Isuffered from sinusitis for about 6 month in total, the doc finally gave me something to clear it up. I have still got the mucus that runs into my throat at night and is leaving my throat quite sore.
When I am in bed, mouth closed or open my throat is so dry, I wake up choking and need a drink, I have to keep swallowing. Its so annoying.
Is this to do with the mucus and the sinusitis, what should I get for it?

I attend college full time and work full time, and cannot find good health insurance for a student who can make rent and eat food, (no extra money). Most places I have checked are high rates with ridiculous co-pays, please help.

What are some good thoughts to tell yourself when you gotta put a cigarette down? What can you do instead? What are some things that have helped you quit. And did you succeed?

I have chronic pain pretty much all through my body. I can't work anymore and sometimes I have a hard time coping when I have to realize how it has changed my life. I try to think positive but at times it gets the better of me. I am taking Zoloft for depression and it has helped. I don't sleep well at all from the pain during the night and toss and turn all night. Anyone out there have this disease and maybe can share how they cope are what they do to help there pain.

I had spinal fusion surgery back in December. I have never had relief from the pain (6 months after surgery) and learned yesterday that 2 of the screws have broken and they suspect a failed fusion. While this certainly answers my question about why I'm still in so much pain, I'm not sure what to do about it. This pain is dibilitating and I don't know how much longer I can take it but if I don't go back to work I'll lose my job....Anyone else been through this? I feel like I'm starting all over.

Have I sprained something?
I started swim team on monday and ever sience my ankle muscles on my right ankle have been a bit sore. yesterday though I got off of the school bus and when I stepped on the ground a sharp shooting pain went radiated through my ankle and I couldnt walk for a minute than after about a minute I could gradually limp back along to my house. I used crutches that I had at my house for about 15 minutes and than I sta down. at swim team yesterday Every time I went to kick My ankle hurt and than I got a cramp in my foot which has never happened before. Today my ankle still hurts when I move it up and down, when I move my toes up and down, and when I push on the ankle on the soft part. as soon as I felt the pain My ankle swelled up and the entire ankle turned bright red within like 30 seconds. What is puzzling is I dont remember twisting my ankle. It also hurts when I run,or walk but I can sort of walk with pain and run barely with alot of pain.

what nutrients must i look for specifically at the back of the bottle to get the maximum out of my multi? i'm active, i eat well and i'm studying so i need to concentrate a lot! and is time release multivitamins better?
last week i finished my multivitamin supply. i never use to take them religiously but for the past two months i make sure i take one before i leave home. then last wk when i ran out i realised that it really affected my functionality. i felt more sluggish than usual and a bit more lethargic. i'm very active and i exercise regularly (atleast 4 times a wk) and i eat well but it never occurred to me that my multivitamins were so beneficial. what nutrients should i make sure that my multi has? anything to really look?
thank you in advance!

I have an appointment with my surgeon for next week Saturday (first appointment available) but I think that I might need help before then. I have a hernia that I believe to be incarcerated. I have had overwhelming nausea several days ago that subsided along with constipation for the past week. This morning I woke up again with the severe nausea. I was just wondering if anyone knew how much a visit to the hospital would cost me and if also if possible anyone knows how much emergency surgery would cost.

I'm insured.

I have been stretching, walking, using a heating bag, warm bath, drinking plenty of water, but it all only helps temporarily. The only thing that seems to work is pain relievers, but i dont want to depend on only that. My major back muscle is so cramped up, it feels like a rock. My tail bone has a semi pinching pain, and half my upper body hangs down that i am walking like igor, has anyone had anything work for them in this similiar situation, or should i just go see a doctor or chiropractor, it has been on and off for the last month.

I couldn't sleep last night because of my arms and legs. They just felt weird and are doing it today as well. It's like I constantly need to flex or stretch them. Has anyone else had this problem or know what it may be?

But latley I have been having trouble sleeping. I lay in bed, and the next thin I know, I look at the clock and it's freaking 5:30 in the morning and I am not aloud to sleep in very late. Three days ago I couldn't sleep until 4:00, then the next day I couldn't sleep until 3:00, and last night I couldn't sleep until 11:00, but luckily I got some sleep. But now Im doing it again. I can't take it! Because in the day I go nuts! I see things jumping at me, and feel sick. Any suggestions? Other then go see a docter. I will next month and I'll bring this up, for the time being, any suggestions to help? Thank you.

First of all, I am about 70 lbs overweight, so please, I know, I know...I need to and am in the process of losing weight. So be kind!

Every day my feet are in agony, and it is not like pain of my extra weight, it is like sharp, aching pain and very hard to explain. My calves now also hurt most of the time. It feels as though I would die to just have someone massage the pain and tension out of the calves and feet.

Someone once thought it could be high triglycerides.

I would like some suggestions as to what this pain is, besides the weight, because I do understand that.

I feel it is caused from something else...like diet pop or sugar or something.

Any advise greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

And oh, the pain is so bad, as much as I WANT to walk, it makes it unbearable most of the time. So I am in i viscious cycle because I love to walk, so please help!
