Every year that i run cross country i get a blue/purple blister under my toenail. Last year the blister went away, but this year the nail is about to fall off. When it falls off will it bleed? How long will it take to grow back? Basketball season is about to start up, what should i do to protect it and prevent this from happening again?

It contains B1 B6 and B12. There are 5 rounds 4 days apart. I have had two doctors tell me two different things. I asked this question in the pregnancy section and no one answered!

I'm otherwise perfect, with just this one little vice which I would dearly like to lose.

I know it's bad to sleep on your stomach, but why? I have been sleeping on my stomach almost every night because that's the only way I can fall asleep. Just recently I have tried sleeping on my side...I'll fall asleep sometimes but I won't others.

While clearing brush yesterday I distrurbed what appeared to be a beehive. Needless to say it's inhabitants were unhappy, aggressive even. I was stung repeatedly by what looked like bees, but left no stingers, and I'm pretty sure one of them stung me more than once. I think they were some kind of wasps. Either way I got stung just between and above the eyes leaving my face quite swollen. I tried various home remedies, ice, onion, toothpaste, baking soda and vinegar, but nothing seems to help. My eyes are swollen nearly shut, and I look pretty funny, but other than that I feel fine. Does anyone know how I can bring the swelling down so I can recover my normal vision and go out and enjoy this nice Sunday afternoon?

Last year came accross an RTA on the M/Way whilst travelling to a duty,Triaged patients and one was crittical.A charity frontline ambulance pulled up as we thought to assist,My partner and I asked them to transport patient to hosp with one of us attending as they were only first aiders.We were told by them that they could not do this as thier duty did not start till 1800hrs,incident time was 1745hrs, NHS ambulance arrived on scene at 1810hrs and that crew were dissapointed with the reaction of the charity crews refusal of help,So does that mean in todays sue culture that if a charity ambulance attends an incident they will not help because their duty period has not started,Sorry to go on but it gets me angry that this particular patient got to hopital over one hour after initial injury.This was a true incident,ex paramedic.

It's been a long time since I have been able to sleep over 2 or 3 hours at a time. It seems I cannot relax enough to sleep well, very often waking up feeling afraid for some reason. I won't take pills to sleep, so please don't even suggest that. What else can I do? Anyone?

I know the muscle contracts and relaxes (gets longer). I just don't know if (in the arm) when your (let's say biceps) contract, does your arm move outwards or towards you? Thanks in advance!
