About the vicinity of 110 american dollars for a 90 day supply. This includes shipping and handling. I looked around on the computer and found mixed results as far as the people it does or does not relieve.
In case you're asking, it's called alcis.

I had to save my cat from a cat fight today and of course, I got scratched all up my arms. Dumb, I know, but I wasn't going to watch my kitty get beat up by a much bigger cat ^.^ The problem is, i'm in a wedidng next week and now it's going to look like I was in a knife fight! Eeek! How could I possibly go about covering up my battle wounds on the day of the wedding? Any suggestions on speeding up the healing process? ANY suggestions would be great! :)

It isn't one of those "it might be good to take but there is no proof is actually does anything" kind of situations, is it?

I'm going to shut my eyes for a while as soon as I finish typing this and see if it will go away. I recall people who get migrane headaches talk of this. It ssems to be swirling and is more to my left than right. That's how I'm able to type this. Outside light really messes up this whole undescribable image and makes it worse. I'm going to lay down a while and come back and read the answers. Hopefully it will be gone. This is the first time anything llike this has happened to me. Thanks for any ideas of what it could be.

ok so I think I might be getting a bit of a drink problem and it is detrimental to my health. I tend to binge drink at the weekends. I would like some serious advice on how I could say plan to go to the pub an dhave 3 or 4 drinks and then leave. I usually drink myself into oblivion and I am just fed up of doing it. What can I do? Perhaps I should pre-arrange for someone to collect me? Does anyone have any remedies that they use?

Hope you can help. This is serious even though I joked in the question. Thanks in advance

I recently switched from Advil to a generic asprin to save some money. I have a bad back, and the doc's won't give me pain meds mainly cause they said they don't want me to get addicted to them, and that I don't need it. HA! What do they know? They are only doctors! LOL (hence my sarcasim?). Anyway, my question pertains to a pain releiver with Actaminophen in it. For some reason, since I switched, my tummy has been bothering me a lot lately! Why would a generic asprin upset my tummy, and advil not upset my tummy?? Thanks for the answer!

Came to see him in the first place? I did....had a Fractured Ankle if not two, fractured and one broken.... of them from a tumble down the stairs, went to ER and they nearly laughed at me. Three weeks later, still VERY hard to walk, I got a letter stating that I had a broken ankle. I went back...they suited me up with a jerry-rigged aparatus, and when i went to my physician, I think he smelled a lawsuit...i wouldn't have sued then....then he dropped me like THAT!!!! he said to get rid of my crutches, etc....now i cannot walk more than three blocks.....anything like this ever happen to you?NOW I am livid.....how about you?????
NOW I am ready to sue!!!

I am flat-footed and when I put pressure on my left ankle it feels like it is totally flat. It feels like it is collapsed. It hurts a little. But it feels like the slightest bit of more pressure or twist, will break it easily. What does this sound like?

hi. im 14 years and about 2 years ago i was diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrom (PPS). my old doctor sent me to physical therapy, which didnt help me. ive been using braces, wearing good shoes, icing, taping etc. and i still have a lot of pain in my knees. for a while, the pain wasnt so bad if i wasnt squating or running or going up or down stairs, but lately its been getting really bad again. my knee is not swallon. do you think i might need a cortisone shot? ive looked up things that help with PPS and havent seen anything about a cortisone shot, and my old doctor told me it wont help, but im just curious. thank you so much!!

I've been waking up either around 3 or 6 in the morning to go the bathroom for the past week! This never usually happens...but I'm back at college now so I'm not really sure why I'm doing that. I just want to sleep through the entire night without waking up...is there anything that will help me do that?

This section really scares me. A lot of people sound like they have serious symptoms but they haven't seen a doctor. Instead they are asking strangers to diagnose them online.

What is wrong with this picture?
