I'm just a kid, but i've studied into this and i think i have this problem... something to do with the stools not being activated for a while because my colon is stretched? The only help i get is eating Mexican in helping with stool softener, I definetly need something that will get me on track to maintain healthy digestion habits. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I do exercise, eat fruits, and drink mostly water...

A very general answer for this question is to maintain sterility. But what exactly is the technical reason behind the positive air pressure? And how does it help maintain sterility?

I quit smoking and haven't touched a drink for a couple of weeks, I see these little black flashes out of the corner of my eye and freak.
I almost got into a car accident because I thought I saw a centipede on the driverside window. Is it psychological, or an effect on the eyes?

I have tried everything from, chiropractor, stretching exercises, sleeping with a brace, buying special orthodics, new good shoes and nothing has helped. Dr. say's I have very high insteps which makes it more difficult to cure. I live with terrible pain "everyday!" Has anyone been in my shoes???? if so, PLEASE tell me what you did!!!
Thanks.....

I teach dance class (generic) and I was alerted this evening about a boy who has Antreverted HIps ( not sure on the spelling) - or as the mother described, the hip joints are backwards, sort of like hip displasia in dogs. Can any one tell me about this. I need to know so that I do not aggrevate the condition.

I've had a headache for three days. It comes and goes, but it's a mostly constant presence. It tends to linger behind my eyes or at my temples, but today, it's been moving into my neck, too. It's making me just a teeny bit cranky and on edge, which is not fun to deal with when you're hosting a Labor Day gathering. Nobody DARED ask for second helpings of potato salad, lest they encounter my headache-glare of death.

Have any of you ever had this happen, and if so, did you go to the doctor? What did they prescribe/conclude? I plan on going to the doctor this week just to make sure that I'm not dying from brain cancer or anything, but I just wanted to get a heads up on what might be wrong.
