't turn my head. What makes it worse is using the computer and using the phone. Unfortunately, my job requires I use both. Ibuprofen and rubs don't provide much relief. What can I do? This is unbearable.

I have been cutting back on caffeine for the past two weeks. I drink about 1-2 times a week instead of every day, multiple times a day like I used to. This includes soda and coffee. I know that I get caffeine withdrawal headaches, but now I've been getting them every day, for the past two weeks on the days that I don't have any caffeine. What can I do??

I have tricare prime, if anyone knows what that is, and was wondering if they will pay for my ambulance ride I took last week. I filed all my paperwork, but I got a notice that the total cost was a little over $700, before being filed with the insurance company. Will my insurance company cover all of it? I just wanted to know ahead of time, if anyone did. I will probably call tricare later today, but I thought I'd ask you guys here for now.

Ouch. I don't believe I'm allergic. I got stung through my glove and this is one of the most painful stings I have gotten. My hand is pretty puffed up and I've read just to ice it. Any other proven ideas appreciated.

We all have had colds/flu in our house now for over a week and we are not getting much better.
Has anyone used those 2 products or anything like them with ANY success?
(I am not sure that I spelled them correctly...)

I thought I had just slept on my arm wrong. I am going to probably go to a doctor cause its been for about a week. Just wondering if you know what it could be. a little under by shoulder and sometimes where my elbow joins hurts. pain like if my bone was being hit. it hurts a lot but not always. also its mostly when i go to sleep-during the night, and when i just wake up.

to make matters worse, my mouth is so dry, i feel terrible, i am on diflofenac sodium, co codamol, and co amoxiclav, could one of these be responsible for the dryness? it is really intense.

I have wanted to give blood for some time now, I just hate the thought of a needle going into my vein.

I know I can give blood because as far as I know I have nothing wrong with me, and I am only 20.

As far as I am aware I have never even had a blood test. Anyone got any ideas on how to gain my confidence?

For the past 24 hours I've felt like I've been burning up, causing me to take my temperature. I thought it would be higher than 98.6 degrees, but to my surprise it was 3 degrees lower. Because I have a bad headache and felt ill, I went to bed early last night hoping to feel better, only to realize that my temperature is still lower than normal. Should I be concerned at this point?

Ive just spent a week in a NHS hospital and it was horrible, although the doctors and nurses were good the hospital was dark and gloomy, had shabby curtains and chipped and broken fittings, and not all that clean either, i feel better in health but the place depressed me.
Has anybody else had the same experience ?.
