General Health Care - February 2007

I haven't had a smoke for 2 days. I just want to know if any of you found it easy or tough to quit? So far I'm good and not many cravings I hope it stays that way! How long will it take to notice the benefits of quitting? Thanks.

If you do, is it a narcotic? And can it be detected in a urinalysis test?

I use deodorant and shower every day. However, I still have daily underarm BO. It's really annoying. It's not unbearable, but I think it's gross. I have to change my shirt and re-apply deodorant every day when I get home from work. But even then I start to smell again within a few hours. Throught this whole process, I won't have sweated once. The odor isn't accompanied by sweat. What's the deal? How do I fix it? I'm desparate! Help!

I am having trouble. It is not coming off! I have never used this one before. Should I shower? There is all this white stuff on my under arm, and usually, it's never there. But I just tried it, and it feels like dry glue! I know this sounds stupid, but I am worried. Thanks so much! :)
Sincerely,
BMAC

Hey. 5 years ago, i noticed i was having trouble reading the board in the classroom. Over the last few years, my eyes have got worse and worse, and while my glasses are fantastic, they were supposed to be temp and i now need to wear them all the time. Having them on and off is causing headaches, especially since i work at a comp desk, and i need to lean in really close to be able to even see the comp screen! For those that have had laser surgery (i have mild short sight, meaning reading is NO problem but street signs are near impossible) how much did it cost, is there only one session, how is your eye sight now...? ANY info, this will be a huge thing for me as i'll need to save for it and it better be worth it! :o)

before I did this today, I just got done recovering from a broken wrist. Same wrist same place same everything. I was messing around w/ my friend today, and my friend like accidently kicked me and my wrist bent downward and it just hurt. the pain isnt great until i try to bend it all the way back. I can bend it half way, but when i shake my hand is when i FEEL LIKE I WANNA SLAP A *****. It hurts really bad when i like flip my wrist around. It's swelling some, it makes a popping noise whenever i bend it. And when i bend it backwards, it feels like it is just stuck. And the worst part is my mom is calling me apussy and doesnt believe me. So do you think this could be a fracture?

30 minutes before tanning, I always apply sunscreen to my face since sunscreen takes about that long to soak all the way into your skin. I always keep a towel over my face too but I heard that UV rays can pass through anything that water can. So I'm thinking the towel isn't enough. Is there any kind of product out there specifically FOR indoor tanning use on the face?? Maybe an aftercare product?? I don't want to have to pay the price 20 years later with age spots and wrinkling skin..so anything preventative im willing to try.

It has been slippery here in CO this winter. While she was coming out of the mailroom, she slipped and severely broke her leg, requiring major surgery. She has always been socially embarrassed, almost to a pathological degree. While we were at a restaurant, her menu didn't have laminate, and she was dreadfully embarrassed, because the rest of us did. And I noticed a long time ago that she often laughs at people who fall, or stumble. I've heard of people breaking their legs falling down stairs, but never in a straight fall, just walking, and then slipping to the ground. I think she felt herself slipping, and did some crazy maneuvers, anything to avoid the inevitable, and she overcorrected her balance, resulting in a twisted ankle and a hairline fracture in both bones of her left leg.

My gf has this feeling of like pressure on the bottom of her right ribcage. There are visible signs of what could be causing it. It's not a pain, but a pressure feeling that she's been feeling in that particular spot for a week now. She feels it the most when she is sitting down (during class). The feeling is on the surface, doesnt seem to be inside like any internal organs. Any idea what it could be?

And she has been feeling around and there are no lumps, swollen lymph nodes, sign of bruises or anything. Perhaps its gas, or maybe a bruised bone or something. I dont know.
