General Health Care - November 2007

its a very funny incident. i was very scared of needles n injections that doctors use.when i was just 8 yr old, my mom took me to doctor for injection. i was not aware of that, but when i came to knew that i started shouting very loudly
it was impossible for doctor to give me injection, so my mom had to clamp her hand on my mouth to smother my screams. she kept her hand tightly pressed on my mouth until doctor was finished with his job.if she wouldnt had covered my mouth, i would have created a scene out there coz i was screaming really hard.this incident really makes me laugh till now

.thank god i didnt had a blocked nose that day.do u think that my mom did the right thing at that moment? n why?

Hiya everyone I know this may sound a little silly. But my ears are really sensitive to sound. Things that other people can do and not even give a second thought to can be really difficult for me. For example sitting next toa phone that suddenly starts ringing is normal for some people but it makes me jump. Other things like a car horn or dog barking make me jump and i really don't know why. So you can understand how difficult going to a concert and a fireworks party for example would be. I know it sounds silly but I reaaly wish I could do something about it is there a cure or even a condition for this. Please take this seriously this isn't a joke.Is there anything I can do other than wear ear plugs? Please help thankyou in advance.

I broke my collar bone on Wednesday, and the Dr gave me Vicodin for the pain. This morning the discomfort is considerable, and I am wondering if it is safe to take some Advil in addition to the Vicodin. I suppose I could take more Vicodin, but it makes me feel loopy and slightly naseuos. Advice, please?

For many years, I went to occoptional therapy and it does work. The problem is that after a short peroid, a fall, trip, or just turn would make me worse than before p.t., I just gave up a few years ago and will not do any more. Now, they suggest water therapy. However, transportation is a major problem. Many times the handicapped bus would show up so late that I couldn't make the appointment. Do doctors understand that sometimes therapies are not an option any more?

I just recently became involved with EMS, and i bought trauma shears from a certain website, but i won't name it... the ones i got were low quality, very loose (the blades aren't close together, they're really flimsy) so i called them and they replaced them, and now the same thing is happening with the new pair...i did NOT cut through pennies with them...just some jeans and once cardboard, so i'm looking for a website to buy good, tough trauma shears from. do you know any good ones? like ones that don't get loose? is galls a good website for them?

It's pretty cold where I live right now, so we've had to have our heat on all day and night. It's making my nose so dry and uncomfortable it burns when I breath in through it. Is there anything I can do? It's the worst when I wake up in the morning. Someone told me I could open my window just a little bit at night and this would lessen the drying effects and still not make my room too cold. Is that true?

Any other advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I have two very large canker sores on the inside part of mouth on the flap of lip, and they keep bleeding. It doesn't matter if I touch them or not. I've tried one or two different medicines, but that just makes it bleed more. It doesn't even numb the pain like it's supposed to! How do I get them to go away?
