General Health Care - September 2006

it is our problem. i mean when they tell us that they drink cause of us. cause they think they are in love with us and we dont want to be with them sort of like a controlling factor. will it help us with our feeling we are in bondage or quilty cause of their drinking. i mean all the emotional abuse that they put us through will it help with that? and also the physical abuse for all the years even though that stopped and it became mental abuse? will it help with that? and if so where can i get to one? and man why havent i known about this resource years ago i went through over 11yrs of physical to emotional to mental abuse the physical stopped when i put him in jail then the emotional rollerercoaster to mental torment. he maybe changing ,but i believe i have been damaged. well he tries not to drink when around me. he doesnt live with me, but when i take our son over there to him and his mom, who he stays with then he tries not to.i try to be nice so he wont give them hell. i am tired.

Hey guys- I have strep throat, and I also have mono right now. I haven't gone to the doc yet for the strep throat (I've had it for three-four days maybe) I'll be going mondy. But anyways... I'm currently taking Zoloft, Seroquel, an acne medication and Focalin. If they put me on something for strep throat (excluding pennesylin, sulfa- i'm allergic) Do you think that it will react/ or what do you suggest?

Thank you

I never have had any problems with headaches in the past and for the last few days, I have had them every single day. i take pain medicine but it does nothing for me. Ive been eating and sleeping well. The pain is mostly by my temples and behind my eyes. Any ideas of what could be causing this?

I cut my finger tip (actually, the finger pad--the part with the fingerprint) three days ago. The cut was very deep, and I got 4 stitches--an internal one to stop the bleeding and three external ones. I just took the bandage off, washed the cut, and applied neosporin and new bandaids as directed. I noticed as I was applying the neosporin, I couldn't feel the top half of my finger. Should I be concerned about nerve damage? I never had stitches before (and I've never cut my finger this deeply) so I don't know if this numb feeling I'm experiencing around the cut is normal or not. I'm going to call my dr, but I just wanted to learn about other ppl's experiences...

I have had back pains for a little over a year now. I have not visited any doctors because i never took it serious. I used to get lower back pains every week or so, for a few hours a day. Now, (for the past 2-3 weeks) i seem to get back pains every day i go to work. Once i do any moderate/heavy lifting it seems to set it off and the rest of the night i get pains even when i slightly bend over. i sat down in a flight deck pilots seat last tuesday and it felt like two of my vertebrates compacted hard. is there anything i can do for this or is my only option to go to a doctor? I worry they will pull me off the flight line and stick me with a desk job, or worse, kick me out of the military. I am only 22 years old and would like to keep going to school for free through them so i dont want to get kicked out.

For that matter, anybody use sunscreen most of the time and still got cancer? Just because industry pushes it doesn't mean they're entirely forthright. I'm looking more for experiences and scientific facts. Everyone believes that just because companies (even doctors say something, it must be right.
Mostly, this is a cosmetic question

I'm a late boomer and only like 5'2". I'm expected to grow maybe 10 more inches. How much sleep do I need to make sure I get those inches. I drink lots of milk and eat lots of cereal. I often have fool dinners. Eat school lunch, but I have to leave the house at like 6:30 for school so I miss breakfast.
