My right ear started hurting yesterday afternoon. I took a shower that morning, and there was no water in my ear. Now, my ear still hurts a little, but not very much. Should I go see the doctor?

I'm sick and tired of poisoning myself with fluoride, but am worried that a water filter doesn't filter it out. I would hate to have to buy bottled water from now on.

Is there a reason medically that makes someone, not tired, but sleepy all day long? I can sleep 14-15 hours a day or more if allowed. This isn't normal. My husband is getting concerned.

My co-worker has a migraine. She cannot recall if she took her usual 2 advil this morning (within the past hour) or not.

Can she take one Advil now?

If she did take her advil this morning and took one now, that would total 3 advil.

If she did not take her advil this morning and took one now, that would total 1 advil.

Would 3 advil have any harmful effects or is that fine for her?

Also, which ones don't leave a sticky or greasy residue on your hands?

I used to use Purell original formula and liked it because it was effective, soft on my hands (didn't dry it out, burn it, or leave a stinging sensation), and didn't leave ANY residue (not even the slightest bit) on my hands.

But now I can't use Purell anymore b/c I believe they changed the formula and now it dries out my skin, burns it, and make my skin sting for about 24 hours.

I have been using Purell everyday for about 5 years and now I can't use it anymore.

Last night I got HORRIBLE pains in the center/right of my chest . I have gotten these pains only 3 or 4 times over the past few years. It is always followed by late night eating (last night was an apple fritter). My question is.. is this just heart burn? How do you know if you have a gallblatter issue? I am assuming that if you have gallblatter problems that you would have pain everytime you ate "poorly". The few times it has happened has been in the middle of the night. I read up on the symptoms of gallblatter disease and I don't seem to have a lot of them. The pain does radiate under my right breast. BUT 2 Malox and 30 minutes later I am fine. Anyone have any input??? Thanks!

Before it could start bleeding I superglued it closed. This was six weeks ago, I thought it would be fine but I still have a pain in the knuckle and it hurts like a bruise would. Any ideas on what I did?

I don't really need to hear from cold-turkey quitters--we are speaking of someone who has been smoking for over 40 years--'cold turkey' would definitely bring withdrawal. Thanks.

I Recently (the 17th) had an abscess on my tonsil, i had to go to the hospital and i got my first IV and it scared me.

The next day (the 18th) they sent me to get it drained. This was scary and painful seeing how they used a syringe while i was wide awake.

I went back yesterday for a check up, and the doctor said that on a scale of 1-4 my tonsils are 3+. And he told me i need to get them removed or else i'll just get another abscess.

Im terrified. Im getting them removed july 24th, and im scared to death. Like I wanna cry kind of scared.

What if the anestheic doesnt work?
How bad Will the Pain be?
What should i expect?

I really am scared to death so i want the truth, not candy coated.

The building I'm in has a water tank. Unfortunately, if it gets drained, the new water becomes rusty. I don't know if its from the pipe or the source, I dunno, they say it gets jiggled or something. I also don't know if it's their responsibility to keep it from draining. As much as I want to tell them to do something about it (i did, only once), we all know the problem will come back later eventually.

We buy drinking water so that's not much of a problem, but we have a kitchen... we wash our plates no where else. During overtimes, I just had to stay here a week or so. So I take a bath, wash my face, wash my hands, etc... in rusty water.

So I'll be suggesting a filtering system or whatever. Is it possible to cleanse water with rust? Would the filtering system get clogged or something or die out earlier than on water that is just filled with other "minerals"?

I still will be filing a complaint to the admin. No one knows when it can be solved, so I have to do something for now.
