General Health Care - September 2007

Ok, so I give blood every four months (everyone who can do it should, I reckon), and I'm not particularly squeamish. But when they take the needle out, I go so pale, and I nearly black out everytime. I'm a normal weight, I don't watch them take the needle out or anything like that, I eat healthily and I always drink plenty of water before I give blood. Does anyone have any idea why this keeps happening, or does it just happen to everyone?

I havent been feeling well, lately, just a few problems...... I get very sharp pains through my chest, sometimes they throw me to the ground, and I am not sure what makes them happen as they occur under different circumstances. I have been feeling consistently tired, and even though I get a lot of sleep, I still feel the same. I also tend to feel quite dizzy at times (no, Im not blonde :P). Sometimes I have to grab onto something to keep myself up. Is there anything serious going on here, or is it a lack of some protein or something? Thanks, for any help!!! :)

My next door neighbours are. I never hear them laughing and she is always complaining about something. They are both retired and all they seem to do is potter about in their front and back gardens.

I think my doc prescribed way too much. It's for a yeast infection. He prescribed me 30 10mg tabs to be taken over a month, but I've heard of people taking just a single dosage. Is he wrong or ill informed about this medicine?

Everyone once in a while (including right now), I get this extremely uncomfortable stomach pain, kind of shooting pains throughout my lower abdomen. Sometimes it keeps me awake, and at times I can't move a muscle in my body because it hurts so bad. I know this isn't the most ladylike thing, but it is occasionally accompanied by gas. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be?

Say when ANYONE gets to 300 Pounds they HAVE to join a MANDITORY exercise program?

Maybe break down the standards to include height to weight ratios and have people weigh in when they get there drivers licences renewed... or have to go to court for something...

I am 44 and going through the change of life. Right now I am right in the middle of PMS and Menopause. The doctor told me I would have headaches but they are really bad ones. I do cold packs and I take Advil for the pain. But mine last at least 4 days or more. Is this normal for headaches to last this long when going through Menopause?

Please be gentle with your answers. I am very serious and I am hurting a lot. This months period was the worst. I felt so abnormal. I was not myself at all. I felt really off balanced.

Thanks for your help

the other day, I hurt my back, this one girl jumped on my back,and it popped, and it has been sore since, this is like friday, it isn't too sore, but I a stiff because I am trying to not move much to hurt it, it only hurts when i bend over to far, or move a certain way. Do you think the damage is bad? could it lead to permanent nerve damage?
it doesn't hurt as much today, it is still some what sore, only if I walk to much also, or again, move a certain way, but I was just wonderin about all this.

I was hit by a locomotive in 1990 at 70 MPH, in my car, with my huband driving! My husband had a bump on his head. My son (18 yrs) had just graduted from the Marine corps in South Carolina had a fractured jaw. My oldest daughter (7yrs) went out throught the back windshield and was found where the trunk used to be. My youngest daughter (4 yrs) had 280+ stiches in her face and was in surgery for more than 7 hours to have her face reconstructed. I lost the top of my right ear and had 50 stitches in the back on the right side of my head. there was no gate, nor a bell to warn us before the train hit us. Our Camero SS was hitthree times...the front ripped off, the side sucked in, and the back torn off to the back seat. If we had had our seatbelts on, we would NOT be here today!

I got in a huge argument with my mom this morning, and I smashed a mirror, so I had to get stitches, and now I need to take a shower, but I don't wanna get my hand wet. I got the stitches on one of my knuckles on my right hand, and I'm right handed, so yeah...

I just realized that I don't know mine. Do you think it is important to know your blood type as an adult.

my son just had minor surgery today and I was wondering if there was anything I could use once his incisions heal, to minimize scaring? anything that actually works?

I've never had this condition before, I'm 21 years old. March is when I had problems and the doc found an external one. I've taken fiber on and off and suppositories, too, but I'm miserable. Just so painful I could cry when I go to the bathroom. (Btw, is having a baby worse than this?) I haven't taken the fiber 2x/day like doc says, because that leaves me running to the bathroom. I didn't adhere to docs orders. Is there a way to make it better or did I let it go too far? 6 months later and they are way worse than in the beginning. Throughout the 6 months it's been on and off, but the pain is now at a 10.
