General Health Care - April 2007

I just can't sleep for more than 7 hours. If i go to sleep at 2 am i will wake up at 8 am to 9am, if i go to sleep at 11 pm i will wake up at 5 am - 6 am. When i wake up, i have a headache and nausea for about 30 minutes, then for the rest of the day i have an uneasy and queasy stomach. If i try to sleep longer than this, i will keep waking up 15 minutes. I am also tired all day and don't have much energy. Any suggestions?

Today my bitchen boyfriend decided to take down an old fence on the side of our yard. However, when I went out there to say good morning to him as I turned around and started walking back to the side door I stepped on one of the planks and into my foot went 2 rusty nails.
Oh my gosh it hurt so f****** bad!!!!!!!!!! I was wearing flip flops (very cute ones too) but the nails went straight through them. I cleaned the two holes right when it happened, is it ok if I wait till Monday to go get a tetanus shot, or should I go like 3 hours ago???????
If I wait, what are some of the signs that I should look for to tell that something is wrong due to the rusty nails in my foot?
thanks

My doctor just started me on Depakote (500mg once a day at night). I have read so many NEGATIVE things about this drug and I am a bit scared to tell you the truth. Another thing is that I am already on 6 Percocet 10-325's a day (sometimes more) for chronic pain. Does anyone know if these two interfere w/ each other. I know that I can take them together but it seems that the Depakote makes my percocet "less strong." Is anyone else out there on BOTH the medications?? Can anyone give me any info on Depakote and your experiences with it!? I am scared about the hair loss and weight gain!! I just started the Depakote yesterday and want to STOP taking it if I need to before I get too "dependant" on it. Any help would be extremely appreciated!! Thank you so much in advance!!

I kind of twisted my ankle a while ago (about a week), but it hurts just in the area near the knobby part on your foot. I still played sports even though it hurt a little. Is this really bad? (I didn't see a doctor about it).

I have had a sore throat for several months.

I took penicilin a whilse back when one of my tonsils had a white blob on it.

The throat looks more dark red. I feel tired and neck pain radiates down to shoulder.

I saw a gp and he said blood test looks ok. Saw a ears eyes throat speacialist and he says it will take time to go away. Sometimes I get so phychologically affected that get stressed.

Not sure if there are any other consultants around i can see...

I'm in pain, but it's not THAT bad. I could probably handle it. Should I just try and bash my shoulder back into its socket, or should I make a doctor's appointment for Monday?

I love rides, but I find that I get nausea and sometimes actually throw up after rides, especially spinning ones. Do travel sickness tablets prevent this?

LOL...I've always heard rumors about people's nails turning black when they slam them in something or drop something on them. So is it true what happens next? Is my nail going to fall off? I honestly could care less what happens to the PSP...I never used that thing that much to begin with...

I have been diagnosed with a degenerative disc and the dr suggested an ESI (Epidural Steroid Injection). I was wondering if anyone has had one and what to expect with it. He said that he isn't going to knock me out just numb the area. After that what happens? Does the pain go away quick or does it take a while? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
