I don't know why, but over the past week or so, I have been acting really weird, like all jumpy and jerky. I don't really know how to put it, but does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Is there a time frame for "may become pregnant" (such as enough time for the medication to be completely out of your system), or does it mean if you EVER may become pregnant. Or does this vary based on the individual medications

Today I woke up feeling kind of sick, and all day I have been having this fluttering right between my rib cage. It does not favor one side or the other, left or right, it's right in the middle. When I am I just sitting, it feels like I am having heartburn, and when I push on the area It feels worse. It's not unbearable, but it is extremly uncomfortable. Does anyone have any clue what this fluttering is?

About 2 weeks ago I had a toothache and started getting tension headaches along w/ the toothache. A week later my toothache went away but the headaches did not. Last week I started getting spells of lightheadedness and nausea and have had some blurry visions and light sensitivity. This is going on 3 weeks now and they are not migraines I've had 2 migraines before ans I'm incapacitated when I have one so this is different. What I want to know is how soon should I see a doctor, my co-worker is on vacation right now and I'm in the process of finding a new doctor.

Last Wednesday I swallowed some hot mashed potatoes. It didn't burn my mouth because I swallowed quickly but it burned all the way down to my stomach. I am still having pain down my esophagus when I swallow. Could I have caused major damage, or should I just wait and let it get better? Does anyone know how long it takes for the esophagus to heal?

I am an Intern student from CT that is currently at a fish farm in TX. The other day, while my boss and I were doing some collecting at a local creek a small branch, no bigger than 1/5th of an inch in diameter went through my water shoe and punctured my heel. At first the wound was not bleeding and I brushed it off as a bruise, but less than a minute later it started bleeding for a short amount of time (roughly 5 mins). The pain, while excruciating to walk on, is not enough to make me feel it is worth going to the emergency room. However, I am not sure how long to stay off my foot, what to do to speed up recovery, or if there is anything I should be worried about. My insurance has still yet to kick in, and I dont want to make my boss pay for somthing that occured while on recreation. Any ideas? I want to get back to work, and I dont want to feel disabled come thanksgiving either.

This is seriously freaky. Last night I was wiping my hand across my face when I nearly retched. My fingers - or skin, rather - had this really strong smell of roast chicken - that pungent smell that reminds you of a slimy drumstick. ugh. I washed my hands immediately with soap, and - get this - smell all gone. Until about ten minutes later when it came back!
This has gone on for a whole day now. I have scrubbed, perfumed - everything - and the smell keeps coming back. Only the four fingers on my right hand. I am right-hand dominant. And before anybody asks, no, I haven't eaten chicken in a while. I have googled and googled and no luck.
Please help. It's freaking me out and I REALLY hate the smell of chicken. It is one thing if nobody knows what it is - it's another if it's only me and I would have to start wondering am I going bananas!

I'm fine with my actual body, but I hate the way I 'hold' it.

A few of my friends have said I walk funny & I'm too rigid. I used to be hunched over and slouchy, but I tried hard to improve my posture and apparently I'm too stiff now! When I walk, I feel really embarassed. My feet sometimes go inwards and I'll lean to one side. I just generally feel uncomfortable walking, because of how I look AND how I feel. I tried wearing trainers and that improved my walking a bit. Is it just me being anxious or is there something physically wrong? Or have I just got a uhm... unique walk?

I never know how to hold my arms... they sort of hang down and look... wrong? It's like I'm not capable of 'holding' my body.

I want to be confident but I can't seem to improve my posture!

Thanks if you reply.
(:

I know that usually pain means that your actually hurting your body, but in this case it doesn't. So, since I have a high pain tolerance is it okay if I continue with normal activities and ignore the back & muscle pain?

I've been told that I have swelling inside my bones and that's why I've been in so much pain these days. I have Avascular necrosis where your bone dies and you eventually have to have joint replacements. I have had 2. This is so painful I just have to sit down and cry! The xrays and MRIs state that there's nothing wrong really, with the bone but I know that there has to be cuz I've felt this pain before. My GP I think, is going to set me back up with my orthopod. Any thoughts about swelling inside of bones would be VERY helpful. I know all about AVN but never heard of internal bone swelling! Help please!?!?!?!

I confronted her and at first she denied and finally she admitted to me that she had taken them. I am not talking 2 or 3 im talking more than 20. To cap it off she has her own RX for pain. I am diabetic have have nueropothy problems and arthritis which I take the painkillers for. She has her own RX for her back.

the Autopsy is obligatory ?
what happen if the relatives do not want to do the autopsy
to their relatives ?
because if you watch this video make you think
what about if is your mother or father sister o brother
to me is something like abused the human body
at the funeral you think that you have your relative just like they go. and is not its this an abuse to the body (autopsy) check this out what about if you dont want ?

Sometimes in the morning or the middle of the night I'll wake up from the pain of leg cramps. It's always in the calf muscle, and doesn't happen in one leg more than the other. The cramping usually lasts 5-10 seconds after it wakes me up. I don't get this every night - it's more like a few times in a month. I never get it during the daytime. I've been told that it can be from electrolyte imbalances, but my diet is not lacking in that area.

Any ideas?
