General Health Care - September 2007

This morning I woke up and couldn't move my arms...I thought I had just slept on them (you know how that is, but usually it's one arm) so i tried to fling my body over. I didn't move AT ALL. I tried moving my legs...and nothing worked! I tried talking, screaming, and even opening my mouth...my body felt like it was completely dead or something. Finally I snapped out of it (probably 20 seconds altogether) but I still find it so strange. I know I was awake, and my eyes were halfway open, but my body was NOT moving. Has anyone experienced this? Is it a sign of bad health or what? So odd...

I was helping a friend wash their truck when the paint started to rub off onto the cloth, very soon after, I was spraying the paint off of the cloth into a bucket, and the water went right into my eye, I was wondering if it would be possible to get lead poisoning from this since I know alot of paints for automobiles have lead in them.

I am 14 years old and healthy. A few hours ago, I got up from watching TV for about an hour. When I did, I took a deep breath and I felt a very sharp cramp-like pain under my right rib cage. I haven't done anything strenuous recently so I don't think that it could be that. But, I have just begun gym class after a "lazy summer". Could that be whats causing it? I'm really nervous. I have a "fear" of the doctor, really, I do. Please help!!!

I've gone two entire weeks without cutting,and I'm using the alternatives suggested in therapy,i.e snapping an elastic band,drawing on myself with red pen,etc. But right now I feel the urge BADLY and there's no one to talk to about it. I don't want to but yet at the same time I do. Will anyone take some time to just IM and give advice and distract me from this? Thank you so much.

I suffer from migraines. I don't get them often but since our air conditioning went out I have noticed more headaches. Yesterday as the day heated up my headache became worse. I have prescription Imitrex and took one but it didn't help (that was a first) As the day cooled my headache lessened. At the end of the day it was completely gone. At times I would get cold chills and my head would absolutely pound. Could my headache be heat related?

I think I strained a muscle around my right scapula 3 day ago when I was trying to get out of the back of my van with a sudden move. Since then, I have a muscle pain from that area. Muscle pain aside, what really hurts is breathing. I suffer a great amount of pain when I take a deep breath or when I sneeze. This problem was never present before the injury. Do you think I should go see a doctor or should I just rest?
