My girl-friend has high blood pressure and suffers chronic headaches, she has had pills but it causes her blood pressure to fluctuate too much...Is there anything we can do to help her, perhaps a diet or something?

Hey,
As of yesterday, I've been having symptoms of a cold that have been coming on quickly and today I am just feeling stuffy and gross. I take a vitamin everyday and yet I've read that calcium intake helps...? I dont know what to do, but if you have any helpful suggestions regarding ridding myself of this cold they'd be MUCH appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

The only way I can clean myself is by using water. If I use paper it starts itching. If it itches then when I run or walk it itches as well and it bothers a lot. Do I need to see a dermatologist. I have been cleaning with water for over 6 months and cant get back to using toillet paper.

I must have ate too much or waited too long to go to the bathroom, because I got a rectal fissure.

I've had one once or twice before, but this one is much worse. There is a lot of blood with every movement. There is enough blood to tint the toilet water. And there is a considerable amount of thick, mucously blood when I whipe.

The pain doesn't bother me, just the idea that this won't heal does. What can I do about this? Would fasting for a few days help?

Im a 25 year old male in excellent health with no other problems... What are some things I could do to speed up the healing process?

[please don't say "go to the doctor", I don't have health insurance]

On Tuesday I noticed my 12 week old daughters small toe was very swollen and red. On investigation I found that there appeared to be something very fine around her toe. I removed what appeared to be a fine white thread. I looked at the inside of her socks and found that the thread had come from them and there were numerous threads that could come away easily. The thread had wrapped around her toe and was compromising the circulation and caused the toe to swell 3 times its normal size. I took her to the doctors who sent her to Yorkhill sick kids hospital. She had to undergo surgery under a general anaesthetic to revive the circulation in her toe. Apparently this has happened before and the hospitals have policies on clothing they put on babies because of this. I am thinking about taking this further and have been doing various searches to find out guidelines on clothing and any cases of this before but cannot find anything. So I am asking if anyone can help with any ideas?

Im a alcohholic!! But iv not had a drink for 6yrs today & i dont mind admiting im very proud fo myself. Its not been easy no one said it would be but is well worth the efort coz life is so good sober. If you got a drink problem there is help out there but you got to ask for it talk to a friend or loved one & ask for help you have nothing to be ashamed of. I take one day at a time i didint need a drink today so i wont need one tomorow.. Life is so good sober.
