Someone I know is working, but her job doesn't include benefits. Can she get any help for this bill or is she saddled with paying it off which will take her a long time given her salary. (Florida)

I have a plugged ear and wondering if Glucosamine Chondroitin may cause it since that is the only thing that I have changed different in the last couple months. Only other thing I can think of is possibly a cold in it.

It started a couple of years ago, as the nail on my left thumb grows out, it splits at about the point where it separates from the thumb. I can trim the nail down to below the split, but it always comes back as the nail grows out. The split is always in the same place. I can see a small 'ridge' on the thumb below where it splits which seems to be a 'weak point' on the nail.

There is no pain, unless I snag it and it splits too much.

This is not a calcium problem. I love cheese and regularly eat yogert and milk.

On a final note, I heard a news report lately that split or discolored nails can indicated serious medical problems (such as kidney issues). However, since it is only one nail, and is so consistent, this seem unlikely.

I went to the hospital about a year ago with a heart attack and the doc prescribed me medication for high blood pressure and plavix. I had to return to the hospital a few months later with a kidney stone, The bill was very high and my insuarance paid it all except 1,100.00. I did not have the money to pay the rest of the bill and it came to the point the hospital was wanting thier money in a bad way and was calling every day. I wanted to pay so I made a deal with the lady that called to cut my prescriptions in order to pay it out monthly, now my doctor wants me to set another appointment so he can check me out and I cant tell him what I did because I know he will be mad. I have to pay the money or get turned over to a collection agency and they are worse than the hospital about dunning you for money. Should I tell the doctor or go on with may plan?

Im wondering. I was cleaning ma earrings when i pulled one off on accident. My ear looks the same just wit a hole. I tried to put it back in but it was hard at first to line it up right, so i felt my ear between my fingers. It feels like there is a ball between my skin like around the peircing. Im wondering if that is how a keloid starts or not..my ear hasnt swollen or anything at all just a lil pus which the doctor told me would be fine if i kept cleaning. So, does a keloid start inside the ear? I have trouble turnin them or nothing like that

Ok, went to the docs today, to be told I have a virus (glands like golfballs), anyone else got the virus, as he reckons the practice docs had seen 60 patients this morning, all with the virus!
Anyone else got it or is he exagerating?

I have a new job at the hospital Ive been working at and Im going to be on my feet for 12 hrs a day. I imagine my feet are going to be hurting by the end of my shift. Other than buying a good pair of comfortable shoes, does anyone have any other ideas or advice on how to keep the pain to a minimum?
