Since leaving my pediatrician about 3 years ago, I've just gone to doctors provided on my college campus. I have scheduled an appointment with a new GP for next week. I've had quite a few health problems in the past and have been to a few specialists (ear/nose/throat, uralogist, cardiologist etc.) for quite a good period of time. Would it be best to bring those old records or just make a list of every 'problem' I've had in the past?

Thanks :)

I work graveyard shift or third shift, that's from 10:00 pm and 6:00 am, and I've been assigned to this shift for almost two months already. I find myself extremely tired especially since I lack so much sleep. Since I worked in the third shift, I only get five to six hours of sleep a day, sometimes even four. Will power naps during my break at midnight work for me? I never really tried it yet. I don't want to change to another shift either, because I was hoping my body clock would eventually get used to this shift. I need all the help I can get from you guys.

I smoke about a pack of full flavored cigarettes a day, and I would like to quit smoking here soon. Notice I am not fully comitted yet to doing so; ) Anyway I was wondering if anyone had any ideas that helped them quit smoking? Iwould like any and all advice on this subject. The only people I DON'T want to hear from, and with all due respect, is the people that have never smoked cigarettes, because you can't understand the addiction, and I don't need someone talking down to me. I am 24 years old and I started when I was about 13. I did it to "be cool" Anyway I regret it and would like to stop. Any advice, ideas, and/or suggestions no matter how bizarre, I would like to hear them. Thank You

I have finger pain on three fingers that abut one another. The pain seems to be in the joints (but I am not sure); I can feel it when I push inwards on the fingertips, if I move the finger around, and if I press on the joint area. One finger actually has a hard lump on the side and it hurts when I press in on that - that is on the side of a joint. The pain is mild and I have had no injuries (well to be more precise - I did have an injury about three months ago - I fell from a horse and was drug - and it did injure one of those fingers - BUT this pain seems new, or maybe is getting worse). The three fingers are the pinkie to the middle finger. Oh, one more thing - I have had this for a few months. I currently live in a country overseas with minimal healthcare - and those cases they do see are MAJOR - like HIV/AIDS, so I haven't seen a doctor here. Any ideas here? Thanks much

Sometimes it even wakes me up in the middle of the night! What could that be? Is that acid reflux disease? I do have heart burn a lot too, but never puked in my mouth until the last couple of months?

I want to quit for me. However, my husband smokes and I dont want to expect him to quit. I also find it hard because I can't stay away from smokers, and I love to drink and smoke together, I cant very well stay away from drinking on the weekends either. I need that to wind down on the weekends, My husband is in Iraq and things are Very stressful right now, I picked a bad time to quit, but its a top priority for me right now. Please any advice would be great. I have tried cold turkey and as soon as I eat or go walking, or go kart riding, anything i do on a normal day, I want one so bad, and my friends and family are no help cause they give into my begging. Please help me out here.

I have done some research that tells that Niacin covers traces of THC to fool a drug test, but does the THC deplete in the same amount of time that it regularly would without the interference of Niacin? Also, how many MG of this vitamin and how often? Thanks.

How do you help stop the itch and pain of having many bug bites. My friend has over 50 bites from one night outside all over his arms (looks like hives almost!). Is there any way to stop the itching. I heard something about putting clear nail polish on them....Sprays like Itch X aren't very good for this situation either.

when he talks or explains something, its worse at that time. He has no medical conditions, and is perfectly normal. He's not going through any stressful situation, or the family for that matter. He doesn't drink alot of coke or eat sweets more than he needs to. He has not tried any new foods. His eyesight is okay. Other than this blinking problem, he is completely normal. Is there anything I can do or you can suggest?
