General Health Care - January 2007

I woke up yesterday morning around 10am (after getting about 8 hours of sleep) and had an EXCRUCIATING headache...I stayed up for about two hours, ate something (hoping it would help), then took a shower (hoping it would help)...then went back to bed for a couple of hours because the headache just kept getting worse. When I woke up from my nap my headache was SLIGHTLY better, but still hurt a LOT. I stayed up for about another 3 hours or so (most of that spent in a dark room with my head resting on something), I took an advil migraine, an airbornes, drank tons of water and then I went back to bed and slept until 1am today. I drank tons of water, went to the bathroom then went back to bed (AGAIN!!). I woke up again around 6amish....I had to go to work so I got up and got ready...my head didn't hurt too badly right away. When I got to work it started getting a little worse...and now not even 3 hours later my head is just POUNDING again!! It is all over my head, making me nauseous, etc...

My sister is 11 years old, and recently she has been feeling very ill and different. She has been getting headaches almost everyday, stomach aches, diarrhea, crying a lot, and she has this feeling where it feels like she can't get enough oxygen. She does not have a fever, and it is not the flu or a cold.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what this could be?
Hormones changing? a condition? a disease? anything?

I got a new job and switched Health insurance. A few weeks into my new job I had an appendectomy, and the Health insurance company is stating I "maxed out" for the year, which leaves me with a $4900 bill. Is there any why I can keep from paying the excess amount?

I have a heel spur. when i wake up in the morning i cannot properly walk and cannot rest my heel on ground. Gradually after a few minutes it becomes less painful.
I have had a checkup earlier to which the doctor says thats normal and gave me medicine (brufen). he also suggested me some excercise but it doesn't help at all! also gave me a supportive gel to keep in my shoe but all invain!

The other day I was in the shower and I was rinsing out my hair and got really dizzy and light headed. I closed my eyes and I kinda like blacked out. I had to get out of the shower and lay on my floor for about 5 minutes until I felt better. Does anyone know why?

I am 15 years old and about 2 years ago I started cracking my wrists. I feel no pain or anything like that. But after I stopped cracking them, they crack more easily now than before I started cracking them. For example, simply moving them side to side seems to crack them. This might be a problem for me as I might start Wing Chun which is a martial art that involves alot of weird wrist movements. I don't want to hear cracking constantly.

Is there a way to get rid of the cracking noise? I think it's the ligaments or something that crack because unlike bubbles I can crack them many times without delay. Also, would exercising my wrists and grip with things like powerball(that cool ball which is hard to hold) or those things which you squeeze to strengthen your grip reduce this cracking?

ps Don't bother saying that cracking causes arthiritis, as there is no evidence to suggest that
