A couple of days ago I got out of bed and felt really light headed and dizzy.I fainted in my office and I went home. My temperature is 107 and I feel really really ill. I have severe stomach pains on my right side and I keep throwing up. I feel really dizzy and faint about 70% of the time and my pulse is really fast. The pains in my stomach are getting worse, to the point of unbearable sharp cutting pains. Please help me.

I have been diagnosed about 7mos ago with Degenerative Arthritis in my Lower Lumbar (L4). I can not take my med's when working, makes me very tired (Vicodin). I have a sit down job (Desktop Publishing) and after a few hours, my back is killing me. I have the chair supports for my back and get up every 30min or so to stretch. What kind of exercises could I do that help to strengthen my back muscles that won't be too over-exerting? And would Advil or Bayer be better for the inflamation?

I normally wear contact lenses all of the time and have done so for several years. However, I keep a pair of glasses in case of emergencies because I hate them. Yesterday, my left eye became irritated and I was forced to remove my contact lenses. Today I had to wear my pair of glasses to work and have noticed that they make my forehead hurt terribly! Also, the back of my head hurts especially when I look down. Why? Is there anything I can do to make the pain go away? Like I said, I hate glasses and I can't wait for my eye irritaiton to go away so I can wear my contact lenses.

My (right) wrist has been hurting for a few weeks. Today it really hurts but yesterday it wasn't so bad. It hurts more when I bend it back rather then bending it foward and seems to be more painful on the same side as my pinky finger. It's also hard for me to grip and lift heavy things. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Do you think it's worth getting check out?

I stepped on a rusty nail 2 days ago and I am going to the doctor today to get it cleaned and a tetanus shot. But now my toes are swollen and purple, and I can't move them. I'm sure it is just trauma, but I'm not a sucker for pain and this REALLY hurts! Does anyone know if they will give me crutches when I go to the doctor, I can hardly walk.

Whenever I exercise, running or hard walking, my achilles tendon flares up and becomes very sore. It will stay that way for weeks. I makes exercising very difficult. I need to be able to continue exercising without having to worry about this tendenitis.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

I am experiencing pain but it comes and goes. I didn't know if the early pain was constant or if it came and went. What were your symptoms?

I enjoy cleansing weekly with an enema, sometimes water, sometimes soap, sometimes coffee mixtures. I have enjoyed the feeling of being that cleaned out. Anyone else? I'm on IM chris1971_99 all the time.

I don't have diabetes (been tested for it). I don't wear tight socks or pants or anything that could cut off circulation. I went to a concert last night and I was just sitting normally in my chair and I noticed that as the night progressed, my feet kept getting colder and more numb. Then when the concert was over and I got up to walk to my car, they were fine.

Any ideas?

My father broke his ankle in 3 places last fall and had to have screws to repair it. It will still bother him if hes on it for long periods of time. Hes almost 60 and I think hes got arthritis in it now. He is a carpenter by trade and has to be on his feet everyday. Does anyone know if infered heat will help him get some relief? Or any other suggestions? He does take meds for his heart and for cholesterol too. So yes, hes already on asprin.

I have been having this problem for the last 2 days, Yesterday, it took me till 4:45 AM to fall asleep. I have tried watching tv and lying in bed with my eyes closed. Nothing has seemed to help and I just seem to lye hopeless. I have to wake up at 7:30 AM and I haven't gotten any sleep yet. I tried warm milk and there is no success. IS it dangerous if I lose a night's sleep (yesterday I slept 6 hours). Thanks

I don't have any health insurance so I really don't want to go to a doctor if it's something that will heal up on it's own.

I've had it yesterday and today, the first night was a little uncomfortable with sharp pains deep in my ear, it woke me up a few times. I've been taking ibroprufen every 8 hours. It hurts but not extremely bad or anything.... How long should I wait before going to see a doctor?

I read that it can usually heal itself and today I feel a little better. I'm just not sure what to do.

I should almost not call them dreams. What happens in these "dreams" is, I am laying in bed with my jaw CLENCHED and I can't do anything to spread my teeth appart. I use my hands, and every ounce of will power to open my jaw, but it just hurts. At the same time my teeth are so clenched that it causes great pain (lose/lose). I'm in my own body, aware enough to hate the pain, realize it hurts, but not enough to WAKE UP. They last for a while, so does the pain, and I just plain don't want to sleep incase it happens again. I seem to have these dreams randomly, in no specific pattern. I havn't eaten anything out of the ordinary any of the more recent times this has happened. I am currently taking no medication. If anyone has any insight they might be able to offer, please PLEASE help as I used to LOVE my sleep. Thanks again.
