This just started this month while I was laying in bed one morning, my ear started ringing really loudly... I thought it would stop, which it did later on, but it comes back and is a little longe lasting each time. Now I can hear it and it's pretty loud compared to the ringing sensations I used to get. I can still hear fine, and it's not worrying me too much, but does anyone know what this? Also I don't do concerts or anything that often and I dont think my music in my car is too loud. HELP!

Here is the story. Recently my Grandmother was very ill and her chances were not good (fortunately she has turned around and is getting much better). My Mother, myself and the great grandchildren are in California and my Grandmother is in Pennsylvania, travel was not an option at the time. I called the hospital and asked the nurse and subsequently the superviser if it would be possilble to have a PC in her room with a net connection so we could connect via yahoo or msn messenger on webcam so she could see us. Hospitals have lots of PCs and someone has to have the skills to perform such a simple hook up. The idea was flatly shot down. Was I out of line to expect a lil cooperation and compassion in this situation. I would like some feedback, particularly from those in the medical field, IDEALY from someone in medical administration. This should be a service offered by hospitals in my opinion. Thank you

I'm not looking for theories or studies etc. Eighty-seven-year-old grandma fell, and fractured her femur. Has had internal fixation. Hoping for nice diagrammatic instructions to help family to care and help her learn to walk and everything again. Yes, she has been seen by a physiotherapist. But I think extra written info would be good too - aid in comprehension and assimilation and all that.... Also welcome any other useful tips...

I know this is asked a lot but I don't care.

The problem is that my drug test is on Tuesday and I cannot get to any store to buy some Niacin. I have started taking B12 pills because they have niacin and they will keep my piss clear even after all the water I've been chugging.

I would like to take Niacin but because of Christmas, I doubt I'll be able to get any. Maybe Walgreen's?

My friend told me to take a q-tip, bend it so the ends touch, dip it in bleach, put it in a plastic bag and put it in my panties, then piss onto the q-tip then swirl it around in the piss as well. He did this like a month ago for his job and he passed. He also said drink bleach with milk... so his credibility in my eyes isn't really all that strong.

Don't answer if you're going to a) lecture me, b) tell me drinkning water won't help, because it does, or c) talk about your smoking stories because I haven't smoked in like... 4 days.... :(

i was experimenting with bondage in my sexual activity. i was suspended from the ceiling, standing on my tip-toes. the rope felt tight but i went along with it. after 20 minutes of this my left hand fell asleep and it hasn't gotten better. it's been 4 days and i don't know if i should be concerned. i've never experimented with this kind of thing before. i'm ashamed to go to the doctor. it's a tingling sensation that starts right above the wrist bone and moves downward to the nerve inbetween my thumb and forefinger. anyone got any advice? help!
