My cousin's daughter aged 2 has, for the last 3 weeks, awaken with her left hand tightly clenched and her arm drawn up into her chest. This doesn't happen every single day, but at least once every two or three days. She also does this in the afternoon, mainly after waking up from a nap. It takes approximately 2 hours for her to open her clenched hand, and if you try to force it, she says that it hurts. Sometimes she will leave her ring finger touching her palm after opening her hand. They have taken her to the pediatrician and they haven't found any obvious nerve damage in that arm, and have now scheduled her for an MRI of her brain at the beginning of October. Does this sound neurological? What all could the problem be? Has anyone else experienced this or know someone who has?

I have the most painful calluses on my small toes. I have been to the Dr, and he lasers them, but my toes always start to hurt within a few days. Any suggestions to soften that skin would be greatly appreciated.

I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux when I was 15 (I'm now 20) and I've had trouble swallowing since about 15 too. The doctor told me that it was probably also due to the Acid Reflux so I was given medication and sent on my way.

That didn't help and I am now 20 and my swallowing and acid reflux is just as bad as ever, so bad that sometimes I actually choke on the food and can't breathe and have to force myself to cough it back it. It's nearly gotten to the point where I am even scared to try to eat therefore I eat small portions throughout the day with a drink near by to help it go down.

I have also stopped eating out in public because of this for the fear that something may happen and I'll end up making a scene in front of a bunch of strangers.

Does anyone know what I should do? I've been back to the doctor [two different doctors] and they both have said the same thing.

Any help?

I got my eyes checked and they are fine. I am going to the dr next week, but this is driving me crazy.

I get headaches for around 3 - 5 days at a time. Not migranes, but dull throbbing headaches...they get severe, then let up for a little bit. They go away for a day or so, then it starts all over again.

Ever since the local council brought in the policy to empty our bins once a fortnight we have been plagued with flys in the house. We are thinking of holding a mass demonstration and inviting the press along. Is the uplift of refuge not what we pay our council tax for? Soon it will be rats and the councils will be responsible for bringing plagues back to Scotland. Have you any ideas or suggestions as to how we could bring this problem to light?

I've noticed for the last couple of years that I only breath through my left nostril. When I plug it up I can barely breath through my right nostril. Is this normal? Should I have it looked at by a specialist?

So tomorrow I'm going to be participating in the blood drive at my school. However, I read in the form that you are not supposed to be giving blood if you are addicted to drugs. Now, I have to take two advils every 6 hours for very painful chronic pain in my back (that was redundant), and, I also have to take 72 miligrams of Concerta each morning because I have ADD. Now, I'm not addicted to either of these medications, but I'm worried that I wont be able to give blood because I have to take such high doses. Will this be a problem? And if it is, do you think it will be smart to just skip it for a couple of hours?
