Howdy! I'm having a serious problem with healing...for example: a small cat scratch on my hand will take over two weeks to fully heal. I know most people would heal from it in less than 24 hours. Also, I don't feel as rested as I should after sleeping. And I sleep enough, over 9 hours on average.

I didn't always use to be like this. In fact, I used to heal exceptionally quickly. Any help, info, or anything at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Spouse and 14 year old are susceptible to migraines. Really don't want to go prescription route. Have recently read that magnesium can help prevent migraines. Multi Vitamin has 100 mg Magnesium (doseage 1 pill), Calcium Citrate + with Vit. D claims to have Magnesium Stearate (doseage 2 pills), Vitamin C claims to have Magnesium Stearate (doseage 1 pill) . Read that Magnesium Stearate is supposed to be a synthetic salt manufacturers use in making vitamins. They like to eat some of the foods that contain magnesium but not every day. Maybe they're not taking enough Magnesium. Should they also take a Magnesium Supplement as well? If so how many more mg should they take? Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

If you cut yourself, and the cut begins to heal, does it itch? And Why does it itch?

My 2 year old fell on hardwood flooring and landed on his lip. There was bleeding and it did swell. After two days the swelling went down and it remained red. On the third day a blister covered the portion of the lip that was hurt and later that day it opened up and started bleeding. Over the next two days when I would wipe his mouth after eating it would bleed again. On the sixth day there was no more blood and it apeared to be looking better but today, the seventh day, his lip is very purple and looks worse. Should I be worried or was this just a really hard fall? He's banged his lip (and other such body parts) but none of those bruises have lasted a week or looked worse after a week. PLEASE NO RUDE COMMENTS!

I damaged my right index finger when I was 9 years old and now I am 36. The nail has never grown right. A doctor told me years ago about a pill but she said it could make the nail grow upright. Any advice would be appreciated!!

There is a $10.00 coupon out there but my doctor's office does not have any. I REALLY NEED ONE!!!

P.S. This is the new prescription that helps you quit smoking.

I am not pregnant. Had my tubes tied 2 years ago. No fever. No strain. Just sitting and talking when I suddenly felt intense, sharp pain in my belly button. It is not pierced. It lasted 2 minutes and was gone but now the area is tender.

I have chronic shoulder pain in my right shoulder, near the rotator cuff. Nothing is torn so no surgery is required, but there is constant low-grade pain whenever I put the least amount of stress on it. I recently started weight training, and am doing fairly heavy weights... This activity has neither helped nor worsened the condition so far, but the pain is starting to limit my progress in the gym. Should I consider cortisone shots?

I've tried a couple different brands but they seemed really thick. They moved on my eyes and it was irriating, so they didn't work out. Also I found the prescription wasn't quite strong enough either. I would like to find some good multi-day contacts since they are supposed to be more breathable. I work in front of a computer all day, so breathability would be nice. I'd take them out every night though to give my eyes a break.

sometimes when I wake up in the morning and go to step on my right leg I feel a lot of pain. I cant seem to put any weight on it. Once I am up for about 5 minutes it is ok. any comments
