Lost my job in December, but, wife works. She was on my insurance, and now she has none nor do I? I was treated for eye infection a year ago, but I had insurance then. She makes too much money to qualify for assistance. The clinic will not see me without insurance. How can I get treated?

Alright.
So I have no tempt.
I did, however, tell my mom I had a sore throat and she looked and it was wicked swollen. So I jokingly said, "Rawr, I'll cough on you," to my dog and she covered her mouth and all. But I've also missed alot of school and am failing. Do you think she'll let me stay home?

Seriously, do you want to be a non-smoker? Or do you secretly just want to keep smoking and just can't bring yourself to admit it out loud? I won't tell anyone.

What time is normal and/or healthy to go to bed each night?
And also I rarely sleep 8 hours each nite, usually 6-6.5 hours.
I just don't sleep well through the nite and have trouble actually falling asleep, any suggestions so that I can get to sleep earlier and fall asleep quicker and better throughout the nite without getting up during the nite?

Once a year, my whole body goes completely sore for a few days, usually three or four. It started when I was in 4th grade, with my legs, and I'm no in 8th. When my body goes sore, it just my muscles. Not sore like a sore throat from strep, but sore like, you decided to lift 100 pound weights on each hand and the ost you've ever lifted before was two pounds. It's so sore that I can't even turn my head a little without feeling pain. I just have to lie in bed all the time, and I wind up going through the week missing a few days of school. What's wrong with me? My mom and sister say it's probably just growing pains, but I doubt it since everybody my age and a little older have told me that that's really weird. And the soreness sets in pretty quickly, and goes away slowly. Is it really just growing pains like my mom says? Or it it some sort of crazy messed up disease?

My doctor just prescribed 37.5 mg of Ultracet every 4 hours for pain. I had a past problem with narcotic pain relivers in that I became addicted to them. Thankfully, with rehab I was able to overcome it. I was advised NEVER to take any narcotic. Is Ultracet consider a narcotic? I told my doctor I could not take any narcotics. My pharmacist said this was considered as being in the same class as narcotic pain relivers. Please help so I will not have to endure the pain of the dependence again!!

Is it possible to sleep all night without waking up? It seems like I always wake up after sleeping 4 hours, then I have to struggle to get back to sleep. I think it's because of my former roommate, who used to set his alarm at 5a.m. to go to work. My brain is probably wired to wake up around that time now. How do I fix this problem, and has anyone else experienced this?

It's 10:30 at night and I'm not going to run her to the hospital for a flu bug, just wondering what I can do to ease her upset tummy without any more medicine?

I just got contacts on friday, and it is now monday, and everyday that i had them except for the first day my right eye has had a feeling like something is in it while the left eye feels perfectly fine. i can only feel the pain when i blink or think about it. sometimes it just starts to water and i have to explain to everybody that im not crying. and then every once in a while i get this sharp pain all the way around my eye. could the pain be just in that eye because it is weaker and requires a stronger perscription than the other? i was thinking about not wearing them at all tomorrow to see if it still hurts... if it still does hurt what could be the reason?

I have a ganglion cyst in my left wrist, and about 3 weeks ago the doctor injected cortisone into it. It was sore for a week but then it got better, although the cyst is still there.

Just now my wrist has frozen up, so I've cracked it back again (it always does it -prob what caused the cyst to begin with) and suddenly the cyst seems to be moving - if I push on it slightly it moves around... it wasnt doing this before, is it normal?? Is it getting better or worse?!

Thank you!

Has anyone out there tried colon cleansing and what did you think of it? My friend is trying to convince me to do it with her, but I think it is a scam. All the websites about it want you to pay hundreds of dollars for their colon cleansing "systems." Does anyone know the facts about whether or not this really does anything to remove toxins? Please include links if you have them, thanks!

I am having problems with my upper back, should I be concerned? I know something isn't right. I feel like I want to faint when I lift something slightly heavy or I bend over too much. This happened after I was hit in the back with a door by someone.

For the past month, I have had pain in the outer part of my foot near my little toe. At first the pain was mostly from the outside of the foot but now it is all centralized on the sole of my foot, very close to the outer side, about an inch under my little toe, right on the bone that is there. There does seem to be a caluse there but looking at it, you wouldn't think there is anything wrong. It is really getting old. I have been using corn pads on it and that seems to help but I want it to just go away. Anyway Podiatrists or people that have had this happen to them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
