General Health Care - June 2007

my son who is almost 17 months old banged his head last sunday at universal studios...it became a bruised bump outside his head...I took him to first aid and they said the bump is better out than in so he will be fine, they gave him tyneol and tried to give him ice and refused...the swelling went down the next day and it was just a bruise...then yesterday, he hit the same spot when he fell into the cermaic boot i have(it's a decoration) this time he got a bigger bruise and 1 cut like a tiger slashed him across his forehead....the cut is now covered in dried blood...a lot of my friends say take him to the doctors but he fell and he is playing and fine. I know my son better than anyone else..what do you think and what would you do?

Whenever i see any motion (faster than walking pace)in any movie on a cinema screen it all seems a blur to me
and i usually think something is wrong with the projector as this has been happening for a few years now in almost any cinema i go to, i am starting to wonder if im suffering some sort of brain damage from knocks i have taken, i have 6 stiches on the left side of my head and 5 at the back of my head, which i accumulated over the years, and i used to drink alcohol heavily until i quit 3 years ago.Could someone tell me what might be wrong with me ?

I live in Iowa, and have no insurance, I have bipolar disorder, and can NOT go without my meds, I'm getting ready to run out. Does anyone know of any programs that I can apply for to cover medical expenses? I work full time, but through a temp service, so I'm not eligible for insurance through them. Any help would be great. Thanks so much!

I injured my knee on the 7th of April. Every medical professional that has examined it has thought that it was injured so badly as to need replacement. But none of the tests have concurred. Even the MRI show nothing. It hurts quite badly, it even woke me up in the middle of the night and made me cry from the pain. I'm completely confused. It hurts and looks bad, but no one can find anything. Any ideas?

Peace

I've noticed that I'm like the only one in my class that doesn't use all my fingers to type. I find it more comfortable when I just use my index fingers. I just can't type with them all. My friend says it's something to do with one side of my brain lol. Does anybody know why I'm like this?

Well mom refuses to take me to the docter to get it checked out, so what do you think? I have hand tremers from time to time, I have a sudden head jerk sometimes kind of like that of a dog, ans now I have this uncomfortable pain in my right leg and around my knee that causes it to jerk a little if I don' t move it after a while. My knee also hurts after walking around for a while and sometimes when I drive. What could this be?

Since I can remember, the left side of my body just doesn't want to work properly. I can't blink my left eye, wiggle my left toes or eat with my left hand (with a fork, I mean). Is this just down to being right handed or do I need to start panicing now??

ps. I come from a family of predominantly lefties...

I have just fallen up the stairs - again. I keep falling up or down them and as time passes it gets more often and more painful.

I just cannot stop doing it. I have fallen in public and private. So far no broken bones but I have hit my face and am in the middle of painful dental treatment. I have tried carpets, no carpets, different footwear, bare feet. My dog stops at the top or bottom to see if I am going to make it safely! I have even gone down two flights in one go at work. I stood at the bottom of the first flight quite dizzy still clutching my unsigned post and stepped backwards down the second flight. I am covered in bumps and bruises my poor partner is getting funny looks whenever I say this has happened, friends have asked if he ever loses his temper with me, poor man and I do not want to leave my little house and move into a bungalow, anyway like I say this happens everywhere.

Anyone have any solutions or do you have a similar problem?

I have a bad problem with staying up till 3-4am in the morning and sometimes later...Then I want to sleep till 11 or 12 the next day. How can I break this cycle? I hate being this way. I have been doing this for about two years now. Luckily, I have the luxury of not having to work. My husband takes good care of me, and doesn't really want me to work, (which is fine by me!!). I dont have any children, it is just me here all day. So I usually sleep in until he gets home for lunch. How can I get over this problem?? I would love to start getting up at around 6am and going to bed around 9 or 10...Does anyone else have this problem? I stay up either watching tv or playing on the computer...It's not like I am staying up to do something important. I just avoid going to bed. I have tried taking tylenol pm, and stuff to make me sleepy. I will get tired as hell, but fight my sleep cause I dont want to go to bed. HELP!!

when i got my tempurpedic bed it was nice and hard. and then my idiot friends started abusing it and one of them jumped on it twice. after a few months/about a year it got REALLY soft and now i can barely sleep on it. im paranoid. are tempurpedics supposed to soften a lot over time or is it because my friend jumped on it twice when i 1st bought it?

I drank a few bottles of Cal-Ion water a few days ago, which was supposed to be cleansing, but I got sick with a BP of 150/100 last night at the doctors. Was that the reason?

I am going to be getting one soon, and was wondering if anyone knows about the procedure. I am interested in knowing things such as pain level after, pre-op procedure, do you need a catheter, recovery time, etc. thanks :)

A few weeks ago the back of my right knee started hurting, it was'nt bad, it was dull like I had done to much exercising and my hamstring was sore, but in the last few days it has moved around to the top of my knee cap and has gotten more sharp, it is not the whole knee cap, kinda in one spot about the size of a quarter, it only really hurts when I walk and worse when I walk up or down stairs, any ideas what it could be? I don't really want to go to the doctors unless it is something serious enough to pay a doctor bill for.

FYI. I am 33

I donated blood about two months ago and there's going to be a blood drive around here again. Can I give blood now or do I have to wait longer?
