The doctor said I shouldn't need to take her in until her fever is 105 degrees. That seems really high to me. She isn't dehydrated and my sister said all they will do is give her Tylonal and Motrin to bring down the fever and you can do the same thing at home. I still feel a little on edge about not taking her. What temp would you take your child to the doc with?

Red/White wine - is it healthy? I have heard that every human should drink at least 50ml of red wine every day because its good for your blood pressure, heart etc. Is it true?

Recently I had some very explosive diareah. After this episode, my bowl movements consisted entirely of blood and a slime or mucus of some kind. This lasted approximately 18 hours. I have seen my dr. and given samples for testing. Other symptoms include abdominal pain and cramping (lower abdimen), some dizzyness and general disorientation in the beginning, loss of appetite, and now dificullty passing a bowl movement. My last bowel was soft w/both mucus/slime and blood present. The blood is not super bright but not extra dark either (crimson red would describe it pretty good I believe). Please if anyone can help me out I would like more information about what the cause may be and what I can do to alleviate the symptoms (especially the cramping). I see the dr. again in two weeks to get the lab results back. If you need more infor please ask. Thank you in advance, any advice is much appreciated.

My back hurts when I wake up and I always wake up every 2 hours or so. I bought a mattress 2 years ago which is one of those bowling ball matttresses but I personally dont think its that great since when my cats jump on the bed you still feel it. Any ideas whats wrong with me?

My left (and only left) eye waters uncontrollably. At first I thought it was allergies despite not having any other sypmtoms, but after taking allergy meds and this condition continuing for nearly a week now, I am stumped. The strange thing is that my pet chocolate labrador retriever has been having a similar problem with his eyes, and I am curious if I somehow contracted what he has? Is it possible that I somehow contracted this from my dog? Any help is very appreciative as I am sick of giving off the appearance that I was just crying. Oh yeah, there is nothing wrong with my right eye..only my left eye has been watering.

I am a step mother to my 10 year old boy. His mother left when he was 4 years old. I do understand that peeing on himself may be a pychological thing, thus his mom leaving him & feeling abandoned might play a factor to his peeing. My husband and I raise both children- he has custody. Anyway, I have tried from rewards systems, to spanking him, wrtiting standards, taking things away from him such as his videogames, baseball cards, and his train collection that he adores, tv, radio. We have talked to him, yelled at him, he has had group theapy... nothing seems to work. He continues to pee every single day- it seems like part of his routine everyday. My last resort is to drop it right? Let him be....perhaps he will realize that is wrong to pee on himself. My son refuses to ask to go to the restroom when he needs to, or stop from playing to go. I think its laziness on his end.... We are contstantly reminding him of going to the restroom. What more can I do to help him learn & have him stop?

I have been thinking about buying one of those home enema kits. I am not looking forward to it, but I have been reading up on colonic irrigation and I hear that there is a lot of health benefits of getting an enema done on occassion. Some benefits would include weight loss, cancer preventative, better digestion system. If you have had the procedure done before, could you give me suggestions. I am going on a health kick. I just quit drinking and smoking. I have started excercising more and I am slowly changing my diet.

We are warned about weight issues and foods that aren't healthy for us to eat, so then why are they the most expensive? People can't afford to buy them when living on a budget!!! e.g. the 'Organics' range.

'Clawback" is the amount the disabled person pays for medicaid services and the health and human services seems to have misintrepreted the law concerning this putting theformally working class into extreme poverty while those who never worked can benefit from all services without paying a dime.If we protest togather maybe some politician will listen to this anti American way of our governments treatment of the disabled.

Its so funny to hear your voice after you inhale the gas. I have heard of Astronauts and deep sea divers that have to breath helium for weeks as part of their training, so I always thought that it was harmless. But when I was at the store buying balloons these two little ladies behind the counter insisted that I never let the children play with the helium because it causes brain damage. I personally don't think so but maybe I'm wrong.

I am 70. I have to take vitamin D orally; but when I work outside in the heat and sun (gardening) my legs break out in "hives" or a heat rash that itches terribly and I have to come inside and sit down until it subsides. This affects my lower extremities only, i.e., knees to feet and elbows to fingers. I also take Neurontin for peripheral edema. Is this too much D?

I got really pissed. but since then i have had a chance to check out what they said. And i do have to agree with them. 90% of the American women are obese. from children to adults. also the men too. My question is why the hell did they let this happen to them. Im 6'2 weigh 216 lbs. so i carry my weight pretty good. Do you think we all should go on a diet lol. im not singling no certain person out. if i have offended anyone, im sorry but its the truth if you just look around you.
