General Health Care - February 2007

Why do they only include 2 viral types of the many that cause cancer and include 2 types that only cause warts. Likely they will come out with a complete vaccine that coincides with the date the current vaccine comes off patent. Thanks again Merck for leaving out the Vioxx data and lying to the public and Doctors.
Its important for all the chemistry posters to realize there are 4 viral types in the current vaccine 2 are for cancer and 2 are for warts. I am saying substitute cancer causing types for the wart types that are currently in the vaccine.

The pain feels like someone is drilling in my head. It hurts so bad that I can not move until it passes through. I think it has something to do with my nerves but I am not sure. When it happens it tenses the whole side, and it is only on the right side.

The longest that the pain has ever been has been for 30 sec, but during that time, like I said I couldn't move any part of my body. It was like being temporally paralazyed. Does this make sense to any one, or has any one experienced any of this.

Any information would be very helpful.

In view of one story in the paper today"86yr old lady dies on ward with maggot infested wounds".
My question is as the daughter was a senior nurse and there were complaints about her mothers treatment from various relatives instead of complaining why did they not do more to ensure her personal care if they could see what was wrong.
Even if it meant doing the job themselves for thier much loved relative,It seems they had the knowledge but did nothing or are they now suffering from guilt complex and so have registered a complaint about her care.
I have nothing but admiration for the care I have recieved in the past from the NHS but if needed my wife or I would take our relative home to nurse and make sure there was proper support care that is available in the community.

When i talked to my docter, he told me it was due to stress and unhealthy sleeping patterns. But recently i've experience, twice, this absoulutely unbearable pain in my left side underneath the heart. I do not know why this is. Both times occured during lunch time. Once while i was eating, the other time when i just woke up 1/2 hour ago. Both times it lasted for about 1/2-1 hour. The first time, i went to my doctor, the pain was just starting to ebb away, and he couldn't find anything wrong with me. He just told me to buy some painkillers and if that doesn't work go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital. Is this pain possibly also due to stress? Or is there something seriously wrong with me?

Recently for the past week, i've been noticing very aggressive headaches before I go to bed. The headaches are then followed be light headed feelings and dizziness. I am not on any medications and cannot figure out why this would be happening. I do not do anything that would lead this on. I do not work hard nor stay up late. My days usually 6-7AM til 11pm-12am They continue to bother me until I fall asleep and can still feel lightheaded come morning but I usually just end up walking it off. I've tried St. Johns Wort (I use that as an alternative instead of antidepressants for about 3 years now) because it helps me sleep but that alone isn't helping my headaches. What could this be? Thanks.

Last week, i was running on hardwood floors with socks. I fell like 5 feet into the air, and my arm flew into the wall. It hurt really badly at the time, then it wasn't as bad afterwards. Since yesterday, the pain came back. Its not broken, i can still move it. When I twist my arm, i have shooting pains up to my palms sometimes. The pain is my elbow down. Above my elbow is fine. I don't know if I tore a ligament, or if it could be tendonitis, as I play the saxophone and piano.

I can understand the cause of sharp stabbing pains, they are because of the muscles that are contracting...

...but what about all those excruciating aches? The way your spine feels as though its about to snap at any moment? The way your legs feel like they've marched 1,000 miles? The way your stomach feels as though its being crushed!?

Why do the ACHING pains occur?

I have a great deal of pain in the thumb (basal) joint in my right hand, also, there is a prominent bulge in the area. Obviously, arthritis is the culprit. Does anyone have similar experiences and recommendations for relief of this problem?

Of course, between you and me, Mr. GorgeousFluffpot (being a man) is convinced it's the onset of influenza, pneumonia, leprosy, whatever ... you name it, he thinks he's got it!
But he's in bed feeling sorry for himself ... so what advice can you give him, what funny story can you tell to make him feel better.
All replies welcome.
Ten points and a very fluffy kiss to the best answer!
