state (without predjudice) if cigars are as harmful as cigarettes ???
I smoked cigarettes from about the age of 17years then for NO apparent reason I stopped my 15-20 a day habit at the age of 50 and didn't smoke for 3 years then took to smoking cigars. Although I really enjoy them I find I can take 'em or leave 'em at the age of 82.
Ha! Ha! I find the price more crippling than the smoke.

i had one that started this morning at 8ish and now its almost 6pm and it seems to be getting worse. i cant stand up or sit down without feeling faint and sharp pains above my eye. Ive taken 4 pills today for headaches. this is getting ridiculous. anyone else have this problem? is this something i should go to the doctor for? migraines seem so common, but they are so consistent and so painful.

I'm treating my ADD with Adderall. It works well, but i have a hard time sleeping. Maybe i'm not taking it early enough. What time of the day do you take it? How many times a day do you take it?
I take mine dosage once a day and its around 10:00 a.m. or later.

Any suggestions to help me sleep while on adderall? Like take it early way early in the morning?

My husband and I have a small construction company we opened this year with three employees. One employee was injured last month on the 16th of November. We took him to the ER, where they did x-rays and other tests and nothing was broken or fractured, just bruised. They told him to stay off his leg for the weekend, gave him some percoset and said see his regular DR on that Monday. He's sees the Dr on monday and he says he is still in pain, Dr detects no serious swelling or anything, said just bruised badly told him to stay off of a few more days. He asks for more pain meds and DR gives him a perscription for percoset. Well it has been over one month and he hasn't returned to work, but has returned to the DR complaining of pain still, and gets another scripit. On top of all this he goes out every weekend to the bars, but when he sees us he's limping around. This guy is my husband very good friend they have been friends since middle school but I think he is screwing us.

I dropped a 400lb rock on my foot, and now, two years later, my big toenail only partially grows. I have tried cutting it down and regrowing it, everything, but only half of it grows. I hate looking at it. Does anyone know how you can get a busted toenail to grow back?

Ok, this is an addition to another question I asked. The prfoblem was my real nail and the fake nails I had on both got almost ripped off but they are still attached at the very bottom. And since it hurted so much the night it happened I was just wrapping alcohol pads on it for bout an hour til my sister got home. When she got here it did not want to lift off, should I just wrap a bandage on it and let it heal in hope it will reattach and the fake nail will grow off??

6 months ago I got Carpal Tunnel on my wrists. When I first got CTS it was bad. I couldn’t brush my teeth without my wrist bothering me and the pain was going up to the my elbow. When I got CTS I started wearing a wrist brace with a splint and helped the pain. 2 months after I got CTS I saw a doctor and he said I was in the road to recovery and to continue wearing the wrist brace. After seeing the doctor my wrist were getting better, but if I lift anything or put any strain on my wrist (even if it’s minor) they start to bother me. I would like to know how long it will probably take for my wrist to get back to normal without having to worry about having CTS?

Thanks,
Mari

I have a bulging disk in the lower back, just found out that the bulge is right in the middle of the disk, which creates pain in the left and right butt cheek, a long with pain down the back of my right leg and numbness in the right foot. WCB is telling me that because the bulge is small that I should be experiencing no pain with it (trying to make it sound like I am making it up -- but that is their job). Does the size of the bulge matter on the pain factor ? I hurt it 6 months ago, have gone to the chiropractor, did 2 reconditioning programs, on pain meds, anti-inflammatories, and now am going to see the Neurosurgeon to see about the epidural steroid injection and/or surgery to fix it. But does the size of the bulge matter when it comes to pain ??

Is this a temporary thing? Or permanent? Anything I can do to stop this pain permanantly whenever I start jogging again? Does this mean I have bad knees and there is no stopping this pain whenever I work my legs?
