I dont want to take a whold ambien becuase I dont want a dependency. I should say I am on chemotherapy drugs as well which administer steroids to keep the nausea down. I figure the ambien had a greater chance of having a depencendy than red wine. What do you think? Age 53, male, light drinker.

I feel like I am not getting enough air into my lungs lately, this has only been happening today and yesterday. I don't know what is wrong, but I have been having a little obsession with air freshener at the beginning of the week, I didn't inhale it or anything, lol, I just was spraying all over the house constantly so our home will smell good, would that have anything to do with this? What do you think could be wrong??

regarding controlling the pain. I use to take OxyContin and Dilaudid daily. However, after getting off of the medicine, I really do not want to begin taking OxyContin again, because of the dependence it causes on your body.
My Doctor recently prescribed Opana, but I was allergic to that. Meds like darvocet and percocet and lortab have absolutely no effect on me.
I have also had a spinal cord simulator implanted only to have it removed a year latter as I helped none.
Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. There are days that I am ok (pain scale 5), however other days like today, I am in a level (9.5) and am getting no relief.
I can't go to the hospital every single time this happens for IV Dilaudid, so I am hoping for help from anyone who has this experience.
Thank you in advance.

I mean, it doesn't make sense. A 98.6 degree constant body temperature would make one believe that 85 degrees +/- would feel "cooler". I'm not talking whether the humidity os higher or not, but, what is behind the notion that temps cooler than our core body temps making us feel hot and uncomfortable? Does anyone have an educated idea?

My ankles crack all the time and it is loud. People have told me it has something to do with the tendon but I don't know. Also my left ankle gives out sometimes like if I have been hiking or doing something challenging. I can't even jump off of a swing anymore if i am hanging out at my cousin's house.

lately the mosquitos are horrible. i have no choice but to go out every morning to go to the bus stop. i litterally get swarmed. and im not the only one. i looked down at my had and there were five mosquitos right there on my hand. i dont want to use bug spray because the smell is really strong. ive heard that rubbing dryer sheets on u is supposed to help but that didnt work either. yesterday, two of them got swollen, and thats never happened before. things like benedryl doesnt work well for me. so here are my questions:

1.) is there any kind of scentless bugspray or tricks i can use to repel the mosquitos

2.)why did those two bites swell up when thats never happened before

3.)what works well for itches

4.)why are the mosquitos so bad this year?

plus give me any other tips or help you think i could use.

thanks sooooo much

My husband was very sick and diagnosed with lung cancer during the first week whilst he was in hospital.He was then told to go to another hospital for more tests he was given 4 different tests he had to be given but was left as an outpatient.Was given no pain relief and not told that he could attend the hospital in an emergency and if he was in pain was told to take paracetamol. This he suffered for 3 days in real real pain and when I eventually managed to get him to go to hospital (this was private ) he kept saying I have an appointment made,thought he had to wait . I took him in hospital at 2.30a.m. for pain relief expecting him to be sitting up when I arrived he was heavily out of it on morphin and his arms and feet were tied. I did not know his feet were tied and as soon as we arrived they released his arms but I did not know that one of his feet were still tied. He died by 11.45 a.m. We were told it was because no one was with him???? Why were they not caring for him properly.
