a friend of mine once told me that getting a c-section is almost the same as undergoing an appendectomy. personally, i think it isn't. i think women should be respected for being able to withstand childbirth. it is a strength in itself. though my friend refused to believe so and thinks that women, "generally" (and physically), are a weaker sex than men.

I was cleaning my pool and I was putting chlorine in and a ton just splashed into my left eye! What can I do to relieve the pain? It feels like there is a rock inside there too,but I looked and nothing was there.

I have also been experiencing this pain in my arms. Over the last few months, I often wake up with numbness in at least one limb. Are these symptoms related, and what could it be?

....I wear leave-in contact lenses, but had something irritating in one today and took it out to rinse it. I usually use multi purpose saline solution which you can use to rinse the lenses and put them straight back in. However, I forgot that my optician gave me some new solution to try and when I rinsed my lens off and put it back in, it was excrutiatingly agonising. Upon reading the bottle, I discovered it's one of the fluids you have to leave to 'neutralise' for 6 hours, so I presume I subjected my poor eye to a hefty dose of hydrogen peroxide! I rinsed my eye for ages in running water, but it's steadily got worse during the day. It's now really swollen, bloodshot, won't stop watering and seems to have what looks like a water blister over the whole eyeball.

Has anyone else done this before, I'm just wondering if it will this settle down over time, or do I need to get it looked at?

It really hurts : ((

my nose has been bleeding for a week, and the blood becomes a clot in my nose, so it feels stuffy until I blow my nose. I tried Vaseline, to keep my nose 'moist' but it's not helping.

What could the cause of this be and what can I do to stop it?

Today I started my Antabuse medication and I have counselling lined up starting next Monday.
Today I said Goodbye to alcohol.

I have to leave you now
I have to say goodbye
We must never meet again
You must be cast aside

Your usefulness is over
This game is at an end
I'm leaving now for better things
But I want to part as friends

I know you never did me harm,
It was I that caused the bruise,
I cannot blame the tool
That I chose to abuse

You gave me everthing I asked of you
And you would have till the end
It was I that ruined the trust we had
I wish I'd been a better friend

I must turn away from your sweet kiss
We must never more embrace,
Our fevered dance is ended
And shall not be danced again.

Hello guys and girls,


I've been on Effexor for 4 weeks now (75mg) but at night before I goto bed, I get really sad and down, so having some beer helps.

I've been drinking about 3 Coronas (light beer) every night to help calm down and sleep. I know you aren't supposed to drink on this medication as it amplifies the effects of alcohol. But are there any other concerns I should be aware of?

I'm not drinking heavily, it's a light beer. Is this something I should stop?

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

My mother had a blister that popped but now it's bleeding. It's been bleeding for an hour without clotting. I worry that this maybe a side effect of the blood thinners she's on. When should I take her to the doctor?

It hurts mainly in the mornings, I have taken Motrin which seems to work, and when i do cardio at the gym its fine the rest of the day. Its between my shoulder blade and my spinal cord. Feels like a huge knot. Any idea what I can do to make it better? I have even tried taking Viox at night to make it better.

Thanks!

In Dec. MRI showed lower bone had healed, but not the upper. Neurological testing showed no nerve or muscle damage. Have numbness in both feet. The MRI also discovered a bulge between the L4-L5 vertebrae. I am concerned about the continued pain that rediates from the buttocks over the hip down to the groin. Could something else be wrong?

Is there any conditon or reason why there might be blood in my snot? Its happened a few times and I'm starting to get a bit worried.
