Sun does have benefits and considering we don't have sun in the UK maybe that could help. Opinions please. Thanks

I've had blepharospasms for 5 weeks. I asked before what i should do, but the only answers I could get were to see a doctor. This would be easy if I lived in France, Canada, or UK, but I'm an American with no health insurance. I am not asking how to get cheap health insurance or anything like that, because I am aware of these options. I just want to know what I can do about this, without help from a doctor or hospital.

I think I may have heard that taking multivitamins every other day is more optimal than taking the vitamins every day. Does anyone have factual knowledge on this?

The other night my boyfriend (45) was at a friend's house & talking all of a sudden his left hand curled in (looked like when someone snaps their fingers) & his head tilted to the left. His hand was stiff & he had pain around his right eye. He asked his friend to time it because he couldn't turn his head to look at the clock, it lasted for a little more than 3 minutes. It has only been a couple of days since this happened, but my boyfriend is usually really funny & made alot of faces. When I asked him if he could raise his eyebrows he could raise them both at the same time, He could raise the left one, but not the right (alone)
Also, his mouth; you know how Elvis Presley had a lip curl? Well, my boyfriend could curl the top 2 sides of the lips & the bottom too, but he can't curl the bottom right side. He believes that his blood pressure is in the normal range.

I don't want to go to the doctor for just a simple cold but i have been sneezing like crazy for about 2 week. I sleep with my fan blowing in my face, being that i have mitral valve prolapse and sweat all through the night its the only way i can sleep. How do i know if its a cold or if i should just keep my fan off? I noticed over the last 2 or 3 days i have been very short of breath and every time i take a deep breath i have to cough but no congestion ever comes up its just like a tickle in my throat. Any my nose has been stuffed up for weeks. Does this sound like just a cold?

I played maybe 3 hours of Halo last night. Midway through playing, I lowered the seat because I got a bit uncomfortable. I think that's why it hurts, because I had to look up at a screen more.

I went to sleep hoping I'd feel all better the next day, but no, the pain is still there when I have my neck in certain positions. I can straigthen my neck with a bit of pain, but I can't seem to arch it back more then that.

Anybody go through this before?

I really don't get this "physician heal thyself" mentality.

Even though many drugs are sold OTC these days that used to require a script in days-gone-by, the only reason they were "allowed" to be sold OTC is probably because people couldn't afford doctors (in the USA) and without government regulation on all that stuff, they just downloaded the responsibilities onto the pharmacists and allowed consumers to have "access" to these drugs.

The other issue too is that drugs were "COVERED" by insurance companies when prescribed by doctors, but having them sold OTC removed that coverage, so the COST was downloaded onto consumers too.

When are people going to wake up and see that this is all a scam designed to gouge the consumers?

Drugs that are sold this way can eventually kill you but you'll never be the wiser will you?

IGNORANCE is what all these corporations are counting on. No one can blame them when you yourself are the one doing you harm. Herbal stuff is worse!!

I'm thinking of getting an iron supplement. I'm 16 and I think I may be deficient because I've had cases recently where I'd feel dizzy after exercising (although not anymore currently) and also I have dark circles under my eyes and I just think I'm not getting enough iron for my age. But I've read that it is easy to overdose on iron. How much % DV can make you overdose?

Is it not just the fact that as we get older our brain becomes jam packed with stuff over the years, and there is no room for new stuff, hence memory loss. What we really need in our brain today is a delete mechanism to get rid of the stuff that is cloging up our minds. It strikes me that evolution is at a standstill.

i have to wake up at 5am every morning to go to school. i eat breakfast around 6am. the thing is, as we drive to school i get horrible stomach pains and feel nausious and the pain wraps around to my back. about two hours later, it goes away. at night i can not sleep (i go to bed at 10 and it isnt until around 2 that i actually fall asleep) so i go on 3 hrs of sleep. around 8pm the stomach pains start up again continuing into my back.

i dont know what to do. my grades are dropping and i dont know what do do. my grandma (who has like 20 medical books and three cabenets full of vitamin bottles in her kitchen) told me to take potassium. she said it would help with the sleep because i am only sixteen and too young according to my doctor to take any sleep aids like lunesta or meletona so my grandma suggested potassium for sleeping and ginger for the stomach aches.

i just want this to stop. this is my jr year and my grades are falling. what should i do? will these things help??

the TSH level which come to find out doesn't determine if you are hypothyroid anyway. I am going to go back to her and request new bloodwork be taken for a T3 and T4.
