Is it bad to take Nyquil to get a high?
Is there any other safer ways? ( I know, there is no safe way)

So basically any ways to get high easily?

I was putting away my christmas boxes felt a sudden pain in the middle of my heal through my sock. There is a tiny small red blood mark in middle of the heel that almost feels like their was something in there I can't get out. I can walk on it, but it is painful. I am wondering if something just poked the surfaced because I can't imagine that something could easily get through the harder skin there. Plus I don't think I could walk without excrutiating pain unless it was very small.

Should I wait a few weeks before seeing a doctor?

I went and climbed a mountain back in October. Coming down I sprained my ankle but because I was so near the top, I had to "tough it out" because my Dad nor my two daughters were in any position to tote me down. I am still having ankle pain, especially when I lay down to sleep at night or crossing my feet when I sit. I can walk on it just fine except in high heels. What can I do at home to eleviate some of this pain?

well, today there was a 2 hour delay for school, and my parents had already gone and left when i got up before i knew about the delay, so i decided to go and take my dog on a walk, since i was all ready for school, and i had some extra time, so when i came back i dropped the leash to take my shoes off, but i slipped and my left wrist cought me and that was the only thing that hit the ground (my heels were barley on the floor) and so when my mom called to see if we were all ready for school, i told her about it (shes a nurse) and she said to ice it and see if it still hurts after school, so instead i took an ace bandage and wrapped it, now after school, my wrist still hurts just as much and no one is home besides my brothers, how do i know if my wrist is sprained or borken? do u know how to take the pain away without drugs?

just plain help, plz

i've been diagnosed with mono... about 2 weeks ago. my symptoms have been for about 3 1/2 weeks and they supposedly only last for 3-4. my doctor put me on steroids though, to keep the swelling down, so i dont know if i'm better or not. i'm worried though, because i was active before i came down with mono and i'm afraid that i'm going to lose all of my athletic ability by the time i get completely well. has anyone here had mono and when did you start exercising again?

I get a throbbing pain in the back left side of my head, usually after masturbating... at first the pain was there only a short period after masturbating , but now it's hurting longer. It's not a sharp pain, and I don't have tension in my neck or shoulders. I don't know what it is... I know it just starts hurting right when I'm about to orgasim... I thought maybe it was a one time thing... but when I tried again, it started hurting again so I've stopped

I have had injuries to my hamstring, calf, and illotibial band and they are all extremely tight. They are so tight that they are extremely hard to stretch without hurting my muscles more, thus making them even tighter. Anyone experienced this or no what I should do? Thanks.

I DO NOT SMOKE NOR HAVE I EVER SMOKED OR PUT ANY KIND OF CIGARETTE NEAR MY LIPS OR MOUTH.
I have used softlips & got a bad reaction to it & didn't know at first it was from it because I thought it was a cold sore & I kept on using the softlips or maybe it was an old outdated lipstick...doesn't really matter now because it happened & damaged my lips...see here in these pics what happened to my lips :((( :((

In the pics you can see around the lips are very dark & at the edges, dark spots formed...they look really nasty. :(
I have never really paid attention to them until just recently..I think they have been like that for almost 2 years.
I told my doctor & she prescribed Hydrocortisone..which I heard is a steroid and will only make it worse..so I stopped using it after just a few days.What can I do to make them back to normal again? Anything please?

I fell downthe staris in my building and broke, shatter my ankle. Was home with different cast for 6 mohts. After that I went to see the Workers Compemsation doctor and told hime that I could handle the pain with medications and patches.I was released from himand he told me to continue with my own doctor and my own insurace. However the case was never settle. The pain contiue to get worse and medications were making me feel dizzy and ended up with several block injections. This year in June the 9 screws and a plate that I had started to show and come out through the skin. I had to as Workers Comp for permission to get them out. It was totally necesdary. We ended up in Court , sugregry was approved. One week before the surgery a wheel chair faell right on my ankle ended up in the emergency room again. After the metal was taking out I went back for block injecctions. At this time my doctor told me that the inusrance was very upsedt since my case was never closed.

Hey i had an assessment yesterday and in the dress rehearsal on Tuesday i smacked it on the floor (couldnt do anything about it just had to carry on). It hurt but i didnt have any pain elsewhere. There are a few little cuts where i broke the skin and a tiny bit of bruising

Yesterday i was driving home from uni and got this sharp pain about half way between my wrist and my elbow. It keeps coming back today but doesnt hurt continuously.

I dont wanna particularly have to go to A&E because sitting there is seriously boring and its friday night so will be full of drunks!! yay!!!

Any ideas?
