Every four or five weeks I go through this thing. First I have pretty intense pain, in my stomach, like I really have to go to the bathroom or I'll explode. It comes and goes and lasts for about 5 or so seconds. Then my body heats up. Last time my hands and my face were completely beat red and I feel dizzy . Then after a while I finally go to the bathroom pretty good. Then my body relaxs and then this horrible pain begins. Its always in my arms and stomach, and in various other places including legs and head. It is the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. Wherever it hurts it throbs, but it is not a throbbing pain, more of a deep body ache that comes in waves. If I move my arm in any direction it will feel ok for a second and then the wave of pain comes. I have Crohn's disease but I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. I often have similiar pain but a tylenol usually kills that but when this comes it is miserable and nothing help

They say you always gotta stretch but what happens if you play a quick game of basketball? For instance, i did a quickgame with my friends played for an hour. i took off my shoe and i felt that pain that nobody likes. What causes that and why? It happens usually on my right leg below the knees and above the ankles, what do you call that muscle too? what can make me prevent this from happening except stretching because stretching is boring and i think its a waste of time. My friends just say im an idiot but who can convince me?

My nose has been running for weeks now (ah, Illinois autumns!) and my dr prescribed Zyrtec. I've never taken it. What is your opinion of this medication, and how might it help/affect me? I am a 43 year-old female who is 5'3" and 140 lbs. Thanks.

how can I find a doctor that will listen to me?

my doctor told me that surgery (for my TMJ) is the only thing that will actually "fix" it, but that he wants me to try other things to "make it better" first! I'm in so much pain, I just want to find a doctor that will listen to me and perform the surgery! help!

I am a 42 year old mom, wife, and teacher. Everyday when I get home I want to take a nap. I get really sleepy around 5:00 and the couch just calls my name. I know I could be getting lots of stuff done during that time. I usually sleep for at least 1 hr. Then, I stay up until about midnight. Do you do this? I don't do it every day, but about 4 out of 7 days. I don't want to go to bed every night at 9:00.

I'm having really sharp pains right behind my right shoulder blade, and it traves down my arm, and now I'm having really bad joint pain in my right hand. What could be happening. Lately I've been having trouble either letting go of objects, or grabbing onto things. It's like my hands "don't work" sometimes. What could be wrong?

I'm a freshman in college and I'm having a hard time waking up for my classes. I set an alarm clock the loudest it can go and set my alarm on my cell phone, but I always turn the alarm clock off in my sleep and ignore my phone. When I do wake up, I'm still half asleep and convince myself that I can skip my class or sleep a little longer. :(
I go to bed at 12:00 every night and wake up around 7:00. I also takes naps sometimes during the day, so it's not like I don't get enough sleep.

My ear has been stuffy since two Saturdays ago. It also started to make this popping noise when I sswallowed, yawned, whatever, and sometimes randomly about a week ago. Now the pops are getting quieter so I can't tell if it is still stuffy because I think I got used to it. If I can't feel my ears being stuffy or hear those pops by my appointment on Friday, should I still get it looked at or cancel? And does anyone know what that possibly could be?

I was discussing a certain issue that I've been having (which I don't want to reveal or talk about here), and my co-worker suggested that I try Colon Blow. It sounded like a cereal or something.

Where can I find this? Do they sell it at Whole Foods?

I'm a large guy and because of my weight, my lower back has a hard time holding me up. I can't stand for more than 10 minutes before I have to sit down because of crippling pain. People say, "just loose weight and you're back will be fine!" Well, I can't exercise if my back won't let me. I need to know what I can do to strengthen my lower back so that it can hold me up a bit better. When that happens, I can do more exercising. Are there any kinds of medications that will help? Thanks to all who reply!

The sting in my eyes
the cut on my arm
what you don't know
will do you no harm

The blade in my room
black clothes in my closet
The blood on my desk
is just a deposit

Can I live though this pain?
But how could it end?
Will I ever see you
will my heart mend?

I don't think it will
My spirit is broken
I've lost it already
It's full of your toxin
