I think i have an ear infection, i have had them b4 and was given oral nti biotics, but it just keeps coming back. Anyway im going on monday, but for now what can i do cos its driving me up the wall, it doesnt really hurt, just itches and i can feel the pressure change all the time. Ive been itching it with roled up loo roll, which i know i probably shouldnt but it feels so nice lol!! Tho actually hurts a bit too when i scratch certain bits. Someone at work said to put littl bits of ice in my ear nd let the water drip down, i did this and it did stop it itching for a tiny bit but made me really dizzy? Anyone got any suggestions?

i am a 16 year old girl. since thursday i have had an extremly sore throat constantly. it stops me from sleeping and it is so painful that i can't swallow which means i have to spit (which i despise). i am not a big eater anyway but i have eaten next to nothing or drunk next to nothing since thursday. it is a saturday so can't go to the doctors as they are closed at weekends. anyone have any ideas what this could be and how serious it is? or is it nothing? also, i have started getting very nasty headaches right behind my eyes which tablets don't relieve.

thank you in advance.

ps. i dont no if this is relevent but i had my last GCSE exam on wednesday (the whole exam time was quite stressful)

I can make my eardrums rumble. (at least I think it is my eardrums) It is as if I am isolating the muscles around them and tense tense them up and then they rumble. Of course it's not loud enough for anyone else to hear. And no I am not hearing things. Also I have been able to do this as long I can remember. It doesn't hurt either. Nothing shows up as abnormal on hearing tests.

Maybe we would be better off with private fire care ?
How about if you call the 'for profit' fire dept, and you find out that they lost your paper work, and said, please call back during regular business hours....then dail tone.!
How about a 'for profit' police dept. ? That sounds real cool !
Would criminals be able buy their way out of trouble?
Or would the criminals prey on folks not current will the police bill?
Or would 'for profit' health care mean that your family member will die on the floor of a modern hospital because of a funding issue?

Hi, I am a 26 year old male. I'm also a hypochondriac and get scared of having diseases or conditions and such. Recently, a lady at my work had a brain anyeurism. This has scared me a lot.

I don't know much about that condition, but I am afraid to do so much research. The research I've done cites hypertension, artherosclorosis, and congential defects as causes for anyeurisms. But I'm still afraid because I don't know if it's something someone can detect before it gets worse.

I'm in good health, low blood pressure, normal cholestorol, weight is fine for my height and age, circulation is good.

I'm afraid of going to bed at night worrying about this and I'm afraid of stuff happening while I sleep and being near defensless or not as able to get help.

In a few weeks I'll have a regular dr. appt, Until then, I was thinking if there was a member of this community who could reasuure me and get rid of my fears, that would help me.

Thank you so much in advance,

Alex =/

Every so often, I get tremors in my hands, and I start to feel jittery. Actually, it feels like my blood sugar is low, but I've checked it the last 5 or 6 times, and it's been normal and consistent. I don't have any other symptoms. I've tried to pinpoint what causes it, whether it's stress, exercise, caffeine.. but there aren't any consistencies that I can see. It only affects my hands. I thought it might be a sodium deficiency, because it seems to get better if I eat a lot of salt or take a salt pill, but when I did some research, my symptoms aren't really consistent with a sodium deficiency (which is quite serious, from what I can gather). I'm planning to bring it up with my doctor next time I go, but wanted to get some input from anyone else who might have gone through this. Thanks!!!

Would the results of a basic blood test (for your annual check up) show or detect alcohol? If so, what would it be called on the results?

hi I would just like to know if alchol is the main cause to this.
Is hepatitis the most likely cause?

PHYSICIANS ONLY! My mothers doctor is very busy. He handwrites his prescriptions. Does he know the date when he wrote out a specific script? Do they just write down the medicine and the milligrams or do they write down the all information such as dosage/milligrams/date prescribed/quantity. Sometimes I wonder if he writes down anything except the medicine type due to the fact he is so overworked.

I fall asleep quite quickly but every night for the past 6 or so weeks I have been waking around 4.00am and I cant go back to sleep. Ive tried to read to get me back to sleep, Ive got up and done stuff but I am really too knackered to do either as my body feels weak from lack of sleep and all I want to do is go back to sleep. Ive been on antidepressants for about the same length of time but my GP doesnt reckon it is that. Any ideas would be much appreciated as I am finding I have hardly any energy to do anything in the day which isnt helped by the fact that I am recovering from an long term illness that have left me quite weak anyway.
Thanks all.

i have a swollen lymph node on my thyroid and had gotten a ultra sound done on it id say a month and a half ago the doctor said it looks good and not cancerous but she was going to send me to a ear nose and throat specialist just to be sure. well they soonest they could get me in is the end of july so i said ok thinking she say the ultra sound pics if it looked bad i would get in sooner, latly i have been feeling so tired almost unbearable its hard to get out of bed and all day long i'm pooped. i was wondering if it could be because of my thyroid and if i should try to get in sooner, or maybe its just the heat....what do you think
