General Health Care - July 2007

Oh, my good god! I dunno what is wrong with my ear but I am in such extreme pain that I have been crying since 12am and it is now 5:40am mind you I am a 20yr. old woman and I am very strong usually when it comes to any sorts of pain. My left ear is pulsing inside, popping, reddened, and once in awhile gives me even more excruciating shots of pain but all in all it is a constant severe pain going on my 3rd day today. It feels like it isn't at the eardrum but more in the ear canal and the ear feels kinda full with no hearing. I can only eat liquids at the moment as whatever is happening has spread to the left side of my face making it impossible to close my back teeth together all the way and my outer ear and area just below my ear is extremely sensitive and painful as well and just a little bit swelled, I have tried antibiotic drops, non-antibiotic drops, the heating pad, tried the listerine on cotton ball trick, mineral oil, acetaminophen pain relief pills.

I have an ingrown finger nail that's totally bugging me. Any pressure around the finger can cause a little to a lot of pain in my thumb. Is there any cream or anything other than soaking and removing the nail from the skin that I can do or get?

How do you sleep at night. Straight out on your back, or on a specific side, or on your stomach?

I ask this because I have never, or at least to my knowledge, have had a black ant bite me. Perhaps I was sitting near a hill? But anyways, little bumps have shown up on my skin and they vary by size; because I am on vacation off in another state, I want to make sure nothing happens to me here, just to be safe.
It may be a stupid question, but better safe than sorry?

I have been diagnosed with FMS since2004, and still hav eyet to find anyhthing that helps releive symptoms. I have tried A few different antidepressants that are supposed to help fix the chemical imbalances to correct the sleeping patterns that are needed to heal the muscles from a hard days work. i have tried Effexor, Effexor XR, Wellbutrin, and for the pain i have tried Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Tylenol, Vicodin, and Tramadol (ultram).
The Vicodin worked but Doc's don't like prescribing it due to its addictive nature. The Ultram is okay, but doesn't take it away completley, and it is also a "black box drug" ,meaning that they don't know what the long term affects are yet. Has anyone else that has Fibro found a medicine not already listed that they would reccomend? Desperate for some releif! Thanks for your advice !

My friend's daughter, now 13, has been diagnosed as the poster child for ADHD. She's described her thoughts as watching a TV with someone else changing the channels uncontrollably. SHe's taking medication for it and everyone else used to say it helps, yet the last time I was over visiting, she hadn't had her pill for the day and was doin fine, but her mom made her take one, and she actually got MORE random and hyper.

Do kids outgrow their ADHD as they get older? I've never heard of an adult with ADHD.. does the brain simply adjust itself as it matures?

Because I need one to wear during an activity like volleyball. It has to be able to let my ankle move. I had twisted both of them a few weeks ago and my right one got better but my left one didn't. The real thing that really bothers it, is walking on the side of it a little, and I don't really realize that I do it.

It's disgusting to think about it but its also very natural. I just wanted to know why this happens. Even when you dress the wound up after a day or two it needs to be redressed otherwise an odor prevails. The cast is something most people have no choice over when it comes to dressing it from the inside.


Fill me in!

I'm 16 and for the past few weeks my knees, wrists, ankles, and practically every joint in my body have been hurting. I had this pain before, which caused me to stop excercising because of the pain. Then the pain went away. So a few months later, I've started exercising again...and guess what....the pain is back. Any ideas why my joints could be hurting when I start excersing regularly? Any help is appricitated. Thanks.
