Do you get energetic? Or lazy; tired??
What are the signs of abuse?
And lastly, what is the obviously bad **** you get from it, like cocaine users get nosebleeds...what do percocet users get??

Please don't ask me why I'm asking this, because frankly I can't justify myself.
Thanks to anyone who answers and....yeah.

I want to quit for me. However, my husband smokes and I dont want to expect him to quit. I also find it hard because I can't stay away from smokers, and I love to drink and smoke together, I cant very well stay away from drinking on the weekends either. I need that to wind down on the weekends, My husband is in Iraq and things are Very stressful right now, I picked a bad time to quit, but its a top priority for me right now. Please any advice would be great. I have tried cold turkey and as soon as I eat or go walking, or go kart riding, anything i do on a normal day, I want one so bad, and my friends and family are no help cause they give into my begging. Please help me out here.

I have been playing guitar for 12 years, and ever since a biking accident I had when I was about 11 years old, I have been having intermittent but almost severe pains in my wrist. I never feel pain when I play guitar, but a few days afterwards I will feel a sharp, deep pain through my entire wrist area. Sometimes it just happens out of nowhere, whether or not I have been overusing it. My fingers get tense and have trouble moving, and my entire wrist has trouble moving. However, movement does not make the pain any worse.

I have been to a doctor who told me it is NOT carpal tunnel, it's not DeQuervain's tendonitis, it's not a broken bone... and when I showed him where it hurt, since it was so many locations simultaneously, he said, "It's probably tendonitis in all of those tendons, so I can't give a cortisone injection or anything." He advised me to take ibuprofin every 4 hours for 3 weeks while wearing a brace.

I have done some research that tells that Niacin covers traces of THC to fool a drug test, but does the THC deplete in the same amount of time that it regularly would without the interference of Niacin? Also, how many MG of this vitamin and how often? Thanks.

How do you help stop the itch and pain of having many bug bites. My friend has over 50 bites from one night outside all over his arms (looks like hives almost!). Is there any way to stop the itching. I heard something about putting clear nail polish on them....Sprays like Itch X aren't very good for this situation either.

when he talks or explains something, its worse at that time. He has no medical conditions, and is perfectly normal. He's not going through any stressful situation, or the family for that matter. He doesn't drink alot of coke or eat sweets more than he needs to. He has not tried any new foods. His eyesight is okay. Other than this blinking problem, he is completely normal. Is there anything I can do or you can suggest?

I have stitches under my chin and there is dried blood on them. Its really annoying and kinda itchy. I was wondering if there was a safe way to get it off with out damaging the stitches. They are the kind that will come out on their own.

For the past 2 days now I've had this really dark purple bruise and it's very painful to move my leg. The area of the bruise is raised and very warm to the touch. Is there any possibility that there is more to this than it just hurting very badly?

Ok stupid me was cutting something with a fold up knife and the dam thing folded up over my thump. The cut is pretty deep but not to the bone ( I dont think ). I was pretty fast at getting a wetwipe and putting pressure on the wound and the bleeding seemd to half seal the cut.

It has been throbing all day and when i took the plaster off it looked pretty deep and open. So i got some of that bandage tape stuff and made myself some butterfly stitches and sealed the wound up pretty well. I'm hoping it will clot well enough to heal, Not really bothered about a scar as its only a thumb.

Any advice weather i should go to the Hospital or just keep changing the dressing everyday. Note this is throbing like mad but the bleeding as keept off.
