General Health Care - October 2006

I'm new to the "bed tan" and coming back from the Bahamas with a nice tan after my first vacation paid under my own way. I wanted to keep the tan(I feel better about myself since not being so damn pale). My avg tan time is about 14-15 minutes, three times a week. I've never used any of that special lotion that is for sale in the salons. On my shoulders I'm finding what look like "flat" blisters(it isn't acne). I don't know how else to explain them but I know I'm not THE ONLY one that's had this happen so I'm hoping for some kind of answer/s to help me out.

Are they just harmless looking blisters?

Will using some kind of lotion with E in it help?

11 tyenol and 6 aspirin in a 24 hour period To help ease pain ...

After taking the last tyenol about 20 minutes ago he had bad pains in his stomach...although it has eased now...

what could have caused the pains? could it have been to much medicine? He says he's feeling better now...but should we be concerned?

I asked my doctor to prescribe suppositories for pain. She didn’t know about it. I also asked at the pharmacy, nobody know what I mean. Where can I find suppositories for pain? Did anybody use this medication? I asked at a Tylenol web side. They wrote that they don’t have such suppositories.

I wrote to a pharmacy manufacturer:

When I have my period I always used a suppository for pain (ingredients: 10 mg N-Butylscopolaminiumbromid, 800 mg Paracetamol ) in Germany. I can not understand why I can't find this important medication in the USA. On my first period day I have abdominal pain and stomach ache cramps. When I take a Naproxen tablet, I have to vomit, so the medication can not help. I ask my doctor about suppository for pain. She didn't know about it and prescribed Phenadoz suppositories for vomiting. I would rather use pain medication without swallowing anything. Do you have any medication like this? If not, it would be necessary to create a new one!

Hello. I smashed my finger at work today and was curious about how I can get out grease and engine oil. I've always had a problem with getting out the grease from my under my fingernails, so I'm not sure what would work. I usually use Go-Jo for my hands, but it requires a lot of rubbing to get it to acually work.

I tore about an eighth of the nail at the tip on my thumb. There's also a cut going into my thumb. When I open the cut, I can use grease, but I can't get it out! Will this cause an infection? I've been pouring alcoholevery two minutes to kill the germs, but I'm afraid of the grease being in there.

I am assuming that is what it is. My eye was feeling irritated, so I looked around at my eyelids and discovered that there is a little tiny dark bump on my lower eyelid. It is just left of centre, but not on my lash line. You have to turn my lower lid inside out a bit to see it. Would this be a sty? What causes them? How do you get rid of them?

Yesterday at school while i was playing volleyball, i grabbed the jersey of a teammate while he was running and it pulled my ring finger out and it was injured somehow. I went to the hospital and they put a splint on my finger and said i had damage to the tendons in my finger and refered me to a orthopedic doctor. turns out he's does'nt take our insurence. After some reaserch, i found out i had suffered Jersey Finger, where my FDP tendon was severed from the bone. At first i wasn't sure but them i saw a picture of the FDP tendon and it was right under the last digit of the ring finger, exactly where my finger is bruised plus,just like jersey finger, i can't close my fist completly and my ring fingers last joint won bend. To make it wrse i found out surgery within 7 days is rucial to avoid permenent injury, but the doctors they refferd me to wont take my insurence. Please Help,What should i do?
