General Health Care - November 2007

In the age of computers and huge health insurance companies that records your health from birth to death, the invention of readily available non-emergency medical centers (aka doc in a box), and the vast available doctors in any large market ... is there any reason to have a ralationship with any one doctor anymore?

I have a problem with my fingernails. They are only about 1/4 inch long, but they are curling under. What could be the cause of this? I know nails curl under when they get really long, but mine aren't that long. It is only on 1 finger on my right hand and 3 fingers on my left hand. And idea why this is happening?

I have gymnastics in a couple hours but I have a cold and not going isn't an option. Right now i have a sore throat and a little bit of a runny nose and I had a sore throat all day yesterday. Not going to gymnastics isn't an option, but the only cold medicine I have is Children's Triaminic Thin Strips Night Time Cold & Cough. Is it okay to take this during the day before I go to gymnastics? I haven't rlly noticed it making me drousy before. I took it last night about an hour before I went to bed and it still took the usual 1/2 hour- 1 hour to fall asleep.

these cramps are severe enough to cause trouble walking when in the legs. I have tried extra potassium and the like as well as regular stretching etc. but nothing seems to help and they
seem to be spreading to my arms as well. at first I thought it was a simple charlie horse. I was mistaken. I've also had what feels like a strained muscle in my neck but isn't that I think is related to these cramps. I'm only 38 so old age isn't a factor.I've never had a problem with muscle cramps until now. For the most part they only strike when I stretch. they began in my calves.Now I can feel them starting in my forarms. any thing anyone can tell me or suggest I would deeply appreciate.

Why do our muscles ache when we are ill? Is it caused by the same lactic acid that causes our muscles to ache after we have done exercise?
