General Health Care - February 2007

I've been wondering about Lasik, but I'm really squeemish with my eyes; I can't even put contacts in because it freaks me out so much. So here's my question: Can you be anesthetized during Lasik?

I haven't even decided if I want to have it done, and if I do, it won't be done anytime soon.

I just want to know if I should keep considering it.

Any help would be appreciated!

On Sat. i started having cold like symptoms-runny nose, congestion, headache, chills, fever (only had one night) and ache. Im starting to feel better in general, my nose seems to be drying up, and not as runny but im still congested. I was going to go to the doctor but im hearing that antibiotics wont really help a cold plus other than the fact that im still congtested im feeling a little better and dont want to go if i dont HAVE to. Is there something that i can take that would clear up my congestion so im not so stuffy and sound congested when i talk?? Im going to visit family this weekend and i really want to be better. Thanks!

I've had a lot of problems in school because I can't seem to turn of the alarm clock and stay awake. Sometimes I don't even hear the alarm clock or just turn it off asleep.

I was shaving this morning and nicked my upper lip. It started bleeding a lot, and i kept some tissue on it for an hour. It still was bleeding a lot when I took the tissue off an hour later, but I had to go to work so i put a bandaid on it. (pretty funny looking) but now, 4 hours after the initial cut, when i pull the bandaid back it starts bleeding again! what can i do to stop the bleeding, or how much longer do i have to wait?

has given Mr McLaren a problem. I just bet it has because i have always thought he did not want David in the England team and he wasted no time in getting rid of one of the finest dedicated man to football ever.now come on Steve you know he has got to be back in the English team so dont waste anytime and say Yes David your in and it will take a weight of your shoulders to know you have got a good Footballer along with a few more back in the team and You And Terry can go against any team with a fair bet of winning what do others feel about David Beckam back again

It all started a couple days ago, I have a cold and I had an eye infection or so it seemed. My eye was sore and red and would sometimes get watery and then get all dry and crispy. That passed and now pretty much the whole left side of my face hurts, from my left temple to under my left eye or cheek area. I'm not sure if it's just part of a head cold or could it be something else? It is also very hard to sleep at night and Tylenol extra strength does not seem to help at all.

Wondering if there are more risks or benefits to sleeping on one's left or right side, or if the two sides are equally healthy.

I'm currently having severe headaches every day. My doctor seems to think that it is a food trigger but I've cut out everything that he recommended already and the headaches continue. I'm looking for a list of foods that are known headache triggers. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

get your voice back??? I've been sick and I woke up today and my voice is like completely gone! I'm stressed because I have a very important observation to do at my old high school tomorrow for one of my college classes. I can't really reschedule because it took like two months to get this date set up. It's not like I can get away without talking because I have to interview the teacher and stuff. Is there any kind of medicine to take or anything to drink?

I hurt all the time in both of my hips and back, and I can hardly walk at times. Even when walking the pain is constantly there. I go to bed in pain, wake up in pain and hurt all the time. I just feel terrible, and I do feel like it is probably arthritus in both of my hips, and back. I do have an appt. to see a MD shortly, any advice to help with the pain, and just to get through the everyday living until I see the MD.

If you have taken nutritional / food supplements have you seen any specific health benefits? Did it solve any specific problems, make you feel healthier, make you live longer, give you confidence that you will avoid some otherwise horrible debilitating illness in the future....???
