My husband was in a car accident 6 years ago which left him with several herniated disks. He has headaches almost daily. He probably has 30 days a year without a headache at best.

I read an article about George Clooney how he had a neck injury. What happened was he had torn something in the neck causing fluids to hit his brain stem. What they did to fix this was put blood on the hole to clot it and stop the leaking to the brain. This story stood out because he said his headache was 100 times worse than migraine which is what my husband describes.

Why hasn't this been looked into in all the years he has been examined by several doctors in two states. No one mentioned this. How do I get him to see someone for it. He is disabled and money is really tight and we have no insurance and workers comp don't want to pay for crap. What can I possibly do to find out if this is the problem? If it is, it will be a quick fix, maybe they want to make money off him, I don't know.

It's really red and irritated. And I'm not sure what caused it to happen. I'm guessing it's from constantly washing my hands and the skin staying damp under my rings. But how to I get it to heal? I don't want to go without wearing my rings but it really hurts. What can I put on it?

I heard this on the People's Pharmacy Radio program, and those are the only references I can find to it. I tried this on a minor but painful burn on my fingertips and it really seemed to help.

I mean in terms of back support while sleeping. Is the mattress the only real important thing, or do the bedframe and/or box spring play a big role also?

Any help appreciated. I live in London, any dojo recommendations?

I went out last night and I was in a very smoky atmosphere, the effects paid off as this morning I woke up with my throat feeling dry, croaky and I feel choked for air every time I take a deep breath, and I keep coughing...

Does anyone know any pharmaceutical products that can help me when I wake up and feel like this, like an inhailer to help refresh my air passages and improve my respiratory or something?... *cough cough cough*

Answers are much appreciated, thanks for reading.

I am not taking the tablets any more. I started on them the week before Christmas and felt really, really sick, woke up with massive headaches. Since then, the doctor changed my drugs but I cannot seem to get eating again. Even over the holiday period I have lost weight. Sandwich one day, toast another, just can't get rid of this sicky feeling. Any advice welcome please....losing too much weight and feel drained.
