I know that both are good for circulation and good for your heart.
What i'm concerned about is I'm not sure how much of each i should take...and is it safe to take both at the same time. And which would be best for circulation and such??
Last time i was at the doctors, i simply forgot to ask and i am getting ready to go to the store so i need to pick some up.
They tested my blood and said that my B12 level was ok, so is there a risk of OD if i take the supplement?
And is CQ10 only for older people?
How much of each IU should i consume daily?

13 year old daughter began complaining of stomach cramps around 5/6 days ago. abdominal pain gradually got worse during week, on thurs/friday morning the pain got very painful and kept her awake all night. she struggled to walk, couldnt sit down by the morning , felt nauseous. took her to the doctors (friday morning),he examined her and told me to take her to the hospital has he suspected appendicitus, . At the hospital the doctor examined her, a blood/urine test was done which were normal. The doctor didnt really know what it could be but said that it didnt look like appendictus and sent her home. My daughter was ok on saturday just minor pain and today she has been ok. However, in the past 2/3hours my daughter complained of pain in her abodomen and has got bad diaherea to the point her bum is sore. She says she feels nauseous but has no pain only when using toilet. Should i take her back to the hospital? could it be her appendix?

Every morning for like the past 5 months i always have the strong urge to vomit. When i go running or work out in the morning i actually do vomit. I plan on going to a doctor to get this checked out, but is there a particular why this is happening because it really is bothering me?

I've been given Biaxin for an ear infection, and it's giving m nausea PLUS my appetite is not very good since 've been taking the meds.. I'm suppose to take the meds 2 times a day with food so I don't get nauseated.. I don't know what to do.. whatever I eat or drink I'm nauseated and most of the time I am not hungry for my 2nd dose so I miss it........ I'm out of ideas!

Two years ago I had vicious shin split which forced me to take a break for two years without jogging.

Right now it feels OK and I am looing to start jogging and most importantly avoid the same pain reoccurring again.
What's your best advice to avoid it?

Cheers

I have been having a lot of problems with recurring constipation and have wanted to try a colon cleanse to get rid of the compacted stools. I just have a feeling that there are stools that are stuck in my bowels. My diet isn't terrible but isn't good either. Can you give an natural recommendations or commercially available colon cleanses that would loosen the compacted stools? I have seen a bunch of websites that try to see these. Which is good for this?

Scenic Mountain Medical in Big Spring, Tx policy is the following according to their website:

Any patient having inadequate insurance coverage, or no insurance coverage, will be requested to make appropriate deposits at the time of admission
You will be asked to pay any co-pays or deductibles not covered by your insurance at the time of service.

Even thos it does state this on their website. My son was still denied a payment plan even tho his insurance would have paid 90 percent.
My son could have died if we just have walked out of the hospital. His doctor told him to go straight to Midland right away which is 45 mins away. It took the emergency room their another 4 hours and they performed the surgery that night at 10:38.

I have had an EXTREMELY sore throat since Monday (August 20th) and have been to the doctor's 3 times now. Everytime I swallow it feels like glass is tearing the back of my throat, the corners of my lips are sore and cracked, I have several ulcers (both on my lips and on my tongue), I have white spots on the roof of my mouth and a few right near my tonsils, my throat and tonsils are VERY red and inflamed and a few zits around my mouth. I have been told by the hospital and my GP that I do not have tonsilltis, but a severe pharyngitis. Is there anyone who can recommend anything to relieve the pain? I am currently drinking bucket loads of water, taking ibuprofen, sucking throat drops and eating milk pops, but would appreciate any other ideas... as it's like sharp glass everytime I swallow! :-(

Without getting into too much detail, about 10 months ago, I severely injured my back(thoracic area) . As far as imaging can tell, there is no skeletal damage or nerve issues, it can only be muscles. At best, I'm at a 5 on the pain scale, and I'm normally 6 or 7. This is with both CR and IR oral morphine(30mg BID and 15mg q4-6 PRN, respectively), a NSAID, and gabapentin. I had to stop Flexoril because of blood pressure issues (92 systolic). I spend at least an hour or two daily very nauseous from the pain. PT hasn't worked yet and I've run out of insurance, so the only treatment I can do right now is the TENS unit I have at home.

Here's my question though: Once a month or so, I have an episode of unprovoked intense pain, the only time I'm willing to say that I hit 10/10 on the pain scale. It can last up to an hour. Nothing I have can do anything. Is it possible to get any kind of injectable analgesic to keep at home for this case? Also, would a physician write for anything like this?

I have been having very bad mid- back pain. Hurts when i twist or bend to the eft or right. Feels concentrated right right in the middle of my back. It hurts really bad when i tuck my chin or put my head down to far it feels like im pulling the heck of the spot where it hurts. We have really cheap beds here. So i could use any tips to folding a blanket or a certain place to put a pillow under my back or any everyday things i could use to remedy this pain. It hurts so bad during the night i cant roll over. Please someone give a soldier some tips. i can walk around but i think i got it from jumping off a helicopter alittle to much the other day. It was on the ground about 4 feet up. thanks to all .
