My mum has days where she cant move due to her body becoming stiff. She has a electro pack attached to her back to help stimulate the muscles but this does not help all the time. Is there any treatments for it?

I am giving up smoking on Monday. Does anyone know which are the best patches to use as I can't go completely cold turkey!!! Anyone had any experience of using patches or any advice/tips on helping me to give up?? The main thing I am worried about is gaining weight!
Thanks

whenever i move my neck around or sideways, there is always that clicking sound. probably it's because of my age (69). But is there a way to get rid of it?

Okay I am having the weirdest set of off the wall symptoms and I'm not sure if it's several small things that I don't need to worrie about or something more that I do
I can't get enough to eat or drink, and have been eating everything in site for about a week now but not gaining a lb., every now and then it feels like I'm coming down with the flu or something but it passes in a couple of hours, I can't get to sleep at night and once I do get to sleep i am harder than usual to wake up but I have the strangest dreams ever. Or I will get really sleepy really all of a sudden
If know from the past that my body uses large amounts of sodium and idione which I have learnt to deal with but the usual method is not working with these I get dizzy, there is a loud ringing in my ears and I just feel weird like my heart is racing
I don't know if there is something wrong with me or what the deal is I'm really not one to go to the dr unless I have to. any ideas on what's going on? PLEASE HELP

I was in my back yard the other day with tennis shoes. I did not notice any ants or anything but there were a lot of mosquitos. I came inside and about an hour later noticed that my toe hurt. I took off my shoe and sock and my toe was red like something bit me. There was a raised area but I could not see a bite mark. My toe is still pretty red but only hurts to the touch like when a press it or my shoe rubs on it. I have been putting neosporin on it. I just don't know what could have bit me. I have had ant bites before but they just look more like a pimple. This raised area has no head. I have been havine a problem with fleas. We used advantage on the cats but they keep getting fleas and the bites have been causing the cats to have an allergic reaction. I wonder if that is what bit me. I checked my shoe after I found the bite for a spider but did not find anything. Any ideas?

Yesterday my cat/s scratched and bit me badly while I was bathing them (they messed in the carrier). Today I feel dizzy and like I'm tripping a little, I can't concentrate well, and I fell all weird in the head, esp when I talk. I am allergic to pennicilin, and I'm not supposed to take most? any? antibiotics (due to candidemia/invasive candidiasis/fungemia). Any idea what I should do? My husbands doctor told him, his wounds were badly infected or something?, and could've been fatal, and that he should've gone to the ER imediately yesterday. He is now on many huge antibiotic "horsepills", but I have no idea what to do, and I feel so bad =(

It was at wrestling practice today, somebody put me in a cradle (for practice) and when i tried to get out, he spun. This made my arm bend back all crazy and now extending my arm hurts.

I can get it to like a 80 degree angle, just not not anymore without pain. I have a match tommarow and have made a doctors appointment, but what else can i do?

This match tomorrow is important and i have got to attend, what could at least numb my elbow enough to stop the pain?

I have been wearing glasses for about 20 years now because when I looked at words far away they were blurry and blended together, about 6 months ago my eyes started feeling really tense when I wore my glasses, I thought maybe they were not strong enough so I got a new stronger prescription, that made it worse, my friend said to try going back to my other prescription and I did and it did make them feel better for a while, but even they started making my eyes feel tense so I started not wearing them at all for short periods of time and I noticed my eyes felt so much better when I had my glasses off so I have been keeping them off longer, even reading words from far away is better, they are not as blurry anymore, they are still a little wavy but I can read them, Can your eyes get better on their own over time? And even though they feel better am I hurting them more by not wearing the glasses.
