This is a serious question so please dont answer with a rude remark.

Lately my body has been acting weird.
I contantly have to go to the restroom (#2)
and Its pure LIQUID. It has been like this
for 4 months now and i have no health insurance.

I dont know what I should do.
I also pass gas and it smells worse than it ever has.

Is something wrong with my body?
anything I can do, without going to the doctor
(considering i have no health insurance)

It was itchy so I rubbed it. I think I might have rubbed it too hard. It's got like a mass of fluid around the iris (on the white part) and it feels as if there's something in it. Will it go away on its own?

I took a cheesegrater to my thigh with powerful vigor and now I am bleeding quite badly. With the lacerations I have received... what sort of medical stuff should I do to stop the bleed? wraps? The like? Well, I wont go to the hospital because they will know what I did to myself, but I just wanted to see what it would do to me. It's a cheesegrater, so I didnt think it would be a MEgrater... Please tell me what to do, OTHER than going to the hospital.

I went to a deftones concert last night and ever since then I haven't been able to hear. It was the first concert I've ever been to. I didn't realize how incredibly loud it was going to be. Everything sound is muffled. I'm sure it's only temporary but is there anything I can do to speed up the process of getting my hearing back.

Today at school, I was walking to my bus and I felt something bite me and it itched/stung. When I got to the bus I sat and looked at it and it looked like a mosquito bite. So I scratched till it didn't itch anymore and left it alone. It's like 10 now, and my ankle is swollen on that spot and it really hurts when I touch it or move my ankle. =[
I'm not allergic to anything.
What's happening?

My thumb started hurting yesterday (really sensitive) and this morning i woke up and i had a shooting pain in my thumb as well as my arm. It actually causes me to jerk my arm. i also get a numb tingly feeling in my thumb and arm. I dont work with my hands and i'm only 21 so i don't know what it could be. My 9 mo. old son is quite heavy and i always hold him with this arm, do you think that could be causing this? Any input appreciated!

My doctor is lowering my dosage on a capsulated medication. Is it possible for me to open the capsules, divide the medication into the appropriate dose, and then recapsulate it? I kinda don't want to have to buy more meds since I already have a bunch.

I don't understand why I hurt all the time. I have bad headaches every day, and my back hurts constantly. I've been to chiropractors, doctors, been on meds for depression. It's mostly in my head and back, but it is excruciating. I'm only 28 years old. I can't remember the last time I felt good. My doctor must think I am a hypochondriac, but I really feel so much pain all the time and something is wrong.

I am taking votes....
should I
1.) open the door so she can see me, and scream "Crap! we are not home" and slam the door in her face.
2.) open the door and scream, drop to the floor at the site of her and play dead?
3.) open the kitchen window, located right by the door, and run to my car, hop in and leave?
4.) open the door, and tape a pre-written letter to the outside of the door, slam to door in her face. (the prewritten letter would say, sorry we are having sex right now come back tomorrow afternoon)
5.) open the door and say "Honey, the wicked witch of the west is here, so either the house didn't kill her or she is back from the dead!"
6.) open the door and spray her with a fire extinguisher
7.) open the door and scream "honey, the devil is here"
8.) open the door and tell her "Sorry, we dont do charity" and slam the door
9.) open the door and say "Oh, I didnt know the circus was in town. Is that a real beard?"

For the past 5-6 weeks my joints have been very achey (fingers/hands, wrists, shoulders, upper vertebrae, tailbone area, knees, & ankles). Pretty much, everything hurts and I am feeling kind of fatigued, but have also been working a lot. IThe pain is not such excrutiating pain (probably about a 5-6 on a scale of 1-10 depending upon the day), but more off a dull pain or extreme discomfort. I often feel stiff, expecially after waking up or sitting for extended periods and having trouble getting comfortable. After sitting for extended periods it is hard for me to straighten my body right away. It seems to vary in intensity, but a lot of times my hands hurt most. I am a 26 year old slightly overweight (about 15-20 lbs) female who has never had any severe medical problems. Do you think that this is something that I should go to the doctor for, or are there any otc remedies that you know of? Have you ever experienced anything of the sort. Is there a "diagnosis?"
