I have strep throat right now. I began feeling sick on Sat. night. How long is it before you stop being contagious (currently on 2nd day of antibiotics)? Also, can it worsen before it gets better? Anything else you think I should know?

*thanks!

ok so I've been getting nosebleeds on and off for about 3-4 days now. On one day I even had 5 nosebleeds and each time I manage to stop it, it comes back later in the day. How do I stop this permanently? Or whats wrong? I prefer if people who have had the same experience to answer this. And no I haven't been inhaling paint or markers or anything like that.

I go to the Veterans Hospital and dang, you can't understand them,and my child has one thru Tenncare and he is a Muslim.I'm worried they might kill my kid. I ain't worried for myself, I stay in to much pain. But it makes me sick a Veterans Hospital. Why can't they stay in their own countries and help their people,instead of coming here and feeding on us like leeches, taking our money.

There is a hard lump in the very center of the bruise. Is this normal, or should I have someone check it out?

I sprained my ankle about 5 months ago and tore all the ligiments. It was pretty severe. I use to be extremely active, but i am still not able to run or even put my foot flat on the ground with out pain. I have been going to physical therapy on a weekly basis for 2 months and it doesn't seem to be getting better. Has anyone seriously sprained an ankle and not been healed to the point where they can not run,walk long distances or even put their foot falt on the ground 5 months later? if so, any suggestions? Please only answer if you have a helpful response. thanks

I am still having cravings and from what I've been told they will never go away. I find smoking to be a social thing for me. I don't smoke in my house, so I really enjoy going to my friends with a coffee and sitting there and smoking. I really think I should start again.
Please don't say "don't you have done so good!" It is all I hear and it is a little patronizing. I know that 3 weeks is a long time and I know it is better for my health not to smoke, but I really enjoy it! I don't do anything else that is bad for me, and these days even refilling your water bottle can give you a disease!!!!!! Maybe I am just venting??!!

I had mouth and chin cramps. When I opened and stretched my mouth, I had a cramp there. Did anyone had those one time? What was the relief for it?

I read an article recently that said you could get help with sleep disorders by blowing on a certain musical instrument daily. It has a strangest name: baglavia, bockologa, or somthing. Does any one know what I'm talking about? Thanks.

Why is it when I bend down and stand back up I get light headed as if I'm going to faint. This doesn't happen all the time, only sometimes. Do any of you ever experience this? Why does this happen?

I'd really like to be more of a "morning person," but I can't seem to get my butt moving in the morning. Also, I can't ever seem to fall asleep before midnight, even if I take sleeping pills. Is there a way to change my ways?? I am open to all helpful suggestions. Thank you!

Over the past few months I have been retaining a lot of water and there's no obvious explanation. My clothes are all too tight and it never goes away. My eating habits have not changed at all!
