I have been having trouble breathing at night, especially when I am laying kind of flat. It helps a ton if I put a few pillows under my head. I have also been getting awful night sweats. I wake up in the middle of the night and my pillows and sheets are soaked through! It's a VERY cold sweat. It's like someone dumped a bucket of cold water over my upper body. Any ideas what may be going on? I have to see my Dr. on Wednesday, but this is getting out of control! Last night was the worst night with the sweating ever!

I am thinking about getting a nose job but I am very scared. I don't like needles, hospitals or anything medically related. It just grosses me out! But, I really do hate my nose and I always have so maybe it would be worth it. My husband says that my nose is fine and others tell me my nose is ok. But, I did have a boyfriend once that finally admitted after we broke up that "yes" I did have a very big nose. I have always been self concious about my nose. So, my question is: Have you had a nose job? How much did it cost? Did you like the results???

I received a letter from HealthNet stating that I have been approved for: Palivizumab-Rsv-Igm per 50 Mg. Does anyone know what this is? I'd rather not have to call them but I will if I need to. Thanks.

Ok so I hurt my pinky finger really bad by walking down the stairs and then jumping over the last step...I then hit it accidentally on a ledge by the wall while jumping. Anyways, that was about 4 months ago and the finger is not in pain always; but it will be in severe pain if it gets bumped or bent..(like if I were to try to crack my knuckles I think I would cry from the pain). It was never treated and I never took it to the doctor (no insurance for another month or so). But I have had a sprain before and all they did was splint my finger. I do not know if this is even a sprain or what it is, really. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Will the pain ever go away? It doesn't seem to be getting any better. Everytime it gets hit or bent the wrong way it hurts very much. I know I should take it to the doctor and I probably will soon but I really don't see what they could do about it. Any info would be nice! Thanks!

Have really bad sinus pain... upper right teeth hurt and I feel like ripping them out. Went to the doctors yesterday, got on an antibiotic. Been taking ibuprofen for the pain and it's just barely taking the edge off the pain. Got any other suggestions I can do other than bang my face against the wall?

Edit: got a dental xray to rule out abscessed tooth. :)
