I live in Iowa, and have no insurance, I have bipolar disorder, and can NOT go without my meds, I'm getting ready to run out. Does anyone know of any programs that I can apply for to cover medical expenses? I work full time, but through a temp service, so I'm not eligible for insurance through them. Any help would be great. Thanks so much!

I injured my knee on the 7th of April. Every medical professional that has examined it has thought that it was injured so badly as to need replacement. But none of the tests have concurred. Even the MRI show nothing. It hurts quite badly, it even woke me up in the middle of the night and made me cry from the pain. I'm completely confused. It hurts and looks bad, but no one can find anything. Any ideas?

Peace

I've noticed that I'm like the only one in my class that doesn't use all my fingers to type. I find it more comfortable when I just use my index fingers. I just can't type with them all. My friend says it's something to do with one side of my brain lol. Does anybody know why I'm like this?

Since I can remember, the left side of my body just doesn't want to work properly. I can't blink my left eye, wiggle my left toes or eat with my left hand (with a fork, I mean). Is this just down to being right handed or do I need to start panicing now??

ps. I come from a family of predominantly lefties...

I have just fallen up the stairs - again. I keep falling up or down them and as time passes it gets more often and more painful.

I just cannot stop doing it. I have fallen in public and private. So far no broken bones but I have hit my face and am in the middle of painful dental treatment. I have tried carpets, no carpets, different footwear, bare feet. My dog stops at the top or bottom to see if I am going to make it safely! I have even gone down two flights in one go at work. I stood at the bottom of the first flight quite dizzy still clutching my unsigned post and stepped backwards down the second flight. I am covered in bumps and bruises my poor partner is getting funny looks whenever I say this has happened, friends have asked if he ever loses his temper with me, poor man and I do not want to leave my little house and move into a bungalow, anyway like I say this happens everywhere.

Anyone have any solutions or do you have a similar problem?

I have a bad problem with staying up till 3-4am in the morning and sometimes later...Then I want to sleep till 11 or 12 the next day. How can I break this cycle? I hate being this way. I have been doing this for about two years now. Luckily, I have the luxury of not having to work. My husband takes good care of me, and doesn't really want me to work, (which is fine by me!!). I dont have any children, it is just me here all day. So I usually sleep in until he gets home for lunch. How can I get over this problem?? I would love to start getting up at around 6am and going to bed around 9 or 10...Does anyone else have this problem? I stay up either watching tv or playing on the computer...It's not like I am staying up to do something important. I just avoid going to bed. I have tried taking tylenol pm, and stuff to make me sleepy. I will get tired as hell, but fight my sleep cause I dont want to go to bed. HELP!!

when i got my tempurpedic bed it was nice and hard. and then my idiot friends started abusing it and one of them jumped on it twice. after a few months/about a year it got REALLY soft and now i can barely sleep on it. im paranoid. are tempurpedics supposed to soften a lot over time or is it because my friend jumped on it twice when i 1st bought it?

I drank a few bottles of Cal-Ion water a few days ago, which was supposed to be cleansing, but I got sick with a BP of 150/100 last night at the doctors. Was that the reason?

I have to fast from midnight until some time tomorrow morning. I have to get blood tests taken. I know they told me I can drink a little water but not too much. How much is exactly a little bit of water? & they told me to drink in sips.

He is ok but now I take care of him. Its only his first day out of the hospital and Im already exhausted! He broke his femur, so he cant barely even get into bed, none the less walk to the bathroom and stuff like that.
I have to work ALOT in order to pay for the bills while he is out of work.

What can I do to stay alert? As Im sitting on the couch I find myself just falling over asleep. I have to play the role of the housewife and mother and nurse and work full time. Besides taking drugs, what can I do in order to stay alert and awake so I can take care of him? I dont want to fall asleep at the wheel like he did!

Has anyone here been able to quit smoking? If so, what made you decide to quit, how did you quit, and how long did it take for the cravings to go away? Did you notice that things tasted and smelled differently afterwards? Do you feel physically different (gained weight, can walk faster, don't cough, etc.)?

Any info will help me : )

What is the weirdest health myth that you've heard? Or the weirdest home remedy?
My grandmother used to put butter on burns...butter is used for cooking so if you put it on a burn it makes it worse.

I'm sick and tired of poisoning myself with fluoride, but am worried that a water filter doesn't filter it out. I would hate to have to buy bottled water from now on.

Is there a reason medically that makes someone, not tired, but sleepy all day long? I can sleep 14-15 hours a day or more if allowed. This isn't normal. My husband is getting concerned.

Also, which ones don't leave a sticky or greasy residue on your hands?

I used to use Purell original formula and liked it because it was effective, soft on my hands (didn't dry it out, burn it, or leave a stinging sensation), and didn't leave ANY residue (not even the slightest bit) on my hands.

But now I can't use Purell anymore b/c I believe they changed the formula and now it dries out my skin, burns it, and make my skin sting for about 24 hours.

I have been using Purell everyday for about 5 years and now I can't use it anymore.

I don't really need to hear from cold-turkey quitters--we are speaking of someone who has been smoking for over 40 years--'cold turkey' would definitely bring withdrawal. Thanks.
