Other - General Health Care - August 2006

I am a 15 year old girl and have a fairly healthy past but lately I have unusual things happening to my body. Usually 5 times a week, sometimes more, lately an area in my upper-left side of the abdomen under the ribs has been hurting, and it will be painful for up to 2 hours. The pain is like a stabbing/pinching and I have tried to figure out if it is linked to something, but it happens at random times. Sometimes when I have just eaten, other times on an empty stomach, sometimes when I have been walking or moving around, othertimes when I have just been standing there. The past few days, this seems very unrelated, but I have been sneezing quite a bit and I have no allergies and have checked online and the allergies in my area are low, and when they have been high I have had no problem. Also last night I was cold in my room while I was trying to sleep and I stood up to turn down the fan, and when I stood up and reached up and pulled I got very dizzy and things when dark. Thanks!

Luvs added the new blue extra absorbancy stuff on the inside of the diaper, it seems to irritate my son's skin on his genital area and abdomin. Wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. The old luvs never bothered him.

I normally wear contacts, but recently changed to glasses (NOT due to allergies). My glasses need to be updated, they are an old perscription. A few days after wearing my glasses, my eyes started drying our really bad. Again, this is not due to allergies, but could the dryness be due to my eyes straining to see?

Given that over £8.1 Billion is raised through taxation on smoking, Shouldnt we cut them some slack? where does all this tax go? schools, hospitals et.....

oh yes and cost (net) of smoking to the NHS is 1.5 Billion

these are all goverment printed figures so what would happen if this revenue wasnt there?

cost on the NHS = http://www.ash.org.uk/html/cessation/primarycare.html

Revenue Raised By Smoking = http://www.ash.org.uk/html/press/060320.html

£7.5 billion is alot of money

There are alot of people that would love to be able to have healthcare coverage but cant afford it.

There are others that have had healthcare coverage for so long that they think that it is a right. These people tend to not follow directions of their medical providers, which makes them sick again, and then their back wondering why they are sick again.

If your not going to follow the advise of medical providers then either find a new physician that understands your needs or withdraw from the healthcare plan.
It is people like you that are unhealthy that require alot more personal attention that are keeping costs high for those of us that would like to pay less for healthcare.

A word to the healthcare providers.
If your patients dont listen and follow your advice or instructions then you should drop them as your patient and make them go to another physician. If they dont want to listen to the 2nd person then they need to be dropped from the plan all together.

I spent 5 years working as a contractor in London hospitals.
The people who allocate the contracts out ask for bribes to give out the tenders.
They skim NHS money to feather their own nests and the Hospital staff have more managers than doctors and nurses.

For like the last 3 weeks i have been experiencing something i never have before. I have been getting these pimple looking things on my body. They are like tiny little pimples(pus filled but tiny) They only itch when i first notice them for like a second and then it just stays like that.They usually happen at night when i go to bed.I notice when i get up in the morning. In a span of 3 weeks i have maybe gotten like like 8 no more than like 12 i believe. They dont erupt or anything i usually pick at it and it goes away.I left one alone and it did nothing just stayed the same way.Its kinda scaring me a little but i dont know what to think.I live in arizona and i think i noticed it started happening when it started raining but i dont know ive been thinking what if its a disease of some sort but then they would turn into sores right. Can anybody help??

I was told that smoking thins your blood which is not good for having anesthesia, but I'm not sure how much time is needed for your blood to return to normal.
