Son fractured C5, is now a quadraplegic. Can walk with difficulty but lost use of right arm and fine motor skills. I've stayed with him since the accident (June 18/06). I took a leave of absence from work and its been 6 months now. If i return to work i have to pay someone to drive him to appointments and stay in the house and prepare meals etc. any monies i earn will be paid out to person. If i stay home i dont earn anything. Unemployment insurance only lasts 6 months and then no income. I'm scared and dont know what to do. I was supposed to get attendant care but i dont trust the lawyer and my husband doesnt want to change law firms because he says they're all the same and i believe him. I'd prefer to stay home because he now is developing nightmare and behaviours. He's going through his stages of grief, etc. his friends are supportive but its still difficult for him. He's 15. anyone has similar experiences? how did you deal with it? what should i look into?

Because I am doing my body a favour and throwing away the cigs, I can not stop thinking about them! I have been a smoker half my life, the only time I have ever stopped, was when I was pregnant with my son, four months after his birth, I took it up again. I only smoke outside, away from the house.

I can't just lie there when I go to bed and wait to fall asleep. I am in the habit of reading any old rubbish I can find until I drop the book with tiredness. What do you do. Nothing rude please.

I got my blood drawn about two weeks ago. Right after that I noticed my veins were really red and seemed to be popping out. It's no longer red, but a large part of my arm is bruised and it hurts a lot. It seems to be spreading to larger areas rather than getting better. What is wrong??? I'm really worried :( And what should I do?

I work out four times a week and get good sleep. I just can't seem to make it the entire day without feeling like I'm gonna fall asleep.

My boyfriend has been experiencing a strange tingling on the out side of his left foot, on the edge (Not the ball nor the top of the foot) between his pinky toe and the side of the heel. He has had severe back problems with bulged discs at L3-L4 and L4-L5. He has had a previous surgery on L4-L5. It's keeping him awake at night! We have been using Anbesol which seems to work but he needs to reapply it throughout the night. Any ideas?
Thanks everyone!

I was making some basic back excercises (includes abdomenal muscle contractions).
link: http://www.back.com/video.html?filename=exercise-hamstring

I didn't do much excercise for quite some time now, and also went almost straight to this excercise, no warm ups.

Afterwards, I felt so unpleasant feeling inside, like I don't know, approaching vomitting/ air blocking, a kind of termole in my stomach & some dizzy ness.

What a hell could this mean?

My girlfriend has been known to get stuffy nose for months at a time. The last time she went to 3 different doctors. Finally, it was cured by a $7 bottle of "4Way Fast Acting" nasal spray from our local mini-mart. This time, it's been a week and so far nothing has worked, including the nose spray, Rx Diphenhydramine 50mg (which is essentially Benadryl), hot showers, theraputic tea, and constantly blowing nose. She has allergies, but we haven't been able to identify a trigger anywhere. She just wants to breath through her nose to get to sleep. Any ideas?

I often get a really stiff neck, and a pain that goes all the way down from my neck to the bottom of my shoulder blade, it feels like a tight string so I am assuming it is muscular pain. I hurt my back in a riding accident, my head snapped back and all the top vertebrae got crushed together. This happened several years ago but I have never fully recovered from it. The result is that I also get pain in my backbone between my shoulder blades. I think it is possible the 2 are connected, since one of my shoulders now hangs lower than the other as I ripped all the tendons in my neck.

What I would like to know, is how I can strengthen all the muscles in my back, neck and shoulders to make them even again, as I think this would help. (I can't afford to go to a physio, or I would).

Any suggestions on how to do this or any other ideas much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
