I've alway had little or no luck in life, My friends notice it, My family notice it, Only thing I have going for me is a beautiful a child, Its been said more than once If I didn't have bad luck i'd have none. I changed doctors recently and went for my first appointment, she looked over my file and said "You've not had a lot of luck" I asked why, "Well for a young man your age you've had quite alot of problems" I kid you not thats what she said. I.E asthma, Hole in my heart, Anxiety, Depression the list goes on.

I've heard people say I am negative, but thats why as everything that can go wrong does, Sure I've tried to be positive but I don't get to far to something goes wrong again.

On the other side of the coin, I entered a raffle recently, I live in a poor area but who happened to win the raffle?? The richest man who entered it, the local bank manager, You get what I'm getting at.

Even more worrying its rubbing of on my other half.

Is it possible to change your luck?

My sons school says that they do not administer any kind of first aid in their school. The only thing they can give is a band-aid and always call the parents to come to the school to apply antibiotic cream. I am a nurse, do they really think that I can or even will be able to leave my patients at the hospital to come to the school and apply cream to a simple cut or scrape? I also work 45 minutes from the school so that means a total of 90 minutes out of work for a scrape! I also cannot leave my job without having another nurse to care for my patients, can you see the problems this causes. I think it would be so simple for someone in the school to be trained in first aid. Does anyone know the laws for Michigan public schools?

I've caught her on many occasions biting her fingernails and eating them, also picking her nose and eating her bugers. Is this normal? I can't imagine it would be all to healthy for her either.

I had sleep issues for about 18 months but that ended about 6-9 months ago. Why do I still feel exhausted and lethargic every day no matter how much sleep I get the night before? I've tried sleeping more, sleeping less, sleeping with it cold, sleeping with it hot, etc and nothing makes a difference.... How long does the "sleep debt" last if that is even true? Thanks!

About 2 and a bit years ago, I was playing football and received a challenge from 'over the top' right onto the top of my foot. It hurt a bit at first on the top of my foot and my big toe, and there was some swelling, and it was very painful to walk on. I sought out medical advice, and they just said it was tissue injury. However, now, I have a clicking in my big toe (a region where a stud from the challenge hit) either between my metatarsal and first cunieform or phalange and metatarsal.
What is causing the clicking?

If you have an arm amputated and it was not from a disease, it was just from it being detatched from an accident, are you allowed to bring it home and eat it? They throw it away anyways I believe, so why not just let me have it to eat so I can say I ate my own arm?

I had my ACL reconstructed by Patellar Tendon in July of 2006. I retore it in January of 2007, and will have to have it reconstructed in May after graduation. I was supposed to run Cross Country for Baylor, but now it looks like I won't be able to. When do you think I'll be able to start training as hard as a college athlete does? Will it be in time for Track season of 2008?

I am a 21 year old healthy male. I am having bad lower back pain and constant leg pain. I go to college, and work part-time at a local restaurant bussing tables now for 3 years. The bussing trays are real heavy, which could probably cause my back problems. This has been going on for 2 weeks now, what should I do? Chiropractor? Doctor?

When I woke up this morning, the base of the fourth toe on my left foot was in excrutiating pain. I could barely walk. The pain feels almost like a cramp, but it has something to do with the nerve? It's kind of in the front part of my foot, just below the toes. I also have an ingrown toenail right now on that same foot, but I don't think that has anything to do with it... what is wrong with my foot??

I am not anemic , but I am slightly clumsy. However, these bruises are really severe and I think it might be something more serious than "I bruise easily."
