They said they have to check to see if I'm physically fit to have a massage. I have to go to a consultation before I can even set up the appointment. First off, is that legit, or will the consultation just be a sales pitch? Secondly, will it be worth it? I think it's just a back massage, not full-body.

Ok I used a new razor and I cut myself a good one this time and It won't stop bleeding. I put a wrap and stuff on it and that did stop it but once I took it off the layer that clotted came off and it started again.

Is there anything that I can do. Buy something to make it stop because that is something that stiches won't fix?

The medicine's expiration month is July, and the expiration year is 2005.

I've been taking it to lower my fever.

I took it at 7 am, and again at 1:30 pm. At 7, my temperature was 100.6°F, and at 1:30, it was 100.9°F.

My stepfather said it should work still, and that he'll only buy more if he finds a place that has it on sale.

thanx for all your responses, So If I were to go smoke just one sometime today even if I didnt inhale would my chances for addiction become increased? or will it be worse? Or what is the chance of smoking just being something that I do that gets me turned on?

I have been experiencing lack of circulation in my right thumb and index finger this morning. It happened first when I was in bed and I thought it was due to my hands being place above my head. It happened once again while I was typing on the computer. When it regained it's usual, it just happend all at once.
I have been doing a lot of yard work and my hands are much stronger than they have been from the work. Tendons appear thicker and stronger.

results; if you had undergone this before or know someone who has, what suggestions do you have to help the injured out? It really sucks because my bro loves to engage in athletic activities when not at work, and so he'll be sidelined for awhile. Tips on foods, drinks, any therapeutic exercises, etc. are welcome.

I have a broken foot, with no insurance. The Dr. did not put me in a cast, he put me in a little aircast thing and told me it was mostly a bad sprain. And he did not even show me my x-rays???
