General Health Care - February 2007

I did a search on a medication and all these sites came up saying that they can deliver medicine to you door. Are these legal or are they trying to bust people who are attempting to obtain meds without a script? What gives?

If so what? I've bee sat talking to my boyfriend and nothing hes said has made sense (we chat on msn) I feel cinfused and wierd, like it was all a dream, the words jumbled up and my hands got sweaty, they were burning , felt like they were on fire, yet to touch were cold and sweaty. Now i keep having hot and cold flushes all over my body, and still feel as though i'm in a dream right now. Its wierd and quite scarey. I wanted to tell my boyfriend how i was feeling, but i didnt want him to think i was making excuses as to why i'd been wierd. I worry sometimes he thinks i'm using not feeling well as a get out. Since new year i havnt been well you see, ive just been diagnosed with I.B.S thankfully....feeling quite alone right now, sorry to go on.

I have been having these dull pains on my right side. It is below my ribcage on my right side. I just recently started having these pains, and don't know what they are. If it is serious does it require surgery. I am a 16 year old female if that makes a difference.

Suppose you have trouble sleeping at night, you go to the medicine cabnet and pull out a bottle of sleeping pille. The next morning you throw up, diarrhea, tired, migraines, and you aren't aloud to drive till noon. Would it in your opinion be worth all of that happening just to get a good nights sleep?!?!

Please be honest because this is for my science fair project..


Thank You In Advance!

Also, what do you think is the average age that kids now-a-days get drunk. Because my daughter has been constantly going to parties, and I ca't help but wonder if 15 year olds would have "drunk" parties.

Ok my fingers keep on going numb and turn purplish even when I am indoors, especially my pinky finger and sometimes my thumb. Though I am thin about 95 lbs for being 15 and I know you are shocked by how thin I am. Could this just be circulation problems? And what can I do to warm them up?

I've been really sedentary during the last month, sitting at my computer for many, MANY house (even when I should be sleeping). I sit in lots of positions, including with 1 or both legs folded under me... or propped up, lol. The past week or so I've noticed that my left knee (probably the one that's usually twisted?) is cracking every time I kneel down, and when I flex the leg out straight, it's painful. Did I injure it somehow just from sitting for long periods of time?

This is scaring me though, because I've been checked for lupus before (tests came out "borderline," and later "negative"). Could it be related to that? Or am I just getting old? (If it matters, I'm 28 and of normal / slender weight.) Anything I can do to strengthen / calm the knee at this point?

Thanks in advance... I appreciate any help.

I have severe menstrual cramps, that are so painful that I cannot leave my bed for 2-3 days.

I've taken various anti-inflammatory drugs for this pain, including OTC Advil (Ibuprofen),Midol (acetaminophen),and Asprin.None of these drugs relieved my pain even by 1%. I have also taken OTC Tylenol 1 (8mg codeine), but I suspect that I am allergic to that drug.

When I approached my doctor about it, I got put on perscription anti-inflammatory drugs: Anaprox, and then later, Ponstan. Neither of these drugs provided the slightest bit of relief for me. In fact, they were just as innefective as the OTC variety.

I don't want to elaborate, but birth control pills are not an option, and neither is visiting a gynecologist.

I would like to approach my physician about the idea of taking a different class of drugs, that is to say, a legitimate painkiller. However, I know doctors are reluctant to prescribe such medication, and wonder if I should even bother to try. Do I have a reasonable chance?

So, I have bad breath. I eat a mint. 20mins later, its gone. Bad breath again. Another mint. 20mins later, its gone. The cycle continues. When would one stop this nonsense? What if you are on a date? You cant keep popping in mints. Are there alternative solutions to bad breath? (I have brushed well and have scrapped my tongue. Note: I tend to have bad breath when my mouth is try and the side of my lips have some gunky-ish stuff, sometimes white). Is a mint or gum better? Any recommendations?

My toe got smushed really bad tuesday,, and my toe nail is blue... like bruised and stuff. Well they told me I had to either get a needle and poke through it to get all that blood out, or go to the doctor and have them do it. But, what if I dont get the blood out? What if I just wait until the nail falls off without sticking a needle in there. Will it get infected & theyll have to cut off my toe or will nothing happen. Please be 100% sure when answering this question.

I fell off my bike about five months ago, initally I was fine but a month later I had severe pain radiating down my arm and found it difficult to move. I had a ultra scan and this revealed that I had fractured my collar bone and that I had a lump of calcium within the shoulder joint. I began physio and have just completed hydrotherapy. A month ago the pain just stoppen but since last thursday it has come back big time and I am struggling to cope with very limited movement. I am waiting for a new Physio appointment. I have a tens machine and that helps a bit but find it difficult to take pain relief due stomach problems. Please can anyone suggest something that I can do to ease this pain and get my arm moving again. It is impeding nearly everything I do

Since i was a child - am 33 now - I have suffered from headaches nearly every day as well as migraines every month or so.
As a child Dr did send me for a x-ray and obviously showed nothing. I wear glasses/contact lenses and have reg eye checks. Headaches very much frontal lobe/forehead area and often very specific in area.
Have tried relaxation and also not taking pain killers in case they aggrevate them also does not appear to food related (though I admit having a very bad head after a few drinks!!).
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

yesterday was a really bad day. it was a bad day because i was tring to help my dad take christmas lights down and i was on the roof and i fell off and i had to be brought to the hospital by an ambulance because i was unconcious. when i go to the hospital the doctors took a ct scan of my left knee and the found out that i tore my acl. and i am scheduled to have surgery in two weeks. doctors come into my room every day and press on my abdomen just to rule out any abdominal injuries as i go along. they do this because when the accident happended i fell off of the roof on my knee and my stomach. as you know i am still in the hospital, and the doctor that came into my room this afternoon (around 3:45) was pressing on my stomach, and when the doctor pressed on the left side i swear to god it hurt like hell and the same thing happended when the doctor pressed on the right side. what do you think this could be. the doctors have to wait on an x ray till tonight.
