I've heard this myth before so in doing so when I run from a wasp I am super fast but is this myth true or will just standing there while they are around make you an easy wasp target?

this morning i was studying and chewing gum and i was sitting up against a door and my sister opened the door from the other side and it scared me and i swallowed my gum lol well i half swallowed it, it started to go down my throat but then i coughed it up and spit it out, but all of the juices from the gum went down the wrong pipe... and i was coughing for like 20 minutes and now my throat is soooo sore. i took a chloraseptic sore throat strip but it doesnt help that much and we dont have any other medicine for throats, so are there any home remedies or things to make it feel better??

I have a very bad acid reflux and heartburn problem. I have them both every day all day. I cant really find any menus out there for this. I know what certain foods make me sick and what foods I can eat. But it would be nice to have my meals planned out and to have a menu to go by. Yes, I am taking meds for the both issues noted above, but they only help so much.

Please and Thank you!!!

I am a 47 year old man. I've become unable to work or function on a daily basis since June 7th 2007. My body from my neck to my toes have become numb. My fingers and toes are often swollen and purple with a scar like appearance between my fingers and toes that is very painful. I can walk very slowly with a cane but I lose my balance frequently & suffer from frequent muscular spasms. My shoulder, elbow and wrist joints ache constantly. I have had Brain MRI, Back MRI including Lumbar and cerv. All come back negative except with my neck has a vertibrae rubbing on my spinal. I have a buldging disk. I am being treated with Neurotin, Vicotin, Skelaxin and Naproxen. I have been to a Rheumatologist, and no forms of Arthritis have been found. I went to a Lousy Neurologist and she picked me with straight pin and said this is not Neurology. I'm now getting ready to see a new Neurologist. I am so need to get back to work, this condition is costing so much money. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone. Well, school's starting in a few days, August 8, to be precise, and I sustained an ankle sprain July 10. Right now, I can walk with and without the brace, but no running. First on 7/17, I went on to the doctor after 7 days of the RICE technique, and got a brace so I could rest and go on crutches. I took the painkiller Ibuprofen. Subsequently, on July 24, after seeing my doctor yet again, he showed me that I could walk, and needed to commence walking around the house to build strength. No more medicine. It's been a while, and I have done exercises, like the one where you extend your toe and then bring it back or make it point toward the ceiling, and the one where you stand on one foot for 30 seconds. I did the towel one for a while, but right now, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to have my ankle brace on while I do the exercises. I usually wear a big sneaker to fit my ankle brace inside, and do the exercises. Also, I have a note that says that I can't run until September.

I have always had 'lowish' blood pressure, being around 110/66, but since having my son a year ago, it is always around the 100/62, and can drop low in the 90's. I find I feel tired all the time, and nauseas at times and find it really hard to get moving. Does anyone know if this could have anything to do with it?

I dislocated my shoulder on the job and it caused a tear in the rotator cuff. I did not miss any work at all from this injury and workmans comp has paid all medical bills related to this. I have not had corrective surgery for the torn rotator cuff because I can get along just fine without. I have full movement and use of my shoulder, but i do feel some pain while lifting with my arm extended out. I was wondering if workmans comp would pay anything just for being injured in such a way.

I've been quite idle for a couple of months now, and a while ago, I played basketball for a few minutes. I wasn't able to stretch my neck - so when I played, although, there were no big hits to my body, the left side of my neck became painful.

When i'm not moving it, there's no pain, but as I twist it, there's a stinging pain on the left side. It's very painful when I twist my neck; and the pain remains only on the left side. The right side is completely normal.
