I think I damaged my ear drum with a cotton bud. It aches a little and can get painful when I listen to headphones. I may have an infection in my ear too. I have taken some ear antibiotic drops. I have taken calpol too. I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday. What should I do? Is their any rush for treatment?

involved in car crash 4 years ago, spent total of 7 weeks in hospital after and had chest drain inserted and told my pain would be kept to a minimum. it wasn't as halfway through the anasthetic could not work for some reason or other.had 8 broken ribs as well and pain was immense so i made a hell of a row. next day a nurse asked if it was me who made all the noise in A+E etc. said yes and she haughtily replied that an 80 year old woman had a chest drain and never made a noise. it has bothered me greatly ever since that i was a right wimp and it keeps coming into my mind and bothering me.

For some months my fingernails have been deteriorating. Several of them have cracked from top to bottom and then have peeled away from the crack. Also they have become ridged from top to bottom. They are not brittle. This problem is gradually spreading to the rest of my fingernails.
I never wear nail varnish and use masses of a good quality nail and hand cream every day.
I suspect this may be due to a mineral or vitamin deficioncy of some sort.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

No horrible replies please! I had lazer eye treatment on Friday 29 Dec and am still unable to see properly. Can anyone give me reassurance that it will get better and if you have had it, how long it took to see better. They told me 50% can see clearer within hours & 50% within days.

It's 5:30 A.M. and I can't sleep. My problem is not medical; more like I am just stressed about bills.

Does anyone have any tips for helping me to get some "shut-eye"?

I was in a bad car wreck 2 yrs ago and I received two major head injuries (concussion, skull fracture). After the car wreck my personality changed for the worse. I became mean cold hearted, and bitter. I was told by the doctor that this happened because of the head injuries

AS Im sitting here typing this my eyes are drooping and I keep knodding off but when I go up to bed, all I do is lay there with my eyes closed..my brain is still going 100 miles a minute...Im having full conversations with myself in my head (not out loud..Im not crazy...really, I swear!) while Im trying to sleep. Its been 2 days now and Im completely exausted.
A few weeks ago I fell and twisted my neck a little which caused me to have a severe headache for 5 days in which I didnt sleep. Ever since then, Ive had a really hard time sleeping normally.
Have you got any ideas?
